Episode Summary – The David Avocado Wolfe Podcast 7.5

Guest: Dr. Chris Shelton

David Avocado Wolfe welcomes Dr. Chris Shelton to discuss the power of Qigong and its role in health, healing, and disease prevention. Chris introduces his latest book on Qigong, Chris Shelton’s Easy Guide to Emotional Well-Being with Qigong, which details how the practice affects the body medicinally and aligns with his "30 Days of Qigong" series on YouTube.

Key Takeaways:

Qigong as Self-Healing:

Qigong teaches people to become their own doctors by developing awareness of their bodies.
Ancient Chinese medicine views emotional states as major contributors to disease.
Practicing Qigong can help prevent illness by detecting imbalances before they manifest physically.

Qigong & Acupuncture:

Qigong is the foundation of acupuncture, based on thousands of years of wisdom.
Acupuncture meridians and points regulate different organs and bodily functions.
Understanding these meridians can help individuals identify and address health issues early.

The Connection Between Emotions & Disease:

Organs like the liver, kidneys, and heart correspond with different emotions and health conditions.
Facial features and minor signs—such as an eye tremor—can indicate underlying issues like liver stress or circulatory problems.
Ancient Chinese medicine recognizes "liver wind," an internal condition that can cause tremors and signal deeper imbalances.

Reading the Body for Health Insights:

Physical indicators, such as lines on the nose or earlobes, can warn of potential health risks like heart disease or diabetes.
The face is a map of a person’s health, revealing emotional and physical conditions.

Accessing the Book & the Qi Club:

Listeners can get Chris Shelton’s book by covering the cost of shipping.
Chris also runs the "Qi Club," a live Zoom-based Qigong class available weekly.
The club provides real-time guidance on Qigong movements, explaining their deeper effects on the body.

Final Thoughts:

David Wolfe and Chris Shelton emphasize the importance of self-awareness in health, urging listeners to explore Qigong as a tool for longevity, vitality, and disease prevention. They invite everyone to access the book and join the Qi Club for further learning.
