With over 40 years of experience in martial arts, qigong, traditional Chinese medicine, and holistic wellness, I offer a unique blend of movement, mindfulness, and philosophy that helps people reclaim their health, physically, mentally, and spiritually. At Mind & Body Exercises, I believe that true wellness is more than just a workout. It’s a way of living, breathing, thinking, and moving in harmony with nature and with oneself. My instruction is designed for all ages and experience levels, including seniors, beginners, and seasoned practitioners. Whether you’re looking to improve your posture, manage stress, develop strength and balance, or explore the deeper meaning behind your practice, there’s a path here for you. What I Offer:

Sleep Deprivation

Sleep is a natural regularly occurring physiological function, where humans and other animals reduce physical and mental activity, lessen responsiveness to stimuli, and particular patterns of brain activity occur (Ettinger 2018). Prolonged lack of sleep or sleep deprivation can cause impaired memory formation as well as adverse effects on the brain’s other cognitive functions such as learning, language, reason, and perception....

Being Offended

In contemporary society, offense has become both a currency and a contagion. Social media platforms amplify outrage, news cycles thrive on indignation, and personal identity is increasingly intertwined with ideological positioning. In such an environment, the mere possibility of being offended is often treated as justification for emotional reactivity. Yet the capacity to feel offended does not obligate us to live offended. The distinction between stimulus and response, between what happens to us and how we choose to interpret and embody that experience, lies at the heart of psychological maturity, emotional resilience, and personal sovereignty.

The Breath of Insight: Everyday Tools to Awaken the Vagus Nerve

I often reflect on how our breath, movement, and embodied practices unlock intelligence that’s deeper than thought alone. I’ve discovered that the vagus nerve, also known as cranial nerve X, is far more than a static anatomical cord. It is a sprawling, bidirectional highway connecting brain with body, from lungs and heart to gut and even immune activity (Huberman, 2025)....

Spiritual Currents in Europe and Asia (800–1800 CE)

The spiritual histories of Europe and Asia between the ninth and eighteenth centuries reveal both stark contrasts and surprising parallels. While the Holy Roman Empire represented a distinctly Christian civilization in Europe, Asia contained a vast spiritual mosaic shaped by Buddhism, Hinduism, Daoism, Confucianism, and emerging new traditions. Examining them side by side highlights not only their differences, but also their shared struggles with orthodoxy, reform, and the search for direct spiritual experience....

What Is Autogenic Therapy? A Self-Directed Path to Deep Relaxation

In today's fast-paced world, stress-related conditions are on the rise. Autogenic therapy, also known as autogenic training, offers a powerful way to counterbalance modern stress through a simple, structured set of mental exercises. Developed by German psychiatrist Johannes Heinrich Schultz and coined the term in 1928, this self-regulation technique continues to help people worldwide regain calm, reduce anxiety, and improve overall well-being....

Peaks and Valleys

Staying Centered Amid Life’s Peaks and Valleys: A Holistic Perspective on Emotional Regulation and Meaningful Progress

Life unfolds not as a straight line, but as a repeating rhythm of ascent and descent, wins and losses, happiness and sadness, success and failure. The image below captures this fundamental reality with clarity: oscillations occur, yet forward movement remains possible when one stays centered.

The message is not to suppress emotion or ambition, nor to deny disappointment or grief, but rather to cultivate a steady internal reference point that allows movement through life’s inevitable fluctuations without becoming destabilized by them.

Restoring Hand Vitality – Jing Well Acupressure

My Traditional Approach to Acupressure, Massage, and Herbal Therapy As both a long-time practitioner and teacher of holistic wellness, martial arts, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), I have found that the health of our hands is often underestimated. Our hands connect us to the world, allowing us to create, heal, and express, but they are also vulnerable to stiffness, poor circulation, and overuse injuries, especially in our modern, screen-driven culture....

Flu Season? Or Lack of Sunlight, and Eat Sugar Season!!

Winter, Immunity, and the Unsustainable Model of Modern Healthcare. Why Lifestyle Medicine Must Become the First Line of Defense Winter has long been recognized as a season of heightened illness, commonly referred to as “flu season.” This pattern has existed for thousands of years, shaped by environmental conditions, reduced sunlight, behavioral changes, and altered activity patterns. Yet despite humanity’s long-standing awareness of these seasonal rhythms, modern healthcare systems, particularly in the United States, continue to respond with a predominantly pharmaceutical-centered model....

Understanding Your Inner and Outer Senses: A Holistic Guide to Interoception, Exteroception, and Proprioception

In the world of holistic health, awareness is everything. Cultivating mindfulness and tuning into both the body and the environment are foundational to wellness. But did you know that your body has specialized ways of sensing the world within and around you? Also, not just through the classic five senses, but through internal systems of perception that guide how you feel, move, and connect with life....

Cupping Therapy vs. Bruising

Understanding Practice, Physiology, and Misconceptions In today’s wellness landscape, cupping therapy has re-emerged as a widely used modality for relieving pain, improving circulation, and supporting holistic healing. Despite its growing popularity, many people unfamiliar with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) often confuse the distinct circular marks left by cupping with bruises from injury. Though they appear similar, the mechanisms, meanings, and physiological effects are fundamentally different....
