I believe that a curriculum it’s a
static point in time and space contradicting the changing nature of
life. I think that instead of legitimate say that I’m “this”, maybe
it’s more important reflect upon the paths that took me to “this”.
In my case went by jobs as computer annalist, education assistant
or by interests as music, traveling, martial arts, reading and the
writing.
There is also some curiosity in the contact with the Man as he is
undressed of all the layers and barriers created in the daily life.
Those devices hide the obvious that we are all equal. The only
difference is in the dream, what puts us in movement and our
interaction with this movement. This is what makes us unique and
happy in this course of existing between Heaven and Earth.
The TCM degree and the Chi Kung I practice and teach are connected
to part of my dream that I believe to be truthful as a Way. In one
of the classics of the Chinese literature – The I Ching, there is
an example of a well and the ability that everyone of us as to
reach that water. There are people who reach it and other people
that for several reasons can’t make it. For those who reach it or
who can take some water from the well should share this water with
those who couldn’t do it, or show them the correct way how to do
it. In may case I use the TCM five arts (Acupuncture, Chi Kung,
Diet therapy, Herbs and Tui-Na massage) or another way that is also
valid and in context with the situation. For me that’s one of the
definitions to be a therapist to say that I’m “this” is a way of
believing that everyone as equals can in some time take water from
that well, from this source that nourishes and put us in contact
with our true essence. Only by that way make sense to me.
Curriculum resume.

during his TCM studies at the School of Traditional Chinese
Medicine in Lisbon. He trained under several teachers in various
styles. During this study period he became involved in teaching Chi
Kung to the general public. In 2004 he went to Amsterdam for a two
week Zhan Zhuang Chi Kung training period with Peter den Dekker.
Those two weeks became a life-changing event, because of the
empathy with the teacher and the encounter with Da Cheng Chuan.

in order get a better understanding of the principles of this art.
