In Daoism, 命 (Ming) means destiny. The character contains 口, mouth, beneath 亼, something gathered together. Historically, Ming meant a command, decree, or mandate.

Perhaps there is wisdom in the image: we cannot choose everything life gives us, but the way we speak (both to others and to ourselves) help shape what comes next.

Can Tai Chi and Qigong help people sleep after a stroke?

A 2026 review of nine randomized trials found better sleep, and lower anxiety and depression, in people who practiced forms like Tai Chi, Baduanjin, and Qigong. The nights improved. That is a big deal when half or more of survivors cannot get rest.

What is an acupuncture point?

It is more than a fixed location on a chart. An acupuncture point is a three-dimensional, physiologically responsive region where connective tissue, nerves, blood vessels, immune cells, and mechanical forces interact.

In my latest article, I explore how needling becomes biological information, what deqi may represent, why point specificity is graded rather than absolute, and how Qigong engages the same interconnected system through posture, movement, breathing, and attention.

I was at my kitchen table today at my usual time, 5:30am with a to-do list and a cup of red oolong tea. The next book is turning out beautifully, and I am almost in need of a refill on my tea.

5 years ago I dreamed of this life. Palm trees have replaced the snow, purpose has replaced motivation, and love has replaced loneliness.

I hope everyone out there in the world has a wonderful day, wherever you are.

Your 90-year-old self would give anything to be where you are right now.
Strong. Capable. Healthy. Young.
Meditate. Lift weights. Walk daily. Eat real food. Sleep well.
You're living your
golden years now.
You're younger than you think.
This is the time. Not later. Now.
Do the work today that your future self will thank you for.
Don't waste another day.

Muscle can change in six to eight weeks. Tendon usually needs twelve.

That gap is why so many strong lifters still get hurt at the junctions, not in the muscle belly. Yi Jin Jing was never about looking denser. It was about loading the frame the muscle hangs on: sustained postures, continuous strain, attention on the pull in sinew rather than the burn on the surface.

The Damo cave story is legend. The Ming manual is later than the legend claims. The loading research is not. High strain over at least twelve weeks is the duration the reviews keep returning to. Eight weeks can start the change. Twelve is when you get to judge it.

Full piece on the history, the twelve postures, and what the tendon papers actually say is up at my blog. Use the link below or the blog link in the bio on IG!

What can Qigong really do, according to the research?

While reviewing the evidence for the second edition of my book on Medical Qigong, I examined the strongest claims that can reasonably be made about Qigong. The research now extends well beyond short-term relaxation. Regular, structured practice can produce measurable improvements in blood pressure, balance, physical function, sleep, fatigue, depressive symptoms, and quality of life.

In this new article, I look at where the evidence is strongest, where the limitations remain, and why Qigong may be best understood as a form of mental, physical, and regulatory conditioning. It is not a cure or evidence of one universal mechanism, but it is a legitimate, adaptable practice capable of producing meaningful clinical and functional benefits.

Your nervous system doesn’t care whether you’re in a clinic, at a desk, in the gym, or lying awake at 2 a.m. When stress hits, it hits the same way: faster heart, tighter chest, scattered attention. Box breathing (also called square or tactical breathing) is one of the few tools that works in all of those moments. Four seconds in, four hold, four out, four hold. No equipment, no special setting, no learning curve beyond counting to four. It is a fast, “always with you” way to take the wheel back.
