when in reality it is the opposite.

Spurring ourselves on to become better human beings,
we develop true regard for ourselves,
and our life will become sacred.

triggers an amazing cycle of transformation

is now in my life causes an ever greater abundance
to flow in my direction.

Through Qigong, one learns to quiet the mind
and allow communion with the One.
We call the One "Tao," but you may be more comfortable
with a term like "Holy Spirit," or "God,"
as long as you don't start visualizing
an old man on a throne floating in the sky.
The One is everything, and everything is the One.
Each of us is the One, and the One is inside each of us.
