Whole Health Wisdom-Navigating Holistic Wellness

09/16/2025

I have been learning, practicing and studying health and wellness for 45 years, teaching and sharing for 42 years. I feel that I have a lot to share that can benefit the mind, body & spirit. Watch my video of various venues that I have held holistic health discussions.

Contact me to discuss options for you, your business, your group, etc. Good health and wellness are a journey that doesn't happen overnight. We will all experience some pain and suffering throughout our lives. Learn how to manage it before it comes it comes knocking at your door.

Need more energy?
Need better balance?
Need to be more mentally & physically engaged?
Looking for more positive social interaction?

Better physical health and mental wellness cannot be purchased, found in a bottle or a pill. It is earned by putting in the time, effort and desire to be better.

Tai chi, qigong and other ancient methods might help you achieve your goals and some happiness.

I have 3 weekly group classes during the day (11:30am-12:30pm) in Winter Park, if you care to attend. Or private classes in Wekiva at my home. Discussions and seminars regarding holistic health at your location and others throughout the year. I am talking at the Celebration clubhouse this month sponsored by the Lifelong Foundation

407-234-0119 for more information.

I enjoy teaching and sharing; it is my ikigai, or something that gives me purpose and meaning. I wish you the best on your journey of pursuing better health, wellness and happiness.

Human existence inevitably involves experiences of both pain and suffering. While the two terms are often used interchangeably in casual language, they carry distinct meanings in psychological, philosophical, and medical discourse. Understanding their differences not only clarifies the nature of human distress but also provides insight into how individuals and societies can respond to these experiences more effectively. Defining Pain…...

Essence, Training, and Mastery Kung is the essential concentrated force, both mental and physical, that underlies all Chinese martial arts, particularly Kung Fu. It is not mere muscular power, but a highly focused and potent concentration of will, attention, and energy that amplifies every physical technique. Without Kung, even the most refined martial skills remain incomplete; with it, a practitioner achieves exceptional power, resilience, and mastery....

A Cross-Cultural and Linguistic Analysis Language encodes cultural experience, shaping the ways in which human emotion, perception, and cognition are described and interpreted. The Korean term do-chi or dochwi offers a compelling example of how metaphorical language conveys emotional states. Typically translated as “intoxication” or “to be drunk on,” the word describes a form of deep emotional or aesthetic absorption. In contrast, the English term…...

Training Methods Of 72 Arts Of Shaolin by Jin Jing Zhong (1934) is a window into how some traditional lineages of martial arts training used to be practice in years past. Many decades ago, practitioners could and would devote many hours, for many days and over many years, even decades to develop and perfect their skills. Many of the methods explained throughout this book seem impossible with today’s hectic modern schedule, where most people find it difficult to carve out 1-2 hours to exercise, a few days per week....

In an age dominated by speed, data, and polarization, the need for wise decision-making has never been greater. While traditional critical thinking focuses on logic and evidence, it often omits other dimensions of human understanding, such as authenticity, ethics, and contextual appropriateness. The "True, Right, Correct" framework expands critical thinking into a multidimensional model that integrates intellectual rigor with moral clarity and practical wisdom....

Spiritual Enlightenment Across Traditions
A Journey Through Many Paths

In my book, Spiritual Enlightenment Across Traditions: Teachings from the Lineage of the Warrior, Scholar and Sage, I share the insights I’ve gathered over more than four decades of walking a path that weaves together holistic health, martial arts, and spiritual philosophy. This work is both deeply personal and broadly comparative, a look at how different cultures and traditions have understood and lived the experience we call “enlightenment.”

The concept of "Man divides Heaven and Earth" is a fundamental idea in Chinese philosophy, particularly in Daoism and Confucian thought. It relates to the idea that humanity serves as a bridge between Heaven (天, Tiān) and Earth (地, Dì)—two fundamental cosmic forces. Key Aspects of the Concept: The Triad of Heaven, Earth, and Man Heaven represents the formless, the celestial, the spiritual, and the governing natural laws....

Blindfolded Discipline: When Devotion Becomes Exploitative is more than a personal story. It is a case study in resilience, moral clarity, and the capacity for self-reinvention after prolonged exposure to a high-control environment. For two decades, I navigated the intricate and often coercive dynamics of an insular martial arts organization, balancing loyalty, ambition, and self-doubt. Through personal transformation, I emerged not as a victim, but as a self-aware survivor who redefined mastery on my own terms....

No Amount of Wealth, Status, or Celebrity Can Take the Place of a Neglected Mind and Body In an age where wealth, fame, and social standing are glorified as the pinnacle of success, it is easy to forget that the most valuable assets we possess are not in our bank accounts or in our résumés. Rather they are the state of our minds and the vitality of our bodies....
