A word to the wise
Posted: October 31, 2007 in 100 Days, 5 Tibetans, chi kung, Martial Arts, qigong, ThoughtsYesterday, after 3 months of doing pretty much nothing but chill, drink and party, I decided to get my shit back together and busted out a full set of 21 5 Tibetans…..What a mistake that turned out to be! about 45 mins after I did them I felt very peculiar to say the least!
