In my effort to balance the stone, the angles and direction of my body were correctly aligned and I could have no distracting thoughts.

 



 

Because of this, I...

True Peace Is in Your Heart

Pure love and peace come without condition. 
Conditional love and peace are imperfect.

Smiling is the gateway to encountering peace and true love.

How to Find Your Healing Points

Focused continually outside of ourselves—on our jobs, our families, the endless stream of information and entertainment—we often live without realizing our bodies are ill. We gradually accumulate aches and pains, toxins, clogged arteries, fatigue, and more, unaware of them until they are severe enough to keep us from being active.

Everything Is Kigong

 

Ki, qi, or chi are words for energy in Asia, the life energy that courses through designated channels in our bodies. Ki is meant to move freely through these channels, and it responds to our thoughts, emotions, and movement. With our focus, we are not only able to sense the ki in our bodies, but direct it as needed. We can smooth away blocks to our health, expel built-up emotions, and fl...
