In this enriching episode of REJUVENAGING with Dr. Ron Kaiser, Dr. Ron introduces listeners to Jeff Patterson. Jeff is the founder of Northwest Fighting Arts and the Portland Tai Chi Academy. With over 36 years of experience practicing and teaching meditative martial arts, Jeff delves deep into the concept of the Yielding Warrior, a unique approach that integrates physical, mental, and emotional yielding to help individuals become better versions of themselves.

Jeff explains how yielding in the martial arts context means redirecting force rather than confronting it head-on, and how this principle also applies to mental and emotional realms.

He outlines various meditative practices, including sitting, standing, and walking meditations, Tai Chi, Qigong, and yogic postures. He stresses the importance of turning inward, maintaining a daily practice, and the evolving nature of meditative arts.

Jeff highlights the benefits of a consistent meditative practice, such as improved physical health, mental clarity, emotional stability, and overall well-being. He advises listeners to start with practices that resonate personally, whether it's sitting meditation, Tai Chi, or Qigong, and emphasizes the adaptability of meditative practices to suit individual lifestyles and goals.

In his conversation with Dr. Ron, Jeff discusses how different groups, including those struggling to relax, athletes, older adults, and children, can benefit from meditative practices. He provides examples and anecdotes to illustrate the transformative power of these practices.

Jeff also talks about his book, "The Yielding Warrior," and his online programs. Listeners can access these resources to start their own meditative journey by visiting theyieldingwarrior.com.
