In this episode of Chi Time, the Quantum Qi Show, Clara Apollo speaks with John P. Milton, a pioneering ecologist and long-time teacher of meditation, Qigong and Tai Chi.

John’s path bridges Western science and ancient wisdom. His connection with nature began early, with a vision quest at the age of seven. He went on to work on environmental policy with the White House and the United Nations, while also developing a lifelong practice rooted in Buddhist, Taoist, Vedantic, Tantric and Native American traditions.

John shares how he first encountered meditation and Qigong in the 1950s, including the practice of placing the mind in the lower Dan Tian. He describes how his early martial arts training led him to Tai Chi through Cheng Man Ching and his senior students, and how these practices helped shape his understanding of Qi and the relationship between inner and outer nature.

The conversation offers a glimpse into a life devoted to exploring how awareness, movement and our connection with the natural world can inform the way we live.

John is the founder of the Golden Flower School and the Way of Nature, and is featured in the documentary Quantum Qi: The Taoist Art of Nurturing Life. https://www.quantumqimovie.com
