By nature, I am lazy. After completing my Masters degree in Dance, I chose to just drift along with the current of life without ever applying for a “serious job”, as my mother would have said. It was a decision I made twenty years ago as a young man in my twenties.  Instead, I used the time to dive deep into the realm of Taoist Qigong and Taiji Quan practice.
What has guided me in my life is this lazy or easy principle of being.
Somehow, the practice of Qigong and Taoist movements give me the inner experience of being like drifting of clouds. The deeper level of Taoist practice opens me to the world of Wu-wei, non-becoming.  Somehow, as I gain insight into the effortless way of moving, my movement improves and energy flows even better.
My father named me Sat Chuen, Tumbling Rock.  My life is a series of tumbling act flowing like a meandering stream over different terrain, with no hard discernable goals.  As I study and practice the Qigong deeper, a gradual realization dawns on me that the spirit of the Tao is like a meandering stream.  It is the process that counts.
It is my vision that the Taoist practices of Qigong and Taiji Quan will blossom under this “at ease”, open context.  The Tao embraces the Creative Principle of life.  It holds to the great “mind” of the universe to guide our day to day action.  As you started to practice the Healing Sound Qigong, keep yourself as “at ease” as possible.
