The logo includes a stylized calligraphic image of the Japanese character Kumo (pronounced koo-moe) which means cloud.
I developed it with the help of professor Takemoto and his calligraphy master Fujii Yoshiyasu while at Whitman College.
In Oriental Medical theory clouds have a poetic relationship with mankind because we are both a combination of Yin and Yang in constant flux.
In contemplation with my wife we chose the name Kumo for my practice because of this poetic relationship and the fact that one of my favorite meditations is to be still and watch the clouds change.

Anti-Cancer Qi Gong, also known as Xi Xi Hu is a walking form that is simple and repetitive.
The movements and breath work powerfully stimulate the immune system and thus help with fighting or preventing cancer.
It is also an ideal form for people who are interested in meditation, but cannot sit still for very long.

Juice Plus+ provides nutrition from 17 different fruits, vegetables, and grains in convenient and inexpensive capsule form.
Correct toes help prevent and cure foot problems without surgery, orthotics or medication by realigning your feet back to the way nature intended.
The Environmental Working Group is a fantastic resource for information about toxins in our environment and how to avoid them.
I find their Shopper's Guide, which rates food on safety, nutritional value, and cost, and their Dirty Dozen which ranks food on the likelihood to contain pesticides especially useful.

If you have a question that is not answered below, please e-mail it to me, I would be happy to answer to the best of my ability.
This is a very good question, and cannot be given a short answer.
In fact many books have been written on the subject.
Though often translated as energy, this does not capture the full concept of qi.
George Lucas actually based his definition of "the force" from the concept of qi.
I like to think of qi as a potential for change.
The Chinese character for qi is a pictograph representing the vapor that arises from cooked rice.
