You’ve may have heard the term Qigong before and if so it’s likely you’ve equated it with just another form of slow martial arts. But as practiced in Wisdom Healing Qigong, it’s actually a 5,000-year-old Chinese Healing system that has significant implications for those that fear contracting COVID-19, those that are suffering from it and anyone who is dealing with physical illness or emotional pain and stress in in the world today.

As Founder of the Chi Center, Master Mingtong Gu is the man who brought a profound 5,000 year old form of Chinese healing to the West in the form of Wisdom Healing Qigong, and is bringing it forward as a vital practice in the time of COVID-19.

As a child growing up in China during the Cultural Revolution, Master Mingtong endured hunger, poverty, and a long separation from his birth family. Despite these incredible hardships, he became the first from his village to attend college, earning a bachelor’s degree in mathematics followed by two master’s degrees, including an MFA from Ohio State University. As a graduate student in art, Master Mingtong discovered the treasures of his own culture through the spiritual iconography of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism, while practicing yoga, Tantric Buddhism, and qigong.

In 1997, Master Mingtong returned to China for Qigong training under Grandmaster Dr. Pang Ming, a Qigong grandmaster trained in Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, and the founder of the world’s largest Qigong hospital. During his training, Master Mingtong observed thousands of cases of chronic and “incurable” diseases being healed at this “medicine-less” Qigong hospital, which treated 200,000+ patients with more than 185 different illnesses, with a 95% effective improvement rate.

Could that medicine-less Qigong facility be duplicated in the West? Sold on its benefits, Master Mingtong dedicates his life to advancing the practice and a place to teach it in the United States. Hence, The Chi Center just outside of Santa Fe NM was founded to bring Wisdom Healing Qigong to thousands of people in the United States, China, and Europe through his retreats, workshops, books, and online and educational programs.

But today, he offers listeners a free gift as he joins the Aging GreatFULLy show to share how Wisdom Healing Qigong can help you resist the COVID-19 virus and other illnesses and ailments as well as decrease your stress, feel more connected in a time of isolation, and even heal faster if you’ve been stricken by viruses, health conditions and even feeling anxious and overwhelmed or even seek improved wellness and peace of the mind, body and spirit.

Relationships are the fabric of our lives! And recently many of them have either become stronger or strained, depending of the unique circumstances. With self-isolation and working-from-home underway, all around the world, millions of relationships are currently being done differently and couples are having to adjust to a new way of being together – or not being together.
Brendon Watt is a speaker, life mentor, and the co-author of Relationship: Are You Sure You Want One? and co-founder of the Relationship Done Different workshop series.
He understands that the constraints of home isolation will prove to be too much for many couples. “A lot of people will be thinking, ‘You know, I can live with this person for four hours a day but put them in a house with me for 24 hours a day, and I can’t stand it,’” he explains. “The current situation is highlighting just how vital it is to actively create your relationship, rather than just maintain it,” he adds.
Brendon is well-regarded for his honest, pragmatic (and sometimes irreverent) approach to love, sex and relationships. He is available to provide a wide range of relationship tips and advice, specifically designed to help the millions of couples currently dealing with intimacy overload.
“The relationships that are most likely to fail right now are those where the parties are waiting for the relationship to go back to normal. The relationships that are going to succeed are those where the parties are saying, ‘Okay, there is no yesterday anymore. How do we create the future together? What do we want the future of our relationship to look like? What choices do we need to make today, to create that future together,’” Brendon advises.
