A Prayer for the Lunar New Year

A new year is coming to the world again.
All things change from old to new.

On the first day of the year,

We wish for:
Harmony in families and happiness in life,
Stability in emotions and dignity in character;
Fulfillment at work and health in body and mind;
Improvement in cultivation and increase in wisdom;
Joy throughout the universe and peace on earth.

In the new year, please grant us:

That every intention we have may be beneficial to all,

That everything we say may be compassionate and encouraging,

That everything we do may be a blessing to others.

We pray for awareness,

allow us to promote the well-being of society,
We pray for inner strength,

Allow us to progress on the way to awakening.

The new energy infuses the new year;
Allow us to start everything anew.

Allow us to start everything anew.

Why Fensghui?

If not for Fengshui, it is impossible for Taoist Light Wellness still standing in the middle of Santa Barbara Downtown; if not for Fengshui, it is impossible for a student to find a perfectly fitting job so quickly to move back to Santa Barbara; if not for Fensghui, a client would have been still working rather than retire comfortably; if not for Fengshui, a student would have lost a great relationship; if not for Fensghui, many clients’ houses would have not survived the fires like their next door neighbors’…

Fengshui is an ancient wisdom to raise people’s awareness how to live in harmony with nature and in most possible healthy-way with our environment and others.

Fengshui has helped many Entrepreneurs to prosper and succeed.

Please bring a floor plan of your house or office, let’s locate your wealth corner to help great energy flow.

The four kinds of people in our lives

It was a great relaxing afternoon at Santa Barbara Health and Wellness Tea-Connection with Dr. Tim Schultz (Doctor of Osteopath), Dresden Holden (acupuncturist), Shaina McPhetridge (psychotherapist), massage therapist (Shelley Verses) and other important people (I am not sure if they allow me to post their names).

It is a time to create and support our healing community in Santa Barbara.

In China, we often say in one’s life, one will meet four kinds of people: A teacher/master who guides and shows you “the Way”; An honorable being who supports you and provides unexpected help; A family member /relative who has trust in you; and a person who irritates you all the time😂

Dr. Tim Schultz, a great teacher and Doctor in town is definitely an honorable being for Taoist Light Wellness who has been kindly sending people to Taoist Light Wellness before I even met him. He heard Taoist Light Wellness from Mary McMurry (an intuitive massage therapist) 20 years ago; and Dr. Elisa Lottor in recent years. The two are honorable persons too for Taoist Light Wellness, and Dr. Elisa Lottor has recommended Taoist Light Qigong in her new book<The miracle of regenerative medicine>

It is a blessing to have our honorable being in our lives; it is also a blessing to be the honorable being who supports others who come on the way...

Please stay tuned and welcome to our next Tea-Connection, so people can be the honorable beings for each other.

The Ultimate Rest Stop

The journey of life can be tedious and stormy at times, especially we constantly use our energy/Qi all the time without even think about it, thus I would like to invite you to think about the concept of Qi and it’s cultivation- Taoist Light Qigong.

Qi/energy is our life force, which keeps us alive, vital and healthy.

When I was a young girl, my father and I hiked on the trails on Zhong Nan mountain in Zhou Zhi county, Shaanxi, where is about two hour drive from Xi’an city, China. Then it started to rain heavily, the sky was covered with dark clouds. Father suggested we went into Lou Guan Tai Taoist Temple for shelter. Lou Guan Tai Temple has been believed in tradition where Lao Tzu composed the famous Tao Te Ching. So 2600 years later after Lao Tzu was there, a Taoist monk came out and smiled at us but without saying a single word. He looked at the dark clouds and started to move his arms to push the dark clouds away… and indeed, the dark clouds were moving to the other direction and a round opening of blue sky reappeared and the threads of golden light from Sun warmly shined upon us.

Over the many adulthood years, I often replay that part of “movie” in my head: how a Taoist monk provided a rest stop for us and helped us to move the over-hovering dark clouds away, so we could regained our energy at Lou Guan Tai Temple and got on our road again.

In June 2019, a few Taoist Light Qigong cultivators revisited Lou Guan Tai Temple, and again in a such raining day where we were walking peacefully in the same Temple and soaked up with Taoist Light life force , then brought it back to Santa Barbara.

I have hoped to create a space for people to come to heal, rest and recharge on their journey of Tao (a natural and peaceful way of life). This Space has been manifested as Taoist Light Wellness…people from different countries and directions come here and carry Taoist Light Qigong practice home.

Private Healing session and Cultivation for self

Our Healing center welcome people who are interested in Taoism philosophy (drawn to peace, harmony, simplicity and willing to let go of fear, drama and controlling energy so to be healed and fully recovered) and we often hope people can have an understanding the importance to practice/cultivate for themselves before they decide to take on Taoist healing journey.

There is a saying that: to give someone fish is not as good as to teach one how to fish.

Fishing is not my thing, so I will not teach others how to fish. I am talking about to give people Qi/life force in healing sessions and to teach people how to cultivate their own Qi/life force.

For most people both are important, since private healing sessions can make a big shift and smooth out the tangled or blocked energy very quickly and efficiently so to support people to keep on their healing-cultivation journey.

Learning how to practice Qigong is about to empower oneself and awaken the potential to heal from inside. If one only reads books and not practice, it is like someone only read books on how to swim but never get into water. The best way is to read the book and practice.

The goal of our wellness center is to empower people how to cultivate/practice with this authentic and pure lineage because ultimately people need to heal and live peacefully and become their own master of Tao.

(Tao- the Way. Taoism founded by Chinese greatest philosopher Lao Tzu. Please read <Tao Te Ching> to understand Lao Tzu’s work.)

It’s said, when students are ready, the teacher will come. Are you ready?

A consistent and persistent Taoist Light Qigong Cultivator

On Oct. 27, last Sunday, I have gathered a few cultivators who have taken Taoist Light Qigong training to come back for practice check-ups.

When K from Los Angeles walked in, people who knew him in the past were all in a good shock!

He looked amazing! His energy is happily glowing; his skin was shining and smooth, it seemed he had removed at least 10 years of age; his spirit was uplifting, centered and expanding; He is healthy, strong with good circulation. It is truly very different from the first time I met him: beaten up by life, tired and frustrated.

He showed us his note on his practice journal and kindly gave us the permission to show people his secrete of consistent and persistent in practice which is hard for some students.

On his own book of Tao, mostly it records how much time he spends on practicing ten sections (he had also received level II, I-Ching Qigong training). It indicated that he studied Taoist Light Qigong on June 4, 2018; on June 13, he could sleep better; June 15, his sciatic pain was improving; on June 23, his sciatic pain is 95% better which is 19 days after he started the practice.

He also expressed that his foot pain were gone and his life flows more miraculously.

The most impressive thing is that he only missed practice five days in the past one year and half. He gets up in early morning and practices within 5-7am outside even when weather is cold, but he gets warmer and warmer through Taoist Light Qigong.

He is kind of students any master would wish for: respectful (to the linage), reliable (show up and do it) and responsible (to his own health and well-being); It is natural that how much work one puts in then how much result one can receive… Then you know it is all worth it!

I hope we can be inspired by him to keep a journal of Tao, and will be consistent and persistent with our own practice.
