Last Fall I passed on some information about the plants (weeds) you could gather in your back yard to help relieve the pain of arthritis… (Click here to reprise the article) what if you knew which foods caused the pain? They grow in your back yard!

August Newsletter & World Tai Chi & Qigong Day
Posted in General Discussion, Workshops on August 6, 2007 by qigong4lifecomWelcome!
After a computer virus crashing my computer, and jousting with windows vista (vista LOST), then jumping into World Tai Chi Day, six months has gone by since the last newsletter, and I’ve learned a great deal about life, qigong, computers and the internet! My primary reason for sending the letter was to keep everyone up to date in one place…it is very hard to synchronize my thoughts about the different classes and groups of people, so this blogging format is going to become very handy…i can “jot” notes as issues come up, and then publish the notes in this lovely wrapper. You can provide feed back and commnets even more simply than using email by posting a comment-(I do get to review them…edit them before they go live, so we should have too many wizegyz). Here’s hoping I can be more punctual!
<>As you know, I’ve been working with a digital information system for minimizing digital file size (conservation! How Green!) and use absolutely no paper in providing qigong instruction-including desk top video. These files download to your computer, and contain everything you need to be able to use them. Here’s a link to “Your” FREE E-Book About Qigong…you can learn a little about qigong, and a little about the ebook: no paper! and It’s FREE . Click Here
<>You should review the schedule changes…we’ll try to keep up with you in classes, but this place is also going to be a good start. There will be no Monday evening classes for a while, until further notice I guess you would say, and there will be no clases at all for the entire week beginning on AUG 25th…the whole following week until Sunday the 2nd of September…enjoy your vacations!

<>Enjoy the great summer we’re having, have some fun, careful with the heat…see you in class!

We had a good time again this year, much less hurried and busy, but more time to spend with friends! 20 schools/teachers showed up, and we had a nice demo from our friends over at Bushidokai, with fine demos by some very fine players! I’m going to try to have the video clip play through this blog, but I’ve never done that (yet)
