Hi. It’s Peter Caughey here.
I wanted to share a quick story with you — about how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) completely changed my life at 27 years old.
Back then, I was struggling with a neck injury from rugby. I tried doctors, physios, chiropractors — and nothing seemed to work to fix it.
Then, a friend suggested I see his Taiji teacher, who was also an acupuncturist and TCM practitioner.
I was skeptical, but I was desperate, so I went.
The first thing he said when I walked in?
“How long have you had the limp for?”
I said, “I don’t have a limp.” And he said, “Yes you do.”
I asked him, “How do you know I have a limp?”
He answered, “I heard you walking.”
I thought, ‘Whow! The dude is listening to me walking.’
It certainly got my attention.
He placed a few acupuncture needles in me and gave me a spinal adjustment. I was there for a couple of hours. He charged $20 and I walked out.
And I didn’t just walk out. I floated out.
I felt like I was standing tall and straight and walking perfectly balanced for the first time in my life. It was a surreal feeling.
One treatment. No follow-up needed.
I remember thinking, ‘What does he know that everyone else I had seen didn’t know?’
From that day onwards, I haven’t been back to a Western Medicine Doctor again, except for structural bone operations and routine check-ups.
That experience changed everything for me. I realized health isn’t just physical; it’s about who I am energetically, and keeping that energy in balance and in alignment.
That teacher became my first Taiji and Qi Gong instructor, and I’ve never looked back. He had extraordinary skills and knowledge about how the body functioned and who we are as human beings.
I want you to experience this too.
As you can see, I’m very passionate about Qi Gong and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I want you to have a life-changing experience with them, just like I did.
You can begin with our free Beginner Classes on Youtube or our Free 6 Lesson Video Series (Sign Up at Our Front Page). The exercises are simple and easy to learn.
The most important thing is to start slowly and create a short daily routine, and keep practicing for 5-10 minutes every day if you can.
After only a few days of practice, many of my students have told me that they’ve had experienced a change in themselves and how they see the world.
Perhaps this will happen for you too.
Much care,
Pete C
