Qi among the Trees

Over the years, I have learned so much from my students. Teaching is such a treasure of energy sharing I feel so uplifted. And love those Ahh-ha moments, the looks on the students’ faces when they feel it or when they actually get it! ☮️❤️👣😎☯️ it’s truly an honor to be a part of their journey.

The idiom 教学相长 (jiào xué xiāng zhǎng) translates to "teaching and learning promote each other." It originates from the Xue Ji (学记), an ancient text in the Liji (礼记, Book of Rites), a classical Confucian work. In this context, the phrase describes the mutually beneficial relationship between teacher and student, where both parties grow through the process of teaching and learning.

In contemporary settings, this idiom applies well beyond formal education. It suggests that any role involving guidance—whether in mentorship, coaching, or leadership—benefits from a reciprocal exchange where both parties are enriched. This idiom is often cited to remind teachers, leaders, and mentors that learning is an unending journey, one in which humility and openness to new insights are essential for true growth.

So true, you just have to practice Qigong on a regular basis to experience the benefits. ☮️💕👣😎☯️

What does it take to become proficient in Tai Chi and Qigong?

In an interview featured in MysticMag, Dr. Roger Jahnke shares how ancient practices like Tai Chi and Qigong can be transformative and enhance health and well-being.

The following excerpt highlights that you can start small, commit to consistent practice, and unlock the profound benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being:

"To make progress in Tai Chi or Qigong, there's a cost, but not just financial — there's the investment of time, focus, and presence. Engaging in a practice like this requires curiosity and a commitment to self-development. It's easy to avoid this by saying, "I don't have time," or "I'll just follow someone else's advice." But true growth comes from making the decision to prioritize your physical, mental, and emotional well-being with a daily practice.

You can start for free—there are plenty of Qigong videos online. If you want more guidance, there are teachers, classes, and communities you can join. The real cost is choosing to invest in yourself, letting go of old habits, and embracing a mindful, purposeful practice.

This path doesn't require esoteric knowledge; it's based on simple, practical principles: posture, breath, presence. These principles help align your body, mind, and spirit, creating harmony and balance. In doing so, you gain control over the things that matter most, rather than being overwhelmed by external factors."

I started my Tai Chi & Qigong practice looking for some type of exercise that would not irritate my sciatica. Little did I know how it would help me with so many other areas of my life. One thing I found out was you learn more, and get more benefits the more you do it. ☮️💕👣😎☯️

The Holistic Health Benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong Practice

In this interview excerpt from MysticMag, Dr. Roger Jahnke discusses the essential benefits of practicing Tai Chi and Qigong, contrasting them with the common desire for quick fixes in health and wellness.

"There are two paths: one where people want quick fixes—herbs, treatments, surgeries—and another where they embrace practices like Tai Chi and Qigong. Many people are hesitant to try these practices, thinking they don't have time or that it seems foreign or spiritual.

But real change requires personal commitment. That's why, before I stopped my clinical practice, I required patients to attend two Qigong classes and a life coaching session. Engaging in Qigong or Tai Chi demands a commitment to personal growth, both physically and emotionally. These practices promote self-awareness, mindfulness, and managing emotions by focusing on simple yet powerful principles: proper posture, breathwork, and relaxation.

The health benefits are immense. A deeper breath increases oxygen flow, supports cell function, and activates the lymphatic system to remove toxins. Adjusting posture creates space for organ function, and relaxation triggers neurotransmitters like endorphins, serotonin, and oxytocin, promoting pain relief, rest, and trust.

In essence, these mind-body practices harmonize energy (Chi) in the body, offering a multitude of physiological and emotional benefits at virtually no cost—just a little time and dedication."

“Be curious, be brave, it’s time to look at your life with all it’s opportunities as a gift to be cherished. Do not fear, as it is written in the sky! Fill your heart with abundant love and all will be as it should be, Loving and Fulfilling.”

I am so glad I took the chance and tried Tai Chi Chuan in 8/8/88. My dear friend told me to try it I would love it, and I did so many years later I continue to benefit from learning and practicing this ancient art of moving meditation.
