Can A Pocket Watch Save You Time?

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Ever since I can remember my Dad collected pocket watches.
He belonged to a few Horology organizations.
Horology is the science of measuring time and the art of
making timepieces. Dad specialized in fine pocket watches;
he had railroad pocket watches with trains etched on the
cases.
Some showed the movement of the sun and the moon,
others chimed and they were all wound by hand or a key.

I learned how to handle fine timepieces as a youngster,
how to open them, wind them, not over wind them and to
appreciate the beautiful etchings integrate work of the Gold
and Coin Silver watches.

One day back, years and years ago, I asked Dad why he liked
to collect watches. He said, “Son, all we have is time,
and I love the things that keep track of time. We only have so
much time and you have to make good use of it before it’s gone.
You can never get it back.”

I thought a lot about my Dad’s statements about time this
morning when I was doing my Qi Gong practice.
Time is precious, Time is limited, all we have is time,
make good use of your time, it can be all gone before
you know it.

“Time is free, but it’s priceless.
You can’t own it, but you can use it.
You can’t keep it,
but you can spend it.
Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.”

- Harvey MacKay

How many times have you let time slip away?
When I tell people that I get up early every morning
before the sun is up and train they look at me like I
am from another planet.

I hear things like- “I could never get up that early!”
“I need to sleep at least 8 hours a night or I don’t function well.”
This one always make me laugh-
“I’m too tired to do energy exercises.”

“He who fails to train trains to fail.”

Excuses are excuses.
Your excuses waists your valuable time and energy,
there is no action in an excuse.
It’s time to step up and make some changes in your
life for the better.
Your time is precious,
your time is limited and time is ticking.
Make a decision now to start training with me and
make your time count. www.rechargingqigong.com

Healers Beware

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

If you are a healer,
a caregiver or just someone who cares for your family and loved ones,
you could be in Grave Danger and not even know it.

So many of us give our heart and soul to others, we give everything
we can to take care of- our mates, children, family and lovers.

No questions asked.

If they are sick, depressed, or just off balance we pore all of our
energy and attention into trying to make them feel better.

I’ve seen this with my own eyes. Some one can be
Sick- As- A -Dog,
and their mate will insist that they go out with them with no
regards for how they feel.

What blows me away they go!
Sick as Hell.

Is this loyalty? A fear of not being loved, or such a strong
need to be accepted and loved,
that one will compromise their own well being ?

What’s their mate thinking?
Are they thinking?

No mater the reason,
they jeopardize their own health and longevity,
all while trying to please.

The intension may be good, but you could be

“throwing out the baby with the bath water.”

Self-cultivation is a method used to not only
educate yourself, but a way to build in self respect
for yourself.
If you feel that there is no one there for you,
you need to be there for yourself first.

“Healer, heal thyself”

“We are all healers, in one-way or another and in
general we don’t take the time to heal ourselves”.
We must take care of ourselves as we help others
do the same.

“If I give you a fish – you eat for a day,
but if I teach you to fish you can eat for a lifetime.”
-J.C

Here are some suggestions to make your life better
and give yourself some well-deserved and needed
self-cultivation

Start your day out right…

· Start your morning with a hot cup of tea, and some quiet
meditation before everyone else gets up.

· Have your first meal be a calming nourishing one

· Start your exercise with qi gong, yoga or a relaxing walk

· Get 6 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep

· Go to sleep before Midnight at least 4 days a week

· Don’t ever deplete your reserves, it’s way too expensive

· Take some downtime

· Establish good work and play boundaries

· Build your immune system daily

· Fast one day a month or eat lightly that day

· Avoid big meals and desserts! – They suck your energy
reserves

Develop a daily habit of cleansing your energy and
refining it every morning with aQi Gong meditation.

I establish an energy shield around my body before
I start my day.

Obsessive–Compulsive=Obsessive Compulsive = Success??????

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

After one of my would-be students called me an Obsessive Compulsive,
 I looked up Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) on Wikipedia.
It defined it as characterized by repetitive behavior.
The symptoms of this anxiety disorder may include repetitive
hand-washing; extensive hoarding; pre-occupation with sexual
 or aggressive impulses, or with particular religious beliefs;
 aversion to  numbers; and somewhat strange  habits, such as
opening a door and closing it numerous times before one enters
 or leaves a room.
I can remember Ronny doing that all through high school.
We really thought he was eccentric.
“Obsessive–Compulsive” is part of the English lexicon,
 and is often used in an informal or caricatured manner
to describe someone who is meticulous or perfectionist.
When I get into something I get into it 110%,
this so-called obsession has gotten a bad rap throughout the years.
When you put yourself wholeheartedly into your work,
your practice or your studies- the magic of creativity happens.
I can remember when I first turned my attention to the study
of Qi Gong and Internal Energy work more than 30 years ago.
I was called compulsive and considered  a nut case by
family and friends.

That didn’t stop me for one second.

I took every class I could find. Practiced at least twice a day.
 And I read everything I could get my hands on.
I made it a point to go to all  the Qi Gong conferences,
flew to China to study with Qi Gong Masters and eventually
 took the Masters and Doctoral program in Medical Qi Gong.
To this day, I still study and practice everyday.
Is that obsessive? Perhaps yes, perhaps no but there
is one thing that is for sure:
 A productive obsession that you decide to cultivate
should be rooted in love, interest and a desire to
better your life.
There is nothing I wouldn’t do to hold on to my health
 and vitality.
That’s why I urge you join me in practicing my program
before it’s too late.
Be obsessive about staying healthy.
 Do it now!
For all the health and wealth in the world go to
 www.Rechargingqigong.com and see your future life
bursting with strength and vitality.

I wish you the Very best in your Health Wealth and Happiness

Full Moon Shamanic 
”Fire Ceremony”

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

The Moon was full; it was around dusk when I met up with the thirty people who gathered in the traditional healing circle in the park. The Ecuadorian Shamanic 
”Fire Ceremony was about to begun.

I have been to many of these events through out the years, but this was a first in Florida for me and the first

with a shaman from South America

I know the importance of Fire Ceremonies and no matter what tradition they come from they open a new

path way for my growth.  The purpose of this ceremony was to let go of old belief structures.

The Shaman blessed the space and welcomed in the Spirit of the sky, earth and the four directions.

We circled the fire and everyone there was getting ready for something  to happen, which would hopefully change his or her life for the better.

The Tibetan Lamas, Daoism Priests and Shamans that I studied with all use fire rituals of some kind.

In fact most native peoples, as well as the Taoist and Buddhist shamans invoke  the Fire element in there secrete rituals.

This  Fire Ceremony was no exception, the Shaman  invoke the four directions, ancestors,

the Earth energies, the universe and the spirit of the fire. This ceremony offers a cleansing of energy

field and patterns of long pending issues.

The goal is re-connecting with our true nature of pure heart-centered consciousness, each one of us  received a shamanic cleansing. This ancient ceremony promoted healing on all levels.

When  coming to the fire circle it is customary to create an offering out of a small stick. Using my breath,

blow this intention or prayer into the offering several times.

One additional offering is then placed in the fire for the Mother Earth.

Each person in the circle will blow their prayers for the planet into the offering

before it is placed into the fire.”

The four main  ritual that use  fire offerings in the Tibetan system called fire puja :

1.The Peaceful harmonizing  Fire  it  to pacify the results of the three poisons, (worry , struggle and blame) ,

or to clear away obstacles and defilements. It may also be done to avoid  difficulties and illnesses.

2.  Increasing Ritual Fire Offerings can be performed for both one’s own and other’s benefit.

To increase wealth health and happiness

3. A decrease fire can be performed to get ride of obstacles on the path or even pests like rodents,

bugs or snakes. Also  to subdue forces that is harming other sentient beings.

4. A Strong and forceful  puji fire  are performed against harmful forces. In Tibet rituals these were used

to dispel or subdue local disturbances,

All rituals no matter what system or tradition  they come from involve keeping yourself centered and

grounded at all times. I have found that Qi Gong exercises are number one in keeping you grounded

centered and focused. That’s why I encourage all of my students who are interested in spiritual work,

marshal arts or healing to learn and practice internal exercises, like the ones offered in

the Recharging Qi Gong Program.www.Rechargingqigong.com for those of you that have the

Recharging Qi Gong Program there will be a class on June 12 th . in Miami to go over the finer  points  in the program

Don’t Lose your Pie in the snow

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

fallen pie

I was talking to my cousin Susie today.
She told me that she made two pies and brought
them to friend’s houses for Christmas.
Suzy, “I didn’t know you inherited that pie maken
gene from Grandma”.

I told her about a story that I heard years ago from
my Dad about pies.
It was back in the time of the great depression.
My grandmother was a great cook and an even better baker
she made everything. Home made noodles from scratch, cakes,
cookies and everyone loved her pies,they were the very best,
lemon,cherry,blueberry, pumpkin and apple you name it
Grandma made it.

The family lived in Michigan and one cold, snowy, winter
day just around this time of the year my Grandma made a
few of her famous pies and placed them on the windowsill
to cool.

As fait would have it, one flipped over and landed in the
new fallen snow.

What a Bummer!

In our lives there is so much we see spill, tip over, or break
and some of us see only the lost pie in the snow.

I had a patient call me and say.” I am going into the hospital
to treat my depression. It’s really bad.  Saw a shrink and he’s
throwing pills at me – but they’re not doing anything and he’s
a fortune. I have to go somewhere that can remedy this.
I feel that I am being stuck in the same place without the
tools to dig my way out.” I am not sure I can hang on.
I am really feeling hopeless.

Well I know from experience that our lives are a series of
lessons to be learn. If we get up-set, bent-out-of-shape and
it effects our health in all three bodies physically, mental
and spiritual.

If the lesson isn’t learned, most likely we’ll have to repeat
it over and over again, until we learn it.
When it feels like a “crisis of death”, it is most likely akin
to a “crisis in birth.”

There are always ways to dig your pie out of the snow.
All it takes is the right coaching and education.

My dad and both of my uncles ran out side with spoons
in hand and didn’t let a bit go to waste.

I wish you the Best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

BP oil spill Kills Sea Turtles

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

IMG_1141 If you get up early in the morning and make it to the beach around
4:00 or 5:00 AM you may find a special treat.

Large 300 pound sea turtles are laying their eggs.

The big mama came in just before daybreak and spent about 30 minute
digging a hole, laying her eggs, covering them up and going back
into the sea.

The magnificent sea Turtles migrate thousands of miles,
but usually return to lay their eggs on the same beach where
they hatched.

Sea turtles have existed for over one hundred million years

It can take 15 – 50 years before a sea turtle is capable of reproducing

Scientists estimate that only 1 in 1000 to 10,000 babies will survive
to adulthood

Sea turtles live their entire life in the ocean. The only time they come
ashore is when the female lays her eggs.

Sea turtles are reptiles. They breathe air and can hold their breath for long
periods of time.

When its time to sleep, a loggerhead will wedge under a rock close to the
shore, or take a snooze while floating on the surface of deep water

Hatchlings weigh less than one ounce and are only two inches long.
Adults can grow over 3 feet long and weigh 200 to 300 pounds!

The nest temperature during incubation determines a sea turtle’s sex.
Boys like it cool – Girls like it hot.

Sea turtles have great underwater vision, but are nearsighted out of the water.
Although sea turtles do not have external ears, they are capable of hearing
low frequency sounds and vibrations

Sea turtles use their strong jaws to crush a diet of crabs, shrimp, mussels,
and jelly fish.

This is to sad
I was talking to the park service lady who I call the “Turtle Lady.”
She said they lost over 200 turtles this year in shrimp nets on the
Gulf as the Shrimp boats crews were in a rush to get the shrimp in before the
oil spill destroys them and the turtles drowned in the nets  they are air breathers.
“This oil spill is really a mess.”

The eggs will take about 3 months to mature and the little ones will scurry
back to the sea.

One of the advantages of doing my training before the sun rises is that everything is

Really  Still

and you get to see wonderful things in nature that most of us miss as we get
those last minute Zzzzzzzz’s.

If you’re ready to build a body of steel, increase your internal power and align
yourself with the sprits of nature join me June 12th
for a one day intensive  in Miami for the

Recharging Qi Gong  workshop call 786-271-0325 to register.

I Wish you the Best in your health, Wealth and Happiness

“I know I should be, but am not.”

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

At last the wedding day has arrived for Ryan & Faye. Monsignor Doyle is about to give the wedding Mass.         The music is starting and heads are turning to see the stunning young bride. The exchange of wedding vows will happen in the next few minutes. I am at Saint Rose Catholic Church in Miami, Florida. It’s a blessing to be here to celebrate this holy event.

On my way to the church, I ran into Faye’s cousin. We met a few times over the years. He’s a martial artist, well trained and disciplined in his art and dedicated to his practice. I asked if he was doing any internal training and he said.

“I know I should be, but am not.”

Big mistake dude! I am around 30 years his senior and no kidding we look around the same age. I can tell you why. I don’t know him very well but I know he practices a hard form. I am sure he gets a buzz from it, feels lots of juice and surges of energy. Although he is geeked up for now it won’t last.                                                                     He’s way too yang and burning himself out without even consciously realizing it. That much yang energy is only OK when you’re young but if you don’t cultivate yin you’ll be old before your time.

All of the old masters practice an internalform Qi Gong, Nei Gong, or Shen Gong it maybe under another         name if Japanese, Korean or Philippinebut every form has some kind of internal practice.

Basically Yang is fire and Yin is water. If you continually build your yang energy you will dry up the yin, then you’re in big trouble. The organs get too much heat and they dry up and so do you. Your body loses flexibility, the tendons contract and your joints will start to ache your skin gets old and so do you. There not a day when some martial artist comes into my office and complains of pain.

Doc. “I did Karate or Kung-Fu for years and now everything hurts, can you help me”?

They never practiced any internal work and they always got as yang as they could taking hot yang formulas over training to stay geeked up and now they are paying for it.

Well guys and gals it’s not too late to recover and start feeding like you were young again.

When they come into the office I start them with a special diet, yin nourishing tonics and teaching them the secrets of internal work. Most centers don’t teach it to their students for a few reasons; either they don’t know it or they hold information back from the student to keep the edge for themselves.                                                                 The internal exercises like the Recharging Qi Gong ones are the opposite of external exercise.                         External exercises like kung-fu, karate, boxing and wrestling often deplete the body and the internal organs.  This causes premature aging illness and loss of Qi.                                                                                                            There is a saying that I heard many years ago. ‘If you train externally you must train internally, but if you train internally you don’t need to train externally”.

I created the Recharging Qi Gong program and teach the members of the Qi Gong Inner Circle an on-going program to keep them as young and powerful as possible. If you’re a martial artist, a weight lifter, swimmer, runner, boxer, dancer or just someone that’s wants to retain your youth and health join me and the members that are getting younger as they practice. www.RechargingQigong.com

I wish you the Best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness

The Horns of The Rabbit

Monday, October 12th, 2009

rabbit

 

Once there was a very clever rabbit hopping
down the road. One particular day wasn’t one
of his lucky days, or was it?

Unknown to the rabbit, he was heading on
the same path of a very large and ferocious
lion coming from the opposite direction.
The lion roared at him, “Little rabbit
prepare for your death. You are my meal.”

Although the rabbit was shaking inside, he
was a quick thinker. He put his paws up
over his head and in his big voice yelled out,
“Mr. Lion, do you see these horns? I can
stab you right through the heart.”

Before the lion could respond, the rabbit
ran under his legs and said “too low”.

He turned around and jumped over the lions
head. And this time he said, “too high”.

The lion was looking at the rabbit in
amazement as the rabbit pointed his paws
at the lion’s heart and said, “This time
I got you.”

Feeling defeated, the lion ran away.

The moral of the story is two folds.
If you are convincing enough, all of your
fears will run away. It could be a life
or death situation, but you have to be
quick and clever.

Every day we have to make decisions to
keep us alive mentally, physically and
spiritually. We make these decisions
based on our education, training and what
we practice.

What are you practicing?

FEAR?

Are you practicing to think outside the
box like the fearless rabbit or are you
running with your tail between your legs
like the lion?

In the Chinese system of health care,
fear is rooted in the kidneys. It manifests
as low back and knee pain, hair loss, loss
of hearing and a low libido. When we are
coming from a place of fear, those are
some of the symptoms we will have.

But there are ways to transform that fear
and increase your sexual energy.

That’s what I teach in the Qi Gong Inner Circle.
www.Qigonginnercircle.com

You can change that low back and knee pain
into a more powerful pain free body. But it
takes practice, education and commitment.

I will give you the education and the
coaching that you need if you want to make
that commitment and are willing to practice.

We always have a choice in life to sit on
the side lines and watch the game or to be
a player and in the action.

Take the action now. Sign up today.
Go to www.Qigonginnercircle.com

None of us want to be left out. Sometimes we
just need a little push to get started.
Then we can embody the teachings and it’s
ours forever.

Take a risk in your own behalf and let me be
the one to push you so you can let go all of
your fears.

I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth
and Happiness.

Thunder Magic

Monday, September 14th, 2009

thunder GodLast night around 3:00am, I jumped out of bed from
all the action happening outside. The sky was lit up
and my whole house was shaking from the thunder.
The energy was AWESOME!

clip_image001

When the BIG thunderstorms roll in, I am wide-awake
running the energy through my channels. This is like
taking a shower of light! It takes about 5 to 7 seconds
from the time you see the lighting until you hear the
BIG BOOM!

When I was in China at the Long Hu Shan monastery,
I studied “Thunder Magic.” It’s the Chinese version
of the Greek God Zeus.

Thunderstorms are worth their weight in gold and are
commonly used in many advanced meditation practices.

Thunder magic is believed to be one of the most effective
means of countering negative forces. During thunderstorms,
the lightning and thunder purifies and cleanses the air.
It can also put a great deal of energy in your body if you
know how to work with it.

When you learn how to cultivate the energy of the
thunderstorms, you cleanse your aura like energizing
and recharging your batteries. With proper training,
one can inhale the thunder and recharge the five yin
organs and store it in the lower Dantian.

As a member of the Qi Gong Inner Circle, you will have
access to these teachings and more. Every month you
will receive a DVD or CD delivered to your door with
exercises, meditation practices, Qi Gong secrets and
much more. www.qigonginnercircle.com

Don’t let the energy pass you by one more day or night.
Order now and be prepared to cultivate the energy for
the next thunderstorm. www.qigonginnercircle.com

Wishing you the Best in Health, Wealth and Happiness,

Dr. Wu Dhi

Turtle Style Qi Gong

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Training early morning has many advantages
this time of the year. One being my favorite
is witnessing the hatching of sea turtles.
What a lucky day it was when I came across a
nest of newly hatched baby turtles and were
on their way back to the sea.

I carefully picked one up, cradled it in my hand,
and felt the vibration of new life. When I put
the little feller down, he scampered off to the
sea and vanished in an instant.

 

Baby Sea Turtle

Baby Sea Turtle

What a buzz! You can imagine what an incredible
Qi Gong workout I had after that.
Every year the mother turtle comes back to the
same beach to lay her eggs.  Sea turtles live
long lives and grow up to weighing more than
300 pounds. This little encounter set the tone
for my entire week and more. Turtles are a sign
of longevity and wealth. And as for me, a
definite sign of prosperity!Later that day I invited a friend to lunch.
She noticed an internal glow on my face and
asked what was going on. I told her the turtle
story and showed her the pictures to go along
with it. After lunch, we walked over to a gift
shop. The owner greeted us kindly with,
“Hello, how are you doing?”

With a big smile on my face, I bellowed,
“Pretty good, thanks for asking.”

He snipped, “You’re the only one in this
economy who is doing pretty good.”

Well, he had no idea just how well I was doing.
I just came off the beach high on sea-turtle buzz!

But then I paused and looked closely at the man.
He had gray hair, poor posture, no vitality and
looked old. I then looked into his eyes;
his Shen was off-kilter. He saw life through eyes
of fear. In fact he mentioned that he was afraid
of the future. 

In Chinese medicine, Fear is the negative emotion
of the kidneys. You could see by the way this man
walked; he had a sore back which is another sign
of poor kidney health.

The positive emotion of the water element where the
kidney resides is Gentleness.

I cover the emotions of the five elements in the DVD
for members of the Qi Gong Inner Circle.  If you’re
not a member, I implore you to please save your
future-self and visit www.Qigonginnercircle.com.

As a member, you will discover freedom of fear and
all the ills that ail you. 

Your first month is only one dollar.   If you don’t
like it, I’ll send your dollar back and you can
keep the DVD.  There’s nothing to lose and
everything in life to gain. Get high on life!   

Wishing you the very best in Health, Wealth and
Happiness,
Dr. Wu Dhi
