I like writing about Qigong. It’s my preferred method of communicating but dear Qigong Daily reader, I bet that comes as no surprise to you. Sure, I can do video. But I find it frustrating trying to remember everything I want to say and finding a good place to record can be a real bind [...]
Last night I was sat in a small room in Exeter listening to a speaker talk about his experience with prayer. Whilst listening I looked around the room There were about 30 men and woman of all ages present and a thought struck me. I realised the life that is flowing in my body is [...]
Let’s have some fun. This is by no means an exhaustive list of Qigong myths, lies and idiotic notions, but it’s a start. I’ll let you decide which ones are which. So in no particular order I give you 11 small servings of big nonsense: Qigong was invented by Bodhidharma – Nope. Qigong had been [...]
S‘been a while. But the Internet never disappoints for long. Got a real ‘blue flame special’ in my inbox yesterday. It went like this: “…your just a f**king parrot for wkk spouting the same sh*t. I bet you never had an original thought in your life stop peddling this crap and get a life…” There [...]
So there I was doing my practice. It was a real ‘season of mists’ morning, I couldn’t see further than the bottom of my garden before everything was blurred out by a grey featureless fog. I’m enjoying my Energy Flow, when I first become aware of the sound, but let it go. But it just [...]
Some days I really struggle with what Qigong tips I can share with you. I wrestle with ways to bring you something fresh and valuable every weekday. Well, this morning going downstairs to get Clarabella her morning cup of tea in bed, inspiration kicked me in the nostrils. And the result is today’s short, but [...]
Studying and doing nothing with what you learn is crazy. I mean what’s the point of learning anything unless you actually use it? Yet so many people do, I know, I used to be one of them. A quick glance at my book shelves will prove this. But as soon as I realised that time [...]
It’s Valentine’s Day and I’m in the mood for lurrvve! Don’t worry this isn’t going to get messy =) Before we continue I’d like you to consider a few ideas: Research conducted at Emory University and published in the American Journal of Public Health showed people who are satisfied with their lives are less likely [...]
One of my wonderful clients sent me this story: There were two warring tribes in the Andes, one that lived in the lowlands and the other high in the mountains. The mountain people invaded the lowlanders ond day, and as part of their plundering of the people, they kidnapped a baby of one of the [...]
An inquiring mind asks: Question: I bought your book ‘Shaolin Chi Kung’ but I’m concerned about something I read elsewhere. That someone who practices Qigong without formal training under the guidance of a Master could do themselves more harm than good. Could you give me some advice on how best to practice Qigong safely and [...]
On Sunday I was helping my dad put up his new shed and at one point I was in charge of the hammer =) Dad was holding the roofing felt down tight and my job was to hammer in a felt nail at that point and then we’d move on and do the next. There [...]
Top of the morning to you, I trust you had an enjoyable weekend. Anyway, forget all that for now, buckle up tight, because we’re going for a fast ride… You’re a passenger in a Dodge Viper ACR zooming around the infamous Nurburgring race track at speeds of over 160mph. Take a good look at the [...]
I got into deep, shark infested waters this time last week. I was downstairs making a cup of green tea, taking a break from writing when the mail arrived. Clarabella scooped it up off the floor and sifted through it. She came upon a brown, book sized jiffy bag with my name on and held [...]
