About Me

Hi Im Brian Colborne, I have been studying qigong in various forms since around 2004, I learnt Healing qigong from Master Andy Hu and Chen style taiji & qigong from Sifu Jun Ping Liang when I was in South Africa.

Sifu Liang introduced me to some cool taoist practices that are simple yet profound, such as taoist meditation.

Master Andy Hu taught me some deeper practices such as how to set up a daily meditation & qigong waidan practice the ultimate goal of this is to increase health and vitality and increase compassion and leads to possible enlightenment! Shifu Michael Rinaldini taught me to go within and most of the real meat and bones of qigong and daoist theory, in fact most of the content of this blog is a result of his homework assignments! He is one of those rare individuals who live the way so deeply as to be synonymous with it.
