Aging? We all are; everyone alive today will be older tomorrow. But as these yearly turns round the sun add up, so does the astonishing fact that I’ve got years of experience  in my memories and on my face with an active body that’s flexible and healthy. My brain is active too, ever ready to imprint more adventures into its matrix. As our bodies grow older, our brain continues growing too; this is neuroplasticity. The large numbers of practitioners doing Qigong and Tai Chi in their 100’s certainly affirms why Qigong is called the longevity exercise. I recently watched a video of a gracefu ..read more

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.

We are obsessed with our superior insight, diets, fitness and wisdom. I am obsessed too, fortunately though often humbled by un ..read more

Aging is our gift for living longer. We can’t stop the process, nor do I want to. I’m happier with my life today than I was twenty, thirty plus years ago.
