Debi discovered qigong about ten years ago. She was searching for a slower-paced movement therapy following a successful brain surgery that would include gentle movements, relaxation and breath work. She discovered qigong, a 5000 year old energy exercise meaning, “working with your vital life force”. It is the foundation of both t’ai chi and kung fu. Qigong emphasizes the importance of one’s internal health, while conventional exercises, performed in a fitness center, focus on outside physical conditioning. Her personal routine includes standard fitness exercises, biking,
Chi Walking, qigong, t’ai chi, and meditation.read more

I have a website and a profile on LinkedIn. What more could I need? read more

the "freeze frame" technique created by Doc Childre, a
leading authority on reducing stress, and increasing emotional
balance. I found this technique on the HeartMath website
recently and wanted to share it with you.

I discovered qigong and t'ai chi about ten years ago quite by accident. I was searching for a slower-paced movement therapy following a successful brain surgery that would include gentle movement, relaxation and breathing exercises for body/mind/spirit. I had heard about t'ai chi, meaning the "Great Ultimate", and took a local class. I found it to be quite challenging as T'ai Chi is a gentle, slow-moving exercise which has a precise number of steps performed in a specific order. I found it to be an ideal form of exercise for me.
