Qigong Update: Learning in Costa Rica from Grandmaster Wong
At the end of February/beginning of March, I attended a week-long Qigong retreat in a magical place in Costa Rica called La Montaña Azul (The Blue Mountain). I learned from Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit, who is my Sigung (the teacher of my teacher). I was initially kicking myself for not writing this review sooner, but I'm glad I waited because it has given me time to fully realize all of the benefits I gained from the experience. Words (even pretty photos) don't do the experience justice, but I'll give it my best shot.

Qigong: the missing piece of the puzzle?
Going Primal allowed me to lose 80 lbs in 1 year and get off of all prescription and over-the-counter medications. I saw huge improvements in every aspect of my life and health, and couldn't have been more happy with my results. However, no matter how I tweaked my diet, I still had poor digestion, with unpredictable bouts of diarrhea and painful gas and bloating after meals. I thought I would never have totally normal digestive function, until I took an intensive Qigong workshop in May 2012. I have been practicing daily since then, and now, for the first time in a very long time, I feel like I'm normal and healthy.
