igong Einstein wrote, “imagination is more important than knowledge,” and those words were never more true than they are today. Ancient mind/body health technologies may offer much more than health. They may offer possibilities to recreate a new world with more abundance and hope for all of humanity. According to modern medical research between 70 and 85% of all illness leading people to doctors is caused by stress (Kaiser Permenente twenty year study). The United States annual health care costs exceed one-trillion dollars each year. This means that effective stress management techniques, if provided to people en masse through education, business, healthcare, etc. in...

The term 'Qi' does not have a truly accurate English translation. The closest we can get is to describe Qi as life force or energy. In Chinese culture, Qi is seen as the invisible energetic force that underlies all form in the material world. There is Qi that is operating on the levels of mind, body, and spirit. Most people can not see this energetic force, but some who have highly trained faculties are able to see the flow of Qi in the body and in the world in general. Chinese doctors and acupuncturists can often see where Qi is stuck--where it isn't flowing well in the body. This is a powerful skill, as acupuncture theory suggest that our health is entirely dependent on the flow of this invisible...

The importance of all businesses in the different markets is based on diverse factors, including the work force. Developing a successful stress management plan in the workplace is a must to any small, medium or large company before stress becomes a problem, affecting employees' personal relations and productivity. If the search for stress relief in our every day life is necessary, a stress-free work environment is mandatory before the business becomes itself the cause of stress to its owner. In times of China's Mao Tse Tung (Mao Zedong), the Chinese Communist party implemented a stress management-like method that common citizens around the world still follow, many decades later. The practice of Tai...

The Bagua is a most fair and practical way of applying the philosophical principles of the I Ching or what is also referred to as "The Book of Changes" to Feng Shui. It is more than well and accepted that shape itself has an effect, which is noticeable as well as well documented, on the flow of energy and balance. It can be best said and described that Bagua itself, used like a map, can be applied to your plot or land, your house, your rooms and even down to the detail of the arrangement of your furniture. Indeed , for many centuries , if not millennia , the Chinese have consulted the I Ching , or "Book of Changes" to give insight, as well as hope and support into situations , places, people and...

"Simple Chinese Medicine: A Beginner's Guide To Natural Healing & Well-Being" by Dr. Aihan Kuhn is a very good introductory text on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which also provides some very good information regarding healthy living. After reading Dr. Kuhn's biography, one recognizes her credentials for writing such a book, and after reading the book, one recognizes her ability to explain the concepts of TCM in an understandable way. The book contains seven chapters. The first chapter is a very good overview of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Kuhn explains what TCM is, some of the differences between TCM and Western Medicine, some history of TCM, and then a bit on the theory, sources...

Though maybe not the quickest strike, the elbow strike is an extremely powerful and resourceful technique. It is in almost every striking martial art, including kung fu, karate, muay thai, and other martial arts used in MMA. The elbow strike can be used as a strike, but by slightly changing its angle it can become a block at the same time. Every martial artist should have this technique in their arsenal. Correct Execution and Technique There are a few different kinds of elbow strikes. For the first one, the horizontal elbow strike, lift your elbow to the side, equal with you shoulder. Keep your arm drawn in towards your chest, the hook of it facing the target. Now turn your body towards the target...

Acupuncture forms part of traditional Chinese medicine. Included are Chinese herbalism, tai chi and chi kung. It is believed that traditional Chinese medicine originated around 2500BC and is one of the oldest forms of treatment. Acupuncture did not really become well known in Western countries until the 1950s, except for the few Chinese practitioners treating Chinese patients in those countries such as Britain. Today, even some orthodox physicians are trained in acupuncture and are incorporating it with western medicine and achieving great results. Acupuncture is centered on Tao philosophy, like the other forms of Chinese medicine. It is based on the philosophy that a vital energy (force) flows...

What is the definition of Qi (pronounced "chee") energy and how do I cultivate it? Qi (also spelled "chi") is known as 'ki' in Japan, 'prana' in India, 'ka' in ancient Egypt, and 'pneuma' by the ancient Greeks. This vital energy is believed to be inherent in all things. It is believed that when such energy is interrupted, our mind, body, and spirit will not be in order. For thousands of years in Eastern philosophy, art and medicine, the concept of "Qi" has been a central and integral element. The Chinese believe that energy emanates from three realms being Heaven, Earth, and Human. Heaven's Qi comes from the Sun, Moon, Planets, Stars, and the Universe. Earth Qi comes from gravity, and invisible...

Nowadays we're seeing so many different kinds of new exercise ideas that it's just too hard to keep up with them. Exercise and fitness experts keep coming up with new ways to do exercise to meet the ever-expanding demands of those who would like to exercise the least but gain the most benefits. Well, who doesn't like that idea anyway, right? Exercises that involve equipment such as pilates, weight-training, exercise rubber band - you name it and they've got it - they come and go in trend. Nevertheless, they are always around. It's just that they're taking turns in terms of importance or popularity, very much like PR (Page Rank) that internet marketers and webmasters are so concerned about. Free form...

Chi (or Ki) is the life force that permeates the world and runs through your body. It is the source of energy, balance and power. The practice of strengthening the "flow" of chi has been cultivated for hundreds of years. The benefits of increased Chi flow include: - Increased energy and power. - Better focus and clarity of mind. - Strengthened immune system. - Improved circulation of the blood and oxygen throughout the body. You don't have to be a martial artist or yoga master to appreciate the benefits of Chi. Boosting Chi translates well to working out and bodybuilding. Improving the flow of Chi will result to the following benefits in the gym: - Better pre-workout visualization. - Increased...

The majority of Westerners are scripted and indoctrinated to believe the world owes them the best. While this is a universal law, there is a flaw in the Western equation. The majority of westerners, also, believe the best is owed to them without a long-term investment of time, commitment and perseverance. Easterners on the other hand believe all things are possible and they are committed, determined and persevere as diligently at the beginning of a task as they are along the way. Eastern cultures understand the profound connection between mind, body, spirit and the Laws of the Universe. Westerners on the other hand rely primarily on intellect coupled with a strong mind-set of entitlement. You...

I suggest you read these seven tips carefully and thoroughly, referring to them again and again until you know them by memory and feel you have completely mastered them. 1. Proper use of the breath for singing will help you be able to hit the high notes with confidence and also help you to feel more confident. The tail bone is very slightly tucked under the waist and the rib cage is extended and slightly lifted to allow free and easy breathing, filling up the lungs with air from the bottom of the lungs first. 2. Warming up the body as well as the voice before you perform is a powerful way to prepare for performance. By merging the traditional performing arts with energy work borrowed from Chi Gong...

Qi is a mysterious and elusive concept to people in the Western world. Loosely translated as life force or energy, the concept of Qi has been a backbone of many Asian cultures including China and Japan. It is only within the past 30 years that the idea of Qi has caught on in our Western world, which is largely due to the rise in popularity of such Eastern practices as acupuncture, tai chi, qi gong, and meditation. The reason that so many Westerners are resistant to accepting the concept of Qi is that it eludes and scientific attempts to define, label, or categorize what it is, how it operates, and how it affects life in material reality. In this sense, there are no facts about Qi that can be...

I just finished reading "7 Minutes of Magic" by Lee Holden a few days ago and it has prompted me to do a couple of things. That is a mark of a very good book, it prompts you to take action. First, I have tried the routines Holden outlines in this book, and I do agree with another review of this book that it does take longer than 7 minutes to do the routines when you are first learning them. However, that is okay, I am used to spending longer than 7 minutes each morning. I really like the routines, and I feel that by themselves for most people they will be very beneficial. However, for me, I am incorporating Holden's flows from this book with the morning exercises I already do that are based on...

Chanting, or the yoga of sound as it is known, has been used for a zillion years as a means to connect with the divine. If you look for its meaning in one of those spiritually tuned books, you will find that chanting is the "harmonious vocalization of key words, names and phrases that are used in ritual to attune oneself, raise energy and become centered." Chanting is a means of preserving health and well-being. Even medical science has accepted this. Research shows that the use of sound can stabilize heart rate, reduce blood pressure, improve circulation, produce endorphins and aid the process of metabolism. Scientists too have accepted the health benefits of meditation, proof of which was seen as...

Jin Yong would be among the hottest names for normal Chinese people since his novels are widely spread in the Chinese world. It seems all his novels had been shot as TV series or movies.

There are two paths to take in the martial arts. The directions of which I speak are sport, and art. One of these methods leads to decay, the other leads to enlightenment. If one studies the martial arts solely as a sport, he engages in contest, and that actually defines the difference between sport and art. If one practices the martial arts as art, he is attempting to conquer the part of him which resists and fights. Subdue the self, or subdue another, it is easy to see the difference. If one is attempting to subdue another, he is holding the world responsible for his problems, fighting the world, not taking his own responsibility. Wether the accumulation of wealth, or just trying to beat somebody...

Some people are simple wired from birth to be more "psychic" than others. And some sense this awareness after having a near death experience. But what about the rest of us-can we increase our ability to receive spiritual guidance through clear seeing, hearing, feeling and knowing? Scientific evidence points to an answer of yes-we can increase our openness from wherever we are on our life path. How can we encourage this development? Many writers tell us that the way of opening is through the open-heart. So what can we do to stay in the openhearted space-many have found the way by using yoga, tai chi, chi gong or other slow meditative movement, meditation practice, or other right-brain practices.

Posture - Why Should I Care?

5 stars of 5, 621 votes

Good posture makes everybody look 150 percent better. You look thinner - taller - and your clothes hang better. It is probably the most consistent connective thread running through every man and woman of style. There is a certain magnetism, self-confidence, and to-the-manor-born charisma about a strong, graceful carriage. It is a body language that works. But there is much more to good posture than your mother might have told you. It is during a state of ideal posture that the muscles will work most efficiently. Poor posture not only takes away from aesthetics, it compromises how we were designed to function, eventually leading to pain and/or injury. Old, unconscious habits of misalignment...

For Yoga teachers, who work as independent contractors, this economy is a test of creativity. Although there may be class cutbacks, at your local health club, a local chiropractic clinic may be searching for a Yoga instructor to work "in house." Alexander Graham Bell stated, "When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." We wait for things to happen, and when they do not fall into place, we dwell on the negative outcome. We practice preventative health methods and teach others to be pro-active toward health, but we neglect being creative about networking. Some of us are entirely content to...

Stress Health Solutions - Psycho-Physical Exercises

A stress condition brings about a contraction, a limitation of our energy. By restricting our vital energy circulation, the amount of blood and oxygen reaching the organs is reduced. And it is well known these days that on a physiological level it is the lack of oxygen in the body that favours the development of cancer. By reducing the level of energy circulation in the body one reduces one's lifespan. But Exercises have a lot to contribute to remedy the negative effects of stress on the body. Especially exercises that use conscious movements and conscious breathing (keeping our attention on our inner perception of the body sensations). But, most importantly, because while doing active exercises, a...

I was an allergy sufferer for many years. Over those years of trying anything I could get my hands on to find some relief, I noticed that there were two key things I had to do if I was to make myself feel better. Firstly, I had to reduce the amount of inflammation in my body. I had to change my diet and I knew it. I was eating too many foods high in omega six fatty acids, like junk foods, seed oils and low quality meat. The solution to this was to stop eating the bad foods and at the same time start taking molecularly distilled fish oil capsules high in DHA and EPA. This helps the body rebalance its fatty acid profile, decreasing inflammation and strengthening the immune system. DHA and EPA, also...

Americans spend about 16% of GDP on healthcare, which is the highest rate throughout the world. However, Americans live shorter lives than many other industrial countries in the world. Large amounts of money (about 75%) were spent on heart disease, diabetes, prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, hypertension, stroke, and obesity. Although the top health killers (heart disease, cancer and stroke) have dropped in the past several decades, Americans are still at a high risk especially for those who do not have insurance or easy access to medical care. American health care is a 'disease care' with little focus on prevention. It is a cycle of more expense and less delivery, as end stage of...

Occasionally a student won't want to come to class. If this occurs more than once or twice, please notify an instructor so that we can re-motivate, educate, and reaffirm the goals of Black Belt Excellence. It is important to remember that almost everyone who earns Black Belt at some point during his or her training considers quitting. It is normal to have peaks and valleys in our training, especially since Martial Arts are a year round activity whereas most other activities are seasonal. We sometimes hear that it is challenging for parents to get their children to class. As long as the student still has fun while they are here, then there is not too much to be concerned about. We find that children...

"I don't have any willpower." "I'm weak." "I'm lazy." "I can't do it." Do these statements sound familiar? Too often, our self-statements about weight management interfere with our efforts and lead to failure. By changing how we think about developing a healthy weight we are able to change the behaviors that can lead to success. Not long ago I conducted a little experiment with my cardio-kickboxing class. After an intense class I told them to get the heaviest weights they could curl 8-10 times. I spent a minute telling them to focus on feeling tired, that they had just worked out hard and they couldn't do anymore. Then, they were to curl the weights to exhaustion. Once they finished, I spent another...

At various times, loneliness is the scourge of everyone from the young, old, incarcerated and homeless to children, shut-ins, and to the rich and the poor. No one is immune from its grasp. It occurs because of a host of conditions: abandonment, death, divorce, alcoholism, geographical relocation, no communication (living together loneliness), and the lack of human contact, to name a few. Loneliness also manifests in various forms: cognitive (no one with similar intellectual interests and values to interact with), behavioral (no one to go places and do things with), and emotional (one believes he/she is unloved, all alone, and without emotional support). Sometimes, mourners suffer from all three...
