It has long been known in China that the internal energy generated by Tai Chi is good for one's health and can be used for martial purposes. What has not been emphasized until now is how effectively Tai Chi can prepare one to heal others. This video/DVD clearly establishes the relationship between Tai Chi and healing.The first series of Chi Kung exercises in this video/DVD was designed specifically to detoxify the body and clear out the meridian system, enabling you to heal yourself. These exercises include stimulation of the body with percussion, bone marrow washing, loosening of the joints, the 5 healing sounds and colors, and the 5 most useful acupressure points. The deep breathing techniques calm you emotionally and mentally and the segment on quiet sitting allows your higher self to become known to you.The next series is a brief style of Chi Kung/Tai Chi called "The Pearl of Immortality" and is accompanied by an instructional segment for easier learning. This style was chosen because it most effectively clears out the specific meridians of the body that are used in healing.This video/DVD concludes with 20 minutes of instruction in the fundamentals of Chi Kung healing with actual cases based on everyday situations.

Focus on Healing is a therapeutic exercise program for women who have had any kind of breast surgery, node dissection, chemotherapy or radiation. It was developed by two physicians and a dance movement specialist (Sherry Lebed Davis) to help women regain and maintain range of motion, help reduce the risk of Lymphedema, help prevent frozen shoulder, help decrease depression and add to increased sexuality. In 1979, Sherry's mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Both Sherry's grandmother and aunt had died from breast cancer, and her mother's diagnosis was overwhelming. To help her mother and others suffering from post-operative complications, Sherry worked with her two physician brothers to create this program. It was researched and the results published by Sherry and two physical therapists in 1984 in the National Physical Therapy Journal. As a result of the exercises in this program there was a 98% success rate in reducing the complications listed above. Today, more women are surviving breast cancer and statistics of developing Lymphedema range from 6% to 61%. Lymphedema, frozen shoulder, loss of range of motion and/or depression can occur 2 days after surgery to 30 years after surgery. Exercises such as the ones on this video can help prevent future problems for survivors, and therefore help to improve their quality of life after breast surgery. The video is 49 minutes long. It shows 5 women ranging in age from 35 to 72, all of whom have survived breast cancer from 6 months to over 20 years. They are not professional models, are tall, short, thin, not-so-thin, etc. and go through the exercises in an unintimidating manner. The movements can be done seated and Sherry, the narrator and leader of the exercises, constantly reminds the viewers to only do as much as they feel up to at the time. The pace never gets fast enough to become aerobic, to keep the heart beat down, especially right after surgery. (Always check with your doctor before beginning this program.) The music is classical for the slower sections, more upbeat for the alternating faster sections, and is fun to move to. You might even find yourself smiling! Enhancement, Inc. is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) company which produces videos for health and wellness. Focus on Healing is our first project and we are very pleased to be involved with helping to improve the quality of life for thousands of breast cancer survivors. As a nonprofit, we are always seeking funds to reach our goal of distributing this video as fast as possible to all the women who need it.
