"One global . . . One Breath" . . . A massive international Public health & restoration event

two of the sector’s maximum broadly read guides, Parade magazine and united states Weekend, started outa string of media references inside the last few months, to a simply uncommon coming event.
An unprecedented international fitness & recovery occasion which is
about to extend throughout our planet, instructing on herbal health solutions, gives a vision of a international coming collectively for private and global recovery, and an urge for people to open hearts and minds to know-how from all corners of humanity for the betterment of all.
At 10 am, on the morning of Saturday, April 29th, 2006 (celebrated always on the ultimate Saturday of April every year), a mass of folks who’ve experienced the health & recovery blessings of Tai Chi & Qigong (Chi Kung), will preserve exhibitions and train-ins on those historical health tools inside the earliest time zones of latest Zealand. as the planet turns, tens of hundreds throughout hundreds of activities in sixty international locations will be a part of in as 10 am rolls across the planet time region via time sector.
A Harvard, Yale, MIT have a look at just revealed that “meditation will increase mind length” specially in creative centers of the thoughts. because the transferring meditations of tai chi & qigong enlarge in the course of towns international in public locations, they disclose tens of thousands to the mild flowing motions of transferring meditation, and with the help of world media, this second of thoughts growth is carried into millions of houses. What impact does this blanketing of the arena for one day in photos of harmony, healing, and open heartedness, have on the planet, on humanity? perhaps it expands the global mind length!
And although research hasn’t emerged in this, yet, perhaps it enlarges the planet’s coronary heart length. global Tai Chi & Qigong Day has obtained transferring testimonials from such diverse senders as an American Vietnam warfare Veteran, to a young female recovering from burns caused by a bombing run within thetrendy war, to a housewife in Belgium . . . all explaining what having the ability to take part every 12 monthsin a worldwide wave of recuperation reason has meant to them.
"by way of doing greater T'ai Chi and Qigong forms and exercises at some stage in this 12 months's global Tai Chi & Qigong Day i used to be able to undoubtedly transform that melancholic anger right into a peaceful and advantageous attitude, enhanced by knowing that people international wide had been also in a non violentlinked country of thoughts." -- Paul Claroni, American Vietnam Veteran
"pricey Mr bill, thankyou in your interesting in me and to your assist. I experience that day with all the taichi humans, my firiends and Elaine. i am feelng now not properly for now but i will hopfully be higher quickly, i like Tai chi and discover it very first-class to praktis my relaxation. preserve in contact with me and i will to. appropriate job. first-rate wishes." -- Hannan Shihab, Iraq
"I additionally ship you a picture of me that has been taken on WTCQD 30-four-2005. it's a photograph of a happy lady who could not stand for extra than ten minutes on ft 8 years ago because her whole body turned into aching ! I paintings now as a counsellor for the fitness of frame and soul ! With all my love !" -- Hilda Cardinaels, Belgium
The event is transferring and emotional, but additionally gives very sensible possibilities for global health & restoration. as an instance, approximately seven years ago a local tv news station changed into interviewing a global Tai Chi & Qigong Day (WTCQD) occasion organizer, the morning earlier than the event. A womanbecome watching the interview and studying about clinical studies on tai chi & qigong’s capacity to in all likelihood assist with chronic ache and restrained mobility. The female advised her daughter, who wasgetting better from being hit by means of a car and experiencing chronic ache and restrained mobility, that she have to go to this “global tai chi day” event and find out about tai chi.
She and her daughter did emerge as attending, and from there, not only learned tai chi & qigong by means ofjoining nearby instructions, but the daughter, Linda Bowers, have become a tai chi teacher. Linda now teaches tai chi at numerous locations along with one for the Kansas state women’s prison, where she has taught fifty women the tai chi lengthy form, and five of those ladies have received coaching certificate that Linda supplied to the Governor of Kansas remaining year. these ladies’s lives are modified for the higher for all time. I don't forget once I taught tai chi & qigong for the courtroom drug rehabilitation software in Kansas metropolis, and addicts within the software would thank me after lessons for giving them a danger to sensenicely-being in place of gnawing want. Their lives have been modified for all time, due to the fact now they had existence equipment that no one had ever told them existed.
Multiply Linda’s tale by means of the tens of lots taking part international in sixty international locations at the ultimate Saturday of April each 12 months, and you have a global-converting occasion in every feel of the phrase.
