Fate, Karma or just where your supposed to be .. the Chi of Living

I am asked a lot:  “how did you end up teaching this stuff?”

The short answer…  “by accident”

The long answer…  “by accident”

Tai Chi or Qigong (Chee , Chi) (Gong, Kung) … is there a difference?

First of all,  it is Qigong.  Phonetically,  it is Chee Gong  …   like cheese without the se, and a gong, like you clang.

It’s funny, like most people 20 plus years ago I had never really heard of Tai Chi or Qigong.  From movies and tv shows I knew of Karate and Kung Fu, and through a friend Jujitsu.    But that was it.  I had never seen them life or had any real interaction with them.

Tai Chi and Qigong: My oh my, the learning never stops

Years ago I asked my sensei when I know the forms he was teaching me.  He did his sly smile and said, “your last breath will be the end of your learning the nuances”.

You know what, here is is 18 years later and I am still finding he was right.

How often should I practice my Qigong? You already know.

The other day I did a presentation on Tai Chi and Qigong to a group of 52 of the Mansfield Township, Warren County NJ seniors.

I talked about the benefits, a  bit of history and the difference between the two modalities.
