Restarted my Qigong classes for seniors today. Four 45-minute classes, with a 20-minute break after the first, and an hour and a half of rest between the third and the fourth. Three hours of teaching in total. Result: I can't feel my legs. What a dose! Give me two weeks and I'll be back in the rhythm. 😅

Today’s in-person class ran about an hour and a half, and we worked the legs hard in the first 30 minutes.

In Chinese medicine, the legs are seen as the second heart. Strong legs are associated with healthier ageing and greater vitality. It’s now that we decide how we want to age: the habits we build today shape the body we’ll live in tomorrow.

After class comes the relaxation, and you can really feel the effect of the practice.

Great to have PilgrimB (npub1vcf…9lwl) back in class again this week. 🙏

I love Qigong. 🌿

Tuesday to Thursday, 10 classes in total, with around 200 to 250 students enrolled across the 10 Qigong activities. Wow, I’m excited for a new cycle! And that’s not counting the classes I teach outside Albufeira and the massages that keep coming in. I’ll need to find the energy for all of this. 😅

Why do I practice Qigong?
Because Qigong found me through meditation, and I went to try a class. It was a certainty, a divine experience between my soul, my consciousness, and my ego. It was a truth that manifested itself in every cell of my body. When I practice Qigong, I'm in meditation, giving my body the tools it needs to find its own balance.

From the womb, we float effortlessly, nourished without effort. From birth onward, everything must be sought: breath, food, and safety. Even how we breathe shifts, from the belly in childhood to the chest by adulthood, quietly gathering tension we rarely notice.

Zhan Zhuang exists to recover what we lost along the way: the original flow of energy, in body and mind.

What assets and liabilities do you have in your life?

In the last article, I left you with a question: do you see your life as an asset or as a liability? Today I want to go a little further. If you've already thought about the answer, the next step is to understand, in practice, what these assets and liabilities really are in everyday life and how we can start investing more in what gives us a return.

The assets worth cultivating

An asset, in our life, is everything that brings us health, well-being, joy, and love. These are the investments that, the more we make them, the more return we receive.

Qigong, Massage, Yoga, Pilates, and all the movement practices that make us feel healthier and happier are clear examples of this. But assets don't stop at the body. We should also invest in practices that nourish the soul, that bring us self-knowledge and spiritual awareness. Without that part, any investment remains incomplete; we take care of the body but forget the rest of ourselves.

The liabilities that drain us

On the other side, we have liabilities: stress, anxiety, physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual discomfort. These are everything that consumes us without giving us anything in return.

The first step in dealing with a liability isn't to eliminate it right away, it's to become aware of it. To understand its origin, the real cause behind the stress, anxiety, or discomfort we feel. Only once we've identified that root can we begin to reduce it gradually, without rushing, but with intention.

Substitute, don't just eliminate

Here's the point I consider most important: it's not enough to eliminate a liability—that space needs to be filled with something that feeds our asset. If you remove an hour of stress, fill that hour with movement, with practice, with silence, with whatever restores your energy. An empty space tends to fill itself back up on its own, and often it fills up again with the very same liability we tried to remove.

That's what happened to me this year. I swapped the car for the bicycle on my way to training, mainly to save money—on fuel, even though the car is a hybrid, as well as the environment and wear on the vehicle itself. I eliminated one extra, and I started using that freed-up space for priority journeys instead. Physically, I began to build more stamina, and without meaning to, I also created a goal: the route is around 25 kilometers, two to three times a week, depending on my commitments. It wasn't giving up the car that made the difference. It was what I decided to put in its place.

Towards balance

The core idea is simple to say but takes consistency to live: invest in what we truly consider assets, so that, little by little, our life becomes more balanced.

For this week, I'll leave you with a simple challenge: choose just one liability that drains you and decide which asset you'll replace it with. No rush, but with intention.

With serenity,

Filipe

When I was doing my Qigong training, I was challenged to start teaching. I had always been afraid of speaking in public, of leading large groups of people. But naturally, I found myself drawn into it, as if I were being pushed by something greater than myself. I started speaking and leading the practice with a trembling voice, my body shaking without me forcing it. Little by little, I healed those fears and doubts. Today, 10 years later, I teach classes of 30 people, and this October I'm going from 7 to 10 classes a week, with retired people now among my students. It's been a journey. Everything is an experience, and everything helps us grow and evolve as spiritual beings living an earthly experience.

Do you see your life as an asset or a liability? 🌿

We all get the same 24 hours a day. The difference lies in the return your lifestyle gives you for each one of them.

Have a read 😉👇🏼

quoting
naddr1qv…l7cp

Do you see your life as an asset or a liability?

There's a question we rarely ask ourselves, perhaps because we've grown used to thinking in terms of time rather than return: do you see your life as an asset or as a liability?

An asset gives you a return. The more you invest in it, the more it gives back: more energy, more health, more vitality, and more capacity to do what you want when you want. A liability does the opposite. It silently drains you. It consumes your time and energy just to sustain itself, and by the end of the day you feel emptier than when you started, without quite understanding why.

How does a liability settle into our routine?

The most uncomfortable part of this idea is that no one decides, overnight, to turn their life into a liability. It happens gradually, almost unnoticed. It's the poor night's sleep that becomes a habit. It's the back pain we ignore because "it's still bearable." It's the stress we carry from meeting to meeting, never letting it go. It's the "just a few more months like this" that's been repeating for years. A liability doesn't appear suddenly; it settles in slowly, exactly like interest accumulating without us noticing.

The real value of 24 hours

And there's a curious part to this metaphor: we all get exactly the same 24 hours a day. No one has more time than anyone else. The difference is never in the amount of hours; it's in the return your lifestyle gives you for each one of them.

This is where choice comes in, perhaps the most important one we make every day without calling it that: what are you doing today to turn your body and mind into an asset?

Wellness practices as investment

Practices like Qigong, yoga, or any form of mindful movement aren't luxury or entertainment. They're a direct investment in your asset. They restore energy, strengthen the nervous system, and increase your capacity to respond to everyday stress. The same goes for therapies like massage or reiki, which we often treat as an occasional indulgence when, in fact, they're maintenance, just like taking the car in for a service before it breaks down.

What do you choose to do today?

No one expects a liability to disappear on its own. No one believes a debt gets paid by looking away. And yet, that's exactly what we do with our bodies: we expect them to hold up, without ever giving back the investment they're owed.

The question that remains isn't whether you have time. It's what you're willing to invest today so that your life starts giving you a return instead of wearing you down.

With serenity,

Filipe

In Chinese medicine, fire is the element of the heart. It governs joy, connection, and warmth between people. When Fire is balanced, you feel present with others, are easy to laugh, and are easy to open up. When it's depleted, connection starts to feel like effort instead of ease.

In Chinese medicine, a single emotion rarely tells the whole story. Someone showing anger isn't automatically a Wood imbalance; it could be Earth struggling to feel supported or Water imbalance and showing up as fear underneath. One emotion is just one clue among several. A good diagnosis means gathering the full picture before naming the pattern.

Feeling heavy or emotionally stuck? 🌊

Move the energy.

When stress and emotions get trapped in the body, they don't just fade away. They turn into tension, brain fog, and a heavy, drained feeling you just can't seem to shake off.

The solution? Shaking.

This simple Qigong practice helps you actively release what you've been holding onto, allowing you to feel lighter, clearer, and fully back in your body again.

No experience needed. Just a few minutes of shaking to shift your energy, calm your nervous system, and reset after a long day. 🙏

Save this video for the next time life feels like too much. Your body knows exactly how to let go. ⚡🟠

Ancient Taoist wisdom teaches us that conserving and properly cultivating our vital energy (Jing Qi) transforms our physical and mental health. 🌿✨

As Master Mantak Chia often points out, when we learn to direct and preserve this internal energy instead of constantly draining it, we unlock true vitality, longevity, and peace of mind.

This is where practices like Therapeutic Qigong play a massive role. By moving energy consciously through the body, Qigong helps us transform stress and cultivate balance, keeping our mind sharp and our body sovereign. ⚡🟠

Flow, balance, and now... Lightning fast! ⚡🧘‍♂️

Everything in life and practice is about energy flow and alignment. That’s why I am excited to announce that I now accept Bitcoin via the Lightning Network for all my sessions and services.

Just like Qigong helps energy move freely without friction, Lightning allows value to flow instantly, globally, and efficiently, with near-zero fees and no middlemen.

Whether we are working on physical well-being, mental clarity, or daily balance, your payments can now move with the same seamless speed and modern efficiency.

If someone asks me for help to heal, I can only provide tools like Qigong, Reiki, or massage; healing is personal. In my view, no one can heal anyone else. Only individuals can take that step for themselves, and they are the only ones who can do the work.

In Qigong, we don't chase energy; we make space for it to flow. Most tension in the body isn't a lack of energy; it's energy with nowhere to go.

Step into the world of Qigong, a transformative practice that unites movement, breath, and mindful attention. Release anxiety as you explore this ancient art. Experience the rhythmic flow that aligns body, mind, and spirit. Ready for stillness? Begin your journey now.

How to do it:

Right hand on top, left hand below.
Move your torso 45° to the right, then switch hands.
With hands switched, move 45° to the left, then switch hands again.
Keep moving, feel the flow, and enjoy.

Try this before your next stressful meeting: inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 6. Repeat 5 times. This simple ratio shifts your nervous system from alert to calm in under a minute. 🌬️

Thank you for your suggestions!

Can you explain how I set this up with https://coinos.io/? I'm using on my phone the Wallet of Satoshi. I understand I display the price in euros, and the wallet converts it to sats at checkout, so I still receive sats directly. Is that right?

I'll list myself on BTCMap to attract Bitcoin enthusiasts traveling to the Algarve, ensuring they can find me easily.

As for the Qigong videos, we'll share them here.

Rebuilding and reinventing how I offer my services 🌱

I'm a massage therapist, and I also teach qigong (in-person classes + videos). I'd love to start accepting Bitcoin for my work, but I'm based in Portugal, where most people are still very skeptical or simply don't know about it, making it tricky to find clients open to paying in sats.

Looking for ideas on:

How to introduce Bitcoin payments to clients who've never used it (without scaring them off)
Taking sats for in-person sessions (massage + qigong classes)
Monetizing qigong videos/content through zaps or value-for-value
Tying it all together, a simple setup (website, Nostr profile, etc.) so people can find and pay for everything in one place

If you've faced similar skepticism in your own country/community, or have tips for onboarding non-bitcoiners as clients, I'd really appreciate hearing your experience. 🙏

From Sydney to the world! 🌏 Keith Howes, at nearly 80, is proving that Qigong has no borders and vitality has no expiration date.

Silence is not the absence of sound.
It is the space where your energy realigns with what is essential.
In the first class I taught to a group of seniors, I realized something profound:
Silence is not imposed; it is cultivated. ⚡

O silêncio não é ausência de som.
É o espaço onde a tua energia se realinha com o essencial.
Na primeira aula que dei a um grupo de séniores, percebi algo profundo:
O silêncio não se impõe, cultiva-se. ⚡

The value of simple choices.
As the years go by, our perspective shifts. We value the superfluous less and prioritize mental clarity. Movement becomes a healing ritual, nature our most honest refuge, and silence our best advisor. True freedom does not lie in what we possess but in the serenity with which we inhabit our own body and mind. Happiness is a state we cultivate from within.

O valor das escolhas simples.
À medida que os anos passam, a perspetiva altera-se. Valorizamos menos o supérfluo e priorizamos a clareza mental. O movimento torna-se um ritual de cura, a natureza o nosso refúgio mais honesto e o silêncio o melhor conselheiro. A verdadeira liberdade não reside no que possuímos, mas na serenidade com que habitamos o nosso próprio corpo e mente. A felicidade é um estado que cultivamos a partir de dentro. ⚡
