TIME TO START REACHING OUT TO MEDIA TO COVER YOUR COMING EVENTS!
Why? In spite of the FACT that mind-body practices like Tai Chi & Qigong can prevent or treat 70% to 90% of all health issues (according to scientific research) … MOST PEOPLE ARE UNAWARE OF THIS REALITY.
WorldTaiChiDay.org has provided you EASY TO USE FREE TOOLS to get media to cover your event, to give you a microphone to educate people.
Doctors SHOULD be telling patients about Tai Chi and Qigong (given the research) BUT THEY ARE NOT … A new study from
Western Washington University found that
only 6.6% of Tai Chi and Qigong and Yoga users were told about this by their doctors. On
the last Saturday of this month YOU CAN get a media microphone and change people's lives.

NQA NATIONAL CONFERENCE COMING SOON!
Be sure to check out the coming National Qigong Association National Annual Conference.
|
|
World Tai Chi & Qigong Day was in a way born at the NQA's national conference.
I remember about 18 years ago, when I went to pitch this "crazy idea" of a worldwide gathering of the global tai chi and qigong family … and the NQA, Roger Jahnke, and a few visionaries there, gave me a spot to speak to the plenary session.
I remember speaking after famed Qigong documentarian, Francesco Garripolli, who had sold his prized Harley Davidson motorcycle in order to fund his now famous Qigong documentary that year.
And after I spoke, Master Li spoke about a need to infuse the world's Qi with LOVE. Master Li had stopped me in the hall after our speeches, and said to me something that has stuck with me for these 2 decades of organizing World Tai Chi & Qigong Day.
Master Li had said, "Think about why you want to organize this world event. If you don't do it for LOVE, don't do it at all."
-- Bill Douglas, Founder of World Tai Chi & Qigong Day

Slumber Solutions: What Can Help You Sleep?
…
Tai chi, an ancient Chinese martial art
that involves slow, fluid movements, may give sleepless people a chance to focus on something other than the worries that keep them up.
“The focus is on being in the present moment,” says Michael Irwin, MD, a psychiatrist and professor at UCLA, who led the tai chi study ...
In the clinical trial, women with
breast cancer
were randomly assigned to either 2 hours of CBTI or tai chi per week for 3 months. Between sessions, they practiced at home. At the end of the program and continuing for 15 months after,
women in both groups had a similar reduction in insomnia symptoms
