Rage Rant w/ Affection

Resist the Fall

As we fully dip into the Autumn months, resistance begins to show itself all over the place. Physically, emotionally, mentally, we all have our personal challenges.
Embracing the Fall, is not something many of us do well. During this time of year, I like to remind my students why we practice QiGong. Its about moving with Nature, not moving against. We can learn from the discomfort and pain. We can turn it into appreciation. Be resilient, no need to resist.

Prioritize Yourself

Переглядів 84Рік тому

Welcoming in September is always bittersweet. I love the change of the season, but this month can be a wild one. Click on the video above to listen in on some tips for this September. As the seasons shift, it’s important that we shift in accordance. Maintain steady rhythms, get proper rest, exercise and take time for yourself when you can. I wish you well.

Denial, Shame and Man Stuff

Переглядів 2302 роки тому

It’s been a few years now. November 30, 2019 to be exact. Some of you may even remember the ‘Denial, Shame and Man Stuff’ talk. It was a wild concept. One of my most difficult presentations to date. The idea in and of itself spoke to the pain I was in during that time. It felt good to give the talk, no doubt. I had fun being that open and honest. Surprisingly, I free-styled the entire set. But ...

Having a voice has never been like this. Systematic vid clip culture forever dormant in data banks. Non-audience, non-viewer panel dissection committees. Witch-hunt Roundups 2022. This new ground we find ourselves on is judgemental AF. And the groupings shift, split and every once in awhile even reunite. I don’t like the idea of groups or sides. I don’t take comfort in the group. I find limitat...

Rage Rant w/ Affection

Переглядів 1112 роки тому

2022 - The Aftermath Frustrated? Feeling Angry? Has the malaise turned into rage? You're not alone. Many of us feel the same way. I'm having to adjust my teachings in accordance. All of the my Tai Chi classes are seeing the shift. A big more Yang focused, yet balanced out beautifully with a dash of Yin. It's a 5 minute clip. Might as well find somewhere cozy to sit. Thanks for watching.

4th Wave Concepts

Переглядів 473 роки тому

Recorded August 28, 2021 Which side are you on? Vaccinated or anti-vaxxer? Right wing or left wing? God bless these people, but to hell with those people. Culturally, politically, historically, there is pattern being played out that continues to keep us in this viscous divide. Wars are being created. And it’s all for not, it’s all a gross waste of our time. We are stuck in the throes of immatur...

DoucheBag Monk

Recorded March 28, 2021 When ‘The Rona’ hit last year I stopped reading books. I stopped trying to collect information. And I began to listen within for the answers I so desperately was seeking from the outside world. This clip from my workshop ‘Trusting Nature aka The Qi Whisperer’ explains why and how I did this. Thanks for reading. Thanks for watching. . . . #listeningskills #zenmeditation #...

TRUST

Переглядів 203 роки тому

Recorded November 14, 2020 Sometimes I forget. My heart closes, my head twists, and I forget. Trust is hard to maintain when I look around. But it’s all just a test. Small bits keep me steady. Small bits remind me. It’s not easy though. Tests are being thrown at me left and right. One hit, two hits, three... Now I’m fucked, and so is my perspective . Doubt spreads large and wide like a black cl...

Buddha w/ a Weekend Pass

Переглядів 183 роки тому

Originally Recorded: 4/4/20 What does Covid-19 means for us as a humanity? Where are we going as a global concept? Big questions, with mostly bullshit as answers. I haven’t felt this alive in a long time. And when one of my students this week asked me what I hope will come from this crisis, here was my reply more or less. I want more people willing and able. More courage. More open. More down f...

The Offset - A Short Film

Переглядів 2254 роки тому

We filmed this back in January. Me and Antonin Blanc. The final cut came through last week. With respect to the year that we’ve had, I was initially hesitant about releasing this short film. So much has changed since January. Unexpected challenges, personal checks and balances, I am in a very different place. Yet, I remain pleased with what Antonin and I were able to create with the time that w...

Man Talk Clip 2

Переглядів 814 роки тому

The honest truth. It felt good to be so brutally honest about myself in front of others. It also had some after effects. But that is part of it. Being courageous sometimes means having the ability to laugh at ourselves. Many of us, including myself, take ourselves way too seriously.

Man Talk Clip

Переглядів 1104 роки тому

What started off about others, become about me. Seeing myself in others opened my eyes to how it is and where it is I operate from. Immaturity. An honest assessment of where most of us are at emotionally and developmentally. I learned a lot about myself from this experience. Perhaps I will put a few more of these clips up over the next while. Thank you for watching.

Hun Yuan Tai Chi 8 Form

Переглядів 7234 роки тому

Here is the entire 8 Form from when Master Zhang was here visiting in the Spring of 2019. Myself, Master Zhang, and Jesse Lown are featured here near my home at Greenwood Park, Toronto. To be honest, it was an unplanned event. We were practicing in the park, and then the next thing I knew, we were filming the 8 Form. Decent video, no doubt. But I just wanted to give my students, as well as thos...
