Author and teacher of meditation, qigong and internal martial arts (6th generation Baguazhang)
Six years ago, at the age of 46, I began studying internal martial arts. My maternal grandmother also practiced taiji sword. She learned these from her father.
I never imagined I’d train in these same arts. Feels good to stand at the frontier of something she also deeply loved.

Hi Mimi!!! I forgot that you are here!!! I’m so glad I can follow you here! When I do the 8 brocades with you on YouTube, I feel that productive anger for social justice and it gives me focus. Thank you!

Happy international women’s day! In celebration, I am donating to organizations helping to protect and care for Mother Earth. (I chose Sierra Club and National Parks Conservation Association!).

Trump’s second-term honeymoon is ending fast. His approval is plummeting, his policies are unpopular, and even some Republicans are pushing back. The cracks are showing, and there’s no hiding it. Catch up on the latest with The Big Picture's 'Week In Wins.'
Our Wins Of The Week
Now that we’re more than a month into this deranged lunatic’s second term, the cracks are starting to show.

It’s a very common question these days in light of all these attacks upon our Republic: Is somebody doing something?! The good news is, they are. I break it down and discuss the four kinds of responses that are happening today. Link in the replies.

No. Trump backed down because the markets were crashing. Mexico had already put 10,000 troops at the border in a deal four years ago with Biden, who didn’t have to threaten tariffs to get it.

Three of Trump’s most controversial nominees were on Capitol Hill yesterday, and their hearings were anything but smooth. But will that be enough to derail any of them? Maaaaaybe. open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

Here are 5 ways to align with the Wood Snake's energies:
1. Coil up, contemplate, and reflect: This is a perfect year to reflect on the past and learn from it. Slide into opportunities for deeper insights and wisdom instead of skimming the surface of things.

The Year of the Snake officially slithers in tomorrow! Celebrated for their intuition, perception and grace, these "little dragons" teach us to harness our inner potential, and encourage alignment with our values, wisdom, and the natural rhythms of life. Happy Snake Year! Gongxi Facai! 恭喜發財！

True leadership comes not from domination and control, but from attunement to natural rhythms, deep respect for interconnectedness,
and embracing a more humble, spacious approach to guiding ourselves and others.

Thinking a lot about the Buddha’s teachings on wise use of energy and effort. He shared 4 steps: 1) Recognize and put down what is unskillful. 2) PROTECT yourself from these forces! 3) Recognize what is skillful. 4) Steadily cultivate this. So simple yet so important ❤️
