We have all hear that it is better to give than to receive.

But why is that so?

This week we're going to take a look at tithing.
What it is and how it can benefit YOU.  


Tithing is not only about giving 10% of your income to a charitable cause, it's also about your contribution to society.

Simple things like cleaning up before you leave a hotel room or picking up trash on the street helps to build your "intelligent self-interest," as one of my favorite philosophers Jim Rohn calls it.

Intelligent self-interest is a deep concept that is wrapped around that idea that when I help the whole, I help myself.

By preforming small acts of kindness and by doing something when you see something, you build confidence, worth and self-esteem.


In this week’s video “Tithing - The Gift Of Giving” I explain the importance of being generous with your resources, which includes your money and your energy.


The metal element relates to your finances and wealth.

Watch the video to learn how to tell if someone is generous or uptight by looking at the size of their nostrils.

Discover Qigong tools that aid in clearing financial blockages and stinginess. Bring about more abundance, goodness and prosperity into your life.

One of the many reasons why I love Qigong, meditation and martial arts is that it gives me a frame work to live my life in
harmonious equilibrium.

When you give back, weather its time, money or energy, you are creating space for more balance and happiness in your life.
It's quite amazing if you really think about it.


Be well and Qi ya later, my friend.
