DVD 1:
- Easy to comprehend video instruction of deep abdominal or lower dantian breathing.
- A demonstration of how to guide another into the breathing technique.
- Dantian Breathing Meditation for relaxation and restoration of your nervous system.

This breathing technique alone is a treasure, improving clarity, quieting the mind and increasing circulation of blood, oxygen and Qi throughout your body. With practice this meditation will lead you to a greater connection with the whole of your being.
There are philosophers of Qigong and there are farmers of Qigong. We are the latter, tilling the soil, fertilizing and watering the seed within. We connect and nourish the root with beneficial energies insuring a proper foundation for the growth of strong internal Qi.
DVD 2:
- Master Franklin reveals how to align and connect the energy centers in lower dantian; a powerful connection rarely taught to the uninitiated.
- Learn to spark a powerful connection and raise the Qi vibration up your spine.
- Cultivate Nei (internal) Qi to stop depletion and generate increased vitality flowing through your body. After the instruction is a follow along cultivation session.
Qi cultivation in lower dantian is the key to restoring health to all the organs and rejuvenating your original Qi. Sometimes called inner alchemy these techniques are deeply transformative.
Cultivating internal Qi in this system will produce a potent healing force that can be generated at will with practice.
DVD 3:
- Learn Crane Dynamic form to consolidate, strengthen and direct dynamic Qi flow.
- Master Franklin breaks down the form into separate movements and then performs the form in a continuous flow for you to follow along.
- Balance your energy with Turtle Longevity Form and refine the Qi you have cultivated by your practice.
The Crane Dynamic form along with cultivation in the lower dantian will cleanse your body of stagnant Qi and help to unblock and open up the energy pathways. Consistent training will help you develop strength, tone and confidence in your body as well as a clear and alert mind.
Learn Turtle Longevity form to integrate and balance the powerful Qi you have generated for a silky-smooth flow of Qi inside and out. The pleasant sensations in your body and mind reflect the abundance of clarified energy you have cultivated in your practice.
~ Qigong is an art of self-cultivation. When we become like the devoted farmer and cultivate our energy field with deep nurture and loving attention, the yield will be beyond your expectation

I have now worked through all three of the dvd’s. They are remarkable!!! They are particularly useful for me since your move. However, even if you were still here, they are an amazing review. I heard stuff I just did not catch the first time in class. It has made a significant difference in my daily practice. As you know, this is life changing stuff. Tell anyone that might have to slightest interest that Vic said to take your training and buy this dvd.

I am no stranger to Qigong and Tai Chi having over forty years experience, however I did not know what to expect from the Shaolin Mei Hua methods Leah Franklin teaches in this DVD set. To my surprise the techniques are truly unique and profoundly effective. I was looking for techniques that would raise my level of internally circulating Qi and I couldn’t be happier having found them here. Leah’s instruction is clear and easy to follow. She is a gem of a teacher. My progress was not only swift it was unlike anything I had experienced before taking me to a new level of Qi mastery. The quality of Qi flow throughout the whole body this cultivation program produces is like no other program I have experienced. Chip Carter

This 3 DVD set summarizes the essential elements of qi gong. The instructions are clear and the explanations are concise. Following each step leads to creation of your qi ball and feeling qi within your body. Leah Franklin has summarized an enormous amount of information on qi cultivation and distilled it into these 3 DVDs. She goes past the mystery of qi gong and gets right to the practices that will give you results. Highest recommendation.
