About the Author
I was born between wars, growing up in the swampy bottomlands of the Texas Coast, the Home Lands of the Karankawa Peoples. I was very fortunate to have grown up during a time of free reigning outdoor exploration and no cell phones!
A nature-loving practitioner of Qigong (Taiji), since 1998 under the guidance of Dr. Jingyu Gu, Hua Ching-Ni. Sixty-five years into this lifelong exploration of natural way wonders and sources of essence and fun. Working to support and promote the unleashing and restoration of the natural and reconciling powers of the subtle feminine to regain balance of an overly patriarchal society. An explorer, a wildlife conservationist, a hiker, an athlete, a naturalist, an activist, an herbalist, and a student of sustainable off-grid living, Taoism and Satyagraha (Love Force) principles.
Growing up along the Texas Coast and into the Hill Country, my keen interest in the ecology of Nature, and sports related activities moved me along an evolving pathway of exploration into the ways we utilize our amazing Body to reconnect to our natural energy sources. Qigong exercises, which combine breath control with rhythmic bodily movements, came from the “Great Dance (Da-Wu).” A dance that was patterned on movements of animals in nature some 10,000 years ago suited me perfectly.
In 1988, I began a basic stretching routine as a last ditch effort to remedy lower back pain due to a partially herniated and degenerated disk. Being a student of the game of fast-pitch softball, that required good hand/eye coordination, I was particularly alert to ways to maintain a high performance body. Over the years, this stretching routine evolved into a daily Body Attuning meditative ceremony that later I discovered, was very similar to the ancient movements of Dao-In.
In 1998, I found Dr. Jingyu Gu and my Taiji practice began. In 2012, I began studying Dao-In as described in the writings of Master Hua-Ching Ni. As l look back, I can see that my body has grown to naturally integrate all of these lessons in ways that keep me more connected to our natural Earth and Sky energy sources.
It is a great relief in learning that the truth of the natural way is actually found in the invisible unformed realms by following our most gentle, subtle and soft movements, rather than from where we were so often taught in school to aggressively follow our conceptual intellectual perceptions of our formed reality. Sometimes we have to go back to Nature to hear the thousands year old stories in order to remember how to take care of ourselves, one another, and All of Our Relations!
I am not a teacher, I’m a student. I am just passing along some very ancient and sacred ways of reconnecting to our natural energy sources so that we can get off the toxic energy grid and live together in Peace. I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to share these personal gifts with you from All of Our Relations in honoring all those ancient ones who walked this planet before us and spent their entire lives passing along this simple, amazing and empowering way of living. I have found that few other activities have more noticeably improved my wellbeing as have the meditative movements of these Qigong energy conducting exercises!
From this Sacred Place, dialed in to receive and resonate, I am opened to receive the voices of the forest who are screaming so loudly that even i can finally hear them. And i might ignore them, and let these messages fall back to Mother Earth, except that Coyote, Lion, Wolf, Raven, Grizzly, Dragonfly, Bluejay, Ashe juniper, and Hummingbird Nations are yelling the same words, praying that Human Beings will finally remember, —WHO WE ARE?
So as my Responsibility to the 7th Generations to come, the True Majority i will layout some of the words that I am hearing! Take what you need and leave the rest for others, as Uncle Harold used to say.
This Climate Emergency, and the last grasping efforts of the fading Dominator Society, are moving us into this immediate and urgent opportunity.
The time has come to reenter and restore a Sacred and Erotic Earth-based Partnership Society that will protect and take care the Children of All our Relations on Planet Mother Earth.
Just some things to Think about!
