Breathe Deep Newsletter

Breathe Deep Newsletter - Contains current events, China trips, upcoming Qigong seminars, and observations and insight on the practice and philosophy of Qigong:

"I know in the depths of my wisdom that I create this world I experience each day… I create it through the overt choices that I make which guide the flow of my outward life… and I create it through the subtle energy shifts that come from the thoughts and intentions I hold, from the Qi (life-force energy) field I generate around me, and from the unconscious holdings and emotions that I carry with me. It appears that we "attract" what we think and feel… I believe it goes to another level and that we resonate at a certain harmonic and this actually molds the world around us. It's almost too simplistic and misleading to say that we attract and draw in what we hold in our minds. I see the tremendous power each of us has to actually shift and change the subtle energy field around us and "create" our world. This sounds like a mental exercise or word play, but I think there is an important, albeit subtle difference… To "attract" means that you assume that something is already out there; accepting a duality where "you" seek/avoid something outside yourself. On the other hand, to "create" only allows for a unified field where there is nothing outside you… it immerses you in a state of total responsibility where you acknowledge and embrace your interconnection with all you experience".

Qi Magazine - Download Qi Magazine -- for FREE
Qi Magazine was founded in 1990 by Michael Tse as a means of helping his students learn more about Chinese culture. Often his students would ask the same or similar questions in class and so he felt he could benefit more people with his knowledge by offering the Qi Magazine to them and also a wider audience. The magazine grew from a small black and white booklet to a proper magazine that was distributed all over the world. Qi Magazine has now ceased production, but not after 18 years and 90 issues all packed with rare and unique articles covering all aspects of Chinese Qigong, martial arts, culture and philosophy. This wealth of information is now available to everyone as you can now download every single issue of Qi Magazine ever produced, in .pdf format for free. A number of printed issues are available to purchase in sets.

Social Relationships and Health. Social relationships—both quantity and quality—affect mental health, health behavior, physical health, and mortality risk. Sociologists have played a central role in establishing the link between social relationships and health outcomes, identifying explanations for this link, and discovering social variation (e.g., by gender and race) at the population level. Studies show that social relationships have short- and long-term effects on health, for better and for worse, and that these effects emerge in childhood and cascade throughout life to foster cumulative advantage or disadvantage in health. This article describes key research themes in the study of social relationships and health, and it highlights policy implications suggested by this research.

National Qigong Association (NQA) - Qigong Membership Organization

"Like any other system of health care, Qigong is not a panacea, but it is certainly a highly effective health care practice. Many health care professionals recommend Qigong as an important form of alternative complementary medicine. Qigong creates an awareness of and influences dimensions of our being that are not part of traditional exercise programs. Most exercises do not involve the meridian system used in acupuncture nor do they emphasize the importance of adding mind intent and breathing techniques to physical movements. When these dimensions are added, the benefits of exercise increase exponentially. The gentle, rhythmic movements of Qigong reduce stress, build stamina, increase vitality, and enhance the immune system. It has also been found to improve cardiovascular, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic, and digestive functions." 

The National Qigong Association is a membership community of Qigong enthusiasts, open to all and working together to promote Qigong. The NQA website hosts information on Qigong, including selected articles on research, varieties of Qigong, and easy to learn and practice Qigong.
