Why should I practice Qigong?

Pranic Healing and the Healing Arts
By Master Stephen Co

YOUR BODY HEALS ITSELF

You may take antibiotics to combat infections, dose yourself with aspirin to reduce pain or put a cast on a broken wrist. These medical procedures do not “heal” you. They reduce inflammation, battle bacteria or make proper healing easier. But your body heals itself. Through some process that we don't fully understand, your body has the amazing, innate ability to repair itself.

Resisting Emotion
Transformational Talk by Penelope Young Andrade

Do you resist your emotions? For many, the first sign of tears, tight jaws, or a clenched gut triggers a “red light.” We slam on the brakes, afraid of losing control of ourselves. Though we may hide our feelings from others, we pay a high price inside. Curbing emotions often contributes to digestive, heart, stress, mood and relationship disorders.

The Hidden Souls of Words
Keys to Transformation Through the Power of Words
An Interview with Mary Garner, with excerpts from her book

Around the world, people today are yearning for meaning and guidance in a growing atmosphere of violence and chaos. More and more we are becoming aware of how our political debate is shaped by language. Is it an inheritance tax or a death tax, for example? Mary Cox Garner takes us to another level of language and shows how important it is to recognize the power of our words.

The Hidden Souls of Words (SelectBooks, Inc. 2004) demonstrates how our communications can be enhanced and our hearts and minds opened to healing and transformation. It exposes the hidden wisdom found in the powerful spiritual nature of words, applying it to our personal lives as well as the larger world of our institutions, communities and nation states.

California Takes Steps Toward Kyoto Standards
By Ann Diener

When the Kyoto Protocol came into effect on February 16, the decision of the United States not to participate carried a significant influence in the world's eyes. Non-participation by our government is ironic, as we are the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide and other gases, often called greenhouse gases. Now the key focus of the international community is how to persuade the United States to participate in the agreement.

What looks promising is that after President George Bush's recent visit to Germany at the end of February, Germany and the US are beginning to outline plans to improve energy efficiency and cut emissions of heat-trapping “greenhouse” gases, without setting targets or giving details, according to a draft agreement obtained by Reuters.

The Real Estate Conundrum
by Richard Martin

Recently, while watching television for an hour, I noticed three home builders advertising aggressively. One offered a “four-bedroom house on a two-bedroom budget with very little money down and the chance to gain thousands of dollars in equity on move-in day.....” The second said, “If you move in and don't love your new home we will buy it back.” The third had the best gimmick: they offered a brand new Harley-Davidson motorcycle with the purchase of a new home.
