We also explore how Tai Chi, Qigong, and meditative arts fit into his academy and his work helping other school owners teach these practices.In this episode, you'll learn:How Jeff grew from teaching private lessons to running a 500+ student academyWhat changed after he accumulated more than $150,000 in business debtWhy growing your student count can create more work without the right teamHow hiring a program director helped him delegate sales and daily operationsHow he developed longtime students into instructorsWhy today's martial arts leads need a more intentional follow-up and enrollment processThe five parts of Jeff's enrollment process, from appointment setting to the sales consultationHow he uses introductory lessons to help prospects understand the value of trainingWhy he approaches sales as helping people make an informed decisionHow Tai Chi, Qigong, and meditative arts complement his academy's other programsWhether you're trying to grow your student base or build a school that depends less on you, this episode offers practical lessons on martial arts school growth, enrollment systems, and team development.If you want help growing your martial arts school, book a call here:https://leadhuntermedia.com/Lead Hunter Media helps martial arts schools get more students using paid ads, AI-powered follow-up, automated booking, and proven student enrollment systems.

Send us Fan MailHeather and Vanessa interview physicist and homeopath, Judyann McNamara, DHom, CCH, ND, ex-quantum physicist/biologist researcher, and homeopath-founder of the MICH Academy for Holism and Classical Homeopathy. Fascinated by life and living processes, consciousness and spirituality, but disappointed with the incomplete answers biology and medicine provided, Judyann sought to understand the energetic dimension emerging from consciousness that underlies our biology. As neither biophysics nor quantum biology were recognized disciplines in 1976, Judyann did both as separate disciplines and continued in physics research. In 1980 she witnessed the traces left on detectors by biophotons emitted by living cells. This led to studying and being qualified in subtle energy fields, Reiki, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Chinese Medicine, Homeopathy, Naturopathy and Qigong.Holism, the metaphysical container for Quantum Biology provided the container for all the practices.  Recognizing how essential the paradigm shift from mechanism to holism is for the healing of humanity, she founded the International Association of Holistic Professionals.  The IAHP's Friday morning experiential workshops explored healing presence and our challenging cases through the process of Dialog (a la David Bohm) and inquiry. The successes of the cases dialogued, and those of her clinical practice inspired a group of therapists to want to share and teach how to naturally align with Holism as the Force of creation and evolution,  with homeopathy as its central therapy in 2006. For the last 20 years, the MICH Academy for Holism and Classical Homeopathy has changed the lives of thousands of people through its the international 4 year fully accredited apprenticeship practitioner program based on one on one mentorships through live casetaking practice and continues to grow stronger. Judyann continues to keep a toe in research by collaborating with Drs Martin Picard and Nirosha Murugan. Martin and Judyann developed the ground-breaking Energy Resistance Principle during our dialog sessions last year.  Picard's upcoming book Energy has been designed to help readers make the important paradigm shift from the chemical-mechanical model of health to one that is based on Energy and the human experience. Judyann describes mitochondria as quantum organelles operating at the boundary between the material and immaterial—connecting us to the quantum field while transforming captured light into energy. We explore why understanding health may require us to move beyond a purely mechanistic view of the body and toward a truly holistic one.We dive into:✨ Why mitochondria may be understood as a bridge between the material and immaterial✨ The connection between mitochondria, consciousness, and quantum fields✨ How homeopathic remedies communicate information through energetic signatures✨ Why the experience of a symptom may be more important than simply naming the symptom✨ How the default mode network, overthinking, anxiety, and living in our stories can consume enormous amounts of energy✨ Why presence, nature, connection, and heart intelligence may support mitochondrial health✨ Disease as a call toward greater wholeness✨ Moving beyond dualistic thinking and learning to hold opposing experiences as interconnected polarities✨ Why some people become stuck in victim/perpetrator narratives and how shifting perspective requires energy✨ The idea of experiencing ourselves as events rather than objects or nouns✨ How different homeopathic modalities—from remedies and complexes to flower essences and cell salts—can work across different energetic levels✨ Sensitivity, mitochondrial information processing, and why some people respond so strongly to both disease and remedies✨ Potency, information, entropy, and what happens when too much information is introduced at once✨ And how developing greater awareness of our body's signals can help us become active participants in our own healingOne of our favorite themes from this conversation is the idea that suffering itself can be understood as a longing for wholeness—and that healing may involve moving beyond the belief that we are separate from ourselves, each other, nature, and the greater whole.This is a deep conversation that bridges homeopathy, quantum biology, consciousness, and the human experience in a really fascinating way.Connect with Judyann McNamara & MICH:www.michmontreal.com/quantum-health-connectionhttps://webinars.michmontreal.com/Free E-trainingFree conferences and eventshttps://www.facebook.com/michmontreal/https://www.instagram.com/michmontreal/https://www.linkedin.com/school/montreal-institute-of-classical-homeopathy/Support the showFind Heather:Book with HeatherHeather's Free Product Guide with Discount CodesHeather's Instagram Find Vanessa:Vanessa's Instagram Vanessa's Website Free Product Guide with Discount CodesFree Homeopathy at Home Guide Disclaimer: All interviews shared on The Quantum Health Connection Podcast are strictly for educational and entertainment purposes.

What is the underlying energetic connection between the body and mind, and how does overcoming mind-body disconnection address the root causes of our modern mental health crisis? How can practicing simple movements, sound healing, and deep body acceptance help us reclaim our power, peace, and life purpose in an increasingly complex world?   In this episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities: Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health, host Dr. Adriana Popescu welcomes Master Mingtong Gu, a globally recognized teacher, healer, and founder of the Chi Center and the Southwest Sanctuary for Embodied Wisdom. Named Qigong Master of the Year, Master Mingtong trained at China's famous Medicine-Less Hospital under Grand Master Dr. Pang Ming, where thousands healed from incurable conditions using energy alone. Over his career, he has empowered more than 100,000 seekers across 47 countries through Wisdom Healing Qigong. During the conversation, Master Mingtong shares his personal journey of growing up in post-Cultural Revolution China, struggling with poverty, hernia, asthma, and scoliosis, and later discovering Qigong while studying in the United States. He outlines the core philosophy of Wisdom Healing Qigong—a system that integrates teachings from Buddhism, Daoism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and martial arts into an accessible, evidence-informed approach. The discussion dives into the nature of illness, explaining how chronic health diagnoses often point to a conventional medical limitation rather than an absolute boundary on human healing. Master Mingtong leads Dr. Adriana and the audience through a live, experiential meditation centered on three core truths about the body, soul evolution, and energetic presence. He explains that true healing happens when we stop viewing the body as a machine or problem to solve and instead embrace it as our living home. He breaks down how stress and trauma reside in the body and how our tendency to bypass or suppress discomfort leads to distraction, mental health struggles, and addiction. A key highlight of the episode is Master Mingtong's explanation of the three-step framework for energetic transformation: Acceptance, Activation, and Appreciation. He outlines how gentle movement, specific sound healing practices for organ systems, and simple presence help release contracted energy patterns into flowing vitality. This process moves individuals out of victimhood and empowers them to take full responsibility for their health and spiritual awakening. Master Mingtong also discusses his bestselling book, Coming Home to Embodied Awakening: Reclaim Your Body, Your Power, and Your Purpose in the Age of AI, which provides a comprehensive map for reclaiming presence and fulfillment. He emphasizes the urgent need for humanity to ground back into the wisdom of the physical body as technological advancements accelerate. Ultimately, listeners are left with a profound realization: deep healing is a spiritual journey of returning home to oneself. By moving beyond rigid labels, diagnoses, and mental complexity, individuals can tap into the infinite possibilities of energetic wholeness, self-love, and lasting peace.   In This Episode: 00:00 – Introduction to Master Mingtong Gu: Dr. Adriana Popescu introduces Qigong Master Mingtong Gu, founder of the Chi Center, and highlights his training at China's Medicine-Less Hospital. 01:50 – Master Mingtong's Personal Healing Journey: From growing up in post-Cultural Revolution China with severe illness to discovering Qigong in Columbus, Ohio. 08:30 – Rethinking "Incurable" Diagnoses: Exploring how illness serves as a pathway to spiritual awakening and how conventional labels reflect medical limits rather than human potential. 16:00 – Guided Meditation: The Three Truths of the Body: A live experiential exercise connecting with the body, soul evolution, and source energy. 24:30 – Energy, Wholeness, and the Secret of Mind-Body Connection: Understanding how working with energy reveals the interconnected nature of the mind, body, and spirit. 28:30 – The Energetic Roots of the Mental Health Crisis: How mind-body disconnection, bypassing pain, and seeking external distractions lead to suffering and addiction. 34:40 – The 3-Step Framework: Acceptance, Activation, Appreciation: Practical tools using gentle movement, sound healing, and meditation to shift contracted energy into flow. 41:00 – Moving from Complexity to Simplicity in Healing: Why analyzing diagnoses creates mental victims while tuning into simple body sensations yields true empowerment. 43:10 – Coming Home to Embodied Awakening: Master Mingtong discusses his book and why reclaiming embodied presence is vital in the age of AI. 46:40 – Resources & Closing Thoughts: Where to learn more about retreats, online courses, and final words of wisdom on healing.   "When you go to the body realizing it's energy, there are only two patterns: a contracted pattern and an opening, flowing pattern. To embrace the truth inside your body is so liberating and so much simpler than you think." – Master Mingtong   Resources: Master Mingtong's Website: https://mingtonggu.com Chi Center & Retreats: https://mingtonggu.com Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mingtong-gu-60125119/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chicenter/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wisdomhealingqigong/   Featured Book (Coming Home to Embodied Awakening): https://mingtonggu.com You can get the first chapter free here: https://chicenter.pages.ontraport.net/t?orid=280237&opid=2  About Master Mingtong Gu: Master Mingtong Gu is a globally recognized teacher and healer bringing ancient wisdom to humanity's most urgent modern crisis: our disconnection from our own bodies.

Ming Tong's answer is grounded in embodied awakening: the human body lets us directly feel life, including joy, grief, love, discomfort, and the mystery of being here.You'll also get a short guided initiation meditation (hand on heart) you can do immediately, plus practical frameworks for somatic healing and mindfulness: a reframe of suffering as disconnection and liberation as return, and the “Three A's” for working with pain, stress, and emotional overwhelm: acceptance, activation, and appreciation. If you care about mindfulness, nervous system regulation, Qigong, trauma healing, and genuine connection in the age of technology, this is for you.Check out Mingtong's book and explore his teachings, then subscribe, share this with a friend who feels disconnected, and leave a review so more people can find the path back home to their bodies.BECOME A CERTIFIED MINDFULNESS MEDITATION TEACHER Teach mindfulness with confidence and skill — without self-doubt, fear of judgment, or imposter syndrome.

What if the reason you are still exhausted - even though you clean up your diet, you exercise, you sleep seven or eight hours - is not a willpower problem but a biology problem? And what if the labs that told you everything is fine were actually comparing you to the average of an unhealthy population? Jessica Van Antoine was working 90-hour weeks inside a wellness company, masking everything with caffeine, until one day in the middle of a meeting she had to excuse herself, go to her office, and curl up under her desk and cry. Functional lab testing changed everything. And now she helps high-achieving female founders do the same.SUMMARY & GUEST INTROY'all know Erica is the woman who does all the things. The diet. The sleep. The Peloton. The red light therapy mat. The crystals on the floor. And is still dragging herself through the afternoon.

She has spent nearly two decades in health and wellness - as a massage therapist, Shiatsu practitioner, yoga and Qigong instructor - and now applies functional diagnostic nutrition to help women understand the root cause of what their body is actually doing and why.

Jessica was working 90-hour weeks at a wellness company - studying Chinese medicine, building a 500-hour Shiatsu certification program, and doing it all simultaneously. In a meeting, she felt like glass was cracking inside her body. She excused herself, went to her office, and cried on the floor under her desk. Functional lab testing revealed the biological imbalances predisposing her to overwhelm, fragility, and irritability. And once she resourced her body, everything felt different - not because her workload changed, but because she felt bigger than her responsibilities.Why Your Doctor Keeps Saying You're Fine. The normal ranges your traditional doctor uses are taken from the average of everyone who has ever taken that test - including a very unhealthy general population. Functional health uses a much narrower range of what actually constitutes optimal function. If you are not a significant outlier in one direction, you get told you are fine. Even if you are operating at 70% capacity instead of 95%.Your Hormones Are Downstream of Something Else. Most people treat hormone imbalance as the root cause. Jessica treats it as the signal. What is actually causing the hormonal imbalance? Is it blood sugar? Gut inflammation? Adrenal exhaustion? The systems of the body don't operate in silos - and treating only the symptom without finding the source is exactly why so many approaches don't stick.The D.R.E.S.S. Framework and Why Timing Matters. Diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, supplementation - but personalized to what your labs actually show. One client was doing hour-long Peloton rides at 5pm and couldn't sleep. Moving the workout to the morning so her cortisol had time to come down was the only change. Now she sleeps. Jessica breaks down why this approach is completely different from generic wellness advice.You're the Asset. The reason the grinding is working against you is that you are the main asset through which everything else runs.

Marco Montagnani"Il cibo è medicina"La ricerca del benessere tra taoismo e tradizione cinesePrefazione di Franco BerrinoSolferino Libriwww.solferinolibri.it«In Cina, la domanda più comune per salutare qualcuno non è “come stai?”, ma “hai mangiato?”. Una frase semplice che racchiude un'intera filosofia.» Secondo la medicina tradizionale cinese, ciò che assumiamo ogni giorno influenza in modo diretto e continuo il nostro Qi, ossia l'energia vitale. Il confine tra nutrimento e cura dipende spesso da dosaggio, concentrazione e intenzione.Il maestro taoista Marco Montagnani racconta in queste pagine i principi e le virtù di una dietetica millenaria, espressione di una saggezza al tempo stesso profonda e concreta. In questa prospettiva, il cibo non è soltanto piacere o gratificazione immediata, né un semplice calcolo di calorie, ma uno strumento potente per sostenere l'equilibrio e il benessere psico-fisico. È uno degli insegnamenti più significativi maturati durante una lunga esperienza in Estremo Oriente, iniziata quando l'autore aveva appena dieci anni e destinata a segnare profondamente il suo percorso individuale e professionale. Un cammino raccontato con storie e dettagli personali e coinvolgenti che lo ha portato a considerare la cura come una responsabilità interiore, trasformandola in una missione: aiutare ogni giorno migliaia di persone a ritrovare l'equilibrio e a «onorare la vita», coltivandola con consapevolezza anziché consumarla distrattamente.Per mettere in pratica questi principi, è essenziale la parte del libro dedicata a ricette e rimedi naturali, utili per affrontare i disturbi più comuni della vita quotidiana: dal mal di testa all'insonnia, dall'ansia alla stanchezza cronica, fino ai problemi digestivi. Un invito a prendersi cura di sé in modo dolce e profondo, agendo non solo sui sintomi ma anche sulle cause, per raggiungere un benessere autentico e duraturo.Marco Montagnani è laureato in Medicina cinese presso l'Università di Mingxi della provincia del Fujian e in Medicina naturale presso la Central Pacific University, diplomato in Fitoterapia clinica presso l'Università di Viterbo e iscritto alla Società Italiana Fitoterapia clinica (S.I.Fit.). È docente di Tuina e Qigong presso la Federazione Italiana Scuole Tuina e Qigong (FISTQ), docente di Medicina tradizionale cinese e Filosofia taoista presso la Scuola di Agopuntura di Firenze.Insegna Medicina cinese e Qigong presso varie scuole di agopuntura, ed è collaboratore scientifico di alcune riviste di settore. Per Solferino ha pubblicato “Il cibo è medicina”.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Was passiert eigentlich in unserem Körper, wenn wir unter Druck geraten – vor einer wichtigen Präsentation, in einer Krisensituation oder kurz vor dem entscheidenden Wettkampfmoment? Die Antwort liegt in einem oft unterschätzten System: dem autonomen Nervensystem. In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Thomas Landsberg, Gründer von QiFlow-Consulting und Coach für Resilienz, Stressmanagement und Leadership, darüber, wie das autonome Nervensystem funktioniert, warum es über unsere Leistungsfähigkeit mitentscheidet – und wie wir lernen können, es gezielt zu regulieren. Mit der HeartMath®-Methode macht Thomas mittels Echtzeit-Biofeedback sichtbar, was im Körper unter Stress wirklich passiert. Sein Ansatz verbindet moderne, wissenschaftlich fundierte Methoden mit Impulsen aus Qi Gong und Achtsamkeitspraxis. Wir sprechen über die Grundlagen von Sympathikus und Parasympathikus, das Konzept der Herzkohärenz, die Aussagekraft der Herzratenvariabilität (HRV) – und ganz praktisch darüber, wie sich Nervosität in Drucksituationen und im Sport steuern lässt.

Dolly Parton and Gloria Steinem looked nothing alike, but they mastered the same rare skill: they stayed themselves for decades while the whole world tried to hand them a script. That contrast is where we start, because it shines a light on a question so many of us carry quietly, especially in midlife and beyond: when did I stop being a person and start acting like a “brand”? We pull a surprising lesson from Ted Lasso, where the advice to “package it right” gets flipped into something truer: the best brand is just being yourself. From there, we unpack how social media, career identity, caregiving roles, and constant visibility pressure can turn women into careful performers. I share why “Empress energy” is not a costume, a crown, or another label to chase, but an embodiment of confidence, self-trust, and self-leadership that already exists under the layers. You'll hear practical language for getting back to your center through values, not image management. We talk about values as compass points and name the ones that come up again and again in women's wisdom years: authenticity, sovereignty, connection, freedom, creativity, groundedness, integrity, vitality, service, and wisdom. You'll also get a simple prompt to challenge old labels and make one decision this week from what's non-negotiable for you, not what's familiar. If this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who's tired of performing, and leave a review so more women can find Chat Off the Mat.

Modern life can leave us feeling overstimulated, emotionally drained, and disconnected from ourselves. How can we slow down, get grounded, and reconnect with a deeper sense of inner calm? In this episode, I speak with Master Mingtong Gu, an internationally recognized Qigong teacher, healer, and founder of The Chi Center. He has spent decades helping thousands of people cultivate greater well-being through Wisdom Healing Qigong and embodied practices. We explore why so many of us feel disconnected today, how chronic stress affects the mind and body, and how breath, movement, mindfulness, and embodied awareness can help us feel more grounded and present. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or craving more calm and balance, this conversation offers a meaningful path back to yourself.

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland Hurricane Aftermath in Hawaii, ECETI's Rebuilding Effort, and a Call to Look Within Broadcasting from ECETI's storm-battered Big Island property, James Gilliland surveys hurricane and earthquake damage near Naalehu, updates listeners on the ranch's rebuilding needs, and shares his views on chemtrails, disclosure, and spiritual awakening. A Turbulent Flight Into the Big Island James Gilliland opens the broadcast explaining he is now broadcasting from ECETI's Big Island property in Hawaii, after a flight so rough crossing two hurricanes that he compares the plane's motion to breaking a stubborn horse. He tells fellow passengers not to worry, saying he trusts he is shadowed by the Pleiadians whenever he flies. He notes this is his first visit back to the farm since a 6.0 earthquake struck near the property and since the hurricanes tore through the island, calling both events wake-up calls. While writing the show during a thunderstorm, he reflects on how many islanders still lack a roof. He recaps a busy summer back at the ECETI ranch in Washington State, filled with classes, workshops, healing circles, garden work, and sky watches, including nights when he says ships landed in the ranch's field and near Mount Adams, all captured on camera with witnesses present. Storm Devastation and a Cemetery Video Gilliland describes driving from the airport to the ranch and seeing the destruction firsthand: centuries-old trees toppled, rivers of mud and boulders, and stretches of highway near Naalehu washed away, forcing helicopters to deliver food and water. He plays a video clip in which a reporter stands on Kamaoa Road near the Naalehu Cemetery, describing families climbing through mud and fallen headstones to check on relatives' graves. A female resident says she is relieved to find her mother's and grandmother's graves intact, though she worries about families whose loved ones' remains, or iwi, were disturbed lower in the cemetery. A male resident describes coffins surfacing where the lower rows collapsed while the upper section stayed untouched. Gilliland urges listeners to send prayers and donations directly to residents rather than large relief organizations, and voices suspicion that outside buyers are using the disaster to acquire land on the islands. Chemtrails, Vaccines, and a Mosquito Airdrop The host turns to a wide-ranging set of claims about engineered threats to public health, describing a video of mosquitoes and ticks reportedly being air-dropped and comparing the practice to ancient Mesopotamian tales of gods spreading plague on humanity. He argues that vaccines pushed in recent years have caused blood clots and immune damage, particularly in children, and predicts a reckoning he compares to the Nuremberg trials for doctors, politicians, and media figures he says are complicit. He claims more than thirty states have restricted geoengineering and chemtrail spraying, questioning why hurricanes increasingly strike islands with long histories of being spared, and says the Big Island's mountain has diverted storms for fifty years. He tells listeners to grow their own food, buy meat directly from local ranchers, and test their water, framing self-sufficiency as protection against contamination in the food supply. Rebuilding the Ranch and Answering Rumors Returning to practical matters, Gilliland reports that ECETI weathered the earthquake and hurricanes with only downed trees and no structural damage, though the overgrown jungle now needs weeks of clearing before the coffee fields and gathering spaces can be used again. He asks for volunteer coffee pickers and weed whackers through the ECETI website, saying the property runs largely on book sales, counseling fees, and guest stays rather than steady funding. He then addresses what he calls meritless gossip circulating about the ranch, joking that upcoming bestiality ring meetings and orgies will have to be cancelled since no such thing exists, and says only he and one helping couple maintain the land. He argues that when his evidence cannot be discredited, critics attack his character instead, adding that similar smear campaigns have cost him inclusion in ufology conferences and documentaries over the years. Universal Law, Karma, and Going Within Gilliland shifts into an extended spiritual teaching, urging listeners to seek the divine internally rather than through external religious or political authority, describing the body as a temple and citing what he calls Yeshua ben Joseph's warning that others would use his name to build wealth. He describes a coming bifurcation of worlds in which people living with love, service, and integrity thrive on one timeline while those driven by greed and deception face an accelerated karmic reckoning during what he calls a life review after death. He recommends forgiveness, releasing past trauma, and practicing detachment from possessions, and cites the Hawaiian practice of ho'oponopono as a model for making things right rather than seeking revenge. He also criticizes spiritual leaders and ufologists who use loving language publicly while behaving otherwise privately, saying accountability and honesty matter more than appearances of enlightenment. Calling Out Disclosure's Failures Before closing, Gilliland renews his long-standing criticism of official UFO disclosure efforts, arguing that eighty years of government-linked investigation have produced only blurry footage and empty promises while some of the largest UFO organizations quietly receive funding tied to intelligence agencies. He says genuine progress requires releasing honest insiders from secrecy oaths and building an independent research effort based on evidence, a project he says is already underway. He briefly returns to concerns about earthquakes, volcanic activity, and unusual venting reported off the California coast before repeating his call for listeners to look inward rather than to outside saviors, religious or extraterrestrial. He ends the hour with a reminder about ECETI's volunteer program for coffee picking and land maintenance, then promises uplifting whale, dolphin, and manta ray footage, along with possible UFO video, before signing off with Aloha as the show closes with a promotional message about ECETI's workshops and streaming service.

What if the very habits you believe are making you stronger are actually keeping your nervous system trapped in stress, disconnecting you from your intuition, and preventing you from becoming who you really are? In this deeply personal conversation, Darin sits down with holistic health and movement practitioner, coach, former international fashion model, and new father Jules Horn. After years of pushing his body through grueling workouts, rigid routines, and relentless physical discipline, Jules began questioning whether the modern obsession with hustle, extreme fitness, and constant optimization was actually another socially acceptable form of escape. Together, Darin and Jules explore the difference between working out and working in: constantly spending energy versus learning how to cultivate it. Jules explains how marriage and fatherhood have forced him to reconsider routines that once defined his identity and ask a radically different question: instead of seeing how much his body can endure, how can he create enough energy, presence, and inner peace to give more to the people he loves? The conversation moves far beyond physical fitness into childhood programming, nervous system regulation, addiction, grief, self-love, spirituality, stillness, and the extraordinary difficulty modern humans have simply sitting with themselves. Jules shares how revisiting childhood experiences from a regulated state helped him recognize that much of what we experience in the present is being filtered through memories and emotional programs created years or even decades earlier. Ultimately, this episode challenges one of the dominant messages of modern culture: that becoming better requires doing more. Jules argues that some of the greatest transformations may come from doing less, listening more deeply, cultivating self-love, regulating the nervous system, and realizing that the "inner wealth" we're constantly searching for outside ourselves may already be within us. What You'll Learn Why extreme fitness and hustle culture can become socially acceptable forms of escape The difference between discipline and control Why Jules traded constant physical breakdown for energy cultivation How marriage and fatherhood completely changed his relationship with fitness and routine Why addiction can move from drugs or alcohol into exercise, work, food, or self-improvement How childhood experiences can continue programming our choices decades later Why regulating the nervous system can help us confront unresolved emotional patterns How silence, breathwork, and doing nothing can become powerful tools for self-awareness Why cultivating self-love may allow you to become more present for everyone around you How to stop searching outside yourself and begin developing genuine "inner wealth" Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:32 – Sponsor: Alkemis 00:03:24 – Introducing Jules Horn 00:04:50 – Outwitting the Devil and the systems that keep people trapped 00:06:43 – Fear, control, and how populations become easier to influence 00:07:50 – Free thinking, vision, and purpose as the antidote 00:08:46 – Setting your direction when the world throws obstacles at you 00:09:38 – The traffic lesson: surrendering what you cannot control 00:10:02 – Jules realizes his morning routine has become another prison 00:11:03 – The dangerous line between discipline and control 00:11:57 – Why meaningful creation requires boring consistency 00:13:18 – Fasting, energy cultivation, and questioning conventional wisdom 00:14:13 – Is the human body really designed to be pushed this hard?

But eventually you have to ask whether all that movement is actually growth or whether you're simply running from yourself. The deeper work is quieter. Regulate your nervous system. Sit still. Breathe. Listen. Face the memories and patterns you've been carrying. Cultivate enough love and energy within yourself that you actually have something left to give to the people you love. Your path doesn't come from another workout, another device, another guru, or another voice screaming for your attention. The real work begins when everything gets quiet enough for you to finally hear what's already inside you."

What if the future is already visible in the present? In this trailer for Living the Tao Episode 1-197, Master Mikel Steenrod introduces one of the simplest—and most demanding—skills in Taoist training: observation. He explains why his teacher could often predict what was about to happen simply by watching carefully, how judgment interferes with perception, and why learning to see what is actually there can become a form of Taoist practice. The episode then moves into advanced Qigong training and the practice of blessing, where thousands of repetitions can expose an uncomfortable question: is what you believe about yourself actually true? Watching, Blessing, Living explores observation, wu-wei, symbolic truth, qi, and the difference between reality and the stories we tell ourselves.

Meet my qi gong teacher, Peter Caughey from Forest Rock Qigong.Peter is the founder of Forest Rock Qigong, a master teacher in Qigong and Taiji, and a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine with more than 30 years of teaching and clinical experience. (Forest Rock Qigong)Together, we speak about the impact qi gong has on us mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually, as a practice that brings us back into the body, back into presence, and back into a more honest relationship with ourselves.We talk about how qi gong supports the mind to slow down, the body to soften, the emotions to move, and the spirit to feel more connected. It is not about forcing yourself into calm. It is about learning how to listen. Learning how to meet what is here. Learning how to move with life instead of constantly pushing against it.Peter also shares the deeper wisdom of yin and yang, and how life is not about choosing one side over the other. It is the dance between doing and being, strength and softness, effort and surrender, movement and stillness. This conversation is a reminder that we are not meant to live in one mode all the time. We are meant to learn how to respond to the season we are in.We also speak about the Taoist way of wu wei, which is often understood as effortless action. Not doing nothing. Not being passive. But moving in a way that is aligned, natural and in rhythm with life. Knowing when to act, when to pause, when to soften, and when to let life meet you.This episode is for anyone who feels like they have been living from force, pressure, urgency or overthinking, and is ready to return to a steadier way. A way that feels less like pushing, and more like listening. Less like control, and more like trust. Less like being separate from life, and more like being in relationship with it.You can learn more about Peter and Forest Rock Qigong here: https://forestrockqigong.com/You can also explore Peter's 21 Day Online Qigong Challenge here: https://forestrockqigong.com/21-day-qigong-challenge/ (Forest Rock Qigong)Support the show

"Unless we learn how to slow down, we're going to lose ourselves; lose humanity." What if the healing you've been searching for isn't somewhere outside of you, but inside the body you've learned to disconnect from? In this deeply grounding episode of SoulTalk, Kute Blackson sits down with internationally recognized Qigong Master Mingtong Gu, founder of The Chi Center and author of Coming Home to Embodied Awakening, to explore what he believes is one of humanity's greatest crises: our growing disconnection from our own bodies. After a difficult childhood, years of searching, and living with health conditions he had been told were incurable, Mingtong discovered Qigong, and something even more profound than physical healing. He discovered home within himself. Together, Kute and Mingtong explore why living almost entirely in the mind keeps us trapped in anxiety, reactivity, and endless seeking; why technology is intensifying that disconnection; and how returning to the body can reconnect us with our energy, emotions, humanity, and deepest spiritual nature. Mingtong also challenges the way we think about healing. Instead of asking only, "How do I get rid of this pain?" he invites us to ask something deeper: Can I recover myself? This conversation is an invitation to stop running from what you feel, slow down enough to hear your body again, and discover the intelligence, energy, and aliveness that have been waiting inside you all along. Because perhaps awakening isn't about transcending the human experience. Perhaps it's about finally inhabiting it.   TIMESTAMPS (00:02:12) — How Mingtong's search for healing led him to Qigong and self-discovery. (00:08:35) — The realization that changed everything: your body can become your home. (00:09:58) — Why disconnecting from your body may be disconnecting you from yourself. (00:18:15) — A powerful embodied practice to reconnect with your physical and spiritual presence. (00:22:05) — What to do when you hate, judge, or feel betrayed by your own body. (00:28:50) — Stop asking only how to heal the disease. Ask how to recover yourself. (00:36:58) — How to move through fear, anger, and emotional pain without getting lost in the story. (00:42:57) — Why slowing down may be one of the most important acts of resistance in the age of AI.   SOME QUESTIONS I ASK How do we begin coming home to our bodies? What if I hate or feel betrayed by my body? Can anything truly be healed? How do we release difficult emotions? Why is practice more powerful than a quick fix? How do we stay human in the age of AI? IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN Why you may feel disconnected even when your life looks fine. How to stop living entirely inside your head. Why your body may be the doorway to deeper healing. How to meet pain and emotion with radical acceptance. Why slowing down can help you reclaim your power and presence. How to come home to the energy and wisdom already inside you.   GET IN TOUCH: Mingtong Gu https://mingtonggu.com Create a life that is a masterpiece.

What happens when a wellness expert becomes the patient? In this episode of Let’s Talk Wellness Now, Dr. Deb sits down with Danielle to share her deeply personal and inspiring journey through thyroid cancer, Lyme disease, and the long road of recovery that followed. What emerges is a powerful story about the mind-body-spirit connection and how healing often asks more of us than medicine alone can give. Danielle opens up about how martial arts, visualization, and faith became central to her recovery, and how learning to regulate her nervous system changed the course of her healing.

In this episode, Lorne Brown speaks with psychotherapist, Hakomi teacher, author, and acupuncturist Lorena Monda about the practice of wholeness and what creates deep, lasting transformation. Lorena explores why constantly searching outside ourselves for the next solution may only take us so far—and why curiosity, awareness, and a willingness to experience what is happening within us can open a different path.Together, they discuss unconscious patterns, the connection between body, mind, emotion, and spirit, and how the body can reveal beliefs and experiences we may not consciously recognize. Lorena also explains why acceptance is more than a mental idea, how giving up the fight with ourselves can create meaningful change, and how greater inner coherence can transform the way we experience relationships, emotions, and everyday life.Key Takeaways:Lasting transformation isn't necessarily about fixing yourself—it can begin with becoming curious about what is already happening within you.Feelings can act as a bridge between the body and mind, revealing patterns that thinking alone may not uncover.Our unconscious patterns can be shaped by family, culture, society, and experiences we may not realize still influence us.Acceptance is an embodied experience, not simply something we convince ourselves to believe.Greater wholeness can change relationships by helping us accept ourselves, allow others to be themselves, and become more open to change.Where to find Lorena Monda:Website: https://www.lorenamonda.com/ Book “The Practice of Wholeness”: https://www.amazon.com/Practice-Wholeness-Spiritual-Transformation-Everyday/dp/0967813700/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+practice+of+wholeness&qid=1573445284&sr=8-1 Lorena Monda's Bio:Lorena Monda, MS, DOM, LPCC, is a certified trainer and therapist for the Hakomi Institute.

Susan Herman, LCSW, is a veteran clinical social worker with over three decades of experience spanning child welfare, residential treatment, military social work, and international healing initiatives in Vietnam. In this episode of If You've Come This Far, Susan joins Chris and Shaun to discuss her book, Breaking Up with the Patriarchy, and why true personal fulfillment requires deconstructing our relationship with dominant cultural norms.Rather than framing patriarchy solely as male dominance, Susan defines it as a 10,000-year-old "dominator worldview"—a framework built on fear, hyper-individualism, competition, and consumption. Drawing on Indigenous wisdom, clinical practice, and her own transformative life experiences, Susan offers a practical, pragmatic roadmap toward a kinship-centered worldview grounded in radical presence, bodily intuition, reciprocity, and long-term stewardship for future generations.Key Takeaways:The Abusive Relationship with Our Worldview: Why the 10,000-year-old dominator paradigm traps us in a cycle of compliance, consumption, and empty achievement.Early Roots of Empathy: How childhood encounters with Holocaust survivors and early callings shaped Susan's lifelong dedication to healing.Sovereignty Over Authority: Moving away from outsourcing authority to institutions, and stepping into personal sovereignty paired with relational accountability.Reimagining Needs: Comparing Maslow's hierarchy with the Blackfoot Nation's framework of self-actualization, community actualization, and 7th-generation perpetuity.Fear vs. Intuition: Why most fears are socially programmed to maintain the status quo, and how body-centered practices (Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga) release stored trauma.Duty to Purpose: Shifting daily existence from "have to" (duty/obligation) to "get to" (purpose/meaning).Musical Closing: Susan shares a live, heartfelt rendition of the Prayer of St. Francis.Resources Mentioned: Susan's book: Breaking Up with the PatriarchyThe Hope Effect by Dr. Stephen TrzeciakMaking Peace with Vietnam (Documentary film by Stephen Emanuel)Research by Four Arrows (Don Trent Jacobs) & Darcia Narvaez on Indigenous WorldviewsMental App (getmental.com)

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS: What if the reason humanity feels exhausted isn't because life is too hard—but because we've forgotten how to feel?Master Mingtong Gu didn't set out to teach spirituality—he was responding to a world overwhelmed by anxiety, disconnection, and constant mental noise. Why do so many people feel numb in their own bodies? Why does seeking enlightenment often create more tension instead of peace? And why has modern spirituality overlooked the very place awakening begins?In this conversation, Master Gu draws from Taoist wisdom and Qigong practice to reveal awakening as a return to embodied awareness—not belief, effort, or transcendence. As humanity enters a profound shift in consciousness, this discussion reframes healing, presence, and spiritual growth through the body itself—offering a path that feels grounding, humane, and deeply alive.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.

Your mind can think its way into knots, but your body already knows how to come home. Sean Fargo sits down with longtime Qigong teacher, Taoist meditation guide, and author Solala Towler to explore a simple, practical reset: bring attention down into the belly. We talk about the lower dantian as the foundation of Taoist practice, and why “understanding” the Tao is less about collecting ideas and more about doing the breathing, movement, and stillness that changes how you live day to day.From there we wander into story and source. Solala shares the legendary tale of Lao Tzu leaving a crumbling society and writing the Tao Te Ching at the last gate, then disappearing into the wilderness. It becomes a lesson in clarity, humility, and letting nature finish the teaching. We also unpack what Solala calls Source, another name for Tao: the sacred, nameless ground where being arises and where we return, especially when modern speed and distraction pull us away from what is natural.We get concrete with practices and maps you can use right away, including “manzou” (go slowly) as a lived mindfulness method, plus Taoist organ balancing through the five phases used in Chinese medicine. Solala explains how organs link to emotional qualities like anger, joy, worry, grief, and fear, and how breath, qigong, tai chi, and acupuncture all aim at one thing: restoring the free flow of qi through the body's meridians.If this conversation helps you feel more grounded, share it with a friend, subscribe for more guided mindfulness, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.BECOME A CERTIFIED MINDFULNESS MEDITATION TEACHER Teach mindfulness with confidence and skill — without self-doubt, fear of judgment, or imposter syndrome.

What if healing the body also requires healing what's happening within the mind?In this episode of AWAKEN with Nathan, we explore how chronic stress, emotional wounds, unresolved trauma, and the inputs we consume can influence the nervous system and our overall well-being. From meditation and silence to Qigong and emotional healing, the conversation explores what can happen when we stop living in constant fight-or-flight and begin creating the internal conditions for healing.One powerful takeaway: accept the diagnosis, but don't let a prognosis define what you believe is possible.CONNECT WITH NATHAN CRANE Coaching: https://theawakenprocess.com Website: https://nathancrane.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NathanCrane Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathancraneofficial Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NathanCraneOfficialPage X: https://x.com/nathancrane TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrnathancrane#AwakenWithNathan #NathanCrane #MindBodyConnection #NervousSystem #EmotionalHealing #HolisticHealth

A gentle yet powerful blend of ancient wisdom and modern wellness that shows how seasonal living can enrich your days. In the Chinese Five Element system, which links nature's cycles to our emotional, physical, and spiritual selves, there are five seasons: spring, summer, late summer, fall, and winter. You can feel the energy of that fifth season when the air gets cooler, the light turns golden, and we enjoy a few weeks of transition from the active energy of spring and summer to the calming, restorative energy of fall and winter. Leda Elliott grew up in Japan and has long been a student of the dialogue between East and West, between body and spirit. Drawing from decades of experience in holistic practices, Leda has developed a unique method for embracing the lessons we can learn from each season—late summer brings grounding, fall brings release, winter brings stillness, spring brings vision, and summer brings joy. Incorporating rituals, meditations, and exercises attuned to each season's energy can help us feel more aligned. Things like the foods we eat, the colors we wear, and where we focus our attention can all deepen our sense of connection to ourselves and the world. Leda's peaceful spirit radiates onto the page in a book offering tips and exercises, personal stories, illustrations, and testimonials from her students. These heartfelt narratives demonstrate how ancient practices can meet the challenges of modern life, providing support for those navigating grief, stress, and fatigue. The Five Seasons Method: A Gentle Path toward Emotional and Spiritual Balance (Scribner, 2026) will help readers of all ages and abilities get their energy back into balance, one breath and one season at a time. Leda Elliott is a Tai Chi Master, Reiki Master, and the creator of The Five Seasons Method, a wellness program that integrates Tai Chi, QiGong, breathwork, and seasonal energy principles to help individuals cultivate balance, vitality, and inner harmony. She trained under legendary Tai Chi Grandmaster Bow Sim Mark and is the owner of A Thousand Cranes Studio, where she offers in-person classes, private coaching, Reiki healing, and global online workshops.  For more information please visit this website.

This week I'm joined by Will Mccandles, a health coach whose path to healing has taken him from the mountains of Thailand to the jungles of the Amazon. As a patient, student, and practitioner, Will has consistently gone to the source, learning directly from the indigenous teachers and lineage keepers who hold these traditions. Today's he's built a successful practice around health coaching, biofeedback, qi gong, Kambo, and more.In this episode we get into his own health crisis and how it shaped the way he now guides others back to their bodies.It was beautiful to listen to Will's story unfold from being pathologized as a child to becoming someone who really trusts his intuition and isn't afraid to go all in for his own health and in following his dreams. Highlights: - How an ADHD diagnosis spiraled into being diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and the years on medication that left him feeling lost and disconnected- Coming off his meds with herbs and landing a new diagnosis, bipolar with psychotic features, and what that taught him about the medical system- A tick bite on a California farm that sent his health into a freefall, and the long road through misdiagnosis before finally learning it was Lyme- The wild, multi-country journey he made from Costa Rica to Spain during COVID lockdown just to be with his daughter- What an Ayahuasca ceremony revealed about his body's breakdown, and how that became the foundation for the work he does todayConnect and Work with Will: https://www.advancemywellness.com/ https://www.instagram.com/will.wellness/ Learn more about the School of Whispers: www.schoolofwhispers.comIf you'd like to learn more about working with me, click here.

Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, he pursued undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan before earning his Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine (NCNM) in Portland, Oregon, where he attended on a Hahnemann Scholarship. From 1980 to 1984, he directed the homeopathy program at NCNM and also served on the faculty at Bastyr University. Throughout his career, Dr. Murphy taught homeopathy, Oriental medicine, Tai Chi, and Qigong, helping educate practitioners and students around the world. Dr. Murphy is best known for authoring several influential reference works in homeopathy, including the Homeopathic Medical Repertory (later expanded as Murphy's MetaRepertory), Lotus Materia Medica (now published as Nature's Materia Medica), and Keynote Materia Medica. These texts are widely used by homeopathic practitioners and educational institutions internationally.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives: From the Archives, we revisit a fascinating conversation with author, researcher, and longtime explorer of the unexplained, David Weatherly.David is a true Renaissance man of the strange and supernatural.

From haunted castles and remote islands to ancient sacred sites and modern paranormal hotspots, David has dedicated much of his life to pursuing the unknown. His fascination with the unexplained began at an early age, fueled by ghost stories, strange creature encounters, and UFO reports. Influenced by legendary researchers and writers such as John Keel, Jacques Vallée, and Hans Holzer, David eventually began conducting his own investigations into the mysterious.But his approach to the paranormal extends far beyond traditional investigation. Throughout his travels, David has studied shamanic, mystical, and magical traditions from cultures around the world. He has spent time with Taoist masters in China, Tibetan Lamas, Native American and African tribal elders, and shamans from numerous traditions. He has also explored subjects ranging from alchemy and divination to Qigong, Ninjutsu, energy work, and ceremonial magic. That unusual background gives David a unique perspective on paranormal phenomena and the strange entities people have encountered throughout history.David is the founder of Eerie Lights Publishing and the author of numerous books, including Strange Intruders, Eerie Companions, the Monsters of America series, and the Haunted series. He has appeared on Coast to Coast AM, Ancient Aliens, Mysteries of the Outdoors, Beyond Belief, On the Trail of UFOs, and many other programs.So settle in as we head back into the archives for a conversation with one of the most well-traveled researchers of the strange and unusual, David Weatherly.All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives: From the Archives.Find out more about David Weatherly and his work at Eerie Lights Publishing.

In this episode, Niall speaks with Liam McClintock, a Yale graduate, former Buddhist monk, and founder of FitMind, a meditation training platform that helps people move beyond stress reduction into deeper states of awareness and well-being. After leaving a career in finance, Liam spent three years training in monasteries across Asia, studying under Bhante Vimalaramsi and learning advanced meditation practices, including jhana states and forgiveness meditation. He recently published his first book, “FitMind”, which brings together neuroscience and contemplative practice in practical tools for everyday life. In this conversation, they explore: — Why happiness supports meditation, not the other way around — How predictive processing theory helps explain why meditation reduces suffering — The neuroscience of jhana states and their role in reshaping the mind — A forgiveness practice for letting go of emotional baggage — The four-step framework for training attention: recognize, release, relish, and remain You can learn more about Liam's work at fitmind.org. --- Liam is the founder of FitMind, a mental fitness training platform that provides evidence-based programmes for individuals and organisations, including Uber. After studying history at Yale University and briefly working in finance, he left his career in 2018 to become a certified yoga and meditation teacher in Bali. His interest in the mind grew from a childhood diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), leading him to explore psychology, lucid dreaming, and a wide range of contemplative traditions. His training has included Theravada Buddhism in India, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia; Indigenous shamanism in Peru and Mexico; Boabom, an ancient Tibetan martial art, in Chile; Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga in Indonesia and Nepal; Tibetan Buddhist practices in Bhutan; and Dzogchen, Mahamudra, Qi Gong, and other contemplative disciplines in the United States. Liam later completed a Master of Science in Applied Neuroscience at King's College London, where his dissertation examined the neural correlates of advanced nondual meditation. Liam has since become a Buddhist monk to deepen his meditation practice and has participated in consciousness research at Harvard University. He has also advised on advanced meditation training for Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. Drawing on both scientific research and first-hand contemplative experience, Liam's work bridges neuroscience and ancient wisdom traditions to help people cultivate greater mental fitness, resilience, and wellbeing. He believes that making mental fitness an accessible and enjoyable part of everyday life has the potential to improve both individual lives and society as a whole. --- Interview Links: — Liam's website: https://fitmind.org — Liam's book: https://amzn.to/3RJGOum — Fitmind Courses: https://fitmind.org/module — Fitmind Podcast: https://fitmind.org/learn

Send Us a Message!Your body already knows how to come home, but most of us were taught to live in our heads. We sit down with Peter A. Petersen, a longtime Qigong practitioner and instructor (24 years), meditation teacher, and dance facilitator, to get practical about what embodiment actually is and how to build it through movement, breath, music, and real-time choice.Peter tells the story of his first Qigong workshop and the surprising “trance-like” clarity it sparked: relaxed, present, and suddenly able to feel energy moving through everything. From there we unpack how Qigong, Reiki, yoga, and tantra all point to the same core skill: shifting from past and future into the now so your nervous system can regulate, your intuition can speak, and your creativity can come online. We also talk about why the mind is a helpful first mate but a terrible captain, and how agency grows when your yes and no come from the body instead of fear or people-pleasing.We zoom in on community spaces that support sober connection, including the Austin's Embodiment Festival (Sept 18 to 20). Peter shares how he curates a welcoming, spacious container with an ebb and flow of modalities, plus standout practices like Latihan (blindfolded movement meditation that trains intuition and consent) and a five elements dance journey that moves from grounded to expansive. We close with a grounded reframe of tantra: not a technique checklist, but the ongoing practice of removing what blocks aliveness, intimacy, and authentic connection.Subscribe for more conversations on embodiment, energy healing, Qigong, tantra, and nervous system care, then share this with a friend who needs more presence and less pressure.

Most subjects of a recent study who slept on pads connected to the ground, as part of an earthing protocol, gained significant relief from arthritis, asthma, PMS, sleep apnea and hypertension. We're a generation that's uniquely separated from the Earth. We spend much of our lives in cars, we live in high-rises, and spend the majority of our days working indoors. Why does this matter? Because we're electric beings who actually need the negative ions from standing in the ground, the ocean and even on rocks to support our health outcomes. In this episode Doctor Chris Motley explains why we need negative ions from the ground, the dirt and the sea to help our bodies ward off illness, why this health trend is actually an ancient (and free!) form of medicine, and the two most important things to keep in mind if you're shopping grounding mats. Whether you're a skeptic or a true believer, try sinking your bare feet in the ground at some point during your week. It's easy, free and it can't hurt to get the benefits of spending time outdoors. In this episode you'll learn: You don't need to buy anything to practice grounding. This is a free and easy protocol that every human being has access to. How our bodies follow electrical patterns (even as embryos!) which is why we need negatively charged ions from the earth that support our health. Negative ions in the body help energize our mitochondria and detoxify our bodies. What the research on grounding has found and what it hasn't. The benefits of grounding and earthing for your nervous system. How PEMF mats support your blood flow. How the earth has proven frequencies like the Schumann Resonance that lower blood pressure and encourage parasympathetic tone. How to avoid parasites while sinking your feet into the dirt. If grounding pads and mats are worth it and two of the most important things to keep an eye out for when shopping for them. How the modern idea of grounding actually taps into the ancient Chinese Medicine tradition of rooting in Qigong. The kidney points responsible for pulling those electric charges up through your body.
