My body was aching this morning when
I woke up and just by chance a friend
dropped by the office who owns a
unique company, “The Stretch Zone.”
You may be wondering what the
heck is the Stretch Zone is all about.
Jordan, the developer came up
with a great therapy
and that is just what I need for my
sore body. He stretches every
muscle in your body and you just
lie on his cool custom table.
It’s almost like having someone do a
Yoga class on you.
Instead of you doing the stretches—
he does the stretching for you!
He developed this system after many years
of work as a personal trainer and now
he stretches people and gives them
exercises to keep their bodies
in great shape.
When I trained on the beach
I pulled a muscle.
It could have been from a high kick
or from running in the surf. I’m not
exactly sure what I did to myself but
I woke up sore.
My stretch guy worked on every muscle
group in my body, slowly stretching
and unraveling the knot that I seemed
to have tied in myself.
He worked the synthesizes, which are
controlled stretching techniques that
help the autonomic nervous system.
It quickly improves muscle symmetry,
and eliminates the pain.
This put the muscles to rest
and I was back to full range and pain
Free in just 1 ½ hours.
What was unique about the treatment
is the Stretch Zone Table that he designed
with adjustable belts, pads, and straps
allowing for the speedy extension of muscles
further than the central nervous system
would normally permit.
When you train as much as I do it’s a
good idea to get a massage, have
someone to stretch you and to take a
sauna at least once a week to relax the
body and keep in good shape.
When I got off of the table, I felt three
inches taller and all of the pain
was gone, I felt great!
I was back to training this morning.
I started by walking backwards 1000
steps, then I did the
Recharging Qi Gong:
http://www.rechargingqigong.com/recharging-qi-gong.html set
I winded it up by doing the automatic
move and went deep into a meditation.
I felt my energy body relaxing at a deep
level and by the time I ended my
training I was super charged and at
the same time I felt totally relaxed.
It was like being on vacation.

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.
All these programs are listed on the website
www.Rechargingqigong.com
if you still have questions about the programs
classes or private treatments write me at
Drwudhi@energymedicineflorida and
I’ll answer your questions.

It was 6:15 in the morning; the temperature was in the low 50’s
and with a strong ocean breeze thats cold for south Florida.
As I was walking down the beach to train with my friend Bob,
we saw something splashing in the surf.
We were’t sure what it was at first so we walked over to see.
It was a bird all wound up in a fishing line with hook line and
sinker attached.
I knew if I could get him out of the water he’d surely drown.
It was a small blue heroin, with medium-large, long-legged,
a long pointed blue or greyish bill with a black tip that he
could us as a dagger if I got in his way.
The fishing line wound around his foot and his wing,
and he was unable to fly.
The poor little guy screamed and pointed his sharp beak
at my hand and I backed off quickly.
I knew that if I didn’t do something quickly he was going
to drown in the surf, starve to death, or have one of those
cats have him as a meal.
I was a little perplexed on how I could free him
but I wanted to help this creature out.
A young French couple came over to see what was going on,
they had a towel so we decided to throw the towel over the
birds and grab his beak so he wouldn’t attack us.
With sergeant like patients, I enwound the fishing line,
took the hook off and freed him.
In just one moment he was up and running,
I sure he as greatful but didn’t stick around for any
thank you’s.
It’s the same in the human system.
Sometimes we get caught up in the fishing line of life.
We smoke, drink too much alcohol, overeat
and don’t realize that we are actually caught in some
addictive behavior pattern.
We are waited down, unable to fly, unable to move,
and we don’t even know that this could be our demise
until we wake up, or are woken up by a teacher or a coach
who shows us the way to untangle our entanglements.
The reason that I practice Qi Gong and teach it to thousands
of students is it gives them a way to free themselves from
habits that they know about, some they don’t even know
they have and from entanglements that have they stuck.
The Recharging Qi Gong program is a series of 36 well
selected exercises to free your body, mind, and spirit
of chronic accumulated tension. It is a habit buster.
Hundreds of students have reported to me that after
doing these simple but powerful exercises for less
then 90 days, their lives have turned around 180 degrees.
Asthmatic patients now breath better,
people who are suffering of back pain for years,
no longer have that pain.
One lady, Mary, who has problems with her cycle
over 15 years, suffers with severe cramping, bloating,
headaches, and dragon-like PMS, and is dysfunctional
for at least 10 days every month.
Once she started doing the Recharging Qi Gong exercises,
all of the above symptoms disappeared and her huband
is one happy camper!

Ever since I can remember my Dad collected pocket watches.
He belonged to a few Horology organizations.
Horology is the science of measuring time and the art of
making timepieces. Dad specialized in fine pocket watches;
he had railroad pocket watches with trains etched on the
cases.
Some showed the movement of the sun and the moon,
others chimed and they were all wound by hand or a key.
I learned how to handle fine timepieces as a youngster,
how to open them, wind them, not over wind them and to
appreciate the beautiful etchings integrate work of the Gold
and Coin Silver watches.
One day back, years and years ago, I asked Dad why he liked
to collect watches. He said, “Son, all we have is time,
and I love the things that keep track of time. We only have so
much time and you have to make good use of it before it’s gone.
You can never get it back.”
I thought a lot about my Dad’s statements about time this
morning when I was doing my Qi Gong practice.
Time is precious, Time is limited, all we have is time,
make good use of your time, it can be all gone before
you know it.
“Time is free, but it’s priceless.
You can’t own it, but you can use it.
You can’t keep it,
but you can spend it.
Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.”
- Harvey MacKay
How many times have you let time slip away?
When I tell people that I get up early every morning
before the sun is up and train they look at me like I
am from another planet.
I hear things like- “I could never get up that early!”
“I need to sleep at least 8 hours a night or I don’t function well.”
This one always make me laugh-
“I’m too tired to do energy exercises.”
“He who fails to train trains to fail.”
Excuses are excuses.
Your excuses waists your valuable time and energy,
there is no action in an excuse.
It’s time to step up and make some changes in your
life for the better.
Your time is precious,
your time is limited and time is ticking.
Make a decision now to start training with me and
make your time count. www.rechargingqigong.com

PS. If your in Miami, I invite you to train with me in
person every Saturday morning at 7:00 95th. and
Collins Ave on the beach.
Every Wed night at 7:00- I teach a meditation class
in my office at 18205 Biscayne blvd. suite 2214
Aventura, Fl 33160 call 786-271-0325
Today is the summer Solstice the longest day of the year
filled with abundant energy and lots of sunshine.
It’s in the nineties in South Florida that’s why
I start my training at 5:30 in the morning.
It’s still cool and there was a nice breeze
coming off the ocean. Summer is about growth,
creativity, expansion and staying active.
This is a time when our bodies go through
maximum activities, so expect lots of heat
inside and out. To stay healthy this summer,
keep your priorities in maintaining your heart,
mind and spirit in top shape, which are all part
of the fire element.
If the heart is in harmony, the taste buds in our
tongue works efficiently. It’s important to have
tongue cleaning as part of your hygiene regiment,
if you aren’t doing tongue scraping start today.
You may be asking your self what’s
The Purpose of Tongue Cleaning
By removing the soft plaque from the tongue you are
removing most of the bacteria and other garbage
that are the primary source of bad breath,
hard plaque (tartar) and tooth decay.
You can pick up a tongue scraper at the health
food store or a spoon will work just fine.
“The supernatural forces of summer
create heat in the Heavens
and fire on Earth;
they create the heart
and the pulse within the body…
the red color, the tongue,
and the ability to express laughter…
they create the bitter flavor,
and the emotions of
happiness and joy”.
-THE YELLOW EMPEROR’S CLASSIC OF INTERNAL MEDICINE
June 21st. is when the sun reaches its highest point,
the day with the greatest number of daylight hours
and the shortest night of the year. Soon after,
the days will get shorter.
In Chinese medicine, summer is associated with
the Fire element and with heat.
The heart is the fire element of the body and
if there is too much heat in the heart,
the heat will rise and eventually disrupt the mind.
To have a balanced mind, do more Yin type exercises
like the Qi Gong Yin Set found in the back of the
book of the Recharging Qi Gong Program
and the Healing Sounds, they will keep you cool all summer
and benefit the heart
When the change of the season happens, especially during
the winter and summer solstice, is an opportunity to reset
your internal clock. The summer solstice is called the
Midsummer because it’s around the middle of the growing season,
a period of abundant growth. So wake early and seek the
sun for nourishment to thrive just as the plants and trees do.
This is the perfect time to a detox program http://www.energymedicineflorida.com/detox-kit.html
I’m staying quiet busy these days, working writing and
training every day early morning.
If you’re in Florida join me on the beach 6:30 am on 95
and Collins on the beach.
I will also be conducting Meditation classes every Wednesday
at 7pm, at the Whole Life Health and Wellness in Aventura.
I invite you to join me. You can call for details 786-271-0325

Early Christmas morning I walked down to my favored place on the beach and
started my Qi Gong training. It was longer than usual workout and I went
into a very deep meditative space for quite awhile. It wasn’t until
Marie came over to me to give me a big hug and a
Merry Christmas wish that I came totally back into my body.
She reads my health tips daily (www.Rechargingqigong.com)
and trains with me on the weekends. Marie asked if
I would elaborate on what Guarding your speech is all about.
In many spiritual traditions they say our
speech can be a big drain on our energy or be used as a
powerful tool to transmit energy.
Many teachers use silence to keep from wasting their energy
and my teachers always put a big emphasis on the importance of what we say and how we say it.
It’s always a good idea keep your “SELF TALK” positively
all the time. People try to say nice things to others but
when it comes to self they are constantly putting themselves
down. This is usually a sign of poor self-esteem. But it is more critical to our spiritual growth and inner development than one could imagine. This is a form of self inflicted cruelty. It will cause problems with your health. In body mind and spirit.
When we have disturbing attitudes and imprints of negativities
of speech it take the form of liquid tar, poison our mind and
flow out through the upper openings of your body:
Eyes, ears, mouth, nose, etc.
“What you say is what you get.”
As you change your Self Talk to positive, happy and productive
things they will start appearing in your life that way.
“Stinking Thinken” as Zig Ziggler called it ,is a killer of health Spirit and growth.
Here some tips to channel your Self Talk
Say only positive statements to your self and others.
2. Only use words of kindness, this will heal you and
others instantly.
3. Walk away from conversations of gossip, slander and
other negative forms of speech. They will only
drain your Qi.
4. Avoid Destructive Speech, no matter if it’s to others or self
another drainer of Qi. If it’s not kind, true or necessary,
Don’t think it or Say It.
5. Never judge yourself or others, It waists the Energy
you have been building.
6. Your Posture reveals your state of mind-
Body language is a big give away to how and what you are
thinking. A smile on the inside will reflect our self talk
and show on your face.
7. Loose lips sink ships or” Don’t start no shit there
won’t be any shit”
8. Forgive. If you have been wronged, let it go.
Those who can forgive live healthier, happier,
and live less stressful lives.
That little under the breath comments that we may make can suck your Qi away faster than Good Old St. Nick goes.
I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness
Last night I came home after sundown and the whole
house was completely dark.
Instead of turning on the lights I lit a candle.
I never do this sort of thing but the house seemed
so quiet and peaceful I wanted to just sit and open
to the quietness.
I spent the majority of the night in contemplative
meditation.We are in the Winter Solstice and it is
an excellent time to take time to be quiet and reflect
on the past year.
I recommend doing this for yourself as a matter of
self-cultivation.
With all the crazy energy around the holidays and
year-end you want to make sure that you cool-out
and recollect yourself before you burn-out.
Once you do I think you will find that the rush of
the holidays and year-end quiets down and you can
refocus on those things that are most important.
In Chinese medicine Winter is associated with the
element Water. Water energy has the attributes of:
•Cold
•Damp
•Quiet
•Stillness
•Calmness
•Smoothness
•Listening
•The Kidney organ and meridian
This energy is available in the atmosphere
throughout the winter. Just slow down,
sit quietly in a natural place and pull in the
atmosphere. Winter Water energy is also
associated with a special type of Awareness that,
from Chinese to English, best translates as
Alert Stillness. In the Chinese Medicine system we
use animal associations to signify these types of
energy, and as such, the animal for the water element
and organ of the Kidney is the Deer.
The Deer is chosen because it is a master of Alert
Stillness. When you think of a deer you think of an
animal that is impossible to sneak up on.
The slightest snap of a twig and the Deer has
disappeared. This is not the same type of power of
a Tiger or a Dragon but it is a type of power that
completes us.
In the Ba Gua system of Martial Arts it takes a
whole circle of animals to become a Master.
We cannot always Push, Push, Push, sometimes we
need to sit, take inventory, and listen to the
atmosphere.
This is the power in the symbol of the deer and that
is the power of this time of year.
So take advantage of this time of solstice when this
energy is most powerful and abundant, you will not be
able to tap into this energy so easily in other seasons.
Winter, not just the New Year, is the best time to set
new plans and goals into action.
Take inventory of what is happening around you.
Upon deep consideration you may see more then
before.
Clarity is not achieved when you are rushing or
being hasty.
Opening is found in reflection.
Wishing you the best in Health, Wealth and Happiness,
Dr. Wu Dhi
