Dear World Tai Chi & Qigong Day Supporters,
We are at a point in history where a small application of energy can save our nation and world trillions of dollars down the road. WE HAVE A FEW WEEKS BEFORE JAN. 20TH, TO MAKE HISTORY, AND PROFOUNDLY IMPROVE OUR NATION AND OUR WORLD. PLEASE, ACT NOW, AND FORWARD THIS ACTION EMAIL.
According to a 20 year Kaiser Permenente study 70 to 85% of illness in industrial society is CAUSED BY STRESS. Tai Chi and Qigong, Yoga, and Transcendental Meditation, or in other words "Mind/Body Techniques" have been shown in study after study to be the most powerful stress management tools known.
Of course in the case of Tai Chi, beyond stress management, there is caloric burning, balance improvement, etc. etc. in addition to the stress management benefits.
Projections are that in the US alone, in coming years our health costs will exceed $4 trillion annually, and literally bankrupt our nation if nothing changes.
Things are in flux now, as a new administration comes into the White House. During great flux, things are more fluid and amenable to change. The economic crisis we face can be an opportunity to foment needed change. The Chinese character for "crisis" is made of two characters, "opportunity" and "danger."
The danger is that society freezes up and tightens down onto old ways of problem solving. Einstein wrote that we cannot solve our problems with the same consciousness that created them. Tai Chi, Qigong, and mind/body sciences offer society a solution to health costs, and also tools to constantly see the world anew.
Below you will see 2 ways you can affect the future. We urge you to:
1) Email the Obama Transition Team with the message at the below ACTION link.
2) Forward this email to everyone you know who understands the value of mind/body tools, so they too can email the Transition Team, and also post this and forward this action out to all they know.
3) Just before the new administration comes in on January 20th, postal mail a letter to the incoming Secretary of Health, Secretary of Education, and Surgeon General.
The goal is for the Obama Transition Team to get 10,000 emails of the below messages urging them to integrate cost effective mind/body education into public education at all levels. Then have the Secretary's arrive at their new offices on January 20th, to find a stack of 10,000 letters on this hopeful program for health.
There are a few times in history, where we can alter the river streaming toward our future. This is one. Join us, email, and mail the below messages, and post this action everywhere you can, and forward it on to all your contacts who support mind/body health solutions.
