It’s the year of the Rabbit-
a Metal Rabbit year.
This means this year will be ruled
by a lot of structure.
According to Chinese tradition,
the metal Rabbit year will brings
you a year in which you can catch
your breath and calm your nerves.
It’s a time for good negotiations
with others but don’t try to force
issues, which could end in a disaster
for both parties and cost you more
than you could imagine.
To gain the greatest benefits in 2011,
it’s important to focus on home,
family, security, diplomacy,
and your relationships, especially
the Yin nature, women and children.
Make it a goal to create a safe and
peaceful lifestyle, so you will be
able to calmly deal with any
problem that may arise.
The Rabbit that is sometimes referred
to as the Cat, which is the symbol of
the Moon, while the Peacock is considered
to be the symbol of the sun.
These two animal signs represent
Yin and Yang in the Taoist system.
This is the year when wishes will be
fulfilled, so be careful what you
Wish for in the Year of the Rabbit
–you may just get it!
The practice that I will be doing
this year will build strong Yin Qi
plus much more. On every Full Moon
nights I take a healing stroll in
the moon light for an hour or so
and if possible near a large body
of water.
Water is also yin like the moon.
I fix my eyes on the Full Moon
and I visualize Moon beams and
Moon glow flowing into my entire
system, filling
my body with bright white light
as I gather the pure yin energy.
This will strengthen the inner
Qi and bring wisdom into ones
life.
One of my life time friends from
my home town of Detroit is here in
Miami Beach to share in the celebration
of this New Year with me.
We haven’t seen each other for years
as he has been living in Asia for
the last 20 years soaking up the
Qi of the Orient.
He is well skilled in energy work,
a tea master and holds the title
of World Sport Qi Gong Master of
the Year by the World Qi Gong
Congress.
We took the entire day to prepare
for the Chinese New Year.
The house was cleaned inside and
out to get rid of any stale energy.
I got rid of everything in that wasn’t
in alignment with my goals.
Things like old papers and books that
hadno value any more.
I made sure that useless things that
were just sitting around were now gone
opening the gates for the new Energy
and Pure Qi to flow in without
any obstructions.
Next we went to the Asian import store
and gathered all the goodies to
transform the house to welcome
the New Year.

I have been doing Qi Gong practices for more that 30 year
now and like acupuncture it is hitting the mainstream.
How cool is that.
When I started everyone thought that I was some kind of health nut,
today most people who exercise and are involved in any of martial
arts practice know what Qigong is or at least have heard of it.
Did you know that Qigong practices go backs thousands of years
and can be found in the oldest Chinese medical texts.
Qi Gong is one of the guarded treasures of Chinese that focuses
on creating health and vitality.
Fifteen years ago I was studying in Harbin, China,
it’s near the Russian border in northeast China.
The winters are incredibly cold and Harbin is often called “Ice City”.
It’s well known for its beautiful ice sculptures.
I was given some really extraordinary Qi Gong teachings
by professor Sun
in private, as these practices aren’t for the general public.
I am a friend and guest of his son- in- laws who I able to help when
he came to Florida years ago.
That’s the only way I got these teachings.
Qi Gong use to be call Dao yin but we call Qi Gong today.
The word Dao means to guide and yin means inward,
Dao yin are practices that guide inward or guiding and
stretching or stretching and breath practices.
They translate Qigong as energy practices, energy
cultivation or energy mastery.
But What’s Medical Qi Gong?
According to Jerry Alan Johnson the author of the thousand page
Qi Gong book “Qi Gong Medicine”
“Medical Qigong therapy is the eldest therapeutic modality of
Chinese medicine.
It is a comprehensive system of health care addressing the root
cause of symptoms or disease, and treats the client as a whole.
The practitioner, drawing upon their ability to sense and manipulate
energy developed through dedicated study and self-cultivation,
uses Qi emission and/or teaches medical qigong exercises
and meditations based upon a differential diagnosis rooted in
Chinese medical theory to restore health and wellness.
Practiced as an excellent adjunct to Western medicine,
Chinese medicine may successfully treat conditions which
Western medicine finds resistant or ambiguous.”
As a Medical Qi Gong doctor we learned to emit Qi from
our hands to control the flow of Qi in the meridians.
By doing so we can remove blockages in the organs,
the channels and in the body.
The meridians are like rivers of energy flowing through the entire
body. There is a meridian for each organ, when there is a blockage
of energy in one of the meridians or channels it would be
like putting a large boulder in the river causing a blockage
of water.
In the body this blockage stops or slows down the flow of Qi
and what follows Qi is Blood.
We all know that if our blood is not flowing we are in big
trouble.
I have personally removed blockages in Cancer patients
as well as cleared out deep-seated emotional problems;
in Chinese medicine we call them shen disturbances.
When channeling Qi into a patient you can clear excesses
and build up deficiencies
One of the unique aspects of Medical Qi Gong is that it is
based on posture, breath and intention.
In the Chinese medical view we are all
energy beings, when there is a block mentally, physically,
emotionally or spiritually there is a dis-ease in the
entire system.
In order to clear blockages it takes two.
One the doctor and two the patient.
If they will work together a change or healing will happen
in the entire system, the physical body, the energetic body,
as well as the spirit body.
When I created the Recharging Qi Gong program this was exactly
what I had in mind. a tool that both students and patients could
learn and do that would assist them in recovering their health
and you know what ?
Thousands of people have written me and told me of their
great success in health recovery and increased energy.
If you have been training or not and want to start making things work

My 90-year-old mother fell last night.
She said, “I was a little disorientated when I woke up
in the middle of the night and the next thing I knew,
I was lying on the floor.”
Luckily she didn’t get hurt.
She wears one of those emergency buttons around her
neck and someone came up to her apartment in minutes.
My friend’s mother wasn’t so lucky. She is up there in
years as well but nowhere close to my mother.
She got her feet tangled up in the sheets and before
she knew it she was on the floor with a broken bone.
It seems that when she tried to get out of bed she fell
on the floor and fractured her thigh.
She was rushed to the hospital and is now
getting pins and rods to hold it in place and months
of therapy just to try and get back to normal.
When you fall and break something it can take months
to repair and sometimes years,
and that’s not the worst part.
If you aren’t moving your body your lymphatic system
isn’t moving either and you can get swollen legs,
fluid build up and even possible heart or kidney failure.
In Chinese medicine, the heart is the fire and the kidneys
are water.
Hence that’s the meaning of the yin and yang sign,
fire and water.
They need to stay balanced to keep your health and vitality.
That’s the first thing I check when doing an acupuncture
treatment, the heart and the kidneys yin and yang.
You would think this just happens in the older population
but that’s not the case.
Many younger people end up on the floor with broken
bones every day and it can be prevented
but it’s not an overnight fix.
On my last birthday I was in Lake Havasu, Arizona.
I was invited to go on a friend’s powerboat for a ride.
When I got in the boat I just walked over the hall and
sat down.
My friend remarked that I had great balance and most
people have a hard time walking on board.
I didn’t think much about it at the time, as my balance
is very good.
But it’s not totally natural– I work on it and have been
for years.
I started practicing martial arts when I was 12, yoga
when I was only 17 and Qi Gong for over 30 years.
I work on my balance every day, sometimes spinning
in circles on the beach, walking backwards or practicing
Qi Gong postures.
Nothing comes for free if you want to avoid the perils of
old age or just prevent yourself from falling on your face-
you have to practice.
Students ask me all the time what would be the best
program for me to start with?
If I had to choose a beginning Qi Gong practice I’d
suggest getting the Flying Crane Qi Gong
and then move into the more advanced Recharging
Qi Gong program.
For the students that wanting more and more of
advanced info
I started the Qi Gong Inner Circle to give the serious
students the inside scoop on anti-aging and longevity
practices that most Westerners will never see and unless
they find a Master.

Melody Barnes, director of the White House
Domestic Policy Council states,
“Health care costs are exploding.
Many people are bringing in less income
every month and seeing their premiums go
up at the same time.
It’s affecting the bottom line and businesses.
It’s also affecting the fiscal well-being of
our country.”
We all want a good health care system that’s
affordable and as long as I can remember
our government has been trying to come up
with a solution with not much luck.
Some of us want it to be up to the individual,
while others think it’s a government problem.
Our health care system has many aspects to it
that we aren’t looking at and for the most
part don’t want to.
To tell you the truth they are looking
for a solution that will never happen.
In the west we are trying to kill the
disease no matter what it is,a common
cold, the flu, or cancer.
Kill! Kill! kill!
It will never work in a 100,000 years.
We will never be able to fix a system
that is built on the wrong premise.
Our government,the drug companies
and the large corporations are in
business to make money and that’s
what they are doing….
They are not educating us about health.
they are hiding as much as they can.
I believe when they say they want to
cure a disease like cancer they are
speaking metaphorically.
In Spanish there is an expression
(Con de los dientes para fuerat)
‘they speak from the teeth out.’
We all have heard the saying that
food is our medicine. We eat every
day, at least most of us do.
In the United States McDonald’s,
Burger King, Jack in the Box,
Wendy’s Taco Bell, and all those
chicken places are not there for
your health.
They serve cheap unhealthy food that
people are eating on a daily basis.
Food is medicine and if you’re eating
unhealthy, sooner or later you are going
to be unhealthy. You either have to pay
more by only buying organic food, taking
soda,meat and most restaurants out of your
life or you have to pay with sickness and
an early death.
People ask me all the time,
‘isn’t our government protecting us
from unhealthy food?’ Hell No!
We now have heavily poisoned chemicals
on most food grown in the USA and even
worse in other countries.
Our food is being genetically engineered.
GEO for short this is an organism whose
genetic material has been altered using
genetic engineering techniques affecting
the DNA of the food.
At this time we have no idea what this
will do to our health.
For the most part this is banned in
Europe and the rest of the world.
If you want to have good health care it is
up to you.
You have to take responsibility for your
own health.
Eat a healthy diet; drink a lot of clean
water,exercise every day and educate
yourself.
Think about your health not about
your belly
-if you think about your cravings like
pies,chocolate brownies,cake,fried foods,
hamburgers and fried chicken
you’re going to end up with some form of
disease and then complain about the poor
health care you are getting or they are
not giving you.
Grow a garden, eat food that grow in your
area, eat organic as much as possible, stay
out of fast food places and stop complaining.
You are in charge of your own health or
you’re out of control.
They are not going to fix it; they don’t
want to fix it.
If you want the best health care start
reading labels, ask questions and stop
buy junk food.
If no one buys it- it will go away.
Demand healthy food.
I know if you bought a new sports car
you wouldn’t put the cheapest gas in it,
would you?
You’d buy the best yet you put more poor
fuel into your mouth daily.
I wish you the best in your Health Wealth and Happiness

PS. The Magic Square workshop is this
weekend Saturday Nov.13 from 10:00-2:00

PSS If you are not able to attend the
Magic Square workshop don’t worry.
It is all being recorded and the DVD’s
will be ready mid December.
Last weekend I was truly blessed.
Two of my dear friend from Detroit came to visit;
one is an internationally known gold and silver trader
and the other a physic card reader and palmist.
I’ve known them since I was in my twenties and when
they first hosted seminars in Michigan, I was the person they
would call to teach the healing workshops.
They invited me to come down to Key West. It just so happened
that it was Halloween. They say that back in 1978, two men
decided that a festival, carnival or some sort of celebration was
needed to spice-up and revitalize this traditional ’slack’ period
of Key West. It had to be unique – something that would bring
in visitors from
all over the United States, hence the creation of Fantasy Fest,
a Halloween Celebration for adults.
Over the years the event has grown to surpass all expectations,
and now over 100,000 people attend. That’s five times the
population of Key West.
I drove down south Friday night after work and I knew exactly
what I wanted to do when I got there.
I decided to make it a weekend of cultivating energy, let me
tell you what that is and why you’ll want to do it yourself
when ever you can.
The Chinese have developed a practical framework to understand
health based on the notion of Qi, or vital energy.
It can form a very useful set of metaphors to use in organizing
the cultivation of one’s own health.
The three most basic types of energy related to physiology,
termed are the “Three Treasures,”
Qi – vital energy
Jing -essence
Shen- spirit
Qi -(pronounced chee), means air, breath of life, or vital
energy that flows through all things in the universe,
including the human body. According to Qigong theory,
the Qi that courses through our entire being must flow like a
flowing river.
If there is a block, Qi becomes stagnant and prevents other
parts of the body from being nourished. If the Qi flows too
rapidly, it causes degeneration or exhaustion of the internal
organs. Qigong brings balance to these energies by filling
the deficiency and removing the excess.
Jing -is the Chinese word for “essence” stored in the
kidneys and is the most dense physical matter within the
body. It’s an important concept in the internal healing arts.
You can acquire jing from food and internal exercise, study,
and meditation, like the Recharging Qi Gong program offers.
www.rechargingqigong.com
Qi Gong is the key to longevity and the replenishment of
jing, the carrier of our DNA.
Shen –meaning spirit when speaking about physical development,
it is derived from Qi and can be divided into both Prenatal and
Postnatal shen.
These three complex networks exchange their energetic influence
and affect the functional status, as well as the distribution of the
body’s Qi and Blood.
Now what does all that really mean and why would you want to
activate the Three treasures
When you open all three centers you can build Qi, develop and
strengthen your spiritual digestive system.
As I walked through the festival, I was able to gather energy and build my internal energy.
This is a treasure in itself.
I highly recommend learning how to gather Qi and store it.
I teach this work to the members of the Qi Gong inner circle,
www.qigonginnercircle.com and to the students who attend
the Wednesday night meditation class. If you are in the Miami
area join me as my guest.
I wish you the best in your Health Wealth and Happiness

PS On Nov 13, 2010 I will be teaching a workshop on the
Magic Square in Miami Beach.
There are still 6 places open. If you would like to join me
now is the time to register.
Write me at
Drwudhi@gmail.com for more details.
All day Friday, Saturday and Sunday I threw myself into a Brain Qi Gong training. I stretched, pushed, pulled, squeezed and twisted every part of my brain. It wasn’t comfortable and it wasn’t that easy, but it was necessary to my training. I have been serious about anti-aging practices for more than ½ of my life. Anti-aging Brain Qi Gong is a BIG part of longevity.
When you truly practice longevity exercises, it takes more than working your body. Both diet and nutrition are important, you have to work all the systems all the time, if you want the results of a long healthy life, and the Brain is the master of them all.
The knowledge I acquired in the three day seminar will surely help my patients and although the subject matter was challenging, that’s exactly what I was looking for, a brain challenge.
“Mastering the Thyroid” a subject that I knew very little about, but I know the importance of the thyroid. In Chinese medicine we think of it as being associated with the triple heater meridian, I’ll go into that at another time.
We have an epidemic of thyroid disease and it’s hardly understood by traditional doctors or the alternative ones, thyroid disease can have an autoimmune component to it and that’s barely addressed in thyroid disorders- usually you’re just put on meds for the rest of your life. But wait! There is still hope. There were over a hundred doctors in the workshop learning these advanced methods of diagnostic and treatment, but there were very few that took the workshop for the reasons I did.
If you want to stay young, there are multi tasks that one has to do. Yes, physical exercise both external and internal is a big part of anti-aging, so is diet and our social activities are all part of it. To stay young you have to work all systems- “Use it or Lose it.” The brain has to be stretched, feed and worked to keep it functioning at peak performance. That’s the big reason why I take seminars and workshops on un-familiar subject, to give myself a brain workout.
The doctor who taught us is a master in Endocrinology, Blood Chemistry, Immunology and Neurology. We studied Hashimotos disease, Graves disease, thyroid replacement, hormones, hypothyroidism and hyperactive, the cells and all the chemistry. Hour after hour with no breaks, no stories and no jokes it was all science and chemistry.
If you could have been watched me in the workshop you would have said that I was sitting and taking notes. That was true from the outside. My internal practice was quite different. I was observing both the teacher and myself keeping a second attention, that’s part of the Tibetan Buddhist meditation practices that allows your entire being to gather information and make it part of you in the least amount of time. You actually embody the information. Being able to hold a second attention allows you to be the observer of the class, the teacher, and the teachings and to monitor yourself all at the same time. That is a special teaching that is only taught one-on-one in the coaching program http://energymedicineflorida.com/private-coaching.html
and by DVD to the Qi Gong Inner Circle members. www.Qigonginnercircle.com
If you want keep your brain and body years younger, join me and create your own Longevity. www.qigonginnercircle.com
You will receive the tools that will build a solid foundation, keep you disease free and strengthen your body, mind and spirit.
Make yourself uncomfortable. The comfortable ones will be in their grave long before you.
I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness

PS. Private coaching sessions will be offered again in Mid September
It was less than a week ago when I received
this letter from a friend and mentor.
Here is what he said.
“All I want to do when I’m finished is stare at
The walls or look out the windows. Not moving.
Not doing anything.
Just looking, taking it in … and breathing.
Sit and stare straight ahead for long periods
of time …
Just sitting. Looking straight ahead.Breathing.
Doing nothing.”
It may sound like he is depressed, on drugs or
just spaced out,
But he is actually in a very high meditative
place of being. The Taoists call that state
of aware “Wu Wei”
“An action that does not involve struggle or
excessive effort”.
The concept of “effortless action” like
Qi Gong and the Internal Martial Arts.
“Wu” can be translated as without.
A better way to think of it is as a paradoxical
“The Action of non-action.”
Non doing is “what we mean by going with the
grain,rolling with the punch…”
- Alan Watts, The Watercourse Way
In China I was given the name of “Wu Di”
but when I returned to the homeland,
my spiritual master changed it from Di to Dhi.
Dr.Wu Dhi literally means,
“One who has no Enemies.”
The word “Dhi” is taken from the mantra (prayer)
to the deity that Manjushri,the Buddhist god who
stands for wisdom and knowledge,for the most
part the knowledge of linguistics and grammar.
God knows I need that.
Wu Wei means “Without action, action without action,
Effortless doing”.
The aim of Wu Wei is to achieve a state of perfect
equilibrium,or alignment with the Tao and,
as a result, obtain an irresistible form of
“soft and invisible” power.
One way to accomplish this state is to practice
the internal exercises like, Qi Gong, Nei Gong
and Shen Gong.
Students that come to me seek that stillness of
mind and internal power.
builds the foundations to achieve the state of “Wu Wei”,
like getting the whole puzzle in a big box and
Qi Gong Inner circle programs
http://www.qigonginnercircle.com/ shows you how
all the pieces fit together.
Now is the time to know, knowing when to act
will give you great advantages in your body,
minds and spirit.
Rebecca Ayre, the president of Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT), invited me to be a guest speaker at this year’s conference. I was more than happy to share all I could with the group.
The topics covered all the current trends in Integrative Cancer Care. It was designed to empower people with practical knowledge that will directly benefit those facing a diagnosis of cancer and patients who are looking for options and choices in creating their recovery from cancer. The conference was a unique opportunity to learn of the best therapies, techniques and approaches that Integrative Cancer Care has to offer.
I really got a ton of info to help my patients.
Their group was much more in alignment to my way of thinking.
When I treat a patient no matter whether they are looking for anti-aging treatments, recovering from a disease like cancer or any degenerative disease, I always work to balance the internal terrain.
If you had a garden in your backyard and the soil was very acid and had very little vitamins or minerals (clay and sand) in it, you wouldn’t expect to get much of a harvest.You could still grow something, but the plants would grow poorly and as far as getting any healthy fruits or vegetables your chances would be slim.
On the other hand, if your garden soil was alkaline had proper vitamins, minerals, air and water- your chances of getting a Bumper Harvest would be great. I have been growing organic gardens for years.
The key is the soil.
Of course it needs air, water, and sun light, but in poor soil it gets bugs, weeds and small unhealthy plants.
It’s the same in our body, if you eat junk food, don’t get clean air and water we will have a poor internal terrain and your health will reflect it.
Balance the terrain and the body will go towards health.
I was asked to share my knowledge of Energy medicine, Medical Qi Gong and Chinese Taoist internal exercises at this year’s conference as well as the importance of a proper internal terrain.
The doctors who attended were the top physicians, naturopaths, chiropractors and members of the general public, who gathered to share the best that Integrative Cancer Care has to offer.
They put together a truly memorable conference, and I look forward to participating as this community strengthens and grows.
Thank you all it was a great honor and privilege to share my knowledge with you.
I Wish you the Best in your Health , Wealth and happiness

Dr. Wu Dhi was born Sherwood Swartz but mostly known as ‘Woody’ to friends and family. As a student of various traditions he as received various names and titles over the years as is appropriate in those schools. Among these names was Wu Di, very similar to the pronunciation of Woody, in China the name means ‘has no enemies’. Wu Di was later renamed by a Tibetan Lama to Wu Dhi with an ‘h’. Although this may not seem like that much of a change from Wu Di or even Woody for that matter, it is in fact a high honor to receive such a name directly from a Lama. Dhi in this case is the Sanskrit seed syllable ‘Dhi’ and associated with the great wisdom holder Manjurshri. Dr. Wu Dhi has been a pioneer in alternative health care for over 30 years and a master of Medical Qi Gong. Dr. Wu Dhi completed his advance studies in neurology under the direction of Professor Sun at the prestigious Heilongjiang, University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Harbin P.R.China.
