Health
I believe in the healing properties in the so called alternative modalities including yoga, qigong, tai chi, shiatsu massage and traditional chinese medicine (TCM). I recommend the following:
- a daily self-massage e.g. the Japanese Do-In: self massage routine
- standing meditation called Zhan Zhuang e.g. a 10 day program by Master Lam Kam Chuen.
