In addition, my shadows created by the sun and me became the beginning of a compass that tells the direction. They could guess where

There is a story like this in Tao Te Ching. When we are boating or rowing on the river, if an empty boat comes from the other side and collides with it, we don't say anything. When a boat with people comes and crashes into it, it makes a displeased sound. Why? Because there are people on board.

From almost every exercise in the West, and even in school, we learn postures that lift our chests, pull our shoulders back, and our lower belly to make us look confident and show off our beautiful muscles.

In particular, bears have a strong waist, so it is said that the traditional Chinese Physician, Huatuo (He lived during the Eastern Han dynasty) saw a bear using its waist and applied it to a human to make it into a motion. So it is said that he cured diseases that could not be cured by

It is Ja Song Won In the middle of summer, the tree forest gives clear air, shade, and comfortable rest. It means to be a good person. In the old days, Koreans usually had three names.

Are there any beautiful, wonderful moments in someone's not a long life? I spent exactly three years from 2017 to May 20 in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina. And there I met beautiful people who thought there was someone like this in the world. It gave life's unforgettable exciting experiences, as if the wrong train was scary but it showed new world. Their Hi! How are you? is very special. Usually other people just say hello, but they really want to ask. The people I m

Who am I and why am I here? Aren't you curious about our life? I hope today's story will help those who want to know their inner self and source.

When one accumulates a certain level of Jinki (True Energy), he goes to the next energy level called Gongnyok. It has two parts: Negong (Energy Strengt

by Lauren J. McDermott I live and work in fast paced New York City, where I am constantly on the go. Unfortunately, I wake up frequently feeling drained and anxious. Tai Chi / Qigong online classes with River Flow Holistic help me to rejuvenate, invigorate, and regain my calm.

by Luana Salucci The moment I walked through that door I understood that I was in the right place. River Flow Holistic center was located in a quiet area of Charlotte, a small studio with big windows and fresh, natural air. I found them online, I would say it was a coincidence, but I believe it wasn’t! Juyoung Moon met me at the door and I felt a real, warm and loving energy in her hug (aw, I miss hugs soo much!). The check-up session is one of the best moment impressed in my
