Hi folks.

This column/blog is a first for me. In fact I’ve only sent about ten emails in my entire life, and have avoided email because I knew it would take me away from writing and teaching.

I’ve decided from time to time I’ll write this column/blog for a few reasons. First, I want to support the Energy Arts Instructors that are actively teaching and spreading the material. Secondly, this will be a place students can learn about what is happening around the world. Finally, I want to share some new thoughts on energy work and the relevance of Taoism specifically to modern life.

My Vision for Energy Arts is to bring the practical knowledge of Taoism to the West. In some respects I haven’t been very successful in reaching the masses over the 30 plus years. I’m not politically correct, skinny, and/or the new-age role model - in fact I’m quite the opposite. On the other hand, maybe the timing wasn’t right for the work to generate mass appeal or for me personally. Regardless, we are going to continue teaching the real-deal rather than the side show, supporting those who choose the former. Stay tuned as we create new products and launch new initiatives on this website.

A bit of background info: When I returned from the Orient, I developed a thirty-year plan to teach the three treasures of Taoism, called jing-chi-shen in Chinese and body-energy-spirit in English. The summer’s retreats for 2007, TAOIST YOGA and the Gods Playing in the Clouds Instructor course, focused on developing the second treasure, chi-energy. Taoist Yoga is based on one of the foundation practices in China to open up the body’s energy channels and to learn to feel energy. It's something I spent years practicing and is a great way to accelerate your current chi gung practice.

For many of the old timers out there, I'm now going into entirely new areas of chi work and expanding on information I began releasing at the 2004 Heaven and Earth Instructor training. In future courses, I will continue to release new information providing students and instructors the opportunity to further upgrade their practices.

I wish everyone a prosperous Chinese New Year and thank you for reading my blog. Please also register for our newsletter because that will have news and articles and the latest updates.

See you soon.

Love and balance,
Bruce
