I have been slowly corresponding with a well-known lecturer and scientist (Embryologist) who is open to discussing esoteric concepts. He asked me, among other questions, how early Taoist hermits could possibly know about the existence of an Egg “Cell” or Sperm “Cell” thousands of years before the first microscope was utilized. I am not anContinue reading “A copy of correspondence between myself and a prominent Embryologist (scientist) and author / lecturer on Chinese Medicine and embryology”

What I am holding for 2019
Intentions for 2019 These arose out of the 10-day retreat I just recently returned from. Most are mundane. Keep the container full and clear – patch any leaks ASAP; be gentle; ask body before doing anything dysregulating; spend time re-building trust with my body / kidneys / heart / brainstem Practice Dharma and / or Qigong daily: if youContinue reading “What I am holding for 2019”
10-day retreat Missives: Dharma Discussion
Going in order from our 6 am Qigong start to the day.. then at 6:45 am we did a silent sit to nurture the chi which we had just cultivated. That lasted until 7:25 am. Not a whole lot more to share about that. 🙂 I usually did the Four Thoughts that Turn the MindContinue reading “10-day retreat Missives: Dharma Discussion”
10-day Retreat Missives: Qigong first thing
On retreat, I tended to wake up between 3:30 and 4:30.. check the clock and then nod off again until 5 am. For the majority of the time, I was making the early offerings for the shrine – water offering bowls, incense around the room and the Dharmapala tea offering. There is a beautiful offeringContinue reading “10-day Retreat Missives: Qigong first thing”
Back from 10-day retreat: a couple of anecdotes
Hello dear friends, I just returned yesterday from a sublime and moderately restorative (I got from 4 – 8 hours sleep each day / night) dynamic retreat at the beach. We were at Sandbridge Virginia, in a house which had an easy glimpse of the vast ocean, the endless horizon and the immense spacious sky.Continue reading “Back from 10-day retreat: a couple of anecdotes”
Dreams say I’m on the right track; signed up for SEP training
Hello dear readers! I just completed the application today to begin Somatic Experiencing training in Roanoke in March. It is a serious commitment – 3 years, 8 modules, 12 sessions, 12 group sessions and a significant financial obligation. So I had been chewing on this for several weeks – and actually pondering it for severalContinue reading “Dreams say I’m on the right track; signed up for SEP training”
Qigong works in mysterious ways..
I was recently asked to substitute teach for a Qigong class at the local City Center. It was a great group – 6 students attended. We went slow – it was their first class. We went over a foundation (which can be a complete qigong practice in and of itself), and then did Tap QigongContinue reading “Qigong works in mysterious ways..”
Chi Kung class 9: Water Qigong
Beginning with an aside… due to holiday travel and lodging in new places, I went four days without doing my usual 30 – 45 minutes of qigong in the morning, and I am really feeling it. Just doing 20 minutes of it tonight helped to right the ship as it were. It is interesting, butContinue reading “Chi Kung class 9: Water Qigong”

And I consider myself to be privileged to lead Chi Kung – I am slowly discovering what it means to be a Chi Kung (qigong) teacher. We met at a new venue today. An idyllic,Continue reading “Chi Kung class 8”
