Everything that we grasp is momentary at best, the basis of posting of my image is bu****it. Whatever you want for yourself is mere ego, facade, deception. We now live in the age of supreme deception, my one desire is that folks listen to what silence can offer them...

After of a few years of reflection, and losing friends and clients and thanks to a deep and varied toolbox of meditation and movement and also faith, yes faith, I thankfully rediscovered a tiny glimmer of inspiration to stick to the ideas that visit me in silence. I really thought my creative juices had abandoned me. I want to thank my close friends and students alike for supporting the real taoism studio and having my back.
I do my best to teach from my experience and from the insights gleaned from working with many wonderful people across all walks of life.
I had an interesting day at one of the worlds largest asset management banks to present Qi Gong to them, which I did in my own way and based on 40 years of trial and error by applying what I have learned.
Some comments from some folks at Schroders!
“Truly fascinating insights.”
“Chris' stories were very interesting.”
“[I particularly enjoyed] the explanation of moving energy creating a natural healing of physical pain and mental anxiety.”
“[I particularly liked the presenter’s] honesty and openness - the feeling of benefiting from a lifes endeavour.”
“He seemed to have a wealth of knowledge and experience.”

Standing Practice once realised is a valuable neuro-physiologival self actualized feeback loop from the Earth Sky, as the Heart merely lingers here for a while. In Daoism/ Taoism this referred to as Sitting/ Standing to forget.

2023 Happy New Year to all past , present and future students, friends who have maintained and supported my investigations into the inner world. I cannot say with any certainty that my inner experieces warrant description. Words are inadequate when attempting to fix that which cannot be fixed, or for that matter even needs fixing. Inwardly we question ourselves to understand existence, whilst at the same time we search outside ourselves for some elusive answer to the world and our place in it.
To state that all beings are connected is very easy and can be repeated, in parrot fashion. What appears as our own life force seamlessly enters and leaves others and yet we constantly fail to recognize the meaning of this, that is, ' We are one another another'. What if by raising your frequency you discover an alternative mode of living, free of judgement and fear. May joy and stillness inwardly arise in everyone, in this moment 🙏 CRC
My regular Monday Class presently explores Standing from a classical viewpoint and the experience of practicing and professionally teaching for almost 4 decades. Oh dear, that long. Drawing on a committed research spanning human dissection and in depth mind training with my Tibetan Teachers and Chinese teachers of IMA you know you are on safe ground to stand and be well. If you are compromised this training is equally valid when sitting.
The basic subscription is £10 pw. Unwaged etc. In pain, adrift, that is OK. Just email me. As folk say now buy me a coffee.
Don't waste time for what we make of time is what life is made up of.

Your mind predicates every aspect of Qi Gong's theory and Internal Arts practice. Your mind is essential to transforming your body and energy to sustain your health and strength and even
relationships.
All human movement is an exercise; when you become aware of this, every daily activity is an experience that sustains overall health. Even ordinary human movement can be a healthful integration that naturally will occur if you are vigilant.
Of course, one has to take up a practice, and the
benefits are not necessarily the ones you expected!
Like a young man who trained with me with the desire to alleviate his anxiety, he was surprised when a chronic knee issue ( which was unconsciously linked to anxiety ) healed! This is not an unusual outcome from regular practice. realtaoism.com est teaching since 1988

What is the purpose of your movement. The practice of Qi Gong literally meaning ( breath work ) is since the 1950's a term that refers to folk practices and the self cultivation of body mind and spirit informed by Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian concepts with the aim to access the body ( and its life force ) which is the most accessible to work with. The calming of emotional turbidity is more tricky to transmute, and then there is mind which is quite a tough element to dificult to deal with. The me, I amd myself along with innner judge and Jury and executioner is the most important aspect to pacify to free oneself up from. If you find yourself simply arm waving and think qi gong practice is self entertainment or a spiritual path then STOP now. If you are a no strain no pain addict to self abuse you will be blind to the benefits of balance so jog on. If you are addicted to feeling safe and cozy energy, know that, that is worse than addiction to he**in. Take up Salsa or Morris Dancing, you will get more out of that than indulging in pseudo-spiritual nonsense.

This is one for the record! Unlike the Tai Chi handshake this is the Tai Chi sandwich. Left of frame, the not so inscrutable duo of John Ding, 1st disciple of Ip Tai Tak and on the right BK Frantzis disciple of Lui Hung Chieh. I invested roughly 10 and 17 years respectivly analysing their teaching methods. In retrospect both incrediibly talented and for sure well versed in Nei Gong. On the cobbles ( in a violent encounter ) there is only one of them I would want by my side. The most obvious take away is that the vast majority TCC aspirants hide behind their projections of the invincibilty of their teachers. It is a malady that afflicts the self defence industry en masse. To reify and project a cult status onto Tai Chi veterans is a form masochism and self delusion. Bottom line, feeding ego's is good business. 95% of TCC is useless for self defence because it is not reality tested. If you do even moderately you end up with 4 training buddies and no business. 🙏
