As the stress crisis continues to grip the world, and skew our important decisions for our future as a human family based on fear and militarism, we need to expand our minds open to new possibilites. Is there hope?
Our planet, humanity, cries out for examples that bring us nearer to the reality of harmony and balance that we all know in our hearts is needed today . . . IF we are to imagine (image-in) the future we can all love living in.
World T'ai Chi & Qigong Day has captured the world's imagination over the 5 years of it's creation, by uniting people across economic, geopolitical, religious, and racial differences in a common event to promote world health and cooperation. This gentle soothing global movement for health & healing has found allies and fans in the strangest places. Governors of the states of California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and Utah have officially proclaimed "World T'ai Chi & Qigong Day" in their states. The United Nations World Health Organization has officially recognized their efforts.
People around the world who've benefited in their lives from the healing powers of the ancient mind / body health sciences of T'ai Chi & Qigong . . . out of love for their fellow humans . . . have organized massive healing and health education events from New Zealand to Zimbabwe, and from the North Pole to the tip of Argentina.
This week World T'ai Chi & Qigong Day has unveiled the next wave in their goal of spreading a cool breeze of natural health solutions to answer humanity's fevered stress plague. The newly unveiled website www.worldtaichiday.org has just been announced. It provides discussion areas, and bulletin boards, for health professionals, penal & drug rehabilitation professionals, corporate wellness and education professionals to meet with T'ai Chi & Qigong teachers and researchers, as well as medical researchers all working to discover how T'ai Chi & Qigong are being used to heal people at all levels.
At www.worldtaichiday.org you'll also explore the usage of T'ai Chi & Qigong for a host of social problems from preventing and reducing child or spousal abuse, to reducing police brutality. Stress is at the core of many if not most of our personal, social, and global problems. When we are calm we see options that cannot fit into a tight stressed consciousness. As you read through the various sections at www.worldtaichiday.org the mind begins to expand open to see a vast hope for simple answers to complex problems. The site is a clarion call for compassion and healing.
The goal is to facilitate communication between these researchers, practitioners, counselors, curious or ailing indivuduals, etc. so that they can expedite the expansion and boost the effectiveness of such programs. Constantly re-inventing the wheel is slowing down the spread of these much needed personal growth technologies. The healing community desperately needs to have a venue to share information, successes, failures, and constantly innovative and natural approaches to social healing.
www.worldtaichiday.org has become such a hub. ALL World T'ai Chi & Qigong Day services are FREE, in order to expedite the spread of the valuable information the site offers. All listings and searches are free. The new site also offers schools and teachers a free teaching manual, and ways to generate income through their health and healing teaching so that they can use the resources to expedite humanities access to the information and benefits of T'ai Chi & Qigong. Why is this necessary?
Our market driven economy has found us in precarious position. Pharmaceutical companies are driving much of the advertising on American television. The more people need drugs, the more profit is made. Many drugs do not heal, but they lessen the symptoms of existing ailments, and this is a prescription for a collapsing healthcare economy as baby boomers age. T'ai Chi & Qigong and other natural health modalities are aimed at actually healing the problem. Medical research reveals there is much promise in this for lessening suffering, illness, and medical costs. However, people hear precious little about natural health modalities.
Therefore, a new venue is needed whereby individuals, health professionals, and natural health professionals can come together to share emerging research, anecdotal successes, and teaching information to make this important information more available to the public at large. The new "World T'ai Chi & Qigong Day Chatrooms, Bulletin Boards, and Chatroom Events Calendar" are designed to provide this venue.
The next step is to connect people with T'ai Chi & Qigong teachers in local communites. Most schools and teachers cannot advertise. Therefore World T'ai Chi & Qigong Day's worldwide directory of teachers, schools, and associations provides individuals to find contact information for such in their local areas. Again, all these services are a free public service at www.worldtaichiday.org.
World T'ai Chi & Qigong Day will soon unveil a translation ability so that the web services can be available in 9 languages, English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Italian. My father, who served for years in World War II, in front lines combat, and was wounded and awared with the Purple Heart, was haunted by the horror of that experience. He longed for a world where all people could see their commonality. Therefore, I dedicated World T'ai Chi & Qigong Day to his memory . . . in it I find hope for humanity . . . as T'ai Chi & Qigong players from all corners of the world come together as one family . . . celebrating and promoting world health and healing. I am awed by their selfless dedication to this extraordinary global event.
Visit www.worldtaichiday.org, and tell your friends about it.
