"By linking my site to WorldTaiChiDay.org's comprehensive
and easy to use listing of health research, I help prospective
students with health concerns learn that Tai Chi will be both
safe and beneficial for them. Rather than reinventing the
wheel,
I just link to this health benefits page on
World Tai Chi Day's
website, and provide this
service without all the work. Thank you."

Thank you (and your helpers) for preparing the order
and many thanks to you for all you do.

ON LISTING YOUR WTCQD EVENTS ...
We just got this message from a WTCQD organizer in beautiful Ireland, and our answer may be of interest to many others wishing to list your 2017 event in our Directory ...
Hello. My name is Marie and I teach Tai Chi and Qigong in
Shannon, Co, Clare, Ireland.
I would like to take part in
World Tai Chi and Qigong Day. Do I have to register the
event and if so where can I register?
Thank you for your wonderful website and all the inspiration
it provides. It is amazing!
Thanks and best wishes.
Marie
OUR ANSWER to Marie in Ireland:
Hello Marie, and beautiful Ireland. I traveled there once,
and loved it.
Regarding your WTCQD event. You do not have to officially
list it with us. Unfortunately our website was relentlessly
hacked for month ... we got it back up finally, but the
Directory is still down.
So, for now, we encourage you to create 2 FB and social
media pages, one "World Tai Chi & Qigong Day - Shannon Co.
Clare, Ireland" and also a FB Event with that or a similar name.
When we get our Directory back up you could link your
FB pages to that Directory listing, as well.
Also, if you haven't already, be sure to "Join Our Free Email
Mailing List" at
www.worldtaichiday.org
so that you can receive
our free weekly email newsletters with event updates,
breaking medical research, etc.
Lastly, please encourage your local contacts to also join our
free email list so they can enjoy all the free Tai Chi and
Qigong resources and information we provide as a public service.

24 HOURS OF WORLD PEACE - A GLOBAL LIVESTREAM OF WORLD TAI CHI & QIGONG DAY
Margaret Reeves is turning over the front end organizing of David-Dorian Ross's "24 Hours of World Peace" Livestream video event involving World Tai Chi & Qigong Day organizers worldwide "livestreaming" their events to a new Facebook based format, rather than Youtube format (like last year). This change to FB will make it much easier to spread our global livestream of WTCQD events happening worldwide throughout the digital world.
If your WTCQD event group would like to be part of this amazing live video, livestream, happening all over the world on WTCQD, contact Colin and Joy Freeman, who are taking over for Margaret in front end organizing. You want to schedule your event's air time as soon as possible. CONTACT COLIN and JOY AT:
24hrsworldpeace@gmail.com
There are only about 6 spots available for each time zone around the world, so the earlier you schedule YOUR WTCQD EVENT, the more likely you are to be part of this historic happening.

It is time to start organizing for World Tai Chi & Qigong Day 2017 events in your local areas worldwide. Scroll down for FREE resources ...
World Tai Chi & Qigong Day's official homepage WorldTaiChiDay.org provides many free resources to help Tai Chi and Qigong enthusiasts and teachers educate the world by organizing WTCQD events.
For example, we give you FREE "Organizing Kits," and "Artwork for Posters/Banners," "Media Kits" to help you learn how to contact your media, with media lists to find your local media's contact information, and we created a FREE
"Medical Research Library" to give you access to the medical research to share with media and the public so they know the powerful healing benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong, and also we've taught groups
"How to Acquire Official Government Proclamations of your Events," and how to
use those Proclamations to gain even more media attention, etc. See below.
"Your organizing of this global event
has been very helpful in gaining media
attention for the benefits of Qi Gong &
Tai Chi and in creating awareness of
our school and classes."
-- Howard Fraracci - Qi Gong teacher
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
For 17 years we have taught local groups and teachers and individuals how to
organize a World Tai Chi & Qigong Day event in their local areas, how
to publicize it, how
to hold it, how
to work with local government and media to publicize your event and local classes, etc. and this has resulted in
gaining millions of dollars worth of FREE media coverage of Tai Chi and Qigong and local groups, teachers and classes (see below videos of just a sampling of some of the major global media we have generated together, working with local groups, that has reached millions).
By maintaining this hub for the global event at WorldTaiChiDay.org and by gathering and spreading the photos and videos from events worldwide through the website and out to the media, we have created this global wave ... this global community ... a worldwide phenomenon that media has been interested in covering all over the world (see below videos).

THE UNKNOWN ADDICTION PROCESSES OF "ANGER" AND "JUNK FOOD."
In his brilliant documentary "Supersize Me," Morgan Spurlock reveals how junk food companies do not just pick recipes for their products by taste ... but by observing the chemical reactions in the brain that cause a
real addiction to the product.
FEEDING YOUR HEAD ... THE "ANGER" ADDICTION
New research shows that not only does the "anger producing talk radio" and cable news channels that promote extreme anger in their viewers,
change your brain chemicals and function, which promotes a sort of high from the endorphin release that is part of this process ... but, it is part of political media's strategy.
If they can get you hooked on the extreme anger-endorphin release brain changes, then you will become a regular listener or viewer who keeps coming back for your fix.
Have you ever noticed how "extremely angry" many talk radio hosts are? In a new documentary "The Brainwashing of My Dad" it is revealed that getting their viewers/listeners angry is not a side effect of talk radio and cable media, but a strategy. They know that by promoting your anger, they get you hooked on chemical releases in your mind/body that will keep you coming back to them for your "fix" of anger/brain chemicals.
Comment from WorldTaiChiDay.org ...
As Tai Chi and Qigong teachers, we help students understand the mechanics of consciousness through mind-body practices we teach.
Tai Chi and Qigong are efforts to help the mind and body "untangle" from all the tight thoughts and feelings we collect and grip through our daily lives.
From the above research we find that "food" and "brain-food" (media consumption) can have a deleterious effect on our students ... if we consume food and media mindlessly. By becoming mindful of how food makes us feel, and how our media we consume "makes us feel," just like we constantly monitor how we "feel" when doing mindful exercises like Tai Chi and Qigong ... we can improve our lives.
If we spend an hour or two untangling in a Tai Chi class, and then eat foods and watch media that promotes our minds getting wired up, tight, and gripping ... that really cuts down on the benefit of our weekly Tai Chi class.

HEALTH QI ...
Chinese Medicine has always looked at FOOD as MEDICINE, today modern research is validating this!
Does good food count as health care? New research aims to find out
The idea of using food as medicine isn't new. But increasingly, doctors, health care centers, and programs such as Community Servings are looking to cement the role of healthy food in medical care. Medically tailored meal delivery is one such approach. Other programs, such as BrightBites, focus on school lunches as a way to stave off obesity and other health problems among kids. At San Francisco General Hospital, providers can prescribe fresh fruits to patients, who can get their scripts filled at the hospital's Therapeutic Food Pantry. Some medical schools have added "culinary medicine" to their course list.
