TIPS FOR FILMING YOUR WORLD TAI CHI & QIGONG DAY EVENTS ...

Provided courtesy of multi-award-winning documentarian, and Executive Producer of "Quantum Qi: The Taoist Art of Living"


Quick Filming Guidelines for World Tai Chi Day. We prefer horizontal for World Tai Chi and Qigong Day but these are good tips for social media as well. 


**1. Choose Your Format – When to Use Vertical vs Horizontal** we prefer horizontal for World Tai Chi and Qigong Day but these are good tips for social media as 


- **Vertical (Portrait – Phone held upright)**  

 Best for: Solo practice, short social media clips (Instagram Reels, TikTok, Stories, YouTube Shorts) 

 Why: Looks natural on phones, fills the screen, easy to watch while scrolling, great for closeChi Da energy and details of movements. Fill frame with head to toe of subject allowing some room for movement. 

 Tip: Hold phone vertically, film in 9:16 ratio.


- **Horizontal (Landscape – Phone turned sideways)** 

 Best for: Group practice, wider scenes, main World Tai Chi Day videos, documentary-style footage 

 Why: Shows the whole group, space, and harmony between people; better for YouTube, Facebook, or sharing with media. 

 Tip: Film in 16:9 ratio.



**2. Simple Setup Rules (Same for Both)**

- Film in **good natural light** (early morning or late afternoon is ideal – avoid harsh midday sun or dark shadows). 

- Keep a **clean, calm background** (nature, park, quiet wall – no clutter, people walking by, or bright distractions). 

- Stand far enough back so the **full body is visible** from head to toe (step back or zoom out slightly – don’t cut off feet or head). 

- Hold the camera **steady** – use a tripod, phone stand, or lean it against something. No shaky handheld if possible. 

- Film in **quiet location if possible (avoid talking over movements unless explaining).



**3. Quick Shooting Tips**

- Start with 10–30 seconds of stillness (standing in Wuji or opening posture) before beginning the form. 

- Do the full form or a nice 1–2 minute section slowly and clearly. 

- For groups: Arrange in neat rows or a gentle curve so everyone is visible. 

- End with stillness again and a gentle bow or closing. 

- Film **both** vertical AND horizontal versions if you can – it gives more options!



**4. After Filming – Easy Sharing**

- Keep videos short (under 60 seconds for social, longer for documentary). 

- Add text overlay: “World Tai Chi Day 2026 – [Your City/Country]” 


????- Tag #WorldTaiChiDay and any official accounts.


These rules keep all videos looking professional, peaceful, and unified – perfect for raising awareness and creating beautiful shared content.


**********

IN THIS NEWSLETTER ...



Dear World Tai Chi & Qigong Day Supporters,


BIG NEWS!

  • The National Qigong Association (NQA) announces World Tai Chi & Qigong Day 2026 to their members!
  • Clara Apollo's "Chi Time" program which interviewed WTCQD Founder as host of UK HEALTH RADIO, will be holding an online live WTCQD event in England and for Europe on WTCQD.
  • Qigong Master Summit will be live on WTCQD honoring our 27th year! (See below)
  • South Africa will be joining our global wave! (See below)
  • See media links to media articles on WTCQD 2026 below.


A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDERS ...

We really hope you can join us on the live WTCQD 12 hour podcast (see below). We're changing the world year after year according to science!


Me and Angie have been social and political activists for human rights, etc. for many decades. But, what science has shown us is that when people come together in healing, health, connection, and compassion that is when we can have the biggest impact on the world. We don't "become powerful," we "relax out of the way of our power" as we become empty vessels for the universe to flow through.


That's why this year's World Tai Chi & Qigong Day 2026 is DEDICATED to, just two of the incredible people like all of you organizing WTCQD events, Master Li Junfeng and to Dr. Rollin McCraty (Research Director at HeartMath Institute). Two men who discovered through Internal Arts and through Science that love is the foundation of the universe. Their work shows the POWER of Heart Centered Consciousness. When we do Tai Chi & Qigong, and lose ourselves in the sense of "the movements flowing us" rather than us "directing the movements," that is when Dr. McCraty's research reveals what is happening to us ... and it is profound on many levels. Master Li Junfeng, for nearly 30 years to my knowledge has extolled all of us in the Internal Arts world to understand the Qi is "love of the universe." When we are in a Qi state, we feel connected to everyone ... because we are.





We hope YOU & ALL get involved in the live 12 hour Global Podcast of WTCQD events and organizers. THIS'LL BE FUN, DON'T MISS OUT!


Here's how you can be a part of this historic, fun event.

Clara Apollo, who's doing the live WTCQD UK/Europe based livestream, interviewed WTCQD Founder for UK Health Radio Network on "Mind Body is transforming the entire planet."





Dear World Tai Chi & Qigong Day Supporters,




THIS YEAR'S WTCQD DEDICATION ...


The past few years we've dedicated each years World Tai Chi & Qigong Day to different people, like Dr. Effie Chow. This year we are dedicating WTCQD to "two" people who have changed the Tai Chi & Qigong culture worldwide.

 

This 2026 will be dedicated to "Rollin McCraty, Research Director at HearthMATH Institute, and to Master Li Junfeng" for their critically important work educating the world about the power of the "Middle Dan Tien" ... the heart center.



HeartMATH's research and Master Li's profound insight into our heart and love being at the center of Tai Chi & Qigong" has profoundly increased the effectiveness of the way many people like me now do and teach our Tai Chi and Qigong. From that Heart Centered space.


We honor these two for their external/scientific and internal/qigong approaches that arrive at the same conclusion ... the heart consciousness, love, is the most powerful force ... and Mind Body practices like Tai Chi & Qigong can enable us to let go of what we are, so we can become what we might be ... LOVE.


These men's work is a treasure to our planet and to the Tai Chi, Chi Kung, and Mind Body community.



Yours in Qi,


William & Angela Wong Douglas

THIS FIRST VIDEO IS OUR INTERVIEW WITH DR. ROLLIN MCCRATY, Director of Research for HeartMATH Institute, whom WTCQD 2026 is dedicated to.


Why should Tai Chi & Qigong practitioners & teachers know about Dr. McCraty & HeartMATH Institute research?

Because it is "the science of Chi Kung." When we slip into the "Tai Chi or Qigong Flow," and are "feeling" rather than "thinking" we are in the "heart centered consciousness" that Dr. McCraty is showing the world is SO INCREDIBLY POWERFUL.


Dr. Rollin McCraty interview is below ... on his world-altering scientific research

Master Li Junfeng (Jet Li's Wushu Coach) interview is below ... on his world-altering heart/love centered focus in Qigong & Tai Chi, as WTCQD 2026 is dedicated to Master Li


Master Li is the foremost Qigong teacher delving deep into the "heart centered consciousness" that Dr. McCraty & HeartMATH research is revealing the power of.


WE CAN ALL LEARN SOMETHING PROFOUND BY LETTING MASTER LI INFLUENCE OUR PRACTICE & TEACHING!

SEE THE SCIENTIFIC DATA SHOWING "WORLD TAI CHI & QIGONG DAY MEASURABLY INCREASED COHERENCE IN GLOBAL CONSCIOUSNESS."


This was courtesy of the past 20-year Director of Research and Princeton University Engineering Anomalies Research Laboratory (the famed PEAR Labs, Google it), who is the currently the Director of The Global Consciousness Project, hosted by the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), referred to many times in the new blockbuster novel by famed Da Vinci Code novelist, Dan Brown, in his new exciting novel "The Secret of Secrets."


THESE ARE AMAZING TIMES. See WTCQD data on changing the world.

"One World ... One Breath"
















FREE ALL DAY LONG ON WORLD TAI CHI DAY 2026 ON AMAZON KINDLE EBOOKS!

Tell your friends, it's free, a book of Mind Body Science that has changed people's lives by enabling them to KNOW the power of their Mind Body practices are PROVEN BY SCIENCE!


LEARN THE SCIENCE TO KNOW HOW TAI CHI & QIGONG ARE LITERALLY, SCIENTIFICALLY CHANGING THE WORLD IN HUGE WAYS!!

READ the REAL book of science that will change the world, "The Gospel of Science: Mind Blowing New Science on Ancient Truths to Heal Our Stress, Lives, and Planet" (2nd edition)



THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN famed author Dan Brown's new blockbuster "Secret of Secrets," WORLD TAI CHI & QIGONG DAY, AND "THE GOSPEL OF SCIENCE" ARE ERIE.


Brown opens his novel with a Nikolai Tesla quote, 'when science turns it's gaze from the material to consciousness, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the history of science.'


"The Gospel of Science ..." (2nd edition) opens with that very same Tesla quote on page 1 of Brown's book. Page 1 of "The Gospel of Science..." opens with the very same quote. Then, "The Gospel of Science..." unfolds the reams of even more thought provoking science most people do not know about.





Introduction to the Science of Personal & Global Health

 

"The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena [consciousness], it will make more progress in one decade than it has in all the previous centuries of existence."

-- Nikola Tesla, (called ‘the man that invented the 20th century’)

EMN, Enlightenment Media News[1]

 

It has been said that, “Knowledge is power.” This also means that ‘A lack of knowledge, is a lack of power.’ This book of pure science is about to unfold a knowing of world altering power you have within you—right now. If you have grown attached to a gray hopeless vision of the future—this book will shatter it with hope!
