What is a global phenomenon and what role do you play in it? As we go about our daily routines keeping the house organized, performing our jobs well, and keeping up with friends and family, we are secluded in a small nucleus of the world. Bring in meditation, Qi Gong, Yoga, and Tai Chi. These activities can be done individually, but more often than not people gather to participate in them. When this happens there is a global shift in consciousness that has been measured and documented. Lynne McTaggart with her Intention experiments has also measured this phenomenon repeatedly and has expanded programs to support people with intention gatherings.
My guest today, Bill Douglas, or World Tai Chi and Qi Gong Day, and now a second global event, Global Transformation Project, to expedite Mind Body Education worldwide, has been creating these waves of consciousness for almost three decades. Based out of the Mind Body Institute at the University of Kansas Medical Centre he offers Tai Chi classes for self-care on a weekly basis with profound results.
Doug is an award-winning author of 6 books about Mind-Body practices and meditation. He has been published in several languages and Deepak Chopra has called him a “gift” to the world. His latest book is the NEW 2ND EDITION; The Gospel of Science: Mind-blowing New Science on Ancient Truths to Heal Our Stress, Lives, and Planet. Here is the description for it:
It is not uncommon for a book to claim to be "life-altering" or "world-altering," what is rare is for authors to provide science proving their book positively affected the entire planet in a scientifically measurable way. These world-altering effects offer profoundly beautiful possibilities, not just for the planet ... but for our personal lives. The science in this book can dramatically lower your stress and improve every aspect of your life, reducing stress and igniting hope. In a world of constant alarming media, things may seem a bit hopeless at times--but new science proves the opposite--we are on the cusp of a personal and global transformation
