“I have been studying and practicing Qi Gng for over 40 years. As I grow older, my vital health is the most apparent benefit from moving energy through my body. I value the cultivation of Chi, which surrounds us, and responds to our breath to direct our healing focus. To me, this translates into a relationship with the interconnected web of all life, manifesting in all forms. My practice of Qi Gong never grows old, rather, it continues to deepen and enrich my life. May it enrich yours, as well.”
