Why Stretch Out Your Mind?

Friday, July 1st, 2011
Share

My body was aching this morning when
I woke up and just by chance a friend
dropped by the office who owns a
unique company, “The Stretch Zone.”
You may be wondering what the
heck is the Stretch Zone is all about.

Jordan, the developer came up
with a great therapy
and that is just what I need for my
sore body. He stretches every
muscle in your body and you just
lie on his cool custom table.
It’s almost like having someone do a
Yoga class on you.

Instead of you doing the stretches—
he does the stretching for you!
He developed this system after many years
of work as a personal trainer and now
he stretches people and gives them
exercises to keep their bodies
in great shape.

When I trained on the beach
I pulled a muscle.
It could have been from a high kick
or from running in the surf. I’m not
exactly sure what I did to myself but
I woke up sore.
My stretch guy worked on every muscle
group in my body, slowly stretching
and unraveling the knot that I seemed
to have tied in myself.

He worked the synthesizes, which are
controlled stretching techniques that
help the autonomic nervous system.
It quickly improves muscle symmetry,
and eliminates the pain.
This put the muscles to rest
and I was back to full range and pain
Free in just 1 ½ hours.

What was unique about the treatment
is the Stretch Zone Table that he designed
with adjustable belts, pads, and straps
allowing for the speedy extension of muscles
further than the central nervous system
would normally permit.

When you train as much as I do it’s a
good idea to get a massage, have
someone to stretch you and to take a
sauna at least once a week to relax the
body and keep in good shape.
When I got off of the table, I felt three
inches taller and all of the pain
was gone, I felt great!

I was back to training this morning.
I started by walking backwards 1000
steps, then I did the

Recharging Qi Gong:
http://www.rechargingqigong.com/recharging-qi-gong.html set

for about 20 minutes and moved right into the

Flying Crane Qi Gong exercise:

http://rechargingqigong.com/flying-crane-qi-gong.html.

I winded it up by doing the automatic
move and went deep into a meditation.
I felt my energy body relaxing at a deep
level and by the time I ended my
training I was super charged and at
the same time I felt totally relaxed.
It was like being on vacation.

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

Healers Beware

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010
Share

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.
If you want to learn this secret info,
join the Qi gong Inner Circle,
www.qigonginnercircle.com

this is just one of the many hundreds of
Taoist teachings that I only share with members.

It protects me and allows me to work at a deeper
level with students, patients, family and friends.

Don’t buy into the atmosphere of fear that people
may project around you or their neediness.
It’s usually someone trying to suck energy
from you.

There are many ways to keep yourself healthy and retain
a strong energy field around.
If you are ready for the next step in your growth join the

It’s not just about getting through the day but about making
all the aspects of your life Happy, Healthy and Wealthy.

Are We Having FUN Yet?

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010
Share

When I was a small boy growing up in Detroit

my Dad would come home every night after

Work around 6:30 and before dinner he would

play with my brother and me before doing

anything else.

 

We would beg him to stand on his head and

Dad who was in good shape would do a head

stand for us. He loved to stand on his head

like a yogi right in the middle of the living

 room.

 

Every time he did this coins would fall from his

pockets.

 

My brother and I would scurry around and grab

as much loose change as we could while my father

pretended to protest, “give me back my money” from

his inverted position.

 

In truth it was as much fun for him as it was

for us.

 

My Dad was the youngest of a family of eight

and being the baby of that family he was always having

fun with siblings even into adulthood.

 

Life for him was about play, having fun being with friends and family.

 

Dad successfully instilled this outlook of life

onto me and my brother.

 

Even when we would go with him to work in downtown

Detroit we had fun, maybe even the most fun of all.

 

The word work and the drudgery that goes along with

it never made any sense to me or my brother because

of this.

 

People hate to work but they use this word for

stuff that isn’t even work. Did you ever notice

that everywhere it does get used people are really

serious.

 

Serious people in the gym are Working Out.

For serious training you go to a Workshop.

When you’re serious about beauty you call

it a Work of art. If you’re serious about

your Work they say you have Work ethic.

Some even practice Spiritual Work.

 

I’ve done my best to work and be conscious

over the years, I really have, but most of

the time I can’t help but

consider how much fun I’m having.

If you love what your doing work is fun.

 

If I’m not having fun or moving to a higher

level of “fun” in the sense of being able to

contribute; making a difference; learning;

growing and to feel that I am part of a

successful group that is making a difference

in the world, it’s usually not fun and I am

not doing it or at least not for long.

 

What I’ve learned is that you can’t push

other people to work they are either workers

 or not, but you can make it rewarding and Fun.

This gets you and others to be much more protective.

Everyone loves to have Fun.

 

Sometimes it’s just a matter of reminding ourselves

that we’re having fun.

 

Try it.

 

There are many situations that are supposed to be

fun that we often add tension to and they instantly

become serious situations or work.

 

At these times simply say aloud “This is fun”.

 

You’ll either break the tension in the room or

You’ll actually change the

orientation of yourself and others from one of

seriousness to one of FUN.

 

If you saw me doing Recharging Qi Gong with my

students on the beach I doubt you’d say that looks

like a lot of work. It’s actually a lot of fun and

it looks like fun, feels life Fun and it is Fun too.

 

Big smiles on everyone’s face and some occasional

Laughter is normal.

 

This is not your usual “Workout” and so far it’s been

producing unusual results in those that have gotten

the program

http://rechargingqigong.com and started to use it.

 

If you want more vitality and pep in your step I

encourage you to make a change.

 

Go to http://rechargingqigong.com and find out how

you can use these simple and gentle movements every

day to pump up you Qi power and invigorate your internal

organs

 

Wishing you the best in Health, Wealth and Happiness,

To Relaxed too get Sick

Saturday, January 31st, 2009
Share

This was the week when every one who came in the office had Kleenexes pouring from their pockets.
 
The office was packed with people with stuffed up heads, nostrils flooding and unable to stand up for more than a few minutes at a time. This hack- and sniffle season is in full force, with all the coughs, sore throats and stiff muscles… 
 
If you want to avoid getting sick practice relaxing techniques like Qi gong, yoga and meditation .
 
I find that colds don’t hit you as hard or as long if you are practicing Qi Gong.
 
Yes that’s right, de-stress can shorten the amount of time you suffer with a cold if one does catch you.
 
When people are calm and relaxed they have fewer days of misery.
 
The respiratory system and the saliva secret more antibodies to block viruses from latching onto the cells. 
 
Pointers to keep you healthy.
1.      Wash your hands often
2.      Use paper towels to dry
3.      Avoid rubbing your eyes and nose.
4.      Avoid antibiotics they have no effect on a cold
5.      Go to bed early
6.      Avoid drinking cold drinks.  it’s better to drink hot teas peppermint, chrysanthemum and honeysuckle flower are a good combination
7.      Pure air and water are essential for good health. Keep up with your Qigong deep breathing 
 
For centuries the Chinese have observed the changes of the weather and have dressed and eaten accordingly to prevent colds and flu’s.  A Cold indicates that we are out of harmony with the change of seasons. 

Keep Clean to avoid the cooties:
 
“Change affects the body and thus brings disease…..
The troublesome winds affect beneath the lung, brining about illness in this place….
Saliva and mucus appear: evil winds then bring chills, and this causes the illness of the troublesome winds”.
-The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine
 
In this season Increase the frequentness of chest strikes to open and clear the lungs and clear the body of stagnant energy as you build your Wei Qi field. It is a good exercise to keep your immune system strong. It’s the second exercise in the Recharging Qigong Exercise program and to get ride of the stiffness do the Head Rotations, and The Neck Brace
 
If you don’t know about the Recharging Qigong Program go to http://www.Rechargingqigong.com and get it today.
 
 
 
I wish you the Best in Health, Wealth and Happiness
 
Dr. Wu Dhi
PS: There are also many dietary suggestions, emotional considerations and herbal and homeopathic formulas as well as how the Yin changing to Yang affects our overall health. Every month I share these inner secrets with the Qigong inner circle members.

This is your ticket

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008
Share

Where you are in your life today is where you made an
appointment to be five years ago.
 
Where you’ll be five years from now will be determined by your
actions today and in the future.
 
Every day you book a seat on the bus to old age and illness
unless you make a conscious choice and jump on the bullet train
to looking, feeling, and being younger in your body and mind.

So how do you book your ticket to being younger.
 
The first step towards looking, feeling, and being younger is
to decide that you’re not going to stay where you are.
 
You can’t stand still in life or you end up riding the down
escalator.
 
Consider this.
 
Are you habitually being dragged along by your destructive
habits of over eating , eating the wrong stuff, watching hours
of energy sucking television, getting zapped by the computer,
or staying up late?

What habits have you developed for your health?

 
Now is the time to make the shift to a more positive program.
 
I’m going to start you off in the right direction with the 9
easy steps of the Qi Gong Apprentice. Then it will be up to you
to follow me the rest of the way.
 
Here we go.
 
1. The first thing to do is get, and keep, yourself well
hydrated. If you’re putting on weight it could just be a
problem of dehydration. Things like body fat, poor muscle tone,
digestive complications, muscle soreness, even water-retention
problems are all related to you not drinking enough Water. It’s
possible to go without food for a few months, but without water
you’ll start to age faster in only a few days. Many of us live
in a dehydrated state and don’t have a clue.
 
2. Start programming your body and brain with a regular wake
and sleep time. When you sleep correctly your body is recharged
from primordial Qi, the mind is cleared of clutter, muscles
grow, the immune system is strengthened and wounds of all kinds
are healed.
Pass on a good nights sleep and be prepared to be greeted by
the three ugly dwarfs in the morning “Irritable”, “Forgetful”,
and “Depressed”.
 
3. Avoid caffeine none-after 2:00 pm. Around the clock caffeine
can put stress on the adrenals, weaken the kidneys (you may
even feel it in your low back), and worst of all gradually
start to increase your addiction to coffee and other stimulants
while at the same time they lose their kick.
 
4.  No Alcohol at least a few hours before bed it can disturb
your sleep alcohol may have a sedating effect at first, and
then it tends to rile you in the middle of the night, causing
restless sleep and snoring.
 
5.  A gentle work out like Yoga or Qigong a few hours before
bedtime will improve sleep.

6. Create your own relaxing rituals before bed; such as take
shower to clean off the days physic debris. It will work
wonders.
 
7. Do the Tension Release Exercise* to clear your mind of
useless accumulated tensions (mind chatter). This exercise is
taught in the Free Report “Using Stress as an Ally” that you
get with the power pack that is the Recharging Qi Gong.
http://rechargingqigong.com 
 
8. Eat at least one meal with a friend or family every day,
it’s a nourishment of another kind that we all need.
 
9. Get into doing an exercise program, a real workout everyday.
Work your body and it will serve you.
 
Practice these 9 steps of the Qi Gong apprentice and you will
notice a humongous change in the next thirty days.

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