This is a eBook about qigong – a time-tested practice that blends skilful movement, mindful absorption and deep, slow breathing. While firmly rooted in the Chinese tradition, Peter Deaman hopes that it will also serve as a manual for exploring the wider world of mindful movement.

Peter's aim is to make this transformative practice better known. He has attempted to explain where it comes from, the philosophies behind it and the growing body of scientific research that illuminates it. Peter has drawn from his fifty-year experience of working in the field of Chinese medicine, his decades of qigong practice and his study of yangsheng – the 2500 year old Nourishment of Life tradition. 

This book comes with links to 12 hours of instructional videos

The first half of this e-book is a frank account of Peter Deadman's life – from childhood, through his rebellious teenage years, hippie travelling, random jobs, his first career in the natural foods business, his path into Chinese medicine and much more. The second half of the book is made up of a number of short stories, many of which relate tangentially to the memoirs. It’s been described as a ‘riveting read’ and “What an interesting and captivating read. Honest, funny, moving and inspiring”.

This is the long-awaited book by Debra Betts, author of several articles in The Journal of Chinese Medicine. Debra Betts specialises in the treatment of women during pregnancy and childbirth and in the post-natal period and has taught many courses to midwives. This book covers virtually every aspect of treatment during this time and is designed for acupuncturists, midwives, physiotherapists and medical acupuncturists, with clear glossaries and explanations of both Chinese and Western medical terminology

So much polarization around vaccines and viruses – climate change and politics, yet we so desperately need to come together as a world’s people to sort out the complexity of healing these desperate challenges! Can we find a “middle way” to come together, transcend the burden of polarization and find our common humanity?

This webinar will explore the growing movement in medicine to look at illness through the lens of inflammation and the potential it provides to bring us together. This lens supports a very broad look at the nature of illness and includes the relationship between our world on fire and our bodies on fire.

Our inflammatory response is triggered when tissues or cells are damaged or threatened. It’s a mirror of the Self-Protective Response – if we are able to move through all its steps, then the traumatic experience doesn’t leave its imprint in our tissues. If we experience additional threats before the last one has been fully digested, the sense of threat accumulates into growing dysregulation and growing inflammation.

We have an epidemic of inflammatory illness. It is mirrored in an epidemic of environmental and social inflammation. Global temperatures are rising, forest fires are destroying the regulating influence of forests, and political demagogues have fertilized distrust and hatred. Our world and our people exist as a hologram, mirroring each other. Healers can help.

CoVid 19 is an inflammatory illness. In addition to being vaccinated — the difference between a mild and a fatal case comes down to the presence of pre-existing states of systemic inflammation – being of advanced age, having heart disease, inflammatory bowel illness, diabetes, obesity, cancer, or auto-immune illness.

Clearly, the Chinese axiom of all illness as an expression of “the strength of the pathogen and the strength of the host” may help us find a way to come together and heal ourselves and our world. 

The wisdom of this axiom can also inform efforts to transform the impact of our world on fire. Healers can play an important role.

• We can help transform the foundations of inflammatory illness in incomplete traumatic stress responses.
• We can support more regulation in our patient’s nervous systems – and help them provide the respect, protection, encouragement, love and care that their children and our communities need to thrive.
• The more regulated our nervous systems are, the more we are able to distinguish discomfort from threat – and reduce impulsive violence as well as “death by a 1,000 paper cuts” in marginalized communities.
• Our patients will not only have lower rates of inflammation in their own bodies – they will be better prepared to bring grounded and strategic actions to the critical need to protect and defend vulnerable people and our wounded planet.

Clearly – our world needs its healers. We have a critical role to play in the creation of the regulation needed in our communities so that we can come together and transform the challenges of our lifetime.

Live Well Live Long explores the wonderful Chinese tradition of nourishing life (yangsheng) and applies it to modern life. As well as the traditional topics covered in yangsheng teachings - which mostly concern personal health care - concern for social, global and planetary health in the modern age demands the application of the wise principles of the yangsheng tradition to issues as varied as social justice, education, modern childbirth, climate change and environmental degradation, agricultural sustainability and so on. These are all covered in this meticulously researched book.

“Peter Deadman has achieved something wonderful, something gorgeous in creating this book. He has managed to write with great simplicity, eloquence and gracefulness about a subject which is deep and rich; yangsheng, the Chinese tradition of nourishing life … I am certain that the book will appeal to anyone who has no knowledge of the Chinese philosophy (it would be a wonderful introduction for our patients) of how to look after ourselves in body, mind and spirit through diet, exercise, sleep, deepening our relationship with nature,v‘affairs of the bedroom’ and even music and dance, amongst other gifts.”

You already know how to use pattern identification as the basis for determining treatment. But do you understand how to use pathomechanisms to analyze and explain the changes that will occur in your patients over time? Because pattern diagnosis only provides you with a snapshot of the current state of your patient’s illness, your ability to predict the progression of disease depends upon your knowledge of pathomechanisms. Part 1 of this class will give you an understanding of pathomechanisms that will allow you to better anticipate future complications and stay one step ahead of the disease that you are treating. With this knowledge you can effectively "prevent illness before it arises," the mark of the superior physician described in the Nei Jing. Part 2 of this course will give you insight into the core gynecological disease mechanisms in Chinese medicine. Most systemic diseases affect a woman’s menstruation and reproductive system whether the woman’s chief complaint is gynecological or not. Understanding these important concepts will allow you to better diagnose and treat any woman no matter what her illness.

What if you could diagnose your patients more accurately and in half the time that it takes you today? How many more patients could you help? How much more confidence would you feel?  In this distance learning course, Bob will share with you a system to speed up up your diagnostic process, increase your accuracy and improve your confidence as well.  This system will give you the skill to reliably identify the most commonly seen patterns in Western patients with 2-3 questions (i.e.symptoms) and 1-2 observations (signs). Bob will then share with you his "Hallelujah" symptoms (the 12-15 signs and symptoms which only have a single disease mechanism) and teach you how to posit a diagnostic hypothesis and then confirm or deny that hypothesis both quickly and accurately.  If you commonly take up to an hour with each new patient in-take, this class can revolutionize your practice!
