Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your holidays, but make good choices!

As most of the country continues to struggle with the current situation, please keep in mind that some of the measures many people are taking to avoid becoming infected, are actually putting them more at risk of becoming ill.

Get out of the house, call family/friends, eat healthier foods, stay active and avoid stress. Don’t wait to get sick or rely on a vaccine to keep you healthy – get proactive now.

Be well, be wise and stay healthy!

Qigong for the Prevention, Treatment, and Rehabilitation of COVID-19 Infection in Older Adults

I have been practicing qigong since I was 16 years old; teaching it since I was 19. I have 1st hand experience that it works on so many levels for health and wellness. Finally, there is some legitimate research showing that these types of exercises truly offer extraordinary benefits and results.

Here is some documentation of how qigong can help the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of COVID-19 infection in older adults, from the US National Library of Medicine. Click on the image below to read the full article.

Here is one of the sets of exercises that the article references to practice. I have been teaching this set for over 20 years to people of all ages with all kinds of health issues.

And here are other qigong sets that have been around for hundreds of years that have been known to increase better health and wellness.

By gaining control of the physical anatomy, a relationship with the physical body is developed. When aligning the limbs and joints to stretch and strengthen them, while also maintaining deep and deliberate breathing rhythms, an individual can cultivate a more harmonious link between the mind, body and spirit (self awareness). Practice of exercises that truly engage the mind and body, (very much like yoga) to improve health & wellness. The mind directs the body, while the body protects the mind.

Discipline the mind in order to discipline the body!

Learn how this all works from private, small or group instruction.

Be well!

Discipline the Mind to Discipline the Body

Self-discipline Can be Developed.

Anything of value is always going to require some amount of sacrifice of time, effort and resources.

For most people, it is very difficult to train or discipline their mind and consequently, their body. People often say or do things they regret only to realize later that they lacked the self control and self awareness to make good decisions to begin with.

Discipline the mind in order to discipline the body!

Ship Pal Gye, Taoist yoga or the “Filling the 8 Vessels” are methods to increase the capacity of your nervous system. By holding the body in specific alignments, the nervous system is strengthened to endure more pain, stress and discomfort. Think of tempering steel in fire to strengthen the metal. Building self-discipline of the mind and body simultaneously!

When engaging the muscles, tendons, bones and fascia, the 12 regular energy meridians are engaged plus the 8 extraordinary meridians are opened and filled as reservoirs to adjust the ebb and flow of energy throughout the body and thereby strengthening the immune system among other bodily functions.

Exercise methods like these have been known for centuries, but are considered new or “alternative” to modern western culture.

Watch the video to get a sample of what this type of instruction entails. Often times people will ask me, “where did you learn this?” Well…almost 40 years ago I began studying Korean kung fu, then Traditional Chinese Medicine, medical qigong, fitness, wellness and anatomy. It didn’t happen overnight or from a weekend seminar. It took me decades of learning, studying and teaching from and with high level masters and teachers. And I’m not done learning yet, are you?
