Be mindful when drinking tea. Taking a mindful tea break is a powerful way to stop the racing mind and come to the present moment. Make a tea and as you drink it bring your attention fully to the experience by tuning into your senses. Feel the warmth of the cup in your hands, taste the tea with each sip, notice the sounds around you. When you feel your mind wandering, let go of thoughts and come back to the sensation of the warmth of the tea cup in your hands.

In Tai Chi, Qigong and Meditation, You Are What You Practice
1. In Tai Chi, Qigong and Meditation, You Are What You
Practice
?In Tai Chi, Qigong and Meditation, You Are What You Practice
The Seventh Annual Taoist Gathering had a very important message, You Are What You Practice, for
anyone who practices Tai Chi, Qigong or simply cares about his/her physical or mental fitness.
The Gathering was hosted by Zhi Dao Guan, the Taoist Center in Oakland, California. It took place at
Samuel Merritt University Oakland, CA on Oct 22 24. 135 attendees from California, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Maine, Hawaii, Ohio, Washington, and Texas participated in it.
Generally speaking, Chinese culture has been heavily influenced by Confucianism, Buddhism, and
Taoism both the philosophical and religious aspects throughout history. During last year's
International Tai Chi Symposium, many of the Tai Chi masters agreed that the philosophy of
Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism play an important role in shaping the theory and practice of Tai
Chi and Qigong.
Zhi Dao Guan means The View, Vision, or Perspective of the Ultimate/Supreme Path The name was
coined by Grandmaster Wei Ren Feng. Grandmaster Feng formalized the teachings of his family's
multiple generations of Daoist scholars, priests and practitioners and founded Zhi Dao Guan in
China and moved it to the United States in 1963. Upon Grandmaster Feng's death in 1988, Master
Alex Feng, who was ordained as a Daoist priest in 1972, became the lineage holder of Zhi Daoism.
Master Feng built his martial arts institute and medical practice on a foundation of Zhi Daosim. He
created Zhi Dao Guan, The Taoist Center, that opened in 2002, to fully actualize the Daoist
principles of the integration of the spiritual, medical/healing, and physical aspects for a healthy life.
To make this event more inclusive, Steven Abell of The Troth, Rev. Jean Elyse Adams, of Pacific
Central District of the Unitarian Universalists, Liu Ming of Dayuan Circle, and Robert Rosenbaum,
PhD. were invited to provide Heathen, Christian, Taoist, and Buddhist perspectives during the panel
discussion of You Are What You Practice.
2. Lorie Dechar, Lac, Mac, of Tri-State College of Acupuncture of New York, delivered a keynote
speech which she emphasized the importance of Yi intent in practice. She also explained why Yi can
incubate of a Sage. Hirsh Diamant, PhD, of the Evergreen State College of Washington talked about
Chinese Narrative Painting and Arts of Self Cultivation. Ted Cibik, PhD and Executive Director of
Inner Strength of Pennsylvania highlighted the Energetics of Food. Musician and Editor of The
Empty Vessel Solala Towler introduced Chuang Tzu with Commentary.
One special feature of this Gathering was that there were some young participants in the
conference. They attended some of the meetings as well as performed for the event. Naomi Sagan
did a Tai Chi Performance while a few students from Washington Manor Middle School, San
Leandro, CA, performed the Five Animal Play Qigong movements. A 10-year old participant even
wrote a poem about Taoism which was really heart-warming for Charlene.
With the continuous success of this event, Zhi Dao Guan funder Dr. Alex Feng announced that next
year's conference will be on Oct 21 23 in Samuel Merritt University with a theme of Immortality.
