Hi Phyliss, and Radio friends

Just quick note to ask if you know of any poets unpublished or published from the Caribbean, or if you have some yourselves that you would like to submit for consideration for inclusion in a new anthology of Caribbean poems that I am looking  to publish shortly, in both hard and electronic format. I do a radio programme and there does not seem to have been such an anthology for over two decades now, so I guess it is timely.

Glad for your help in this.

Thanks

Regards

Robert

Allan,
Thanks so much for this, I would love to get the details of the person who wrote it. I did not know you were interested in the Second World War.  It happens that I have given national lecture on this subject for the official UK annual celebrations of  end of WW2.

I was also one of ten UK experts selected by Kings College rated as one of the best universities of the world) to present a paper at Oxford University in 2009, to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the beginning of WW2, it may be of interest to you that my paper was judged as worthy of a book by the published of all the papers. About 50 other scholars from around the world also presented papers and they were all published in Global War Studies 1919-1945. It is available for sale but may have much that you are not interested in. 

My paper was titled: "The West Indian Contribution to Britain during World War Two An Overview", it shall shortly be available for sale, hopefully by month end.  There is great difficulty in getting the information on West Indians as the records do not record persons by country but by names so it is not easy as our names are mostly anglo names.

I have made some films of my lectures and one of my films of veterans was shown at the cinema over here. I am currently arranging to show them on TV over here and elsewhere. DVDs of them are available for sale at £20 plus £2.50 P+P. Or you may see them on your computer for the fee of £10. A 10 minute of some of them are available for viewing free on my website caribbeanchronicle.com under the TV menu. The site also has other tv documentaries on West Indian culture and history and is the most comprehensive dealing with out culture in the world. 

It may be of interest to you, and I attach further information for your information. Thanks again. And just a thought, maybe we should circulate what we are all doing, as there may be synergies between us.  Had you not sent me this information I would not have told you of my lectures on WW2!

By the way additionally my film "Songs From Walter Rodney's Choir", made to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of his assassination enjoyed its world premier at the University of Dar es Salaam on 14th this month, this film is also available for sale at the same price it is a double DVD of 54 minutes each. 

Glad for your thoughts on same.

Regards

Robert

I saw the movie today and in my opinion it is a glowing tribute to the airmen and ground crew of the 332nd. History needs to be told and it was very well done.
 
This movie stirred my curiosity as I had heard of Caribbean , and in particular Guyanese nationals who went to England to join the RAF during WW2. I found the story of E R Braithwaite, the author of "To Sir wih Love".
 
Please follow the link.

Subject: [Guyanaradio] GT: Red tails - movie on the Tuskegee airmen!!

 
One of my friends was fortunate to see an advanced viewing of Red Tails. It's George Lucas' version of the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, 20 years in the making, and has a predominantly Black cast, all the main actors are Black. 
When the movie was finally ready for production, no production company would take it; as a result, George Lucas ...had to write a check. After production was completed, no distribution company would take it. So, George Lucas wrote another check. The advanced viewing was sponsored by Wells Fargo and the Museum for Black History Diaspora (not sure of the exact name). 

The movie is intriguing and has edge-of-your-seat action. It's well done, and certainly worth seeing. 

I'm urging all of you to see this movie, and tell others about it as well. Anything we can do to ensure large numbers of viewers in the first few days of release(scheduled for Jan. 20th) will make a statement to the production and distribution companies that WE ARE interested in SEEING this film, AND, that they made a miscalculation. 

If each of you tell as many people about this as you can, and attempt to take 4 or 5 people with you to see the film, that will be like a geometric progression, and could potentially push the numbers off the chart. 

And . . . George can get his money back!

cine_guyana_masquerade“Tradition”, one of the eight short films (CineGuyana) produced under The President’s Film Endowment 2011, established by President Bharat Jagdeo, will be shown at the Caribbean Tales Film Festival in Barbados this Thursday, April 12, 2012. 
The Festival is organised by Caribbean Tales, The Caribbean Diaspora's most dynamic film festival group --- with bases and events in TorontoBarbados and New York, and partnerships across the region and the globe. It showcases works made by filmmakers from Caribbean backgrounds and/or that celebrate and explore Caribbeanthemes, and themes of interest and relevance to people from the Caribbean Diaspora. 
“Tradition” was one of 8 features and 15 shorts selected from over 70 entries in this year’s Cartibbean Tales festival.  It was conceptualised and directed by Margaret Lawrence and written by the team of Lawrence, Richard Pitman (Producer) Ayanna Waddell, Russell Lancaster and Yaphet Jackman (Director of Cinematography ) . Executive Producers were Dr. Paloma Mohamed and Brian Zahm, MFA. 
“Tradition” a  10  minute cultural fiction is about a  family  battling  personal loss and the anger that this brings while a young boy tries to hold on to the traditions of his father and the yearnings of his heart.  Through the cultural artifact of the Masquerade, the past, present and future collide in a surprising end.  “Tradition” stars Lavonne George, Kijana Lewis, Johann David and The Golden Arrowhead Masquerade Band. 
CineGuyana Films  have been screened for the public at The Billy Holiday Theatre, New York; The University of Warwick, UK; The American Film Institute, Washington, The African Film Festival in Nigeria  and Guyexpo. The making of the  films was also supported by USAID.

Schedules will be published on the CineGuyana website and Facebook pages as well as the local press. One of the eight films is also expected to be included in the European Union’s Film festival carded for the Theatre Guild later this month. 
Founded in 2010, the CaribbeanTales Film Festival @ Island Inn Barbados is a multi facetted event that includes a Film Festival, an Industry Symposium, and a Content incubator, all aimed at stimulating the development of a vibrant world class Caribbean film and television industry.

COMMENTARY: Trayvon Martin and St Vincent’s UN Ambassador: the Racist Similarities

Monday, April 2, 2012 - 17:12 By Sir Ronald Sanders
Sir Ronald Sanders

It seems that institutional racial profiling continues to be a massive problem in the United States notwithstanding that the country has an African-American President, several African-American Congressmen and Mayors of Cities, and accomplished African-Americans in the media and in corporate America.
 
I have not mentioned the entertainment business – either sport or music -- because for decades those are the two areas in which black people were expected to be.  They have long been ‘racially profiled’ as acceptable within the confines of these two categories.
 
Even though there are thousands of African-Americans in the police forces across the states of America, institutional racial profiling is particularly evident amongst the police.  In part, this is because the police force is the institution that most confronts black people every day in the United States, and the reports of abuse are legion.   As a friend, former diplomat and current commentator, Peter Simmons, puts it: “Obama’s election does not mean that the country has moved to post-racial status”.
 
In reality, although he is the President of the Unites States, Barack Obama himself continues to be a target of racial abuse.  Some of the statements made about him by bigoted and prejudiced Americans – even within the US Congress – would never have been made about any former US President.
 
As I write this commentary, the circumstances surrounding the admitted killing of 17-year old African-American Trayvon Martin in Florida by George Zimmerman, who could at best be described as an eager neighbourhood watch vigilante, is yet to be properly determined. What is certain is that the police did not do their job correctly, and Martin’s death is yet to be investigated thoroughly.  This has caused well-thinking people in the US and across the world to speculate about how different the police would have acted had the victim been white and the admitted-killer been black.
 
This same bigotry and prejudice is also reflected in the assault and arrest of a Caribbean Ambassador to the United Nations in New York by a white policeman.  On March 28, the Ambassador of St Vincent and the Grenadines, Camillio Gonsalves, was pursued by a New York policeman into the building that houses his Mission to the UN, assaulted, forcibly hand-cuffed and arrested.  His crime, as he describes it, without any denial from the New York Police Department, is that he did not respond to a shouted challenge from the police officer:“Hey You! You! What the hell do you think the Goddamn barricades are there for?” as he crossed a barricade to enter his own Mission – something he and others have done for years, and which others – including representatives of Israel – had done that very day.  Israel’s diplomatic mission to the UN is located in the same building.
 
The key that unlocks the offensive and aggressive nature of the policeman’s behavior in relation to Ambassador Gonsalves is his remark to fellow officers: “I couldn’t let him just walk into the building. Look at him: he could be a terrorist.”
 
Well, how a person looks is not reasonable grounds for suspicion that he or she may be a terrorist.  Because someone looks Arab, African or in some way different from white people is not enough reason for such an assumption.  Unless, of course, racial profiling is the basis of judgement which, in this case as in many others, it clearly was.  Maybe, if the policeman had approached the Ambassador politely and inquired who he was, he may have had a civil response and a production of the identification that would have avoided the incident altogether.   But, he seemed determined to use his position to subjugate a black man who did not surrender to what he regarded as his authority.  In execution of that mindset, he pursued Ambassador Gonsalves into his building and despite the protestations of the security guards within the building and the objections of other diplomats on the scene, he assaulted him, handcuffed and arrested him. 
 
Intervention by officials of the US State Department and senior officers of the New York Police Department caused the removal of the handcuffs and the avoidance of the Ambassador being ignominiously carted-off to a police station for formal charges.
 
As this commentary is being written, the New York Police Department is considering issuing the Ambassador with a summons for disorderly conduct. It would be shocking if they did so, particularly in the context of their officer’s behaviour, and it should rightly lead to the strongest objection from the entire diplomatic community at the UN.
 
The Caribbean diplomatic community has already voiced its outrage at the incident.  The Chairman of the Caucus of Caribbean Ambassadors has written the US Ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, pointing out that the “observance of privileges and immunities is a matter of great importance to the normal functioning of Ambassadors” and member states of the UN expect the highest standards from the individuals and entities charged with such observance.
 
Like the circumstances surrounding Trayvon Martin’s death, this incident involving a UN Ambassador and the Police in the US is far from being put to rest.  In each case, there are elements of racial bigotry and prejudice and consequent poor police conduct.  It is those very elements that the St Vincent government has now asked the US State Department to investigate.
 
There is clearly great need for the authorities in the US to address racism in its police forces. They may not be able to legislate against racism, but they can legislate and implement machinery to punish those whose racial prejudice and bigotry motivate their actions.  The election of a unique African-American to the highest office of the land in the US was a great tribute to millions of Americans who saw beyond colour. It is not so for many who abuse the authority of their positions and give Americans a bad name. That is the sadness for America.

"Total outstanding student loan debt in America is expected to exceed $1 TRILLION this year. Millions of hardworking, taxpaying, educated Americans are being crushed under the weight of their educational debts, while the economy continues to sputter.

Her unconventional upbringing began as the granddaughter of Forbes Burnham who reigned supreme over Guyana and ruled with might and myth for 21 years until his death in 1985; undoubtedly, and historically, one of the most controversial and colourful political figures of the region.
"I would play under the table where he held his cabinet meetings. I also went around with him on his horse. On Fridays, he rode around town and through the country areas. I also remember he would have his entire cabinet swimming in the pool at the residence. I can't remember all the dignitaries I met but some of the African leaders, Clive Lloyd, and Sir Shridath Ramphal who I grew up calling uncle." Her middle name is Indira. It is said that Indira Gandhi impressed Burnham so much when they met that he bestowed her name upon his granddaughter and first grandchild.
At eight months old, she was photographed, in a crisp christening dress; a gift from Fidel Castro, Burnham's close friend and ally. "But they forgot to christen me," she says with a chuckle. After some effort, she locates the album and shows me a black and white photo coloured with pride. "The rumour is that Fidel is my godfather," she smiles mischievously. "That's what everybody in the family says. He and granddad were very close. He came to Guyana for granddad's funeral." Castro's closeness with Burnham inspired many things, among them, CARIFESTA, the Caribbean Festival of Arts, first held in Guyana in 1972. Later in life, Castro would give her another memorable gift of a university scholarship to study medicine in Cuba. He would also grant her the access and privilege that came with knowing Castro or more so with Castro knowing you. Being able to drop his name when it mattered most saved her, a few times, from being arrested. "I would have to call his name," she laughs. "It was because of my skin tone, my features, and my Spanish accent that I was often mistaken for a prostitute. That's when I would also whip out my Guyanese passport."
Actually, she was born in Cuba. Her parents were there as university students and care-giving for a newborn clashed with classroom hours and cramming for exams. "My parents got married in Guyana. Mom was 21 and dad was 23. Mom had me when she was 22." She arrived in Guyana at two months old. "I stayed for a year and a bit and then I was sent back to Cuba." Viola Burnham, the second wife, cared for her in those early months. "She always said that family had no step. So I never saw her as my step-grandmother. She was my grandmother." At three years old, her travel chaperone, Vincent Teekah, the Minister of Education, was allegedly assassinated. There are many accounts but no one official account of the events that lead to his death. Conspiracy theories abound. She was a toddler when it happened. Her memory, of these events, and others, was pieced together, over the years, from what she heard and overheard. "He was very close to granddad. They blew him up in a car," she says in a hushed tone, the kind of tone that was probably used in the days following Teekah's death but hardly expected 33 years later. She mentions the name Walter Rodney. We look at each other and our eyes conspire to go no further.
Her mother was studying political science. She's the first of three daughters Burnham had with his first wife, Sheila Lataste, a Trinidadian optometrist who worked for decades at Imperial Optical and died last July. "They divorced when mom was around 11." Her father was studying medicine and graduated as Guyana's Minister of Health.
Growing up, she and her dad sold her grandfather's political newspaper, New Nation, in the marketplace. "I only knew him as grandfather," she laughs. "I was nine when he died. I was actually in Trinidad. I'm only now cognizant of what he was politically and some things were just wrong. He didn't tief money but he was the politician who made sure he won." Her hysterical laughter tells a story of its own. It could be a case of if you don't laugh you will cry when thinking of some of Burnham's decisions and policies. It was reported that he banned condensed milk but asked for a spoon of it on his death bed. "Bittersweet," she says, in deep thought. "In retrospect, I guess that's his political history. No matter his faults, he's one of the founding fathers and he had the guts to fight. But he was a human being."
"I'm very proud to be his granddaughter and I am able to differentiate the politician from the father and the grandfather. He taught his children well, so well that they could recognise where he was going wrong." The somber moment ends. She's no longer reflective. Now, she's keeping it real. "He was a man who would fight with his own family, his own children, over politics," she hollers. Her laughter carries various emotions, expressions and a variety of coded meaning. This dose of laughter is decoded along the lines of an acceptance that Burnham was quite a character and that's putting it mildly.
"Everything around him was purple. He loved purple. I went to the high school he founded, President's College. He died in August 1985 and it opened in September 1985. The uniform was purple. Let's just say he was hooked on purple." Our eyes meet at her feet. She's wearing Chinese house slippers in purple mesh. We both erupt in laughter. Then she cuts me a playful look to confirm that whatever Burnham had, his idiosyncrasies and eccentricities were neither contagious nor genetic.
"He was just very strong in his beliefs. He was a Methodist but he had every holy book. He said he chose the good out of every religion."
We spent two days together. Easter Sunday spilled into Easter Monday.
For those of us who came back, on Monday, it never felt as though we ever left. Her home is filled with love, life, laughter and lots of food; on second thought, too much food. Guyanese Pepperpot simmered to perfection, in an authentic but secret cassareep recipe served with imported Antiguan clay oven bread for the dipping. Cook-up rice, fried channa, akee, saltfish in coconut milk, callaloo Jamaican style, Johnny bake, duckanoo (it tastes like pamie but looks like cassava pone), pastelles, barbeque chicken; the works! She's a fantastic hostess. She really knows how to entertain. Let's just say she's very entertaining. "My grandmother was a strong woman who taught me how to be a strong woman without alienating myself from men, from being a wife or from being in the kitchen. She was a first lady, a farmer, a mother, a grandmother, and a feminist." A lot of her best memories are in Guyana with her grandmother. "I would always go back home to Guyana for holidays. But I moved back in 1995." She was 19. "Mum Vi, that's what I called my grandmother. She had a farm and I would help her plant vegetables, milk the cows and sell the milk."
Losing her grandmother, in October 2003, was devastating. "We found out she had cancer in January 2003. She said Asante what do I do? I said Mum Vi it is your decision, quality versus quantity of life. She had no biological grandchildren, I was about to graduate, it was very difficult for her because there was so much getting ready to come to the fore, so she decided to fight for us and herself. But it wasn't going well. She decided to stop treatment." She was finishing the final year of an internship. She flew from New York to a Miami hospice to spend those last days with her grandmother. "She was in a coma due to the morphine. She went when we were all asleep." She got to pronounce her grandmother dead. "Since I was five years old I wanted to be a doctor. Of course, I had those moments where I also wanted to be an air-hostess and secretary," she laughs uncontrollably. But now she's solemn. "I didn't think it would happen. I fell out with my father and that was my money supply." Her six years of medical school were the longest years of her life.
"I could have never done it without Errol." She married her husband, the month after her grandmother died, after a six-year long distance relationship, and with the approval of the woman who raised her. "I wouldn't have done it if Mum Vi didn't approve." From the day he entered her life, her husband, Errol Le Blanc, managing director of UNICOMER Ltd. (trading as Courts Furniture Store) has been a driving force behind her success and stability. "He's a good friend, my advisor, and my business partner. A long-distance relationship has its own rules but our long-distance relationship was one of a kind. When you don't plan things, good things happen." Lots of good things have happened between them including two beautiful daughters Kamili seven and Zola five. "I also have three sons Kwame 21, Jelani 18, and Raymond 16 and as Mum Vi said in family there is no step!" She was pregnant and working, in Grenada, in 2004, when Hurricane Ivan hit.
"There were a lot of casualties, the morning after. I was a surgical intern and it was also my first pregnancy. I couldn't leave. I kept working. My feet were so swollen that they sent me home. When I went to bathe there was blood. I was standing so much that my placenta was grazed. They wanted to keep me but I took my IV (intravenous therapy) and went home. All night, I was turning my IV but the bleeding got worse." Her husband broke the curfew to get a doctor. "They didn't believe him and held a gun to his head."
The next morning, she flew to Trinidad where she stayed until Grenada settled. The year after, they moved to Trinidad where she has lived since 2005. But at first, things didn't go as planned. "They didn't want me to work here. It was during the controversy of the creation a parallel medical board to register Cuban doctors. They said my Cuban medical degree was from an unrecognised university." She got around it but it wasn't easy and certainly wasn't cheap. Eventually, she did one year in pathology at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex in Mt.
Hope. "Autopsies," she laughs. "Besides the smell it was a great experience. Pathology is one of the cornerstones of medicine. You really get to see the impact disease has on the body. Some days were hard if you got a baby or a child." She was the only female. "My scrubs were always tight and I guess they didn't expect to see a woman cutting the body and coming out to tell you the cause of death. I met some great people there." I couldn't help but ask, "Who, the dead?"
Her laughter is now uncontainable. "Well at last that's one place the patients won't argue with you." She's a riot. Anyone who knows her will attest to that. She can also cause a riot. "The working conditions were bad. We demanded better conditions. There were trials and tribulations but overall it was a good experience."
She's now in private practice as a general practitioner and certified medical herbalist. She's also one of the most sought after practitioners of alternative medicine in the country. "I use the traditional Chinese diagnostic model. I found that I could do more for my patients using both models; traditional medicine and alternative medicine. It was just the right thing to do." She contends that using a combined model offers a better understanding of the patient. "You are able to understand the patient as an individual." Some would call her approach unconventional. But even in her practice, she embraces diversity and doing things differently because no two human beings are the same. The overwhelming demand for her services in alternative medicine means she's getting results. "Medicine is not one size fits all. It is a continuous and dynamic process."

  An unconventional woman

  NOTHING is conventional about Dr. Asante VanWest-Charles-Le Blanc. Her
unconventional upbringing began as the granddaughter of Forbes Burnham who
reigned supreme over Guyana and ruled with might and myth for 21 years until his

Some of Guyana's history

To honour the 200 year birth date of Georgetown this year, I thought you would’nt mind a little history...Its a good read - liked it when the writer decribes "Main Street" and could’nt resist sharing.


The capital city of Georgetown will celebrate 200 years, later this year. The city of Stabroek was renamed Georgetown on 29 April 1812 in honor of England's King George III. On 5 May 1812, an Ordinance waspassed to the effect that the town formerly called Stabroek, with districts extending from La Penitence to the bridges in Kingston and entering upon the road to the military camps, shall be called Georgetown.

The city of Georgetown began as a small town in the 18th century. Originally, the capital of the Demerara-Essequibo colony was located onBorsselen Island in the Demerara River under the administration of the Dutch.When the colony was captured by the British in 1781,Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Kingston chose the mouth of the Demerara River for the establishment of a town which was situated betweenPlantations Werk-en-Rust and Vlissingen.

It was the French who developed this town and made it their capital city when they captured the colony in 1782. The French called the capital La Nouvelle- Ville. When the town was restored to the Dutch in1784, it was renamed Stabroek after Nicolaas Geelvinck, Lord of Stabroek, and President of the Dutch West India Company. Eventually the town expanded and covered the estates of Vlissingen, La Bourgade and Eve Leary to the North, and Werk-en-Rust and La Repentir.

Guyana's first capital still exists. The ruins of a brick fort can still be seen on a little island where the Essequibo, Mazaruni and Cuyuni rivers meet. The original fort was a wooden structure built around 1600 by some Dutch traders, who called it Kyk-Over- Al or "see over all", because it provided a commanding view of the three rivers. The wooden structure was replaced in the 1630s by a brick structure which served as an administrative centre.

Another notable landmark is the Dutch Fort Zeelandia on Fort Island in the Essequibo River. This brick fort still retains its main features and was built in 1743. Kyk-Over-Al was Guyana's first capital until it was moved downriver to Fort Island in order to have ready access to more fertile land in 1743.

The birth of Georgetown occurred shortly after the 1803 Treaty of Amiens, which awarded the colonies of Demerara, Berbice and Essequibo to Britain from the Dutch. Dutch and English were the primary languages; then, as English culture and laws slowly took over the (separate) three former Dutch colonies of Demerara, Essequibo and Berbice were finally united into one entity called British Guiana in1831 and were governed from Georgetown.

The history of early Georgetown was also impacted by the Abolition Act in 1833 which eventually brought an end to the Trans- Atlantic Slave Trade and the most repugnant industry known to the history of humanity. Georgetown was once called the Garden City because of the many trees that grace its avenues. The city's avenues were created when some of its historical canals were filled in. These unique avenues along urban streets are lined with flowering, tropical trees, which shed their colourful blossoms at various times of the year on the pedestrian pathways that run between them.

Georgetown, despite the modern, developing skyline, is still a city of wooden structures, including most of its houses and public buildings. Its most famous landmark is the St. Georges Anglican Cathedral, the tallest wooden structure in the world. In the 1890s, Henry Kirke, author of "Twenty five years in British Guiana" said:
"Georgetown, called the Venice of the West Indies is a strange place, and one calculated to excite the interest and admiration of everyone.

Beneath the level of the sea at springtides, the city is defended from the waves of the Atlantic by a granite breakwater two miles long, stretching from Fort William Frederick at the mouth of the river Demerara to Plantation Kitty on the East Coast; great granite groynes run out from it to the sea every 60 yards or so, to break the force of the waves; whilst the wall, which is 25 feet wide at the top, is utilized as a promenade and health resort in the afternoon and evenings. This sea wall was commenced in 1858, and was not completed until 1892. It was built principally by convict labour, and all the granite was brought from the penal settlement on the Massaruni River."

...."The streets in Georgetown are all rectangular: the city isintersected in all directions by open canals and drains, which are crossed by innumerable bridges. These, at the time I first went out to the colony, were made of wood, which have since been replaced by handsome structures built of iron and cement. Main Street is certainly
one of the prettiest streets I ever saw. About 40 yards wide, it is divided up the middle by a wide canal full of the Victoria Regia Lily, the canal and the roads on each side, being shaded by an avenue of saman trees. Handsome houses, painted white, or some bright colour, are built on each side of the street, nearly all of which are surrounded by gardens, full of crotons, palms, poinsettias, bougainvilleas, and all sorts of bright-hued plants and flowers; on some of the trees can be seen clusters of cattleyas with their mauve and rose-coloured flowers, from another an oncidium throws out its racemes of odorous petals, four to five feet in length."

Two centuries of rich, intangible cultural heritage for all Guyana is embodied by Georgetown's history. Let this historical anniversary be remembered as a time for renewal of entrusted and sacred heritage, which must be proudly passed on to the future generations. Understanding and respecting the past are the keys to the future.

SIMPLE, BUT EFFECTIVE EXERCISE


The essence of the exercise is that your "Eyes Must be Closed" when you are doing this exercise. You must practice the "Jin Ji Du Li" exercise with the eyes closed. This exercise was so simple and amazing that I thought I had to share it here.


Here is the exercise:

Stand on one leg while your eyes are closed. That is all. Just try it right now, stop reading and stand up, close your eyes and try standing on one foot.



If you are not able to stand for less than 10 seconds, it means that your body has degenerated to 60 to 70 years old level in other words, you may be only 40 years old, but your body has aged a lot faster.


I myself & my husband tried this exercise when I read the mail. I thought “No, big deal, I’m sure we all can do this easily”. I was fooling myself, I’m glad I tried it because I discovered much to my surprise that while both of us could stand easily on one foot with our eyes open, trying the same thing with our eyes closed was another story! We just couldn’t keep our balance for more than two to three seconds before we started wobbling and hopping around.

You do not need to lift your leg high, if your internal organs are out of synch, even lifting your leg this bit will make you wobble.



These Chinese are really very advanced in their knowledge of the human body. It was very heartening to know that frequent and regular practice can help you recover your sense of balance. In fact Chinese specialists suggest daily practice of Jin Ji Du Li for 1 minute, this helps prevent dementia/ FORGETFULLNESS


You can try slightly closing both eyes while practicing Jin Ji Du Li, instead of completely closing them; in fact this is what the health specialist Zhong Li Ba Ren recommends.

Daily practice of Jin Ji Du Li, can help in healing many illnesses or diseases like
 
  • Hypertension, 
  • High Blood Sugar or diabetes, 
  • Neck and Spinal diseases, 
  • it can also prevent you from getting dementia.


Zhong Li Ba Ren has written a book titled "Self Help is Better than Seeking Doctors' Help", which is a bestselling book that has been the best seller health book in China since it was first published last year. Its success can be measured by the fact that it has been reprinted 12 times within 6 months, with more than 1 million copies sold. The book is a hot seller because is it teaches many simple practical health tips.

It is said that according to the understanding of Chinese physicians, diseases appear in the body because the co-ordination between the various internal organs encounter problems and that causes the body to lose its balance. Jin Ji Du Li can readjust this inter-relationship of the organs and how they function with each other. Zhong Li Ba Ren statedthat many people can't stand on one foot with their eyes closed for even 5 seconds, but later on as they practice it daily, are able to stand for more than 2 minutes.

As you gain ability to stand for longer time, the feeling of "head heavy, light feet” disappears. As benefits or practising Jin Ji Du Li, you will experience that the quality of sleep improves, the mind clears up and memory improves significantly. Most importantly if you can practice Jin Ji Du Li with your eyes closed for 1 minute every day, you will not get dementia.
