[include file=get-in-itunes.html] We had a really interesting discussion about Qigong today.We were honored to have on Tristan Truescott and Peter Ragnar the creators of Good Morning Good Evening Qigong. I was amazed that Peter has been practicing Qigong for over 60 years and Tristan has been heavily into it for many many years as well.
Qigong is a form of “energy” (Qi) “work” (Gong) that people can do to decrease stress, increase their energy as well as their vitality. To be honest I’ve only been doing it for about 6 months now (nothing compared to Tristan and Peter) but I really enjoy it and feel a noticeable difference.
There’s a reason that Qigong has been around for thousands and thousands of years. Just because we don’t know much about the practice here in the West doesn’t mean it’s not valid, it just means that we’re ignorant of its benefits.
The idea behind Qigong is that every cell in essence is simply vibrating forms of energy. If you look into quantum mechanics and string theory this idea that we’re all energy is what these scientific disciplines are all about. They study photons, quarks and the most elemental particles in existence. They all vibrate and they all act as energy.
The idea is that energy in the body comes from somewhere and it’s actually possible to cultivate that energy. We can store it and build it for use throughout the day. Have you ever been around somebody and notice how you feel like they suck the energy out of you? Perhaps it’s their petty little dramas that they suck you into or maybe it’s some emotional situation where you feel drained afterwards.
When you get involved in that downward spiral vortex of negative energy, you start to notice an emotional and energetic drainage going on. You feel tired and without any vitality.
This energy has been described by some as a one time battery pack of energy that we get when we’re born and when we use it all up, then our soul says it’s time to check off the planet and move onto bigger and better things.
What if there were a way (similar to sleep) where we could actually restore this energy that’s lost that would help us add years to our life and life to our years? Well, Qigong is the best way to do that.
In the West we participate in many “Yang” or is it “Yin” exercises that deplete our bodies of energy like lifting weights, going for a run, bike riding or playing sports. These are all exercises that steel our one time battery pack of life force away from us. There’s nothing wrong with that and they’re actually really amazing for getting rid of pent up aggression, anger or stress.
But still that energy is being lost.
On top of that, the rest of your day is most likely very stressful which also depletes our core energy. Then to add insult to injury most of us aren’t getting enough sleep (which is similar to Qigong in that it helps the body to restore energy). Even worse most people are eating foods that further rob them of essential energy.
No wonder chronic fatigue is rampant, everybody is tires and few people live inspired lives full of vitality and passion! We have all of these “things” each day that are constantly robbing our body of energy.
So what’s the answer?
Qigong is the best way to restore this energy back into the body. Having this energy allows you to sleep better (which further helps all biological processes), to heal faster and have more inspiration to actually accomplish those dreams you had many years ago.
It’s an amazing art that’s been practiced in the East for over 4,000 years and it’s my contention that we would all be much better off if we opened our minds up to be able to accept some of these practices into our stress filled lives.

We discuss the following and so much more:
Tristan Truscott used Qigong to heal his body from a crippling back injury. Learn how he did it! Listen now – Click to tweet this!
In the year 2000 Tristan was forced to end his career, due to a crippling back injury. Even after 5 years of intense pain, $10,000 worth of alternative healing treatments, and an unsuccessful $90,000 surgery, Tristan was still unable to walk properly, let alone teach again…Read More…
In spite of the pain and disappointment, Tristan pushed onward, reading and studying everything he could about the power of the subconscious mind, visualization, affirmation, meditation, qigong healing and the law of attraction. One day, after years of research, trial and error and wonderful Ah-Ha moments, Tristan finally had his breakthrough. He discovered how to allow the flow of life force energy, combined with the power of his own mental focus, to reverse his condition and expedite his healing.
This exciting discovery, of how the mind-body-spirit connection worked, gave Tristan the ability to fully recover from the injury that had crippled him for so many years. In a desire to share this information with others, Tristan went on to create programs with his wife Sabrina for healing the mind and strengthening the body, using ancient and contemporary mind-body-spirit exercises — these programs have evolved into the Satori Method.
Today Tristan loves helping people grow physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually; it is a joy for him to give back and share what he has learned though his life challenges. Since his healing Tristan built a new mind-body transformation and healing center with over 450 students and co-created the online Satori Method Academy with Sabrina (a.k.a. Angel).
About Peter RagnarPeter Ragnar is an internationally recognized author of twenty-nine books, as well as a speaker, qi gong master, and spiritual mentor. Peter has close to sixty years of heart-based experience as a martial artist and an expert in health, fitness, and organic living. His students come from all walks of life, ranging from world-champion kickboxers and Martial Arts Hall of Fame inductees to university professors, corporate executives, students, housewives, and others.
Peter is well known among elite strength athletes. He has been included in books such as I WILL BE IRON and SUPER VITALITY by the world’s strongest man, Bud Jeffries, as well as STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING SECRETS OF THE WORLD’S GREATEST FIGHTERS by former U.S. Olympic judo coach and president of Shingitai Jujitsu John Saylor. Peter’s teaching prowess was also acknowledged by his black belt student Chris Spruiell, a two-time Martial Arts Hall of Fame inductee, in his book THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF COMBATIVE FLOW.
Additionally, martial arts master Edward Armstrong has written two books about his experience as Peter’s student. THE WISDOM OF THE MYSTIC MOUNTAIN WARRIOR developed from Armstrong’s conversations with the reclusive sage and the instruction he received in his mountaintop retreat. Peter had slipped away from the world as we commonly experience it and for thirty years lived on Mystic Mountain, on the border of the Smoky Mountains National Park; Armstrong’s quest for a spiritual master led him there after he read a book about Peter called THE MAGIC MAN. After several years of attending private seminars at Peter’s home, Armstrong related his fascinating experiences in another book, THE PATH TO MYSTIC MOUNTAIN.
In total, seven books have been written about Peter Ragnar, highlighting his influence not only on the authors, but on the people who traveled from around the globe to see him. While some of his publicity came from articles and interviews in magazines such as BLACK BELT MAGAZINE and INSIDE KUNG FU, the bulk of his exposure came from spiritual journals and magazines such as BODY, MIND & SPIRIT, WHAT IS ENLIGHTENMENT, ENLIGHTEN NEXT, and countless others. His teachings on compassion, meditation, and living in harmony with nature far overshadow his physical and material accomplishments.
KMPR 10.12It is what he has become that draws so many of us to him. His kindness, his poetic expressions and meditative reflections, and his love of quietude speak to our hearts and awaken a longing to fully open to what he has found. He spends his days with his wife Katrina on their secluded farm, along with six dogs and three cats. He prefers simplicity and serenity to the spotlight, but also realizes his responsibility to share the message of compassion, tolerance, and spiritual awakening with others. For this purpose, he makes himself available on www.peterragnar.com and https://www.facebook.com/sensei.peter.ragnar. Peter invites you to sign up for his free inspirational newsletter.
