Chapters
When I was 10 years old, I got introduced to the extraordinary. You see, I was training in martial arts. My martial arts teacher, he built up this big stack of bricks and we're all watching, what's he going to do with this brick? Stack of bricks and all of a sudden, smash right through the big stack of bricks. Must have been 20 of them or so. And I was dumbfounded as a 10 year old. And I asked him afterwards, master, how did you do that? And he grabbed me by the collar, by my gi. And I was like this little guy looking up at him and he said, the power of chi. I didn't realize this, but this moment was going to change my life. And he emphasized, now chi is not for hurting people, it's for healing. Now, some 10 years later, I'm 20 years old playing soccer on the University of California at Berkeley's Division 1 soccer team. It's my second game of the season. I'm starting and I jump up in the air to head the ball and somebody takes my legs out. I land on my tailbone, put my back into spasm, slip a disc, and as a 20 year old, I'm like, I think I could do it. I'm going to play the rest of the game. Bad idea, because it exacerbated the injury. The next day when I stepped out of bed, I thought, please let my back be okay. I stepped out, my leg gave out, I fell on the floor. I was hurt, I was really hurt. And I went to the team doctor. I thought maybe a cortisone shot, maybe some anti inflammatories, maybe some painkillers. I took all the medication and it did nothing for the pain. It didn't touch it. This injury is preventing me from living my dream. And all of a sudden, like a light bulb flash, that martial arts teacher. I went home from college and I got some treatments. He showed me these crazy qigong exercises, how to work with my chi. And I started doing them. And after the first session I was like 50, 60, 70% better. I could move again. We did three sessions more and I was 95% better in 10 days. I was back playing soccer when the team doctor said, you're off the team for the rest of the season, you're not going to be able to recover from this. And I was back playing. In fact, I was showing my teammates these crazy qigong exercises and we were all doing them before the games. That was my first experience in teaching qigong and that was a catalyst. I've changed my life. This is what I want to do with the rest of my life, because I wanted to teach people how to heal, that your body has natural healing power. So after I graduated, I went to Asia. I studied with the main qigong master in Asia. I became his ghostwriter. Every morning, I would go to his house and and we'd train and study. I felt like Karate Kid and he was Mr. Miyagi. I was doing all kinds of wonderful exercises that I wanted to learn and then explain to my friends, my soccer player friends, my Silicon Valley friends working at a corporate desk, how could they use this esoteric wisdom to make their lives better? How could they learn qigong to give themselves less stress and more energy?
