http://qigongchick.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
This blog charts the progress of a recovering neurotic—me — and describes how Qigong is transforming my life. How do I know these terms? After undergoing four hip replacement surgeries in three years, I'm a walking Gray's Anatomy when it comes to naming the muscles around hip joints. To worry and whinge about the tiniest skeletal-related ache or pain. Another important reality is that while four hip operations aren't pleasant, many people suffer far more serious and life-threatening conditions with humor...

Qigong For Neurotics: I Want It, I Want It, I Want It
http://qigongchick.blogspot.com/2010/05/i-want-it-i-want-it-i-want-it.html
This blog charts the progress of a recovering neurotic—me — and describes how Qigong is transforming my life. I Want It, I Want It, I Want It. Even now I sometimes find writing a huge slog. No voice piped up to say, "You can't have it.". Was the desire for a new computer a sincere need. Or just a want. Masquerading as a necessity? That'll show him." I noticed my pursed lips and furrowed brow and suddenly felt the anger at the root of this sudden shopping attack rise up from my gut. Clearly even 100 pairs...

Qigong For Neurotics: A New Spirit of Place
http://qigongchick.blogspot.com/2010/03/new-spirit-of-place.html
This blog charts the progress of a recovering neurotic—me — and describes how Qigong is transforming my life. A New Spirit of Place. Probably that's how everyone else perceived me too. Qigong's given me a gut-level awareness of my inability to control the constancy of change. Today's Spirit of Place feels imbued with a loving and caring spirit instead of a controlling one. I "see" how furniture arranging, lighting setups, clock watching and people herding contribute nothing to my sense of self wo...By le...

Qigong For Neurotics: Transforming
http://qigongchick.blogspot.com/2010/03/transforming.html
This blog charts the progress of a recovering neurotic—me — and describes how Qigong is transforming my life. At the weekly Monday meditation evening a newcomer came up and asked what work I did. Ohmigod! For most of my life that's been the most anxiety-producing question imaginable. Last Monday I just smiled serenely and answered, "Oh for the last 15 years I was a writer. Now I'm transforming.". What do you want to be when you grow up? What does XX's father do? After ending up in Thailand and become a p...

Deep down, I loved watching Oscar with Tom. Posted by Jennifer Gampell. A New Spirit of Place.

http://qigongchick.blogspot.com/2010/03/screws-and-snaps.html
This blog charts the progress of a recovering neurotic—me — and describes how Qigong is transforming my life. I'm off for a US passport renewal photo and all all aquiver about what to wear for a picture that'll end up showing nothing below my Adam's apple. I've ravaged my small closet and can't come up with an unrevealing sleeveless top! Finally I find a garment that'll look suitably prim if I pin the floppy V-neck front shut. I contemplate whether I'll really want to keep looking at a passport photo of ...
