Chunyi Lin's, Spring Forest Qigong:

While learning to direct and enhance your body's energy can bring you tremendous benefit, Chunyi emphasizes in all of his classes the power of love and compassion.

"The most powerful healing force in the universe is pure, limitless, unconditional love. Even if you don't always feel loved or loving, this healing energy of unconditional love exists within you. Even if you don't always see this love in others, it exists within them, too." Chunyi Lin
