When was the last time you thought about the way in which you made choices in your life? What instructs you to choose one course of action over another? Chinese people have known for a long time that we have an internal compass, our heart, which guides us in all aspects of our life. We have the innate ability to feel if something is favorable or good for us.

HEALTH & WELLNESS: Tai Chi & Qigong; They have no equals.....

Illness and injury prevention is core to Tai Chi and QiGong. The most basic aspects of the practice are an invitation to understanding what influences daily, seasonal and yearly changes.

Learning to study ourselves, and question our reactions or responses, helps us consider the small changes needed for daily health momentum.

Four Years of Impressions, Each Topic a Lifetime

Submitted by zkrebs on Thu, 04/08/2010 - 7:22pm

For the last couple of years I have had a big whiteboard hanging in my room. At various points I put it up and took it down. Embarassment is a reason to take it down. Pride is a reason to put it up.
