in Shanghai in 1929, he learned Qigong, acupuncture and herbs from his family and
other great Chinese masters. Respected in China as a high-level Qigong and Tai
Chi Chuan practitioner, teacher, doctor and cancer specialist, he is on the Board of
Directors of both the National Chinese and International Qigong Science Research
Commissions, and Professor at both Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese
Medicine and the International Qigong University in China. He has been teaching
Taiji, Qigong and Qi Healing practices in the United States since the early 1980’s.
He founded the Chinese Healing Arts Center in Kingston, NY in 1986, and currently teaches advanced healing practices at the branch in Danbury, CT. Author of
many books in Chinese, his publications in English include Swimming Dragon
(1989), Qi Gong Therapy (1994), and (2010) Qi Gong Therapy, Volume 2.
Dr. De Ying Huang is also from Shanghai. From childhood she learned about herbs and how to
use them from her father. Dr. Huang studied Traditional Chinese Medicine at the
First Medical University in Shanghai, learned acupuncture and also received a degree in Western Medicine from the Chinese Medical University. While working at
the Shanghai Medical Instrument Company, she helped develop electroacupuncture, now a commonly used technique. She has also served as the director of
a research group dedicated to the development of laser acupuncture. She is on the
Board of Trustees for the Shanghai Meridians Research Institute, a consultant in
Taiji and Qi Gong for the Shanghai Qi Gong Healing Association and Tonyi University, and a member of the prestigious Shanghai Qi Gong Research Institute.
Melanie Shih, L.Ac., O.M.D., the sixth generation in her family’s lineage of Traditional Chinese
Medicine practitioners, learned Qi healing, T.C.M., Tai Chi, nutrition and herbs
from her parents. In addition, she studied meridian theory at the Shanghai
Research Institute, did her hospital internship at Hebei Gaocheng Medical School,
and earned her medical degree at the Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese
Medicine. Her dissertation on Qi Gong and Traditional Chinese Medicine earned
her the award of "Best Papers" from the First International Conference and
Exhibition on Ethnic Medicine in Beijing in 1997. Working alongside her parents
at the Chinese Healing Arts Center, Dr. Melanie Shih learned to care about and be
kind to all people. She treats patients at the Kingston, NY and Salisbury, CT branches of the Chinese
Healing Arts Center, and is active in many professional organizations.
Master Wendy Shih began learning T’ai Chi and Qigong at the age of five to correct a very rare
bone marrow condition. She progressed so well that at the age of twelve, she was
accepted as a student of Ma Yu Liang, the eighty-year-old Grand Master of Wu
style T’ai Chi. She also studied with legendary Grand Masters Pan Ch’un, Lu Zi
Jian, and Xiu Wang Zian. In addition to attending public school, she received a
classical Chinese education, tutored in painting and calligraphy by the famous
Master Sung Sun Wea, then in his nineties. At the age of eighteen, Wendy was
named First Prize Champion at the Chinese National Wu Style competition; a year
later, at a televised national competition, she was awarded the title of Young Master by the old Wu Tang Masters. Wendy Shih graduated from the Shanghai College of Traditional
Medicine in 1987 as an acupuncturist and herbalist, and is also licensed as a certified laser acupuncturist. In 1988, she and her mother joined her father and sister in the United States. Wendy often
teaches Tai Chi, Qigong and classes in the healing use of food at the Danbury branch of CHAC.

CHINESE CULTURE:
Year of the Snake
祝
你
新
年
快
乐
As you well know, the Western New Year has already come
and gone, but the Chinese New
Year has yet to begin! According to Chinese tradition, the
New Year will begin on February 10, 2013 and end on January 30, 2014.
Chinese New Year is also
known as “Spring Festival”
since the spring season in the
Chinese calendar starts with
lichun, the first solar term in a
Chinese calendar year. It marks
the end of the winter season,
analogous with the western
Carnival.
The Chinese zodiac is divided into a 12-part cycle corresponding to years, rather than
months as in the Western zodiac. The 2013 calendar year
falls within the Chinese zodiac
as the year of the snake. The
Snake is the sixth sign of the
Chinese Zodiac, which consists
of 12 Animal Signs. It is said to
be the most enigmatic, intuitive,
introspective, refined and collected of the Animals Signs.
“Ancient Chinese wisdom says
a snake in the house is a good
omen because it means that
your family will not starve.”
When combined with its
earthly element of water, 2013
becomes the year of the water
snake which implies potential
themes of deception and delusion. Zodiac forecasts warn
that decisions regarding money
should be considered thoroughly and alertly, especially
when it comes to building new
partnerships or spending. This
2013 year of the Snake is also
contains elements for steady
progress and attention to detail.
Focus and discipline are said to
be necessary to achieve what
you set out to create.
Many people all over the
world are generally interested
in the characteristics of people
born within each year of the
zodiac. If you were born in
1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977,
1989, or 2001, you are a Snake
baby! It is said that people born
in the year of the snake are
often keen, cunning, intelligent,
proud, passionate, mysterious,
vain, charming, elegant and
wise. Snakes have tendencies
towards becoming excellent
mediators, leaders and business
people.
The snake belongs in the
second of four animal trines
within the Chinese Zodiac,
along with the Ox and the
Rooster. These three personalities are said to approach life
with an attitude of endurance,
application, and slow accumulation of energy. All three of
these signs are fixed and rigid
in opinions and views, however
they are also geniuses in the art
of meticulous planning. They
are hardworking, discreet,
modest, industrious, charitable,
loyal, punctual, philosophical,
patient and good-hearted individuals with high moral standards. They can also be selfrighteous, vain, critical, judgmental, myopic, narrowminded and petty.
While the experiences of a
new year do not affect everyone the same, the energy we set
forth into the world does become our reality. So, even if
you’re not born in the year of
the Snake, you will inevitably
be affected by the energies of
it. Therefore, keep in mind
your intentions, remain focused
and aligned with your resolutions, and of course, have a
very Happy New Year!

In Memoriam: Cassia Berman
April 5, 1949 to March 9, 2012
On Qi Healer’s Day
2012, our customary gathering to share our experiences
of Qi Healing and celebrate
Grandmaster Shih’s birthday, Grandmaster Shih honored Cassia Berman with 3
minutes of quiet meditation
in and for respect for Cassia’s passing.
Afterward, Grandmaster
Shih stepped forward and
said that Cassia had worked
many years for Chinese
Healing Arts Center and
how important her work was
with the center and the
newsletter. Cassia did many
good things for people here and in Woodstock. Grandmaster Shih was in China at the time, but members of
his family attended the memorial service.
Cassia will be remembered by all of us.…
Loretta was a good friend of Cassia Berman and
Cassia often did Qi Healing on Loretta…. The last time
was in March, the month that Cassia died. Loretta let us
know that Cassia was always helping friends, relatives,
and strangers and Loretta wanted to share with us that
this was probably the last healing performed by Cassia.
She also remembered that Cassia often attended library
meetings. She was always at this meeting. She tried to
improve the energy of the group in this room and was
successful. So much so, that they invited her to be on
the board and she kept on attending meetings in this
new role. Loretta noted that Qi Healing brings good to
meetings and people.

may find that your special functions awaken and develop.
Cherie Barnier told the story of a Tai Chi Student, a
civil engineer, who was in the early stages of Alzheimer’s and was upset that he was “losing it.” She had
him do a repetitive Qi Gong for two hours daily. She,
he, and the doctors are amazed that it’s helping him both
physically and mentally.
Suzanne is the director of nursing (including nurses
and nurses’ aides) caring for senior people in the hospital. She noted that ages of 10-15 people under their care
were in their 100s. (In fact, two of the over 90 year old
patients got married while they were in the hospital!)
The seniors can be challenging to deal with because it
seems that the older they get, the more opinionated they
get. We chuckled at that. She also said that she didn’t
want to spook them with Qi words.
She told us of an experience with lemon and water
which was quite illustrative of the Power of Qi. She reminded us of the information that has been released
about words, thoughts, and intentions and how they
manifest in water. Suzanne has made this information
available to her staff and has requested them to be aware
of this dynamic when dealing with their patients, their
relatives, and other staff. Water with lemon is given to
the patients and all of the conversations with the patients
are done with kindness and a good heart. This is done to
try to minimize the amount of negativity that may transpire in the transactions between senior patients and the
hospital staff. She’s noticed that people are happier and
that the need for pain medicine has decreased since this
approach has been in effect. In fact, her CEO has put a
special source of water in the cafeteria in recognition of
the ongoing accomplishment.
Bryan Tolan related that he has worked with children
still in the womb, two of which were born prematurely.
He was very pleasantly amazed when he was in the presence of both children (at separate times) and they recognized him by his voice. Both are developing well and he
feels as if his Qi healing had played a very important
part in the prenatal and continuing development.
Matt Oller is from Texas and will be living in Connecticut. He described his life, somewhat, as a wanderer
- like driving 400 miles to Albuquerque but doing it as a
2200 mile round-about trip. He described that he likes to
fish and, often, he doesn’t use a hook…. He has become
quite peaceful in nature and he mentioned that people
need to be listened to. Revisiting Alzheimer’s, Matt let
us know that he had an experience with an Alzheimer’s
patient. Matt asked him if it bothers him to forget about
things. The man replied, “It bothers me about those
things I can’t forget.”

Judy Parenti mentioned that Cassia had related an experience about her Special Function and Qi Healing
during a previous Qi Healer Day gathering that helped
Judy become more comfortable with her own Special
Function.
