I was a Silicon Valley over-achiever, a road warrior, and rain maker until my doctor told me I was too burned out to go back to work. My second startup did me in. As a former engineer, I did a lot of research and a lot of trial and error to figure out how to heal. I started with a single goal - learning how to sleep through the night. Along with some common sense lifestyle changes, I found a number of Taoist techniques that have been helpful in dealing with all that I lost, with the grief, with being unemployable and being dysfunctional. Techniques that allowed me to clearing my mind and spirit and rebuild my body. I do and teach a lot of qigong and breathing techniques, both from China and India.
