Chinese Health Arts

I began my Tai Chi journey in 1980 and was named Honorary President of the Tai Chi Union for Great Britain in 2013. My study of Chiese 'wand techniques led to the publication of Jiangan: The Chinese Health Wand (2011) and The Tai Chi–Qigong Boating Wand (2023).


Music

Under the name Michael Parcell-Davies, I compose ambient meditation music designed to facilitate expansive states of awareness. Many of these pieces are played on my online radio station https://immortalharmony.airtime.pro/


Writing

My broader writing includes articles exploring the psychological benefits of a slower pace of life and moving meditation. 


Digital Virtual Reality

My current book project, Waking from the World: Realms of Consciousness, examines evidence suggesting that consciousness may persist beyond physical death. It also explores parallels between these ideas and emerging digital environments. As part of this work, I document my experiences navigating virtual worlds such as Second Life under the persona DoubleDragon Baudin.’
