As a psychiatrist working in a hospital I treat patients experiencing severe crises. This work can be very stressful at times. For the past 10 months I have been doing standing outer dissolving almost every day. Over this time I have noticed a big decrease in the amount of tension and contractions in my body. I am now able to remain more relaxed.

Sometimes it can take a setback to wake you up to what is valuable and what isn’t. I had been fighting an intense legal battle with devastating effects on my business and on my health. I had to face starting over again very late in life. I couldn’t do much about the drain on my time and money; however, I could do something about the drain on my health. Thank God for chi gung!

In my current job as a training consultant for a library automation company, I find practicing chi gung and tai chi invaluable for maintaining my health, and sanity! It provides a constant in a situation where I travel extensively, spend much time in airplanes and automobiles, eat and sleep irregularly. It also has helped minimize the negative effects of using computers for many hours a day, and the demands of complex training situations.
