This is so true. My first step was to understand the concept of holistic - everything is joined up - and then to realise that, given the right conditions, your body will heal itself. This, alongside tai chi, kung fu and vegan diet (we are monkeys not tigers) has kept me in excellent health for the last 44 years

🌿 Real health isn’t just physical… it starts from within.

“If you desire to gain real health, you must cultivate your character internally and strengthen your body both internally and externally.”
- Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming

True well-being goes beyond what you see on the outside.
It’s built through discipline, self-awareness, and consistent practice, inside and out.

Tai Chi reminds us that mind, body, and spirit are all connected.

✨ Strengthen from within. Move with purpose. Live with intention.

Wow! long lost writings of Confucius. I love it when lost history comes to light, as it did in 2003 when a copy of the Tai Chi Health-promoting Martial Arts manual was discovered placing the origins of tai chi in the 17th century

A LOST PORTION OF CONFUCIUS’S WORK RECOVERED

Bamboo slips (the form of Chinese books before there were paper books) containing the long-lost chapter "Zhi Dao" (Knowing Dao) of the "Qi version" of The Analects of Confucius(meaning that the slips are believed to have been transmitted by Confucian scholars in the state of Qi), which have been missing for over 1,800 years, are currently on display at the Nanchang Relic Museum of Haihun Marquisate of Han Dynasty in Jiangxi Province. These rare artifacts offer a window into the Western Han Dynasty (202 BCE–25 CE).

Over 100 newly restored bamboo slips, part of over 500 recovered from the tomb of Liu He (the Marquis of Haihun), were unveiled in April 2026. Each slip is 25.8 cm long, and features uniform handwriting.

The Qi version of The Analects, which was lost during the Han-Wei period, contains extra chapters not in later versions.

"This is a passage that no scholar since the Eastern Han had ever seen—Confucius's own words, lost for eighteen centuries," said Yang Jun, lead archaeologist of the Haihunhou tomb excavation.

Why do we return to the past? Why do we value newly discovered ancient artifacts? They tell us about ourselves. They tell us what our forbears thought, what their observations of life were, and what their aspirations for us were—even over a distance of thousands of years. Even from afar, it would be foolish to ignore their wisdom.

Indeed it is - and in the Li style we have magic potions too!

🌿 Wellness means happiness

In this image, Tai Chi meets harmony in a playful way
the Yin Yang symbol gently turned into a smiling face, reminding us that our practice creates well-being and joy

At its core, Tai Chi is about alignment, flow, and returning to center
but it also invites ease, lightness, and a calm that can feel almost effortless

“When it comes to health and well-being, Tai Chi is about as close to a magic potion as you can get.”

✨ Balance doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it just looks like this
