Preface: Can I really heal myself?

 The medical industry puts enormous social resources in the downstream of a person’s life. Doctors are busy rescuing “drowning” patients in the river flood, while ignoring soil and water conservation in the upper reaches of the river.

Instead of repeating the same old story, we hope that humanity can solve health problems earlier rather than later. Is there a philosophy and a method to achieve this goal?

Well, the universe has given us the abilities to do so, but we have long abandoned them. However, 
these capabilities have existed within human 
culture like an ancient seed lying dormant for millennia, waiting to surface. This seed is our innate self-healing mechanism. In fact, we humans are the only species on earth that gives up on self-healing, while plants and animals live and
multiply thanks to their self-healing power.

Many ordinary people have discovered their own 
huge potential in preventing and self-healing 
diseases through PaidaLajin.

PaidaLajin is a method that activates the self-healing mechanism in us. It is not a medical therapy, but includes slapping and stretching exercises that are simpler than yoga and T’ai Chi. Almost everyone can learn the techniques in a few minutes. PaidaLajin is an amazing way to prevent, diagnose, and heal diseases. It reclaims our human nature, and manifests the divine in us.

The universal values of PaidaLajin are derived from an ancient outlook on the universe and health care: positive energy inside the body wards off illness. This philosophy can be traced back to the ancient Chinese classics Huang Di Nei Jing (The Yellow Emperor’s Canon of Internal Medicine) and Tao Te Ching.

Thanks to its simple and effective nature, PaidaLajin has spread to over 60 countries and territories over the past six years. Tens of millions of people of different skin colors, religious beliefs (including Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism), and social backgrounds are practicing and benefiting from PaidaLajin. We have received testimonials from people across the world who
have gained relief from or self-healed various pains, cancer, stroke, diabetes, psoriasis, depression, hypertension, heart disease, uterine fibroids, and many other illnesses, some of which are not recognized by Western medicine.

Our data, collected from 2009–2015, 
conservatively estimates that practicing Paida
Lajin helps prevent and provides self-healing in 50% of illnesses. In 2015, we worked with the TAG VHS Diabetes Research Centre in India in strict accordance with standards of Western medicine. The medical experts’ clinical report shows that PaidaLajin can indeed prevent illnesses, improve health, enthusiasm, and energy level; it has good curative effect on Type I and II diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other chronic diseases. It has even better effect in relieving lower back and leg pains.

In August 2011, we conducted post-workshop telephone interviews with the participants of Chinese workshops. We discovered that the effective rates of PaidaLajin in healing diabetes, hypertension, lower back and leg pains were over 86%. For those who stopped medication and practiced PaidaLajin, 93% reported better health than when they were under medication; the 
remaining 7% maintained the same health condition as when they were under medication, which was an improvement in itself.

In December 2015, we conducted end-of-workshop and post-workshop surveys, and found that during 
the workshop, over 90% of the participants 
improved their diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, neck, shoulder, back, waist, and leg pains. Back at home, their health condition was significantly better than before the workshop, whether they continued to practice PaidaLajin or not. Eighty-four percent of those who continued the practice experienced the most obvious improvements. And over 62% of those under medication stopped it, with the approval from their doctors, after the workshop.

PaidaLajin has proven more effective than cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in relieving acute heart attack. It is 80% effective in relieving non-bleeding acute symptoms, such as cold, fever, cramps, headache, motion sickness, menstrual pain, acute gastroenteritis, acute heart attack, and acute sports injuries.

All those who support self-healing through PaidaLajin have one thing in common: they have personally practiced it. 

PaidaLajin can be learned by men and women, young and old, in just a few minutes. It transcends the mystery and complexity of medical practices, yoga, T’ai Chi, Qi Gong, and other 
therapies. PaidaLajin can benefit humanity 
because it is a non-medical therapy, a set of exercises, a way of life, and a way of thinking.

In addition to PaidaLajin, we recommend 
practicing Heart Chan meditation*, another non-
medical therapy based on the same principles. 
At our self-healing workshops, we meditate 
twice a day, once in the morning and once in the 
evening. PaidaLajin and meditation complement 
one another. Both are modes for internal 
cleansing and based on the same TCM principle. 
PaidaLajin is more focused on physical healing, 
and Heart Chan meditation is more focused on 
eliminating worries, fears, and resentment, 
which is the major cause of all illness.

Our body, heart, and soul are an integral whole. PaidaLajin improves our physical health; it naturally enhances the quality of meditation and leads to spiritual ascension.

At a PaidaLajin workshop in California, we invited 
well-seasoned meditation teacher Donald Hwong to teach meditation to the participants. Those with meditation experience found that after PaidaLajin, they were able to meditate more easily and deeply; and those with no previous meditation experience felt that meditation is also 
a wonderful way to cleanse their blocked 
meridians.

Therefore, I purposefully include a link to purchase the book for learning Heart Chan Meditation at the back of the book. Our hope is that readers will combine the practice of PaidaLajin with Heart Chan meditation to enjoy a more wholesome and joyful life experience.

Please Note
The efficacies described in the book are self-
healing effects, not the results of medical 
treatment. Those who practice PaidaLajin benefit
enormously. For those who disbelieve in self-
healing and believe in medicine, please seek 
professional medical service when sick.

PaidaLajin (slapping and stretching exercises) are not medical treatments. They are self-healing exercises available to everyone, just like yoga and T’ai Chi, and are simpler and easier to learn.

Decide whether to apply these self-healing 
methods at your own discretion, and be willing to accept all the consequences arising from them. Self-healing with PaidaLajin is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care providers with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of the information provided herein.
