Dear World Tai Chi & Qigong Day Supporters,


I have been on an AMAZING adventure on 2 tracks, EXPERIENCING VIRTUAL MIRACLES.


1) Mind Body immersion (Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Meditation, Mindfulness, and a bit of Yoga).


2) A multi-year journey into the science on how Mind Body practices are PROVEN to unlock the power of our consciousness, yes, for healing ... but, sooooo much more.




BELOW I DESCRIBE A VIRTUAL TAI CHI MIRACLE I BEHELD THIS WEEK WHILE TEACHING MY 6 YEAR-OLD GRANDSON TAI CHI ... THAT SHOWED THE POWER OF TAI CHI & QIGONG ... WHEN OUR CONSCIOUSNESS OPENS TO LARGER AND LARGER AWARENESS OF WHAT'S POSSIBLE.

KNOWEDGE IS POWER (not poetry, see below, a physical reality).


As you, readers of our newsletters, know by now, I am now a couple of months into official Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Meditation classes with my 6 year-old grandson, and recently added his neighbor-friend who is 6-years-old as well. This has been a laboratory for my science / mind body experiments ... AND IT IS BECOMING MIND BLOWING, and has global implications for all of us.

TWO THINGS HAPPENED AT THIS TAI CHI FOR 6 YEAR-OLD BOYS CLASS

1) I showed them the above video of me shooting 11 out of 12 shots in a row from the 3-point line on a basketball court ... telling them, "Look, look at what Tai Ch & Meditation did for me. I was not a good basketball player before I learned these things. Now, I can make 3-pointers one after the other.


2) I gave them a Tai Chi, Chi Kung, and Meditation class.


AFTER THE CLASS A VIRTUAL MIRACLE OCCURRED ...

We bowed to each other to end the class, and then my grandson picked up a small toy basketball, and asked, "Yeh Yeh, how far should we stand away from the basket to make a 3-pointer?"


I replied, "You'd have to stand all the way over against the far wall of the basement (about 15, 16 feet from the rather tiny toy basketball goal/hoop)."


My grandson took the ball, and NAILED the basket, RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE GOAL ... FROM 15 FEET OR SO AWAY.

THEN, his friend attending the class said, "Let me try."


AND HE NAILED IT, DRAINED THE SHOT RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE, FROM 15 FEET AWAY!!! IT WAS MIND-BOGGLING. 2 SIX-YEAR-OLD BOYS FROM 15 FEET AWAY. That ball was barely smaller than the goal hoop was. This was an Extraordinary Consciousness Experience.


YOU SEE ... THESE 2 SIX-YEAR-OLD BOYS

1) HAD NOT BEEN TAUGHT THAT WHAT THEY JUST DID WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO

2) THEY HAD JUST SEEN IN VIDEO THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE

3) THEY "RELAXED OUT OF THE WAY OF THEIR BODY" USING TAI CHI & QIGONG


Science reveals that perhaps the greatest indicator of our future state of being is "our vision" of our future state of being. It seems to create a magnet for reality to form around, and draws things into place ... WHEN WE USE MIND BODY PRACTICES TO "RELAX OUT OF THE WAY" OF THIS HIGHER ORDER. This is what "Wu Wei" looks like in the physical world. These two 6-year-olds were experiencing Wu Wei ... and performed a miraculous feat!


There's really profound and meaningful and empowering science out there ... that no one in mainstream culture or media ever talks about. But, they should be! So, we do here. So that YOU can too!


WE, THE GLOBAL MIND BODY COMMUNITY COULD BE TELLING THE WORLD THAT SCIENCE PROVES THAT MIND BODY COULD LITERALLY CHANGE THE WORLD IN MASSIVE WAYS!


When I share this vision of Mind Body Education & Local Mind Body Teachers working together to create local Mind Body Education curriculums ... I get 2 responses ...


1) Oh, nice idea. NEVER going to happen, and you're a bit crazy or stupid to think it can.


or, you can choose the path I have chosen,


2) The path I have chosen, and I invite you along, is to keep remarking LOOK AT THE SCIENCE ... IT IS THE MOST STUPID THING IN THE WORLD THAT WE ARE NOT EDUCATING PUBLIC EDUCATION STUDENTS IN SCIENCE-PROVEN MIND-BODY CONNECTION SCIENCES! WE ARE BLEEDING OUR NATIONAL TREASURES DRY-ER EVERY YEAR WE PUT THIS OFF!

It is insane we are not already doing this worldwide!


You see, the combination of these 2 six-year-old boys

1) Seeing me, a fellow human, just draining 3-pointer after 3-pointer, and then telling them, "See, this is what Tai Chi & Meditation can do!"

and

2) Then them doing Tai Chi, Chi Kung, & Meditation for a 1/2 hour after seeing that ... WAS A POWERFUL COMBINATION.


The science shows me that the combination of 1) planting the vision that human beings could do what they did (see above video), and then 2) having a Tai Chi Mind Body class to relax, open to possibility... is what enabled their mind-boggling accuracy ON THEIR FIRST SHOTS.


THE GLOBAL TRANSFORMATION PROJECT IS A "SEED PLANTING" MOVEMENT THAT WE ALL CAN BE A PART OF.


OUR VISION OF OUR FUTURE IS PROFOUNDLY IMPORTANT. That is why I collected the 100s of pages of science on the power of our consciousness and mind body's proven ability to unleash that power ... because when we understand and BELIEVE in this hopeful science-based future ... it opens the portal for it to become manifest. JUST LIKE TWO 6-YEAR-OLD BOYS SWISHED THREE-POINTERS, ONE AFTER THE OTHER. They saw the vision of it in the video, and then let it manifest before my very eyes.


The reason we keep urging everyone to visit www.GlobalTransformationProject.org and get familiar with the vision and get familiar with the mountain of science backing it up ... that by making Mind Body Education a core part of Public Education would save society trillions of dollars year after year after year, and address humanity's most pressing health, social, and economic challenges ... is painting a vision for the universe to manifest.


AGAIN, SCIENCE SHOWS OUR VISION OF OUR FUTURE IS A MOST POWERFUL INDICATOR OF OUR FUTURE STATE OF BEING ...

Too many get a rather dismal, powerless image of the future from politicians, news media, entertainment, and popular culture in general.


But, it's not fact-based; it's just fear-based, cause fear sells. I get into all this in "The Gospel of Science ..." (FREE on Sept. 10th on Amazon.com Kindle). I teach in hospitals, and know that fear media is contributing to the illness of students/patients in my hospital classes. People need vision.


"Where there is no vision ... the people perish."

-- PROVERBS (editor's note, not trying to sell religion, just citing truth.)


PROVIDING PEOPLE A POSITIVE VISION OF THE FUTURE, BASED IN REALITY, AND SCIENCE ... IS A POWERFUL GOOD TO DO FOR PEOPLE. We give you the science, for free, so that you can do what we are doing. Changing the world. It's fun, and science shows we get healthier when we help others.


When the Tai Chi, Chi Kung, and Mind Body community world-wide gets everyone to realize we can fix most of our society & world's challenges with Mind Body Education as a core part of Public Education ... and gets parents talking to their local schools about it ... and get teachers talking to their administrations about it ... we will be changing the world's "future vision." Science shows our vision of our future is a most powerful indicator of what our future will become.


And in the meantime, everyone we educate about this hopeful vision for our future ... and how much better everything can be ... it is changing those people's lives just from seeing a brighter future ... and science shows this changes the world.


Be a visionary. Share this vision. If you get our newsletters, you must have at some point gotten some great benefit from Mind Body in your own life. You know this is true, and when you look at the science you'll know it's a fact, and a very pleasant, hopeful fact. Get the free book. Look at the science. Sign the Petition at www.GlobalTransformationProject.org. We can be a healing part of history.


WE INVITE YOU TO ...

1) Get the FREE book on Sept. 10th on Amazon Kindle

2) Start sharing the amazing science in that book with the public and students, so that your students realize clearly that amazing things can be experienced from practicing Mind Body regularly.

3) Start pointing out the obvious, once you read the science, IT IS INSANE WE ARE NOT EDUCATING PUBLIC EDUCATION STUDENTS ON THEIR NATURAL MIND-BODY CONNECTION, AND SELF-HEALING ABILITIES.


We can change the world ... and our belief and vision will become contagious, and it will lift people out of a despairing, stressful vision of the future ... and as science shows, will thereby become our future.


Yours in the MAGIC of Qi,


Bill Douglas, Founder of World Tai Chi & Qigong Day



MUCH MORE EXCITING NEWS BELOW ...

Spreading Qi into the Film & Music industry.

2) NQA National Conference in Denver (scroll down for more or to register), SEPT. 8, 9TH & 10TH IN DENVER.

3) MARK YOUR CALENDAR ... FOR SEPTEMBER 10TH, when the Founder's of World Tai Chi & Qigong Day's life & world-altering book, "THE GOSPEL OF SCIENCE: Mind Blowing New Science on Ancient Truths to Heal Our Stress, Lives, & Planet (2nd edition) WILL BE FREE ALL DAY ON SEPTEMBER 10TH ON AMAZON KINDLE EBOOKS ALL DAY. Be sure to watch below video.


It's free 4 times per year, see this video for other dates.


Every Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Meditation, Yoga, and Mindfulness practitioner and teacher NEEDS to get this free book, and learn this science on the power of our consciousness ... and the many ways mind body is proven to unleash that power ... because, it will empower your current Mind Body practice. This isn't a book to get readers to do "this guys style, or that lady's qigong" ... it is science showing that what you are practicing and teaching can be even more powerful if you understand what it's potential is. This knowing would make your practice more powerful, and then your students (if you teach) would be empowered to get more out of what they are practicing.


If we see everything like competition in our Internal Arts world ... our arts will whither. I have opened my mind and heart to leading minds in science and mind body, to compile this amazing, largely unknown science on the power of YOU, and mind body's amazing ability to unleash it.


GIVE US 10 MINUTES ... WATCH THIS VIDEO ... and we believe then you'll take a minute to MARK YOUR CALENDAR for September 10th, when the book of science is free on Amazon.com Kindle ebooks all day.

Ancient Wisdom That Bill Douglas Modernizes with Science to reveal Humanity’s potential.


It was synchronistic that I met Bill Douglas when I recently enrolled in his TaiChi QiGong Saturday classes in Kansas. I downloaded the audio book on a Sunday and finished listening to it by the Friday as I drove my work territory that week. There are two editions to this book: I suggest to get the 2nd edition released in the last 2-3 years because Bill updates his original research with modern day data that even more proves the research with results.


Before this, for two years, I have been learning more about the benefits of breathwork, staying still and transcendental meditation towards spiritual (not religious) awakening. The chapters in this book bridges ancient wisdom that we forgot and now rediscovered using scientific/biological/modern words more relatable in today’s society. Bill often refers to the over 50trillion cells in the human body and if become conscious of them… and truly celebrate them… they have divine intelligence in each cell to help us get centered and find our true selves. There is a chapter when Bill is having coffee with his wife overseas and he suddenly sees people’s auras… with the brightest auras from people vibrating in higher frequencies (of happiness from less complicated existence in spirit… I’m paraphrasing).


You dont need to be a religious or spiritual person to read this book, but you will be transformed in your understanding of yourself better and then in how you understand your neighbor better (foreign and domestic)… and treating yourself and your neighbor with kindness, empathy and respect which is MORE directly related than we remember. I have since started a second 8 week TaiChi Class that Bill teaches. I bought a hard copy of the book because I love to reread sections that remind me more of my potential as child of humanity, the planet and of Source.

Eye Opening, Mind Expanding


From the very first page, it is clear the authors did an extensive amount of research while also including their own life experiences. The AI narrator takes a little bit to get used to, but overall is very well done.





Theresa

5 out of 5 stars

A blend of personal experience and research


The author has done his research and demonstrates how it applies to our lives. Love and coherence are as much a theme of this book as is science. Written in layman’s language, but also includes references to technical articles if you want to delve deeper.

What we all need to know!


Bill Douglas speaks and writes from the heart. When you read this book you will feel that Bill is right there in the room with you, talking to you. Bill demonstrates through irrefutable science that we really are all one, how truly powerful we are, how vitally essential it is to be in touch with our inner core, how we (individually and as a human race) are evolving into better beings and so much more! We are also learning that Tai Chi, Qigong, yoga, meditation and mindfulness practice are transformational and that these modalities are the keys to living MORE fulfilled lives. OMG....there is so much in this great book! A page turner for sure.


What we all need to know!

"The Power of Breath, Movement, and Mindfulness—Explained Through Science"


In The Gospel of Science, William Douglas masterfully bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science, offering a compelling exploration of how meditative and movement-based practices like Tai Chi, Qigong, and mindfulness can create profound changes—both individually and globally. This is not just a book; it’s a wake-up call to the healing potential hidden within each of us.


Douglas presents a unique synthesis of cutting-edge scientific research and spiritual insight, revealing how these practices affect brain chemistry, reduce stress, and even alter genetic expression. His clear, heartfelt writing style makes complex ideas accessible without dumbing them down, guiding readers through fascinating studies and spiritual philosophies with clarity and grace.


What sets this book apart is its unifying tone—it appeals to the scientist, the seeker, and the skeptic alike. Douglas doesn’t push an agenda; he invites exploration. Whether you come from a background of faith, wellness, activism, or curiosity, you’ll find a thread of connection that grounds and uplifts.


At its heart, The Gospel of Science is a call to consciousness. It suggests that through personal transformation—through breath, movement, and awareness—we can ignite a collective evolution toward peace, health, and sustainability. It’s a deeply hopeful work that inspires action not through fear, but through empowered understanding.


🔹 Highly recommended for readers interested in the intersection of science and spirituality, mind-body practices, or global healing. It's a timely and timeless read—one that leaves you both grounded and expanded.
