I run into naturally talented people every day
and believe it or not it can be the worse curse
to be naturally talented.
You may be asking yourself
WHY?
You may be saying,
“I wish I was naturally talented at something,
but know, I have to work for everything
I get and that sucks.”
Mark Twain said,
“Talent is useless without training, thank God.
True talent plays a huge role
in being successful,but it takes more than talent.
It takes practice and dictation to reach the
top in what ever you do;
If you are willing to train more often,
as well as more passionately than anyone else
you have a good shot of being the best.
I know people with such increasable talent it
would blow you away, but do they train to perfect it?
Not usually and you know how the saying goes.
“Use it or loose it is.”
If you are not willing to do the training that
will develop your talent to its full poetical
it’s going to go away.
Usually those who really make it are those who
are ravenous to get to the top;
those who are willing to pay costs for lack of
talent with, something called
Unyielding Persistence make it.
Getting to the top through Unyielding Persistence
and commitment is only the first part of the
journey it takes;
Practice, Practice, Practice.
To stay on top of your game requires practice
and training all the time.
For a singer, practicing a hundred times a day
may be what will make them a star.
But it would be a major mistake to think for a
second that once you are there you don’t need
to practice. The more successful you are the
more you practice.
Your health and fitness is the same.
If you are lucky you’re born with a healthy body.
Then, through neglect, or ignorance of how to keep
it healthy, the you begin to let it crumble and
wear out; to get sick, fat and sloppy.
When you are young, you didn’t have to worry about
being fit, lean and healthy. You just are.
Then as you start to get older you became less
active and things started to change.
You may end up thinking all is lost and your doom
to be old, fat and sick.
But if you are willing to go against the grain,
to ignore all the so-called experts you can change
and reverse the aging process.
When it comes to health, Most conventional doctor’s
advice is totally wrong.
You don’t see a lot of healthy doctors and you
certainly don’t go to a hospital to get healthy.
If you want to stay healthy,
reverse the ageing process and lose body fat
and you’re willing to go against the norm
I can help you.
Yesterday, I just took the day to chill out
after the holiday.
Around noon I took a walk outside and did the
Recharging Qi Gong set, it took me less than
15 minutes.The rest of the day I could feel
my metabolism cruise at full throttle.
I did not achieve this metabolic transfer with
a wish and a prayer or a slow walk in the parks.
I accomplished it with the secret I reveal in
The Recharging Qi Gong Program.
When you follow this program you will be amazed
at how quickly your body changes.
So will your friends and family.
Did you know that originally the days
were named after the planets in the night sky?
In Chinese Medicine most of the planets
are also related to the 5 elements and you
can plan your days according to the planets
to give you the maximum insight and personal power.
Monday is ruled by The Moon.
Many of the lunar Goddesses,
like Hecate and Cerridwen are also associated with
magic and the intuitive nature of women. The moon
represents the emotional side of our existence. It is
unconscious, introverted, negative,
and female side of yourself.
Tuesday is ruled by the Fire element
which is the planet Mars.
It’s considered independent and quick,
and when activated, nothing stops it.
Wednesday is ruled by the planet
Mercury -the God of Games, Business, and
Story Telling. Mercury rules communications,
travel, the intellectual part of your personality,
and the functioning of the mind.
Thursday is ruled by The Planet Jupiter which
represents expansion and spiritual growth, –
The Wood Elements. Thursday is named after
THOR, the strongest of all the gods, a protector
of mankind since with his magic hammer; he fought
the battles of the good gods and mankind against the evil giants.
Friday is the metal element and ruled by Venus.
Venus is all about fertility, love and pleasure.
Venus is the goddess of Love, Beauty and a metaphor
for sexual love. Venus shows the ability of relating
to others, and the nature of the desire.
Venus can indicate the type of people we are
attracted to, or the nature of our sense of attraction.
It rules close partnerships and also marriages.
Saturday is ruled by the planet Saturn and the
Earth Element is linked to your Karma. Saturn deepens
feelings of isolation, sadness, and depression.
Once the dark side of Saturn is recognized; its bright
side can be brought into view and enhanced. Saturn is
the symbol for Father Time, for he brought all things to
an end that have a beginning. Saturn’s domain is patience,
stability, maturity and realism. Saturn affects us by
delaying rewards until they are earned.
Sunday: The name comes from the Latin dies solis,
meaning “Sun’s day:” The Sun is about Energy- the god
of gift and sight. The sun represents your will or life force.
It is the conscious, extroverted, positive,
male side of yourself.
I like to cross train and I often break up my routines.
Doing something different each day of the week
It keeps my training exciting and can be a
lot more fun as well as an incentive to ‘keep on keeping on.’
Monday and Friday I put more emphasis on Yin
practices as it relates to the moon and Venus.
Tuesday is a much more vigorous workout because
it’s a Mars day and there is a lot of raw Yang energy.
Wednesday I spend more time practicing and studying
as communications are ruled by Mercury and it’s the time
for travel studying, learning or teaching.
This is the day that I do my ‘out of the office stuff.’
Thursday is ruled by Jupiter and this is my day for
expansion and meditation of all internal practices.
Saturday is my day for discipline’s holding my Qi Gong
stances as well as lots of reading and studying.
Sunday is full of energy as it’s ruled by the Sun and although
it is typically a day of rest in the western world, I do most
of my aerobic exercises on Sunday to recharge my heart.
This is a good way to schedule your week and get
the maximum practice.
One of the reasons behind the creation of the
Recharging Qi Gong set
When we are young and somewhat
immature, health is not a big concern.
I know in my younger days I thought
I was somewhat invincible and although
I have been training and working-out
since I was a teenager, I never put
much attention on health, sickness or wellness.
Probably because I never had any sickness
or death in my family until I was well
into my twenties.
By that time my training and daily workouts
were on my autopilot well ingrained into my
muscle memory and habit body.
The reason I always encourage you to train is,
if you keep it going you will build
in a habit body & muscle memory, that will
last a life time.
It will keep you younger and healthier.
That is one of the keys to Longevity.
As you mature, you hopefully become
more aware of not only your own situation
but others as well. As we move through
the different stages of life,
things around us
will constantly be changing–
they are all lesions to be learned.
When you experience any dis-ease,
no matter if it’s a common cold, an
emotional upset or a serious disease
it effects everyone around you as well.
If it’s a family member you will notice
it right away. If it’s a co-worker
and you are in the same office you are
going to notice their situation within a
few days or within a week for sure.
Why? Because it will effect you personally.
Maybe you’ll have to pick up the slack in
the office and do more work, or you may
catch what they have.
Just having someone around with
problems will effect you energetically.
But let us say it is someone thousands
of miles away, it can still affect us.
Take for example someone in Africa who
has Aids and comes into our country and
spreads the disease. It affects all of us.
“Getting well and feeling well
is a comprehensive growth process
that encompasses our entire humanity.”
-Dr. Reimar Banis
We only become healthy if everybody
is healthy. Getting well and staying
well is one of the most important tasks
in each person’s life.
Most people only notice their health
after they lose it or when they recovery
from a dis-ease.
All good Healers, no matter if they
are MD’s, Chiropractors, Massage
Therapists, Acupuncturists or Energy
Workers, promote self-healing by
providing profound stimulation for
the self-knowledge.
Help never really comes from the outside;
it is only to be reawakened within us to
bring a person back to true health and
happiness.
We can therefore rightly say nature heals.
Getting well and feeling well is a
comprehensive growth process that
encompasses our entire humanity.
When you make the conscious effort to
change your health, you will change the
health of everyone around you.
The programs that I teach
are all about becoming healthier mentally,
physically and spiritually.
It makes no difference if you
begin with
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 get up early in the morning and make it to the beach around
4:00 or 5:00 AM you may find a special treat.
Large 300 pound sea turtles are laying their eggs.
The big mama came in just before daybreak and spent about 30 minute
digging a hole, laying her eggs, covering them up and going back
into the sea.
The magnificent sea Turtles migrate thousands of miles,
but usually return to lay their eggs on the same beach where
they hatched.
Sea turtles have existed for over one hundred million years
It can take 15 – 50 years before a sea turtle is capable of reproducing
Scientists estimate that only 1 in 1000 to 10,000 babies will survive
to adulthood
Sea turtles live their entire life in the ocean. The only time they come
ashore is when the female lays her eggs.
Sea turtles are reptiles. They breathe air and can hold their breath for long
periods of time.
When its time to sleep, a loggerhead will wedge under a rock close to the
shore, or take a snooze while floating on the surface of deep water
Hatchlings weigh less than one ounce and are only two inches long.
Adults can grow over 3 feet long and weigh 200 to 300 pounds!
The nest temperature during incubation determines a sea turtle’s sex.
Boys like it cool – Girls like it hot.
Sea turtles have great underwater vision, but are nearsighted out of the water.
Although sea turtles do not have external ears, they are capable of hearing
low frequency sounds and vibrations
Sea turtles use their strong jaws to crush a diet of crabs, shrimp, mussels,
and jelly fish.
This is to sad
I was talking to the park service lady who I call the “Turtle Lady.”
She said they lost over 200 turtles this year in shrimp nets on the
Gulf as the Shrimp boats crews were in a rush to get the shrimp in before the
oil spill destroys them and the turtles drowned in the nets they are air breathers.
“This oil spill is really a mess.”
The eggs will take about 3 months to mature and the little ones will scurry
back to the sea.
One of the advantages of doing my training before the sun rises is that everything is
Really Still
and you get to see wonderful things in nature that most of us miss as we get
those last minute Zzzzzzzz’s.

I Wish you the Best in your health, Wealth and Happiness
It was back in August of 2007. I was doing an acupuncture
and medical Qi gong session on Matt Furey,
he’s a national and world title holder in Kung Fu.
I remember him telling me the importance of connecting
the mind to your muscles.
What he was talking about was “getting inside” your muscles as you train and going beyond mere exercise to give yourself every advantage
possible in your training.
He went on to say.“It has to do with having a set purpose
and a goal in your every move in your practice.
If you’re just going through the moves without a set
purpose you’re not really training”.
This is paramount in practicing Qi Gong.
The inner movement of the Qi as well as the
focused breathing makes all the difference
in practice. You can always tell if a student
has internal power or he is just moving with no
grounding.
I use the same principles when I am working on a
patient, doing a meditation or in internal Qi Gong
practices.
1. Breath
2. Grounding
3. Connect the Mind and the Muscle
Internal practices need to be trained into the mind
and muscle so the energy can flow un-obstructed.
I still work on Matt every time I see him. I give
him a combination of Acupuncture, Chinese Medical Qi
Gong and Biological medicine to make sure everything
is in good working order and to clear the pathways,
so he can continue to train and teach to the max with
no-obstructions.
If you’ve never had a Medical Qi gong treatment
I’d highly recommend getting one. You can get

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.
