The interview

What was your life like before starting with Qiveda?

I'm a traveling photographer all over the world. It was hard to keep a schedule to my life with sport, with meditation, with surfing. I love to surf, but then I'm four weeks on the road and I have no more energy.

Why did you decide to start working with Greg?

I followed Greg for a while and was really interested in energy work. I started a year ago and it was one of the best decisions I made. It gives you so much energy and you go into the day with another mindset.

How would you describe the Qiveda practice?

It's basically a physical and mind exercise. Most of the days when I do it, it is just fantastic! The energy I carry is ten times what I had before. Some of the spiritual aspect of Qigong is the clarity I witnessed in myself; it was night and day.

What surprised you most about the training process?

What surprised me the most is how hard it is in the beginning and you think it's impossible, and then, like, a while later, you just, wow, this was great. I'm just in this position for 2 minutes. It was impossible a couple of weeks prior, and now it's just so much joy and you just kind of dive into a much deeper state every time you do it.

How has your life changed since starting the program?

My life is different now because I'm carrying 80% of the day much more energy, and my physical ability and my concentration and focus are so much better and clearer. It is a complete game changer for me and for my work.

What is your experience working directly with Greg?

I would recommend and I have recommended Greg to several friends and family members. It's fantastic to work with him. He's like very precise and very patient. His ability to explain the work is phenomenal. I really enjoy working with him.
