At my desk at 5:30 am edited and worked until lunch.
Immigration all afternoon.
Came home and started editing again.
It’s 7:30 pm and I’m about to eat dinner.

This is the life I dreamed about, seriously. My family back home in Canada can’t believe how on fire I am, sure feels good. By the way … all of the audiobooks are up with the ebooks at my school at no additional cost. Thanks for your support, I absolutely love doing this.

The practices we now call Qigong have a history stretching back more than two thousand years, but the name itself has a rather different story.

I recently published an article exploring the historical origins of Qigong, beginning with the ancient Daoyin exercises illustrated in the Mawangdui manuscripts. It examines older traditions such as Yangsheng, Tuna, and Neidan, along with early appearances of the term "氣功" (Qigong) in Daoist literature, centuries before Liu Guizhen helped popularize its modern usage during the 1950s.

These older names describe practices with different methods, purposes, and historical backgrounds. Although many are now grouped together under the name Qigong, they did not all develop from a single system.

For practitioners and teachers, understanding these distinctions provides a clearer picture of what we practice today and how these methods developed over the centuries.

Daoist embryonic breathing, or Tai Xi, draws attention inward through meditation and cultivation of the lower Dantian. Understanding the practice begins with distinguishing reverse abdominal breathing from a breath that becomes naturally quiet.

My latest article explores these distinctions and explains what Western respiratory physiology adds to our understanding of slow breathing. It also offers practical guidance for beginning with comfortable breathing and steady attention.

The forces we place on our bones can have effects far beyond the skeleton.

New research in found that controlled loading of the shinbone helped recovery after brain injury. The response depended on a force-sensitive protein in bone cells called PIEZO1 and involved signals circulating through the blood.

This raises an intriguing question about Yi Jin Jing: could the forces generated during practice engage similar pathways?

In my latest Substack article, I explore the bone-brain connection, human studies of Yi Jin Jing and bone health, and the traditional pairing of sinew transformation and marrow washing. The connection to Qigong remains a hypothesis, but we now have a specific biological pathway to investigate.

A Qigong session can leave you feeling calmer and more at ease. Researchers have measured changes in chemical messengers involved in stress and mood alongside improvements in how practitioners feel.

In my most recent post, I explore the connections between practice, cortisol, serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins, with references to peer-reviewed research.

In 1927, General Yang Sen sent a group to collect Li Qingyun, an herbalist said to be 250 years old. According to Yang’s account, Li declined the ride and walked the thirty kilometers into town, wearing out the officer sent to es**rt him.

My latest post follows Li’s remarkable life through mountain journeys, encounters with Daoist teachers, and visits with generals eager to learn his methods of longevity. Along the way are his teachings on breathing, Qigong, and keeping a quiet heart, plus a few stories about his humor and fondness for rice cakes.

We may keep up with a demanding schedule while spending much of our free time trying to feel rested. When that becomes familiar, it is easy to accept persistent tiredness as part of ordinary life.

My latest article explores Jing (精), the Chinese medical concept of Essence, and how inherited constitution and daily habits figure in the traditional understanding of vitality. It considers how our ability to recover changes over a lifetime, and how we can make room for rest within the demands of daily life.

A horse stance looks still until you’re the one holding it. Your legs resist gravity, your ankles and hips make small adjustments, and force travels through muscle, tendon, and connective tissue.

My new article looks at ma bu (馬步) through research on holding, or yielding, isometrics. Studies of sustained contractions and isometric squats show how repeated loading can change the mechanical properties of tendons and aponeuroses. I also look at what researchers have measured in the fascia of the thigh, and why stance depth and effort matter alongside time spent holding the position.
