Book 24 – Health & Wellness Graphic Reference Book (Health and Wellness Study Guides Using Eastern Practices From Martial Arts, Yoga and Qigong) . This book is an encyclopedia of knowledge and is priced accordingly.

Remember the Indiana Jones movies, where he found his father’s diary which had clues to 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 graphics to depict what I believe to be the key components of health and happiness.

Over 400 pages in this study guide, consisting of mostly color graphics of concepts for better health and wellness, from allopathic and Traditional Chinese Medicine, anatomy & physiology, qigong, martial arts and yoga exercises and philosophy on these topics. Additionally, there are graphics depicting theories on the human life cycle, psychology relative to components of fitness and many other subjects pertaining to mental and physical well being. This reference book contains many exercise sets for rehabilitating injuries and illness as well as others to promote longevity and a better quality of life. Additionally, this book contains an appendix of over 30 pages of my personal typed notes on teaching, coaching and eastern philosophy. Review the watermarked edition just below here.

My books, journals and graphics are the summation of over 40 years of my training, education, teaching and public speaking of martial arts, qigong, fitness, wellness, TCM 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.

The majority of my knowledge base is in theories, methods and techniques from almost 40 years of learning, training and teaching. The Qigong (breathing work) is from Chinese Kung Fu and the Korean Dong Han medical Qigong lineage. The core fitness movements are from Kung Fu and its forms in Baguazhang and Ship Pal Gi (Korean Kung Fu and weapons training). Each martial art and its fitness exercises can complement and enhance one another. The more ways that you can move your body, the better it is for your overall health.

I have also gained much knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from many TCM practitioners, martial arts masters, teachers and peers. This includes many techniques and practices of acupressure (reflexology, auricular, Jing Well, etc.), acupuncture, moxibustion as well as preparation of some herbal remedies and extracts for conditioning and injuries. I have been studying for over 20 years with Zen Wellness, learning medical Qigong as well as other Eastern methods of fitness and self awareness. I have been recognized as a “Gold Coin” master instructor having trained and taught others for at least 10000 hours or roughly over 35 years. I have pursued my BS degree in wellness and alternative medicine, which has helped me to expand my understanding of health/wellness into other areas of study in anatomy/physiology, integrative methods, meditation, stress and trauma management, psychology, religion, nutrition and other relative topics.

I write often about topics that affect our health and well-being. Additionally, I teach and offer lecture about qigong, tai chi, baguazhang, and yoga. I also have hundreds of FREE education video classes, lectures and seminars available on my YouTube channel at:

Back Pain Management – Book 22

Most people in the United States will experience back pain at some time in their lives.  Causes of back pain are many, ranging from poor posture, heavy lifting, and lack of exercise among other issues.  Some may find relief through chiropractic or acupuncture therapy.  Depending upon the root cause, most pain goes away within a few days or weeks, only to return at a later date.  Unless the root cause is fixed, most treatments only offer temporary relief.  In many cases, the root cause of back pain is tight hamstring muscles and/or poor posture.  Excessive sitting can tighten these muscles as well as a lack of proper stretching on a regular basis contribute to many back pain issues. How we sit, how we stand and how we move, or more often don’t move – all affect our posture and relative issues with the spine and the nervous system.

Not having back pain, does not necessarily mean your spine is in great shape! If not disease nor illness is a goal, we need to focus on being fit, well & healthy. Good health usually comes at a cost of time, effort, sacrifice and resources, or a combination of the prior. Most people don’t care to make the investment into taking care of themselves until after they are injured. even then, most people with back issues often choose pain medicines or sometimes surgery over exercise or lifestyle changes that can improve their situation. Traumatic injuries are often best treated with emergency surgery and that is really not the topic of this post.

In 2019, 20.4% of adults had chronic pain and 7.4% of adults had chronic pain that frequently limited life or work activities (referred to as high impact chronic pain) in the past 3 months.

Chronic pain and high-impact chronic pain both increased with age and were highest among adults aged 65 and over.

Non-Hispanic white adults (23.6%) were more likely to have chronic pain compared with non-Hispanic black (19.3%), Hispanic (13.0%), and non-Hispanic Asian (6.8%) adults.

My booklet sample below, goes into detail, along with graphics to offer information on how these root problems affect our health and well-being. Additionally, I offer information on how to manage back pain without pharmaceuticals nor surgery when at all possible. Yoga, qigong, tai chi, martial arts, Traditional Chinese Medicine, reflexology/acupressure, deep breathing, meditation and other methods are explained in great detail in order to offer many options depending upon individual circumstances.

Included are many exercises and other methods to develop strength and flexibility which improve posture and relative spine health.  Good health of the entire spinal structure starts with good posture.  Strength in the back, hips and abdomen provide a strong cage that houses the internal organs.  Flexibility in these areas helps to maintain good blood circulation to the organs and lower body.  Lengthening of the spine while exercising reduces stress and tension on the nervous system.  Additionally, there are deep and relaxed breathing exercises included, which can help manage stress and pain. These can be practice while performing the back exercises or as stand-alone methods. I have practiced and taught others all of these methods for over 40 years, and often with much success.

Qigong, tai chi, baguazhang, and yoga are not the only methods that can be used within this formula but have proven the test of time as methods to cultivate harmony of the mind, body and spirit. These exercise practices offer a wide spectrum of physical wellness benefits, stress relief as well as means of self-awareness.  Not all teachers nor students practice these for the same goals.

I am currently offering wellness lectures and classes for group, small group & private instruction in Wekiva, Longwood and Winter Park.
