Some Benefits of Qigong By James Byrd, MBA For many years now, the Chinese medical therapy known as Qigong exercise has helped to alleviate both medical and physical ailments with its concept of “ Life energy cultivation .” Qigong is primarily the Taoist art of self-healing. Close attention is paid to body movement and breath control synchronization. Qi with its meaning carries the connotation of chi or breath of life, such as a baby’s first breath of life after it is cut from the umbilicus cord of its mother, which is now sustainable Qi. Now the other half gong has more to do with body movement; work, self-discipline, meditation, and relaxation exercises. To the extent that one inhales with one movement and exhales with the very next movement, this is meant to extend the full extent of the breath range to the fullest of the stretch range. The main idea when combining the two concepts of Qi and Gong is to breathe slowly and maintain your focus on the acupun...

  "The Future: 2020" By James Byrd Hexagram 54 The Marrying Maiden I. The Oracle A. The Judgement In the current situation, advancing in any direction seems unwise. The phrase "Go Easy" suggests caution. The Marrying Maiden is joined by her younger sister, who is the vested consort. This scenario is favorable, but if the consort is older, problems may arise. Twins, of course, would complicate matters further. This is akin to a "Domestic Dispute," prompting one to step back and reassess. The advice here is to trust what you observe. The marriage can be postponed without issue until certain variables align more favorably. Holding a wedding at an inopportune moment is like a cloudy sky without rain—anticipation without fulfillment. The Marrying Maiden : This signifies the transition from maidenhood to motherhood, provided the timing is suitable. B. The Image Thunder over the Lake : a) To achieve a favorable outcome, a well-timed beginning is crucial. Planni...

  MediaEclat 🚨 The Biggest Mistakes Companies Make When Hiding Information 🚨 James Byrd MBA | Strategic Advisor & Author of The Future: 2027 In today’s world of transparency and accountability , concealing information is more than just a bad decision—it’s a ticking time bomb . Here are some of the most common (and costly) mistakes organizations make: 🔒 1. Believing secrets stay buried Leaks, whistleblowers, and digital footprints make it nearly impossible to keep damaging information hidden forever. ⚖️ 2. Ignoring legal obligations Failing to disclose the right data to regulators or stakeholders can lead to lawsuits, fines, or worse. 👀 3. Underestimating employees Internal teams often see more than leadership thinks—and silence doesn’t always mean support. 📉 4. Skipping crisis planning When the truth comes out, lack of a clear communication strategy magnifies the fallout. 🛑 5. Misjudging consumer intelligence Today’s customers are smart, connected, and vo...

  Hexagram 32: Duration (Heng) By: James Byrd I. The Oracle A. Overview Hexagram 32 is Heng , often translated as Preserving . Alternative interpretations include Duration and Constancy . The hexagram is composed of two trigrams: Lower Trigram (Xun): Ground or Wind Upper Trigram (Zhen): Shake or Thunder B. The Judgment Duration. Success. No blame. Perseverance furthers. It furthers one to have somewhere to go. C. The Image Thunder and wind: the image of duration. Thus the superior man stands firm And does not change his direction. II. My Interpretation A. "Constancy" The key theme of Hexagram 32 is unwavering dedication to an original goal—a steadfast adherence to principles or purpose, likened to the dogma of consistency from beginning to end. Just as a city under siege remains resolute in its defense without deviating from its foundational purpose, so must we stay true to our intentions and plans. A poignant symbol of constancy is the sun—its rising every day without f...
