I recently took a reunion cruise on the Enchanted Princess, traveling the North American northeast seaboard. The trip featured daily Tai Chi classes via instructional videos in a spacious lounge. Despite challenges like limited guidance, these offerings highlight the growing trend of cruise lines enhancing wellness programs, including Tai Chi and Qigong.

Dr. John Painter, a Texas martial arts instructor, healed a torn bicep without surgery by applying mind-body techniques learned from Master Li. Utilizing visualization and the Daoyin method to direct Qi, he regained strength over three months, illustrating the potential of mental exercise in physical recovery as demonstrated in related research.
