On today’s Mindful Mud episode, I speak with Dr Yang Jwing-Ming, world-renowned martial arts master and founder of YMAA. I’ve been fortunate to train with him for over a decade in Qi Gong and Tai Chi Chuan. In this conversation, we explore the depth of these practices and the philosophy behind them.
We begin with Dr. Yang’s own path into martial arts, then explore what Qi is, what Qi Gong is, and why feeling matters most in these practices. We talk about the Yin and Yang dimension of life, the role of breath, and the difference between true relaxation and collapse. From there we open into more explorations: the connection of our physical health and spiritual life, wisdom mind and emotional mind, and the deeper essence of Qi Gong and Tai Chi Chuan as a way to live with more clarity, steadiness, and joy.
Come listen if you’re ready for less stress, more vitality, and a path that supports a wiser, more meaningful life.
