Blog #144 Peace in the Midst of Storms
(written during the tornado watch in the Chicago area on February 27, 2024)
In this blog, I will share with you information about several wise teachers who refer to and exemplify Peace, especially Inner Peace, as one aspect of a healthy, fulfilled life and world. Peace Pilgrim, a woman who walked penniless in the U.S. from coast to coast multiple times for 28 years, accepting food and shelter when offered, all in the name of Peace, stated that all types of Peace are important: that between nations, neighbors, that within families and especially Peace within each individual. All types have the potential to help increase likelihood of greater Peace in the world. You can easily find her on the internet. Just search for Peace Pilgrim. You can read the beautiful book, Peace Pilgrim her life and work in her own words, on the Peace Pilgrim website free of charge, or purchase it. Peace Pilgrim was the first woman to walk the entire Appalachian Trail in one season, just before she embarked as a wanderer and walker for Peace.
David Coon, a Qigong Teacher and Healer living in North Carolina, teaches entire workshops for improved health, healing others, and about how to feel more peaceful internally. He states that Activity and Focus are both important for effective Qigong practice. One of the most beautiful Qigong forms he teaches is called The Waterfall. You can find him on the internet, and especially on YouTube, by searching for David J Coon and Qigong. He even offers a free two hour workshop on Peace, that you will find well worth the time if you decide to watch and participate. David healed himself from serious injuries decades ago using daily Qigong. He teaches classes in person in North Carolina and also online. David Coon has recently written a book, Qigong for Beginners Your Path to Greater Health and Vitality, which you might enjoy.
