    Cultivating Longevity, Vitality and Balance: Paul Fraser on Qigong as an energetic conversation with Nature

    In this special re-airing of Regenerative Mindset, I sit down with Paul Fraser, a dedicated teacher and practitioner of medical Qigong with nearly three decades of experience. As we enter the holiday season, we’re revisiting this conversation because it offers a perfect reset and an invitation to reconnect with balance, energy, and nature. Over three decades of intensive study and practice, Paul has cultivated a deep understanding of Qigong, an ancient system that harmonizes the flow of Qi — the essential life force — within our bodies and the natural world. His journey into Qigong has not only enriched his personal health and well-being but has also guided countless others toward greater balance and vitality. In this episode, Paul shares the wisdom of Qigong’s millennia-old practices, offering insights into the connection between our internal energy and the natural rhythms of the environment. We explore how working with Qi can foster personal healing, emotional resilience, and a deeper relationship with the world around us. From his transformative encounters with black bears to his reflections on the interplay between humanity, nature, and spirit, Paul brings to life the regenerative power of aligning mind, body, and earth. Join us for this timely conversation that invites you to reset, embrace ancient healing traditions, and discover new pathways to a harmonious and sustainable life during the holiday season.
