Ingrid,

I like your comments about experiencing the "now".

"The past and future don't really exist in the now other than in our thoughts and mental preoccupations - only a full experience of the now is fundamentally "reality". In my experience so far, Qi Gong seems to help bring focus and presence to the mind, in a sense freeing it from the restrictions and constraints of the preoccupied mind."

One of the reasons I was interested in Qigong was the help it gives me in getting in the "zone" where peak golf performance exists. As a tournament player I have been in the "zone" frequently and have been able to use my subconscious brain to play better.
