Dragon and Tiger Qigong is a 1500-year-old self-healing medical qigong system based on the principles of acupuncture. It can be practiced by virtually anyone regardless of age or health and is one of the most beneficial sets ever developed. Over this two-week course you'll have the opportunity to go for instructor certification. Join us in Hawaii!
We have officially opened the Dragon and Tiger Qigong online course. Senior Instructor Bill Ryan will take you through the seven movements in seventy days – or ten weeks. Of course, you can go through the program at your own pace too. You can check out details and signup here:
We are going to keep the launch open for a short time and then close it down so that Bill can take the first group through the program. Grab your spot and make the Year of the Water Dragon your best ever.
In this video Senior Energy Arts Instructor Bill Ryan talks about the three principles of qigong and does a short demonstration of Dragon and Tiger Qigong where he explains a bit about each of the seven movements.
We will be launching the Dragon and Tiger Online Course with Bill Ryan within the next day.
At the end of last year, I suggested that people forgive. Forgive others and forgive themselves. And if you know you did wrong or someone else did wrong, forget the blame and emotional energy, let go and just don’t repeat it.
For this Chinese New Year we are at a time when it really pays to look over a long period of time and start changing what we all do so that things can work out much better for the long haul.
The Year of the Water Dragon is a special type of energy that only occurs every 60 years. It interesting that this falls during 2012, the supposed end of the world or the dawning of a new global spiritual awakening depending on whom you talk to. I want to give you a few perspectives on the Year of the Water Dragon that you may find interesting. Read More
Its has obviously been a big year. The biggest thing about the holidays in my opinion is to be kind and share your love with others.
Forgive everyone you can in every way so that the time the New Year comes you won't be holding onto anything. This is a great meditation. If you can let go and forgive what has happened in the last year your life will clearly be better moving into the next year. This includes both forgiving yourself and others.
Maybe you will have to take steps regarding the craziness that you have forgiven so it does not happen again. That is all good to do and remember that forgiveness helps you be free from the burdens of old creating space for the new to arrive.

Hi folks,
A short post to say we are relaunching the Bagua Mastery Program for a limited time. We have printed an initial 100 units. We are closing the program before the New Year and will not reopen until 2013. Here is the link:
Bruce with Gao Ji Wu – Current President of the Beijing Bagua AssociationIn Beijing last week I awoke super early and had the feeling I should go to the park to meet someone. I know not who! It is important to follow you hunches in life.
After rousing my wife, off we went to Tien Tan (Temple of Heaven) Park, where I used to learn and practice with Feng Zher Chiang over 25 years ago. I also spent a lot of time in the park practicing a rare form of Northern Preying Mantis which I did with Li Jing Ru who is also known for bagua.
Back then, Tien Tan Park was one of the largest and most important parks for martial artists to practice. Don’t ask me how but I have always had a knack for finding masters in the oddest ways. Today it was extremely cold, but when you have a intuition you have to see where it leads you.
When we got there we asked and were directed towards where people are practicing some martial arts. The energy didn’t feel right. We then met an elder man who pointed us in a different direction. As we walked down the road through the park, we saw people practicing with steel whips, a traditional Chinese weapon. We were definitely getting closer. Read More
From an insider’s view, Bai Yuan Guan, or the White Cloud Temple, is considered the meeting point for Taoists to connect from all over North China. The complex is the main Taoist temple in Beijing.
Over 25 years ago, from 1985-6, my Taoist master used to send me to White Cloud once or twice a week. He gave me meditation practices, which I did at two spots here. At the time I lived only a 15 minute walk away. Read More
Taoist Master Liu Hung Chieh and Bruce Frantzis in the 1980's
Last week I was interviewed by China Radio International (CRI) about my experiences in China in the mid 1980′s. Please enjoy:
Born and raised in the USA, Bruce Frantzis spent a total of 11 years in China in the 70s and 80s. He was one of the few foreigners studying martial arts in this … english.cri.cn/7146/2011/12/05/2001s670230.htm
Walking through the streets of Bejing after twenty-five years is quite a trip! One astonishing sight is the pollution. Yesterday the sky was a nasty shade of grey, and you could barely see the sun through the soup. Yet I was told that it wasn’t that bad. Apparently there is “bad”, “very bad” and then ... Read More
Today in Bejing I met a friendly 17-year-old kid. He had heard of Lao Tse, but like his peers, knew little about Taoism except the simplified book of Lao Tse (the Chinese translated the Tao Te Jing from the classical Chinese characters to the simplified ones of mainland China). The Cultural Revolution, which aimed to ... Read More
