Centering
My cousin Sheldon was in town a few weeks ago.
We always stay in touch by phone, but I haven’t
seen him in years.
Sheldon 6 years my senior and my memories of him
are of a big strong guy. When I was a kid he rode
a huge Harley, he was in the gym all the time,boxed
andhe could kick your butt if he needed too.
The last time I saw him I was in California
many years ago he was quite muscular,
but this time he was walking with a cane
and in pain.
He had an operation 2 years ago and was still
experiencing the pain.The operation was a success,
according to the doctor and in all the testing he
was perfect.
His doctor said that there shouldn’t be any pain
but if there was, it’s just one of those things
and he’d just have to live with it.
Shel was having muscle memory of the trauma
and operation and he was somewhat stuck with
the pain still in his body and mind.
I convinced him to come into the office and with
only few treatments he left pain free.
Yes, no pain.
He couldn’t believe it. He had no idea that with a
few simple treatments he could be free of a two
year nightmare.
This is a common experience of many of my patients.
When the memory of pain gets locked in to the mind
and muscle,even if the body heals there is still
a nagging pain.
It was somewhat of a miracle to him to be
pain free.
This happens often as long as the patient is
willing to step outside the box and let go of
their per-conceived ideas around health
and healing.
When he left Miami he was walking on his own
without that walking stick and
HE LOOKED and FELT TEN YEARS YOUNGER.
I was pleasantly surprised this week when I
received a large box with one of his paintings
in it as a thank you.
It’s called “Center Ring”.
It’s now is a permanent part of Dr. Wu’s
growing art collection.
As I reflected on it and what Center-ring
or Centering meant to me. I ask myself what
is it to be centered or to keep ones center.
Is being centered more of a physical state
concerning center of gravity, natural posture
and movement or is it just a state of mind?
We are always trying to maintain homeo stasis or
balance.
I believe that being centered is to live in the
immediate and ever changing balance of all systems,
centering is a technique
to help you ‘stay in the present’ and discard
negative or distracting thoughts.
To keep myself centered I have built in a discipline
that works. Every morning I get up before day break to
begin my training.
I do the Recharging Qi Gong exercises and then move
into the Crain style Qi Gong set.
The Key is the regular time and consistence.
The body loves routine, doing the same thing
at the same time day in and day out.
Start practicing daily build in the habit and
join me in staying healthy.
Worship a Furry Rat Day
Today is the 2nd of February, Groundhog Day. A day when people from all walks of life converge on the small town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to see what a large Groundhog will predict.
Now how strange is that?
Folklore has it that if the groundhog a large furry rodent comes out of it’s hole looks around and sees his shadow, old man winter will keep his clutches on and the cold weather for six more weeks in the United States. If he doesn’t see it, then spring will be here soon.
I was looking at the official Punxsutawney Groundhog Day website and they list the tradition as being a blend of ancient Christian and Roman customs. Every February thousands of people come out freezing their asses off waiting in the cold to worship a furry rat. They used to pull that little sucker out of his burrow, and eat him. Lucky for the groundhog they changed the rules or he would be stew tonight.
In the news this morning the little dude, that they named Phil saw his shadow and winter will hold its grip on us a little longer.
I was reflecting on this tradition and found it strange that people believe this is a judge or prediction of what’s to come and they doubt if Chinese medicine really works.
Did you know that acupuncture is the most used medical treatment in the world?
It’s a proven form of medicine that is thousands of years old that works for:
Migraine
Pain Management
Stress
Dermatological
Mental Emotional
Eyes Ears Nose and Throat
Infections
Muscular Skeletal and Neurological
Urinary and Reproductive
The list goes on and on and yet people are always asking if acupuncture and Medical
Qi Gong works.
I think the real question is will it work for me?
The “ME” is the key word here. If you don’t exercise, eat a healthy diet and have bad thoughts running through your mind most of the day, you will experience some form of dis-ease sooner or later.
Many of these mental emotional problems comes from Worry, Struggle and Blame they are known as the three poisons in the Buddhist system.These emotions keep us stuck and although the physical form is important preoccupation with personal health and well-being is not in itself, spiritual fulfillment. That’s something we all need for our growth. I am not talking about religion but internal growth.
The reason I started the website, the blog, the classes and workshops and the different products is to bring the message of health, and spiritual growth to you.
Every week I add new info to the website www.Rechargingqigong.com , to the blog and now I am on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/drwudhi.
But, If you want the top-secret information it is only given to the members of the www.Qigongcircle.com
It is truly high-level info that I always reserve for those who train with me month-in and month-out.
I receive emails daily asking me for info on Internal Exercise, Diet, Meditation and Health and Spiritual practices from men and women all over the world, and these well-meaning people want me to give them all sorts of advice.
I have been busting my behind to keep up with all the requests and I truly would love to continue to do this, but with a full medical practice, writing, teaching and making CD’s and DVD’s my days are full.
I realized I had better develop a different map – otherwise I was going to dump the baby out with the bath water and sacrifice my own health and well being.
So I found a way to separate the doer’s from the non DOERS by creating the Qigong inner circle – a “members only” program where YOU can get access to me and have me answer your questions and send you the real goods.
As well as that, you will be on the monthly conference calls and receive the members only teachings on DVD’s every month.
Now the monthly fee for joining the Qigong Inner Circle is just $29.95 US. per month (automatically billed to your credit card every 30 days but cancelable and refundable at any time after the test-drive if you’re not pleased).
You can still join as a trial member for just $1.00 for a limited time. Soon the membership will be going up to $39.95 a month.
Say “YES” to a one-month test drive now and we’ll send out the DVD along with the free gift.
And if for any reason you don’t find the program to your taste, just let me know and we’ll remove you from the Qigong Inner Circle so that there are no more charges.
So jump on this one today, my friend. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Important: this offer expires very soon. Maybe later today. Act NOW!
I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness

Should you Detox for the Chinese New Year?
I received a letter from one of my dear friends and students.
This is what she said, “Dear Dr. Wu, Your U-Tube teachings
are great and came at the perfect time.
I cleared all rooms in my home just a bit ago.
Question – does the container have to be metal or
is that for fire protection? I have a heavy ceramic bowl that is made for clearing
and used it this time. ???”“I love the your you tube bits of wisdom, Your exuberant
energy makes me giggle – which is good – excellent – thanks for the review on the
basic power exercise – I was getting sloppy with mine.”
“When I cleared my office/guest room the phrase “new possibilities”
surfaced – again thanks for the exercise.”
Joy to You
Thanks for writing Joy. The metal bowl is more for safety than anything else.
Sometimes the ceramic ones get too hot and crack causing a mess or worse.
Safety is #1. The Epson salt clearing technique has been used for hundreds
of years to clear out one’s space. I learned it in the 70’s and shared it with
hundreds and hundreds of people who have all reported great results.
What I suggest is clean the house first, and then do the Epson Salt clearing.
If you don’t have Epson salt you can use regular salt. I’ve used the Kosher salt
before and it works just as well. Here is the youtube link once again
http://youtube.com/drwudhi.
I suggest download it while you can, as I’ll take it down in a few weeks
to be locked in my archives.
I am about to make some really great changes in my life and practice.
I have more products hitting the market in the next few months.
I am opening a new office in downtown Miami and I’ll be doing more
on You Tube this year. As the Chinese year of the Ox ends and we are
moving into the New Year of the Tiger on the 14 of February,
the book Turn Stress into Power have been flying off the shelves.
http://rechargingqigong.com/turn-stress-into-power.html
This is one of the best times to start a- new and clean up your space
and purify your system. A great time of the year to detox yourself
from old and stale energy inside and out. What I’ve done is totally
clean my house, give away things that I don’t need or use and I did the
Epson Salt cleansing and now I’m clearing my body/mind with the
2 weeks Detox program.

Dr Wu Dhi is Now on You Tube
It was 3 weeks ago when George wrote me and asked if
I’d be willing to share some of my Qi Gong work-outs and
other internal practices on You Tube.
At first I thought that he was off his rocker!
Asking me to teach these sacred teachings to the
world on You Tube? I have spent more than 30 years
learning from masters from Tibet, China, India,
Europe and the Good Old USA.
I grumbled to myself for a moment and then after that,
I decided to shoot a few short clips and share these
valuable teachings with everyone.
So off I went to the beach with my camera and tri-pod
in hand to see what I could do.
My first few attempts were a disaster. I either cut off
my head, was too far to the right or left of camera.
I did shoot a great one and then realized I forgot to
take the lens cap off.
One time I was standing so far away from the camera you
couldn’t hear a word that I was saying.
But I was determined to get it. Day after day,
I set up the camera until,
Bingo! I got it. “The Dr. Wu Show” is now on You Tube.
It’s not really a show, but every morning I bring the
camera and a student or two who will shoot a 1 or 2
minute cut of one of the teachings.
Check it out at http://youtube.com/drwudhi.
It’s a lot of fun for me to share the teachings
and people from all over have been learning more and more.
Be sure to turn your friends on to it

Of course it’s not all the goods, but it gives you a taste.

How to Stay Hard and Strong
21 degrees in Florida this morning and that’s
a record breaker. Miami Beach is warmer 29 but with that breeze coming off the ocean its dam cool at my house.
Never the less I was up early walked down to
the beach and did my TRAINING AS USUAL.
The Recharging Qi Gong exercises increases power,
warms the kidneys and gives you more sexual strength
and if one gets all that, who wouldn’t want to train.
www.rechargingqigong.com
“He who fails to train, Trains to fail”.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys
are responsible for our growth, development, reproduction,
bone marrow production, temperature regulation, the
function of brain and spinal cord, controls the strength
of bones,and fluid metabolism. If your kidneys are deficient
you could have signs and symptoms which will include:
Exhaustion, feeling cold all the time, swollen face,
swollen extremities, memory loss, hair loss, hearing
problems, decreased sexual drive, brittle bones,
teeth problems, sore back and knees, frequent pale
urination, incontinence, high blood pressure, low
sperm count, infertility, hypothyroidism, asthma,
impotence, difficult bowel movements.
You can see why the kidneys are so important to keep strong.
One of the keys to longevity is to keep the kidneys strong.
I have been telling you about Shou Wu Chih in my blog.
You know the Chinese tonic to keep your kidneys warm.
(Look at November 19th, 2009
“Keeping the Kidneys warm all winter”

Are We Having FUN Yet?
When I was a small boy growing up in Detroit
my Dad would come home every night after
Work around 6:30 and before dinner he would
play with my brother and me before doing
anything else.
We would beg him to stand on his head and
Dad who was in good shape would do a head
stand for us. He loved to stand on his head
like a yogi right in the middle of the living
room.
Every time he did this coins would fall from his
pockets.
My brother and I would scurry around and grab
as much loose change as we could while my father
pretended to protest, “give me back my money” from
his inverted position.
In truth it was as much fun for him as it was
for us.
My Dad was the youngest of a family of eight
and being the baby of that family he was always having
fun with siblings even into adulthood.
Life for him was about play, having fun being with friends and family.
Dad successfully instilled this outlook of life
onto me and my brother.
Even when we would go with him to work in downtown
Detroit we had fun, maybe even the most fun of all.
The word work and the drudgery that goes along with
it never made any sense to me or my brother because
of this.
People hate to work but they use this word for
stuff that isn’t even work. Did you ever notice
that everywhere it does get used people are really
serious.
Serious people in the gym are Working Out.
For serious training you go to a Workshop.
When you’re serious about beauty you call
it a Work of art. If you’re serious about
your Work they say you have Work ethic.
Some even practice Spiritual Work.
I’ve done my best to work and be conscious
over the years, I really have, but most of
the time I can’t help but
consider how much fun I’m having.
If you love what your doing work is fun.
If I’m not having fun or moving to a higher
level of “fun” in the sense of being able to
contribute; making a difference; learning;
growing and to feel that I am part of a
successful group that is making a difference
in the world, it’s usually not fun and I am
not doing it or at least not for long.
What I’ve learned is that you can’t push
other people to work they are either workers
or not, but you can make it rewarding and Fun.
This gets you and others to be much more protective.
Everyone loves to have Fun.
Sometimes it’s just a matter of reminding ourselves
that we’re having fun.
Try it.
There are many situations that are supposed to be
fun that we often add tension to and they instantly
become serious situations or work.
At these times simply say aloud “This is fun”.
You’ll either break the tension in the room or
You’ll actually change the
orientation of yourself and others from one of
seriousness to one of FUN.
If you saw me doing Recharging Qi Gong with my
students on the beach I doubt you’d say that looks
like a lot of work. It’s actually a lot of fun and
it looks like fun, feels life Fun and it is Fun too.
Big smiles on everyone’s face and some occasional
Laughter is normal.
This is not your usual “Workout” and so far it’s been
producing unusual results in those that have gotten
the program
http://rechargingqigong.com and started to use it.
If you want more vitality and pep in your step I
encourage you to make a change.
Go to http://rechargingqigong.com and find out how
you can use these simple and gentle movements every
day to pump up you Qi power and invigorate your internal
organs
Wishing you the best in Health, Wealth and Happiness,

Forecast 2010
2010 is going to be more than interesting and
exciting according to my friend, Ray Merriman,
he’s well-versed in the language of both market
analysis and astrology.
In his 2010 book “Forecast” he says.
“2010 it’s like a portal opened into a new reality.
Both consciousness and perception are altered from
anything known before.It is as if a new paradigm
is being created continuously,but never quite
manifested entirely. Many of the rules of
the past for the phenomenal world no longer work
and the rules that will work have yet to be
established.
It is unlike anything experienced before, and therefore
the first and most primal emotions are likely to be
confusion and disorientation, followed by fear and
then if lucky,faith and acceptance.”
That’s quite a mouth full Ray. It sounds like there’s
going to be a lot of changelings and a lot of new
Opportunities
for those of us who are centered and willing to bend
like the bamboo or willow swaying in the wind.
“Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked,
while the Bamboo or willow survives by bending with
the wind.”
- Bruce Lee
Flexibility and opening up to new possibilities will
Definitely be what is needed.
I have some real gems to teach all of you this year.
Practice and training is the key to make us strong
like the Bamboo.
“Knowledge = Wisdom”.
This year in early February I am going to release
a new teaching. “Crain Style Qi Gong”.
I have been practicing and teaching this form for
30 some years. There will be classes,DVD’s
meditations and strength building exercises
as well as internal work to increase longevity.
I’ll include the erotic teachings as well
of the Buddhist and Taoist healing and
meditation Systems.
Thanks for being a part of
Recharging Qi Gong programs,workshops
and classes.
May great things come your way in 2010!!!!

Don’t lose your pie in the snow
I was talking to my cousin Susie today.
She told me that she made two pies and brought
them to friend’s houses for Christmas.
Suzy, “I didn’t know you inherited that pie maken
gene from Grandma”.
I told her about a story that I heard years ago from
my Dad about pies.
It was back in the time of the great depression.
My grandmother was a great cook and an even better baker
she made everything. Home made noodles from scratch, cakes,
cookies and everyone loved her pies,they were the very best,
lemon,cherry,blueberry, pumpkin and apple you name it
Grandma made it.
The family lived in Michigan and one cold, snowy, winter
day just around this time of the year my Grandma made a
few of her famous pies and placed them on the windowsill
to cool.
As fait would have it, one flipped over and landed in the
new fallen snow.
What a Bummer!
In our lives there is so much we see spill, tip over, or break
and some of us see only the lost pie in the snow.
I had a patient call me and say.” I am going into the hospital
to treat my depression. It’s really bad. Saw a shrink and he’s
throwing pills at me – but they’re not doing anything and he’s
a fortune. I have to go somewhere that can remedy this.
I feel that I am being stuck in the same place without the
tools to dig my way out.” I am not sure I can hang on.
I am really feeling hopeless.
Well I know from experience that our lives are a series of
lessons to be learn. If we get up-set, bent-out-of-shape and
it effects our health in all three bodies physically, mental
and spiritual.
If the lesson isn’t learned, most likely we’ll have to repeat
it over and over again, until we learn it.
When it feels like a “crisis of death”, it is most likely akin
to a “crisis in birth.”
There are always ways to dig your pie out of the snow.
All it takes is the right coaching and education.
My dad and both of my uncles ran out side with spoons
in hand and didn’t let a bit go to waste.
I wish you the Best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness
