Budiman has brought this practice to Indonesia – the only one to bring this particular Chinese “5-Step Process” developed by his teacher in the 1960’s/1970’s, to his country. It’s actually a Chinese practice (now I know why the customs agent looked at me like I had three heads when he asked me why I was coming to Indonesia, and I answered: “to learn Qigong”). It wasn’t until he took a proper course from a licensed instructor, that he experienced what he now calls “success” as he “broke through” after only nine days of Qigong practice (more on what those terms mean, below)! He became so fascinated by his results and the improvement in his own health and that of others (beyond what he had learned about in London alone), that he moved to China to become a certified instructor, came back to Indonesia, and has been teaching ever since – close to 300 classes, over 14,000 students to date – but rarely courses taught in English, so I feel very lucky! ?Įven though Indonesia is in Southeast Asia, Qigong is not popular there. Budiman, a very disciplined individual, tried practicing it by following the book on his own for nine consecutive months and felt no effects. Once back in Indonesia after schooling, his close friend gave him a book to learn about Qigong.

Because he learned Western medicine, he himself wasn’t a believer in any form of meditation. For those who didn’t read my initial post when I mentioned I’d be taking this course a week ago, here is some important background on our instructor: He was born in Indonesia, went to London to study physiology at the University of London, and completed post graduate work while living out there. Practices that have been around for thousands of years, when combined with the knowledge we’ve gained from modern technology and research, seems the most logical way to go.Įnter Budiman…a rare and special breed. Instead, I’m someone who believes that East meeting West in terms of medical practices is the best way for us to obtain, maintain, and even improve our health. That’s a long way of saying: I’m not your typical yogi or meditator. I’ve been fortunate to travel, but almost exclusively to countries in Europe, only once spending time in Asia, in Thailand, for a little over a week.

All of that said, I’m a dude who grew up in New York, has played sports and worked in the pro sports industry my whole life, is left brain dominant in that I am always searching for logical answers to everything, asks a ton of skeptical questions whenever I am presented with new information, and typically must have solid proof in order to become a believer. I feel as though the stigmas related to many of the practices that heal us are often equal to, or even greater than, the stigmas related to sharing some of the health conditions many are facing. Add to that, the term “meditation,” and it’s a recipe for “tune out” for many. When we in the West hear “energy” and “believer,” pertaining to any type of health practice, immediately alarm bells sound.

Based on my experience, I am such a believer now, that I vow to continue to talk about this practice any chance I can, as we run #SameHere mental health programs with K-12 schools, colleges, offices, and military members around the world. While there is certainly an obligation on my end to share given that background, let me say that I found this past week so enlightening and life-changing, that even if it were not for this sponsor, I would be rushing to type this out on this flight home, to share all of this information as quickly as possible, so that others can use it to improve both their physical and mental health. A very generous act on her part, looking to help me as I heal, and hoping to spread these Qigong learnings with countless others out there as well. She was sure, given my challenging health background, that I would personally benefit greatly from it, learn, and be able to share with our community and hopefully beyond. She was so positively affected by the power of what she learned as it relates to her/our health, that in following our blog, she offered to sponsor me to fly out and learn the practice myself from the same instructor, and asked me to write about my experience and learnings. Budiman.Ī very kind college friend, who is of Chinese American descent and grew up in New York, had recently traveled to Jakarta for one of Budiman’s (rare) courses offered in English. This past week: spanning from August 11th – August 18th, I was fortunate enough to take a course in Qigong Meditation in Jakarta, Indonesia, taught by an instructor named Mr.
