Losing brain function is not just about disease and decline, it’s about a person. Worldwide, at least 44 million people are living with some form of dementia. Alzheimer’s brings loss of memory, and other aspects of cognitive function that are profoundly life changing. Fortunately, research shows that being physically active can reduce the risk, or […]

Taoism and the North Star
The Northern Dipper (Big Dipper) points to the North Star (Polaris). In Taoism the North Star is at the centre of cycles of change in the sky, in the universe, and in people. It is still and the whole sky turns around it. In Taoism, and in the Northern Dipper Scripture in particular, the North […]

Taoism, and the Northern Dipper Sutra in particular, incorporates the idea of harmonizing with constant transformation and change. These rhythms of life and of our Taoist Tai Chi® practice relate to the cycles of nature. Everything is moving and changing and yet does not need to be chaotic.

Balance, Identifying Worry, and Listening
