Mind/Body Connection…?
I have a plane ticket that claims I will land at 7:12pm. Not 7 or 7:30pm, not even the perfectly respectable 7:15pm–no–exactly 7:12pm.
That got me wondering…what’s the science behind this fake precision? I mean, we all know I’m not landing at 7:12pm.
I guess it’s like me telling a client that today’s cardio will be 42 [...]

Naturally Cancer-Free?
Our bodies have a natural capacity to protect us from cancer. After all, if 1 in 4 Westerners die of cancer, then 3 of 4 do not. Why not? Their defense mechanisms work. Really well. According to Dr. David Servan-Schreiber writing in his new book Anticancer: A New Way of Life, “The trick is to [...]

My poor kids. I’m always telling them to figure it out. Take a look at a situation or a problem, and step by step, figure it out.
For me, the same thing has happened with my health.
Life has gotten busy and I don’t have as much exercise time as I used to have.

Slowly but Surely
I am a ChiRunner. But my running has suffered for nearly a year due to allergies and asthma. I shouldn’t live where I do. But I must. So I try to adjust my diet and medication. I think I have the right combination now.
But I am deconditioned.
So, I’m trying to use gradual progress, as I [...]
Running from Your Center
Are you aligned with what you’re doing?
Consider for a moment how important that is.
To move from point A to point B, we first need get everything about us pointed in that direction. If our move is business-oriented, that means our plan must align with our direction. Our employees. Our finances. Our advertising. Our expectations.
If the [...]

There’s more to life than just running…
Seems I’m stuck on a running theme. This morning, I went with my daughter to a new trail and ran 3 times the distance I usually go, strictly on ChiRunning technique. I am quite thrilled and pleased with myself.
