The Old Ways

Yoga has been practiced since the dawn of recorded history. So has qigong. The principles and precepts of tai chi are ancient... These methods have been proved over millennia.

Freedom from chit-chat

Talking is considered to be a form of restlessness, of agitation. Curious? Only when the mind is both silent and still can deeper thought take place, unimpeded by chit-chat.

The mind must settle. Relax. Stop.

Ceaseless activity

People seek to feel vital and alive as they grow older. They engage in vigorous activities and work hard to keep their thoughts continually occupied.

Hurrying around, taking on new commitments, watching the news, playing with technology, gossiping, getting upset about political issues...

This is not rejuvenation. It is a recipe for mental health issues, a heart attack or a stroke.
