1 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:03,200 okay so I'm going to talk about a little 2 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:07,410 bit about qigong today and perhaps many 3 00:00:12,860 --> 00:00:11,250 of you are already familiar with jago-ji 4 00:00:16,310 --> 00:00:12,870 has been mentioned quite a bit this 5 00:00:20,859 --> 00:00:16,320 morning already chi gong is a self 6 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:20,869 healing practice that often involves 7 00:00:27,259 --> 00:00:24,210 pleading control and exercises that 8 00:00:29,390 --> 00:00:27,269 always involves on working with Chi and 9 00:00:31,759 --> 00:00:29,400 that's where that the word she go and 10 00:00:33,290 --> 00:00:31,769 growing in so work in Chinese so I'm 11 00:00:35,299 --> 00:00:33,300 going to start by demonstrating and 12 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:35,309 personal meditation practice that I 13 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:38,010 learned in China that I like to do my 14 00:00:43,459 --> 00:00:40,530 favorite it's called dumping buckets and 15 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:43,469 I'll just to give a brief description of 16 00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:45,690 it and it gives you a feel for what what 17 00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:47,910 does meditation practice is alike so you 18 00:00:54,319 --> 00:00:51,600 stand with the loose loose knees and 19 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:54,329 imagine scooping up a bucket of water 20 00:00:58,939 --> 00:00:57,090 and dumping it over your head and you 21 00:01:01,310 --> 00:00:58,949 feel the water in the beginning you can 22 00:01:04,399 --> 00:01:01,320 just feel a drip of water going down the 23 00:01:06,620 --> 00:01:04,409 front of your body and you can use your 24 00:01:10,130 --> 00:01:06,630 finger to touch your skin to help your 25 00:01:12,260 --> 00:01:10,140 imagination feel that Chi and you go all 26 00:01:14,719 --> 00:01:12,270 the way down your body splitting only 27 00:01:16,609 --> 00:01:14,729 legs and then slowly slowly and then 28 00:01:19,249 --> 00:01:16,619 dripping off the front of your toes into 29 00:01:21,289 --> 00:01:19,259 the earthen feeling yourself granted 30 00:01:23,539 --> 00:01:21,299 invidi earth and you do three buckets 31 00:01:26,090 --> 00:01:23,549 the one down the front then you start 32 00:01:29,060 --> 00:01:26,100 again at the top and go down the back of 33 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:29,070 your body third bucket down the sides 34 00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:32,490 and it's is this basically drawing your 35 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:35,040 attention that there's a theory in 36 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:36,570 chinese traditional chinese medicine 37 00:01:41,870 --> 00:01:39,930 code the mind moves achieve that she 38 00:01:44,090 --> 00:01:41,880 moves the blood and blood in this sense 39 00:01:47,389 --> 00:01:44,100 and the way they use it is is how much 40 00:01:50,359 --> 00:01:47,399 work encompasses more than just the 41 00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:50,369 right liquid and as you as you progress 42 00:01:55,130 --> 00:01:52,590 you can instead of just a single drop of 43 00:01:57,499 --> 00:01:55,140 water you can make it a sheet of water 44 00:01:59,209 --> 00:01:57,509 that covers your whole body then as you 45 00:02:01,160 --> 00:01:59,219 progress further you can allow that 46 00:02:04,670 --> 00:02:01,170 water to penetrate deeper into your body 47 00:02:06,290 --> 00:02:04,680 with the one caveat I was given by that 48 00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:06,300 my teacher when you're 49 00:02:09,710 --> 00:02:08,160 going in your head you don't you don't 50 00:02:11,630 --> 00:02:09,720 go deep into your brain you wait until 51 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:11,640 you get to your body to let this cheap 52 00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:14,970 penetrate deeply and this kind of self 53 00:02:22,930 --> 00:02:17,910 healing meditation practice is really 54 00:02:26,540 --> 00:02:22,940 the bulk of Qi Gong but there is also 55 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:26,550 believe that practitioners who after a 56 00:02:31,070 --> 00:02:29,370 period of becoming adept are able to 57 00:02:34,190 --> 00:02:31,080 manipulate cheat outside their own body 58 00:02:38,150 --> 00:02:34,200 to treat patients and this is referred 59 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:38,160 to as external Chico now and again this 60 00:02:43,850 --> 00:02:40,890 is this a situation where you have a 61 00:02:46,310 --> 00:02:43,860 practitioner that is trying to influence 62 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:46,320 the Chi of a patient to promote health 63 00:02:52,460 --> 00:02:49,410 or healing and so my talk today is going 64 00:02:54,050 --> 00:02:52,470 to focus beginning and launch off and in 65 00:03:00,680 --> 00:02:54,060 this direction of looking at external 66 00:03:03,050 --> 00:03:00,690 chi go now G you know maybe prana maybe 67 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:03,060 the Oregon the tick mentioned earlier 68 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:06,450 but there were there's some research 69 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:08,610 done China looking at the mainstream 70 00:03:12,740 --> 00:03:10,890 energetic emissions coming out of 20 71 00:03:16,250 --> 00:03:12,750 masters when they were treating patients 72 00:03:21,170 --> 00:03:16,260 and some of them you know would be what 73 00:03:23,180 --> 00:03:21,180 you expected I was whoops i was i was 74 00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:23,190 surprised to see infrasound in this list 75 00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:25,110 and that's just because I really didn't 76 00:03:28,910 --> 00:03:27,150 know a lot about it for some so perhaps 77 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:28,920 you don't as well so I'll bring you 78 00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:30,450 along the curve that I fall 79 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:34,470 so infrasound is basically sound waves 80 00:03:41,119 --> 00:03:37,650 that are below the limit of human 81 00:03:43,820 --> 00:03:41,129 hearing so 20 cycles per second or 20 82 00:03:46,699 --> 00:03:43,830 Hertz is generally the limit at which 83 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:46,709 humans stop being able to hear sound 84 00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:48,690 waves they're still sound waves but we 85 00:03:56,089 --> 00:03:51,840 just don't hear them and just not a 86 00:04:00,199 --> 00:03:56,099 little bit of a review whoops gotta get 87 00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:00,209 this these molecules of air don't 88 00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:01,920 actually traverse this distance they 89 00:04:05,570 --> 00:04:03,360 just vibrate a little bit affect the 90 00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:05,580 next ones to create these waves but the 91 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:07,680 molecules themselves are not reversing 92 00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:13,290 this distance so the human body produces 93 00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:15,120 infrasound this little guys going to 94 00:04:23,540 --> 00:04:18,959 help me lead a group exercise with the 95 00:04:25,070 --> 00:04:23,550 heart of course you might imagine is one 96 00:04:27,230 --> 00:04:25,080 of the major producers of infrasound in 97 00:04:28,730 --> 00:04:27,240 the body so with the heartbeat it 98 00:04:30,140 --> 00:04:28,740 produces a sound that we can hear but 99 00:04:31,730 --> 00:04:30,150 also as part of that sound there's an 100 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:31,740 infrasonic component that we don't hear 101 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:34,050 now the muscles in our bodies also 102 00:04:38,180 --> 00:04:35,370 produce in for some when they change 103 00:04:41,450 --> 00:04:38,190 length so we follow the example with 104 00:04:43,610 --> 00:04:41,460 this guy making a fist the muscles in 105 00:04:45,469 --> 00:04:43,620 your forearm will make infrasound and 106 00:04:48,860 --> 00:04:45,479 you can sense that by sticking your 107 00:04:51,290 --> 00:04:48,870 thumbs in your ear and slowly making a 108 00:05:00,710 --> 00:04:51,300 fist and it helps to do both so that you 109 00:05:05,850 --> 00:05:03,720 there's a little demonstration of every 110 00:05:09,210 --> 00:05:05,860 sound so you can feel the spot that this 111 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:09,220 is happening in your body animals 112 00:05:12,090 --> 00:05:10,930 commute animals you know they don't have 113 00:05:13,710 --> 00:05:12,100 to stick their thumbs in the ears they 114 00:05:14,910 --> 00:05:13,720 actually hear the sound of me we're 115 00:05:18,770 --> 00:05:14,920 learning more and more that they use it 116 00:05:21,060 --> 00:05:18,780 to communicate l it's been you know I 117 00:05:23,370 --> 00:05:21,070 elephants are I think the most famous 118 00:05:26,370 --> 00:05:23,380 for using it for sounded they got famous 119 00:05:28,590 --> 00:05:26,380 because they using persona to travel 120 00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:28,600 through the ground and others in the 121 00:05:34,050 --> 00:05:31,510 herd kilometers away can sense the 122 00:05:36,890 --> 00:05:34,060 infrasound through their feet and the 123 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:36,900 hertz apparently communicate this way 124 00:05:44,540 --> 00:05:39,970 Tigers also in their vocalizations 125 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:44,550 recently it's been come to light that 126 00:05:49,530 --> 00:05:47,530 they will to basically speak to each 127 00:05:51,660 --> 00:05:49,540 other with impress on salve airy 128 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:51,670 important component of the way the 129 00:05:57,300 --> 00:05:54,970 Tigers communicate and and the the long 130 00:06:00,300 --> 00:05:57,310 wavelength of infrasound allows it to 131 00:06:02,940 --> 00:06:00,310 penetrate solid of course with the the 132 00:06:05,220 --> 00:06:02,950 elephant elephant example you can you 133 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:05,230 can see that and again with the Tigers 134 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:07,570 the dense forests make it difficult for 135 00:06:12,210 --> 00:06:09,730 audible sound to penetrate very deeply 136 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:12,220 but the long wavelengths of infrasound 137 00:06:16,140 --> 00:06:13,690 makes it very effective for 138 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:16,150 communicating through dense forest and I 139 00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:19,930 point this out because I'm going to come 140 00:06:23,970 --> 00:06:21,910 back to the penetrative aspect of 141 00:06:27,150 --> 00:06:23,980 infrasound later in the talk when we 142 00:06:30,180 --> 00:06:27,160 when we move into clinical the potential 143 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:30,190 for clinical application so humans dhoom 144 00:06:35,490 --> 00:06:33,010 sense and force own native even though 145 00:06:37,470 --> 00:06:35,500 we can't hear it in one of the most 146 00:06:41,820 --> 00:06:37,480 profound reactions to high intensity in 147 00:06:45,260 --> 00:06:41,830 person is nausea and this leads to the 148 00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:45,270 very fun urban myth of the brown note 149 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:47,710 which I don't know if anybody heard of 150 00:06:51,590 --> 00:06:50,010 it it's there's been some fun TV 151 00:06:54,890 --> 00:06:51,600 adaptations of this 152 00:06:57,620 --> 00:06:54,900 most notably on South Park where they 153 00:07:02,290 --> 00:06:57,630 played the brown note to make everybody 154 00:07:08,410 --> 00:07:06,560 now another fun perhaps myth I don't 155 00:07:11,780 --> 00:07:08,420 know a victim yet coventry university 156 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:11,790 has talked about that the femur there's 157 00:07:15,890 --> 00:07:14,130 a feeling of our fear that sense within 158 00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:15,900 persona and because we don't perceive 159 00:07:19,310 --> 00:07:18,000 anything coming to us it gives us vague 160 00:07:20,750 --> 00:07:19,320 feeling that something weird or 161 00:07:23,810 --> 00:07:20,760 something perhaps supernatural is 162 00:07:25,910 --> 00:07:23,820 happening and perhaps coupled with the 163 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:25,920 fact that the resonant frequency of the 164 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:27,930 eyeball is in the range of infrasound if 165 00:07:36,530 --> 00:07:30,530 you combine those two it might create 166 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:36,540 what is seeing ghosts so just to this is 167 00:07:39,770 --> 00:07:38,010 a little bit more background and really 168 00:07:41,900 --> 00:07:39,780 getting way out of the realm where I 169 00:07:44,270 --> 00:07:41,910 have any expertise that can speak with 170 00:07:46,610 --> 00:07:44,280 any authority whatsoever but just for 171 00:07:48,530 --> 00:07:46,620 fun I wanted to lie about the connects 172 00:07:51,890 --> 00:07:48,540 between infrasound in crop circles which 173 00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:51,900 I learned about just to come to this 174 00:07:56,420 --> 00:07:54,240 conference and share with you the 175 00:08:00,200 --> 00:07:56,430 Italian starts with the nausea that is 176 00:08:02,750 --> 00:08:00,210 apparently experienced by humans 177 00:08:04,310 --> 00:08:02,760 visiting crop circles and then there's a 178 00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:04,320 story emerging that if you look at this 179 00:08:09,830 --> 00:08:07,710 stocks of the of the wheat as they're 180 00:08:12,740 --> 00:08:09,840 bent over they don't look like they've 181 00:08:14,810 --> 00:08:12,750 been physically bent as they would be if 182 00:08:16,310 --> 00:08:14,820 it was a bunch of teenagers with the 183 00:08:20,450 --> 00:08:16,320 two-by-four just smashing down the 184 00:08:22,250 --> 00:08:20,460 stocks but there are small holes right 185 00:08:26,150 --> 00:08:22,260 at the nodes where it looks like water 186 00:08:27,740 --> 00:08:26,160 has escaped it's been superheated so 187 00:08:30,980 --> 00:08:27,750 they the story goes that they're 188 00:08:32,779 --> 00:08:30,990 basically melted or liquefied because of 189 00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:32,789 a combination of infrasound pressure and 190 00:08:36,980 --> 00:08:34,169 then the stocks fall over in this 191 00:08:38,779 --> 00:08:36,990 intricate patterns so that's just for 192 00:08:40,700 --> 00:08:38,789 fun perhaps a little more sinister 193 00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:40,710 definitely more grounded in science and 194 00:08:45,259 --> 00:08:43,649 more relevant to today's 195 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:45,269 discussion is the development of 196 00:08:51,949 --> 00:08:50,490 infrasound us as weaponry and I'm going 197 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:51,959 to ask if anybody can help me pronounce 198 00:09:00,819 --> 00:08:57,569 this guy's name Gavin bro so he and his 199 00:09:03,499 --> 00:09:00,829 team were developing weapons and 200 00:09:06,499 --> 00:09:03,509 apparently apparently the team you know 201 00:09:08,569 --> 00:09:06,509 with new nearly fatal experiences in the 202 00:09:12,019 --> 00:09:08,579 inner and developing these things this 203 00:09:14,540 --> 00:09:12,029 has been in 1957 and again I wanted to 204 00:09:15,859 --> 00:09:14,550 point out that the the key and in this 205 00:09:18,139 --> 00:09:15,869 case with the
