Three decades ago, there was a time when I really felt confident and invincible. I was young, healthy, strong, and owned a gym and a Martial Arts school. Although I had already served in the Special Forces and got shot at and blown up, I managed to survive to fight another day. I was also happily married and the future seemed bright. What could possibly go wrong, right?

Well… let me tell you… getting into the bodyguarding business was probably what did me in. After about a year of making a name for myself in that new line of work, I started operating under the illusion that I could handle any challenge that would come my way.

And then our brave bodyguard himself got kidnapped!

After spending several days in a dark root cellar without any food, I finally got released, once my business partner paid my ransom by selling our company… or so I was told.

I recently had the honor and pleasure of presenting on Mindfulness and Flow with Qigong at the Mindful Movement conference held by the Center for Mindfulness at the Niagara University. It was a great opportunity to share my passion and expertise on Qigong and Tai Chi with a diverse and enthusiastic audience of mindful movement enthusiasts.

But what are mindfulness and flow, and why are they important for your well-being? Mindfulness is the ability to pay attention for an extended time with openness, curiosity, and acceptance. Flow is the state of optimal experience when you are fully immersed and engaged in an activity that challenges your skills and abilities. Both mindfulness and flow can enhance your happiness, creativity, productivity, and performance.

However, achieving mindfulness and flow is not always easy in today's fast-paced and stressful world. That's why I shared my insights and tips on how to achieve mindfulness and flow with Qi Dao using some of the simple principles and i...
