I started the Tai Chi Gung (TCG) 45 Day Renewal (exercises and disciplines) in September 2021.  As of this time I am nearing 30 months completed. I am still doing 45-day renewals which keep me disciplined. I have been getting advanced training to become a certified trainer for over 2 years now.  It doesn't take that long - I have started and am going slow.  Update July 2024 - Three years in and I am still doing this challenge, day after day and I'm continuing to be more aware of a clear energy flow through my body as was described to me and I now can feel especially (mostly) during my exercises.  I can't imagine how I would ever stop doing TCG.  It has been such a blessing to me.

#1   Benefit (by far is Spiritual), the words on the pages of the Bible and my desire to read it and time spent with it and my love for God and desire to pray and spend time with God and rejoice over what he has blessed me with and love others - This is all off the charts increased.

#2   Benefit (Emotional) - Peaceful and literally no more fear - yes this helps with having a fearless life!

#3   Benefit (Critical Physical)

• Breathing - I have learned to Belly Breathe - I never, ever get out of breath - energy is amazing, mental clarity and peacefulness (consistent)

• Sleep - Deep sleep and only 6 hours and ditched my C.P.A.P. machine. Update (3 Years): Fall asleep in 1 to 2 minutes and sleep solid all night.

• Weight loss - I have lost over 40 lbs and feel great (I am 6'2" was 238 LBS - now 196 LBS - Update (3 yrs.): Weight still near 196 lbs). 

• Off all medications - I have gotten off of diabetes type 2 and high blood pressure medications. Update 3 years (still off meds)

• Blood sugar much improved  (Update (3 yrs.):  Control Blood sugar with eating)

• Blood Pressure is normal without medication.  (BP normal 3 yrs later)

• PH Acid/Alkaline levels - Normal range within 3 months (7.0) and staying steady when checked Update: 3 years in Same 7.0 alkalinity test.

• I keep getting compliments "You look great, what are you doing?".

• Update for most of the past 3 years no pain in my body - only when I eat too much sugar do I get slight temporary discomfort.  When I am disciplined with my eating I have no pain in my body all day long and recover overnight from strenuous work or exercise.

#5   Benefit Nutrition

• I now love to eat up to 10+ servings of fruits and veggies per day and was lucky if I had one previous to that time.  (still do)

• I eat smaller portions and less often and more of the better food choices​  (my greatest challenge 3 years later)

#6   Benefit Energy - My energy is off the charts. I don't get tired except when I should be.  I sleep 6 hours or less and have plenty of energy. (still)

#7   Benefit Discipline, Strength and Balance - I walked 2 to 4+ miles per day since that time (yes, every day). (Still... every day - 365/yr)

• No more leg, foot, arm, shoulder, neck or back pain - like almost no pain  (Update (3 Years): none)

• I go to bed earlier and get up very early.  (TARGET: bed by 10 pm, up at 4 am most of the time)

• I don't watch News or read much of anything news worthy because it is filled with stress (negative energy - brings me down and creates worry Update (3 Years): rare)

#9   Work - many changes taking place - this site is one of them  (Update (3 Years): + changes are coming even quicker)
