S5 E1 - The Tai Chi Walking Hoax

Season 5 · Episode 1

Wednesday, October 21, 2026 • Duration 17:23

Everyone who has spent time online over the past few years has probably come across some kind of advertisement promoting the magic of Tai Chi walking. The promise? A seven-minute-a-day program that, in just a few sessions, will supposedly help you get fit, lose weight, and build muscle for a sexier body.

Unsurprisingly, though, it’s all a hoax.

S4 E5 - The Center

Season 4 · Episode 5

Saturday, August 8, 2026 • Duration 28:42

In the East Asian Internal Arts, the concept of Center appears to play a particularly important role, both in the physical development of these practices and in the way they subsequently unfold on a more spiritual level. Both Mind and Body seem to require a specific relationship with concepts such as Center and Equilibrium.

Nothing quite similar appears to occur in Western traditions. Let’s delve into this question and explore how the search for Center relates to our Identity—and ultimately to the quest for a shared Consciousness.

S4 E4 - The System

Season 4 · Episode 4

Friday, May 29, 2026 • Duration 40:18

The System

Historically, hundreds of martial systems have developed in China, such as Taijiquan, Xingyi, Bagua, and Wing Chun, just to name a few of the most famous and widespread ones in the West. At the same time, Qigong and meditation schools have also formed through systems. But what is a System? In this episode, we try to clear things up.

S4 E3 - Discipline vs Obsession

Season 4 · Episode 3

Tuesday, February 3, 2026 • Duration 27:18

Discipline vs. Obsession: Finding True Balance in the Internal Arts

In this episode, we explore the delicate balance between dedication and obsession in the practice of Tai Chi, Qigong, and meditation. Starting from the relationship between body and spirituality in Eastern disciplines, the discussion examines how intensive training can shift from being a tool for growth into a mental prison. Through personal examples and observations of masters and practitioners, a key message emerges: true spiritual practice is not measured by the number of hours spent training, but by the ability to integrate discipline with rest, authentic relationships, and lived experience. It is an invitation to let go of the paranoia of “never being enough” and to rediscover that being a practitioner matters more than how much one practices.

Topics covered: intensity vs. balance; the danger of the paranoid personality; the importance of emptiness and rest; martial practice vs. spiritual growth; finding one’s own personal path.

S4 E2 - The Self & Others

Season 4 · Episode 2

Monday, October 27, 2025 • Duration 19:47

We usually practice Tai Chi, Qigong or Meditation in order to gain something: more "Qi", more martial prowess, more understanding. But everything that is a kind of "gaining", is in some way reinforcing your Self, bringing dangers and vanity. But, if we look at our Self how it is in reality, meaning a ring in a wider chain, we start to look at our practice from a different perspective, that is indeed really pivotal for a practice to be a "Spiritual" one.

S4 E1 - The Tai Chi Classics

Season 4 · Episode 1

Wednesday, August 20, 2025 • Duration 31:39

Ancient masters and practitioners have produced a huge amount of texts, defined as "classics", on the practice of Taijiquan as well as other Internal Arts. We often hear that words are meaningless for practice, and books have no role in building a correct method. That's simply not true, and disregarding the classics can severely impede the chances of success. Here is why.

S3 E13 - The Shape of the Mind

Season 3 · Episode 13

Tuesday, April 29, 2025 • Duration 18:54

In the realm of practice, your thoughts—both their content and the way you process them—are never neutral. They either move you closer to reality or pull you away from it. Here’s why.

S3 E12 - Practice and Politics

Season 3 · Episode 12

Friday, February 28, 2025 • Duration 31:07

Mental clarity and moral quality are two of the traditional fruits that a correct practice should bring. While politics as a toxic topic is often wisely sidelined in Tai Chi, Qigong and Meditation communities, this does not mean that a good practitioner should also be "dumb 'n numb" when it comes to political views, assuming that he/she has interest in the topic, and thus has spent time and energies to gather correct informations and propel analytical tools, none of which, as a seasoned practitioner should know, comes for free. It has always been like this since ancient times, for we have been given the poetical picture of the sage as an isolated old man in the woods, while very often the creators of these arts were the very elite of their societies.

S3 E11 - Taichi: the ultimate hassle-free experience

Season 3 · Episode 11

Tuesday, February 11, 2025 • Duration 31:26

The Taichi, Qigong or Meditation class needs to be a hassle-free experience. But for who?

S3 E10 - Self as Method

Season 3 · Episode 10

Friday, January 24, 2025 • Duration 20:00
