In this thought-provoking and heart-centered conversation, Brian D. Smith sits down with Sifu Boggie, a Taoist guide, healer, and lifelong student of energy medicine, to explore how ancient practices like Qigong, Taoist philosophy, and meditation can help us heal from grief, stress, and emotional pain.

With over 40 years of experience β€” and a fascinating life journey from pastry chef to spiritual mentor β€” Sifu Boggie brings an accessible, playful approach to deep concepts. Discover how our thoughts affect our biology, how movement restores balance, and how reconnecting with our inner child can open a path to peace.

Whether you're navigating a personal loss or just curious about the mind-body-spirit connection, this episode offers practical insights for living with more harmony, purpose, and joy.
