10 years ago today I got a phone call from Don, who was the Chief instructor in the UK for my teachers school. I wasn’t the first you see. Anyhoo… My teacher was giving several lessons in London that weekend, I hadn’t gone because it was Clarabella’s 30th birthday, plus Ollie was only 9 months [...]

Top of the morning to you. I hope you had a lovely weekend. As you know I operate and encourage you to adopt a strict: No Wrestling With Pigs policy. But I nearly blew it on Thursday last week. I confess I let this situation get me quite angry. So instead of seething over it [...]
I’m going to have to be quick and to the point today. Lot’s of work to do on the Perfect Qigong Project. So here’s the scoop. If you’ve been reading my work for a while, you’ll know that unlike most Qigong teachers I actually encourage you to engage in physical exercise and pay attention to [...]
Abraham Lincoln was born on this day, 12th February 1809, in a log cabin in Kentucky. From a poor family, he self educated himself and became the 16th president of the United States. He’s also one of the most popular presidents ever. And he was assassinated on April 15th 1865. I’m sure you probably know [...]
Wow! Yesterdays post really set the cat amongst the pigeons! I can’t remember the last time a Qigong Daily post generated so much heated response. And so many unsubscribes =) But you know what? I couldn’t be happier with the result. Seriously. If you’re wondering why I’m so happy to have unsubscribes from this list… [...]
Dear Friend, Looking in my diary I saw that the most depressing day of the year is coming. Monday 21st January 2013. Or Blue Monday as it’s also known. It marks a symbolic time in January when many people suffer from a series of combined depressive effects. It’s almost like a soul crushing Perfect Storm. [...]
Just a quick post to wish you a wonderful festive season, from my family to yours. I’m taking the rest of the day off and planning to: Play all my son’s new computer games. Take the day off from Intermittent Fasting. Eat my own body weight in chocolate. Goof around with Louis on the golf [...]
Everything is impossible until someone does it. Take Roger Bannister for example. On May 6th 1954 he was the first person to break the 4 minute mile. Many people said a sub 4 minute mile couldn’t be done. Within 2 years another 5 runners had achieved it. History is full of similar examples: It was [...]
Your time is precious, far too precious to waste. You, me, everyone. We all come with an expiry date, yet the way many of us carry on you’d think we had all the time in the world. Sorry Louis Armstrong, great song, but I simply don’t agree. And one of the biggest time sucks today [...]
I don’t like cricket… Oh no… I love it… ah yeah… Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc was playing on the radio as I followed the ambulance to the hospital. “Breathe Marcus, come on, deep breaths, that’s good, you can handle this .” I told myself through gritted teeth. Zooming along the early morning empty roads towards [...]
Dear Qigong Daily Reader, It’s Hemiplegia Awareness week here in the UK and as the father of a son with hemiplegia I want to do my bit to raise awareness. Ollie is 10 now and It has not been an easy journey. I remember discovering ‘Welcome To Holland‘ shortly after Ollie was born and sharing [...]
15th October 2012 Way East of Frozen Dog Road Dear Valued Qigong Daily Subscriber, Welcome to a brand new week, a clean slate, a fresh start. A chance to do more of the right stuff and less of the not so right stuff. I just wanted to give you a ‘heads up’ that there’s likely [...]
“I am not in danger, Skyler. I AM the danger!“ If you’ve never watched Breaking Bad, that quote won’t mean much to you. Let me bring you up to speed and if you’re a BB fan, sit down and enjoy the ride. BB is about a chemistry teacher (Walter White) who is diagnosed with terminal [...]
From: Way East of Flat Rock Road 22nd May 2012 Dear Friend, If you watched the video for this weeks Qigong blog post, you’ll have noticed it’s a little different than the usual format. There’s a very important reason why I did this and I’ll share it with you at the end of this post. [...]
