Still Looking for Gifts for Others?

Maybe consider giving a gift of knowledge.

Remember the Indiana Jones films, when Indiana discovers his father’s diary containing clues to the Holy Grail? The book itself was knowledge. Wisdom came from applying that knowledge through experience. Without knowledge and lived practice, wisdom is difficult to cultivate.

For over 40 years, I have been on my own search for a “Holy Grail” of health, wellness, fitness, and self-awareness. Along that journey, I have created a series of books and study guides that visually and conceptually map what I believe to be the essential components of a healthy, balanced, and meaningful life.

My books are comprehensive, deeply researched, and feature original, full-color illustrations designed to make complex ideas clear and accessible. Each volume reflects decades of firsthand learning, practice, teaching, and illustration across disciplines including holistic health, fitness, psychology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, qigong, martial arts, and yoga philosophy. These are not mass-market publications. They are intentionally crafted for thoughtful readers, practitioners, and lifelong learners who value depth, clarity, and authenticity.

To date, I have published 39 books and study guides on Amazon. Some are primarily visual references that distill complex systems into clear graphic formats. Others explore theories of human development, psychology, movement, breathwork, rehabilitation, longevity, and overall quality of life. Many include practical exercise sets designed to support recovery, resilience, and long-term well-being.

These works represent the summation of more than four decades of training, education, teaching, and public speaking. Much of the qigong and breathing work draws from Chinese Kung Fu and Korean Dong Han medical qigong lineages, alongside extensive study with Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners and martial arts masters. My background also includes acupressure, acupuncture principles, moxibustion, herbal preparation, and medical qigong, as well as formal academic training culminating in a Bachelor of Science degree in Holistic Health.

Similar in concept to Quick Study or PermaCharts, these guides are designed to “cut to the chase,” minimizing the time spent searching through dense textbooks while preserving the essential root knowledge of each subject. This format serves both beginners seeking a solid foundation and experienced practitioners looking for concise, high-quality reference materials.

If you are looking for a meaningful gift, one that supports health, awareness, and lifelong learning, these books are intended to be resources that grow with the reader over time.

“Prolonged Sitting is the New Smoking”

I spoke this week for a few minutes at The Mayflower at Winter Park, along with The Winter Park Lifelong Learning Foundation, regarding my upcoming course in March on:

“Prolonged Sitting is the New Smoking”

Three sessions that build upon the first, starting on March 5th, 12th, 19th (10:30-11:45am)

Instructor – Jim Moltzan, BS degree in holistic health

Location – WP Library near the Winter Park Village on 17-92.

At each session, I will discuss the physical, mental, and spiritual (self-awareness) aspects of remaining in a seated position for extended periods. Each session will also include about a 1/2-hour of instruction in qigong, tai chi, or other methods that can help to get the body moving, engage one’s mind, and offer for some, meaning and purpose to get out of that chair on a daily basis.

__________

A $35.00 registration is required to attend all three sessions, which goes toward supporting college scholarships through the Lifelong Learning Foundation: https://winterparklifelong.org/register-courses

I teach and offer lectures about holistic health, physical fitness, stress management, human behavior, meditation, phytotherapy (herbs), music for healing, self-massage (acupressure), Daoyin (yoga), qigong, tai chi, and baguazhang.

Please contact me if you, your business, organization, or group, might be interested in hosting me to speak on a wide spectrum of topics relative to better health, fitness, and well-being.

Holistic Health Illustrated Study Booklets

Remember the Indiana Jones movies, where Indy (Harrison Ford) found his father’s diary, which had very important sketches, notes, and other clues to aid his search for the Holy Grail? Well, I have been searching for over 40 years for the “Holy Grail” of health, wellness, fitness and self-awareness. I have been producing graphic posters and graphic study booklets to depict what I believe to be the key components of better health, fitness, well-being and relative happiness. My publications consist mostly of pages showing color graphics of concepts for better health and wellness. I draw my illustrations from my knowledge of allopathic and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), qigong, martial arts, yoga and philosophy on these topics. There are depictions of theories on the human life cycle, psychology relative to components of fitness and many other subjects pertaining to mental and physical well-being. Most of my booklets contain many exercise sets for rehabilitating injuries and illness, as well as others to promote longevity and a better quality of life.

These booklets are the summation of over 40 years of my training, education, teaching and public speaking of holistic health, qigong, fitness, wellness, TCM, martial arts and other facets of self-improvement. Similar to popular study guides such as Quick Study or PermaCharts, these graphic and text guides cut to the chase in order to minimize precious time spent muddling through extensive textbooks seeking understanding of specific concepts. Each guide is packed with the root knowledge regarding specific topics. This format is highly beneficial for the novice as well as experts in the fields of health, wellness and self-improvement.

Whole Health Wisdom: Navigating Holistic Wellness (my new book)

What we think, what we eat and how we move our bodies are the basic components that determine our health and happiness. We all know this, but how do we go about making our lives what we want them to be? Knowledge. Knowledge indeed gives us power to succeed in any endeavor. Knowledge unused is wasted.

I just recently finished up my 26th book in my series on mind, body and self-awareness, titled Whole Health Wisdom: Navigating Holistic Wellness. I formatted this book mostly as an outline, in order to best present the multitude of topics that encompass holistic health and wellness. Each topic could be a separate book unto itself. It is now available for purchase on Amazon https://a.co/d/gcRDJbg with a paperback and Kindle format. However the Kindle version does not look as well formatted as the paperback version. I have at least a few more book topics in my pipeline, as I have tried to publish about one per year more recently.

Book 26 draws upon my over 40 years of learning, practicing and teaching, with the goal of helping others to unlock the key components of holistic health by discovering a life of balance, vitality, and well-being. In this comprehensive outline, you’ll embark on a transformative journey that explores the profound connections between mind, body, and spirit. From ancient healing traditions to modern wellness practices, gain insights into nutrition, healthcare modalities, mindfulness, and the power of belief systems. This outline can serve as a “quick” study guide, inspiring further research, and discussion. Teachers and students alike who are seeking to embrace holistic living as a path to achieving lasting health, happiness, longevity, fulfillment, meaning and a sense of purpose can benefit from this outline.

I included many of my detailed color graphics towards the back-half, that I feel connect strongly to the topics covered in my outline. Specifically, the graphics offer insights and exercises relative to self-regulation of the nervous system, through deliberate management of thoughts, emotions and relative physiological responses by way of respiration and physical body postures. Included are also detailed illustrations of many qigong exercises such as the 8 Pieces of Brocade, Opening & filling of the 8 Vessels (Ship Pal Gye), bottle and weight exercises as well as the Yang 24 tai chi set along with history and physiology. Just below is watermarked copy of new book for those who care to review its contents.
