How do you respond when someone speaks to you with aggression and spite? What is the correct response? What is the kind response? How can we stay emotionally regulated at times like this? How can we not take it personally?

It’s pretty challenging, right.

There's a few fundamental things that keep people from living the life they really want, they’re the same few things keep people from learning and practicing Qigong.

In a nutshell they're priority, habit and doing hard things…

Recently, I experienced a powerful reminder of the need for a modern approach to practicing Qigong. It was during a live online program where I led my students through a revitalizing 30-minute Qigong practice to kickstart their day. However, the unexpected occurred.

Have you ever been to a wellness class where they teach you to breathe into your belly, making it expand like a balloon? Well, that's not really the right way to breathe for good health. It's just another misleading trend from pop culture.

While there’s many different reasons that people seek out Qigong, I’ve found these typically fall into two broad categories; health & wellbeing and spiritualism.

While Qi (energy) Healing is becoming more widely known and accepted within mainstream culture, but it’s still considered woo-woo or snake-oily to many. In this musing I dive into understanding Qi Healing, the hot potato of Medical Qigong, and more.

Students often ask me why we do certain movements in Qigong — what they’re for, how they work. While curiosity is natural, it’s not the most important part of the practice. Real transformation happens through consistent practice and direct experience, not through intellectual dissection.
