Hey People,
Just wanted to know if any of you had ever heard of this particular set of chi gung and what your thoughts are on it.

Well its to late to perform this chi gung set. You must do this during the first full moon of spring.

Do you mean the "Hidden Forest" style of qigong? I´ve heard about this style, based on martial zhan zhuang. Appearently, if you practice this in forty years, you can make flowers blossom, just with looking on them. - so I´ve heard. This style, I can truly recommend if you sell flowers.

Yes and no! Yes you can call it the Hidden forest style, no, it does not take forty years to master this. I just picked a batch of tulips in the back yard. I made a tidy profit by the way.

The spring forest set I was talking about is different. Type spring forest into google and pick the first choice; I believe and that will describe it to you.

Since "Shaolin" apparently translates as "Young Forest" can this set you are asking about be a variation of a Shaolin Temple qigong set? I have seen several demonstrated over the years that were meant either for developing hard or soft qigong skills.

It was made from different sets of chi gung, this is the website the creator of it uses to hawk it for a hefty price. http://www.springforestqigong.com/

I'm not sure about Chinese characters but my understanding of the characters from the Shaolin name translates more like Little or Small Forest.
I have no idea what hidden forest chi gung is but its definitely not what I was referring to, Spring Forest can be done at any time pretty much. Its named after the guy who created it: Chunyi Lin.

I have been told by Chinese Shaolin instructors locally that the name is translated into English variously as "Little" or as "Small" or as "Spring" all with the idea of a vigorous, sprouting, early-in-the-year method of practise. Something vital and still growing ...

Strictly-speaking, I have no idea which is more accurate in English. I don't know much about any aspect of Shaolin training and translation of any language is a tricky process and open to interpretation and argument.

Actually, the "Shao" in Shaolin means "young."

Shaolin literally means "young forest."

Tim;
Thanks for clarifying; the local Chinese shaolin experts are much better at doing their arts than explaining things in English.

Now that we have the name all cleared up. It still does not explain why I have a continuing tulip crop showing up in my back yard.

Hi, Iron B. : Maybe you will find the answer if you take this test?

Glad to see someone else has a sense of humor we all have a bad tendency to take all this stuff far to seriously.
