Celebrate THE PREMIERE of our new documentary
Any Given Moment
For Global Awakening Day 2024, enjoy the premiere of our new inspiring documentary about Norberto Rodrigues' Ren Xue journey, Any Given Moment, on Friday October 4th, 2024 on Ren Xue TV.
The film tells the miraculous story of Norberto Rodrigues, a young Portuguese man who took up ancient mind-body practices in a last-ditch effort to heal a totally debilitating back injury. We see how he used his practice and his relationship with Yuan Tze, a Chinese teacher, to heal himself. But that was just the beginning. Because of Norberto’s dedication and tenacity, he found himself not only healed from back pain, but also taken on a voyage of inner transformation and awakening to true freedom.
Watch the film for free Ren Xue TV and together, we will send our best wishes to humanity on Global Awakening Day.
Connect with world-renowned teacher and Qigong Master Yuan Tze
This message from Yuan Tze (founder of Ren Xue) can help us understand the importance of Global Awakening Day:
"We cannot control how long it will take for humanity to fully awaken, but as individuals we can each decide for ourselves whether we want to work on ourselves and create a new reality for our own lives. We should never underestimate the impact one person can make to people around us and to the world when we have made good progress in transforming unhealthy patterns and, as a result, realization and wisdom manifest.
It all starts with awakening to the need to change, for ourselves, the future generations, all forms of life and planet earth."
