This post presents the free exercise, “Finding Peace.” Below are two videos and an audio to help you.

“Finding Peace” consists of simple instructions for relaxation that work together with the “Qi Gong Warm Up.” By doing this exercise you will develop new:

Balance, peace & strength.

By repeating this exercise, you will gain greater balance, peace and strength!

Remember: Problems are complex; solutions are simple and quick. But you may have to practice and repeat the solution to get the desired effect? So practice and repeat “Finding Peace.” Two or three times a day are enough with sessions of 7 to 12 minutes.

The body and brain naturally know how to relax, gain strength and find peace–it is our design. We simply need to provide the right setting and the best circumstances. Peace will come; strength will grow. The secret is practice and repetition.
