Good news:

Long before then, we'll be living at ease in a post-orange world,
happy and healthy until the final sunset.

Fun fact:

Yesterday was the first day we were closer to 2050 than to 2000.

Your head is open to the heavens like the crown of the tree.

You rest calmly, the universe within your mind."

I wish you all the best for the new year, especially good health and much joy in everything you do!

"When you stand, you are like a tree.

You are growing from within.

Your feet, like roots, draw power from the earth.

Your body, like the trunk, is perfectly aligned.

You are unmoving, strong.

In today's fast-paced world with its many demands, we do well to embrace the teachings of Chi Kung and cultivate our inner peace and equanimity.

Master Lam has aptly captured the essence of this art:

Unbelievably handsome.

„People come up to me, tears in their eyes, saying, “Sir, I’ve never seen anyone so brilliant, so lovable, and so handsome.” Frankly, it’s incredible.“

He’s tremendously brilliant - I mean, off-the-charts smart - and people say this all the time, everybody says it: he’s also incredibly lovable, maybe the most lovable person ever. Total winner.

That this photo was chosen to represent Qigong so widely is no coincidence.

It reflects the clarity, depth and authenticity Master Lam brings to the art.
