The
Special Presentation
talking about into the movement. Is that how you do it? I mean is it
qi or is it something else?
Peter Ragnar: No, like you said before, a lot of people think that this
is woo-woo, its out there. Its something mystical or strange. No, its
a power that you and I everyone has. We all have this power within
us. Its just learning how to unleash it. In other words, how to get the
resistance, how to get the blockages that unlock your breaks so that
you too can be all that you are meant to be and its the flow of energy
through our bodies. There are certain bodily movements.
Peter Ragnar: As we go along with this, youll find out just exactly
how to do the things that Tristan just said Peter Ragnar does.
Tristan Truscott: Yeah, I mean youll have 10 racks of weights and
you do leg squats. Now, thats not what everybody wants from qi.
We totally understand that and I think its wonderful that youve
proven to the world that qi can be channeled and it can be used in a
very, very physical way like you said to build that very strong body.
And there are some folks out there that are trying to heal and theyre
looking to alternative medicine or theyre looking to alternative ways
of getting their body and their mind back online so they can feel
healthy again and thats what drew me massively to qigong was
because my personal story of having a back injury that lasted for five
years and going to doctors and every kind of treatment you can think
of and even having a failed $90,000 surgery, I thought that I was
done. I was at the end of my rope.
Peter Ragnar: Thats amazing, Tristan. I cant imagine anybody
doing that.
Tristan Truscott: Well, I cant imagine anybody doing it either but I
know that there are folks that are in that position right now that are
possibly watching this that have been struggling and feel like quitting
because I felt like quitting. I felt like theres no way out of the pain
that I felt I couldnt walk properly. I couldnt do my martial arts
anymore. I couldnt do anything. My friends felt so sorry for me
because they couldnt help me and I felt sorry for me but what I did
3
was I kept researching and looking for ways to heal myself and thats
what I discovered with qigong is that this life force can rebuild your
body from the inside out.
Peter Ragnar: Oh, youve proven that. I mean its amazing. I mean
you went from being basically an invalid to Ive seen you do amazing
things in the dojo and the gym. I mean weve worked out together.
Im totally impressed.
Tristan Truscott: Thank you. Im impressed with what the human
being can do when humans learn how to channel their own energy.
Peter Ragnar: Right.
Tristan Truscott: And qi is not weird. Its not woo-woo. Its not
some trippy thing. Its your life force energy. You were born with it. I
was born with it. We were all born with it. Its just that it gets
depleted and thats why my body broke down was because I was
pinching off the qi. I was getting to a point where the energy wasnt
flowing anymore and that caused and imbalance and that caused an
injury that couldnt be healed but when I learned how to open the
channel back up and visualize and use my mind with the movements
that were teaching and the breathing, it started to flow and I felt it.
My leg was tingling, the bottom of my foot was buzzing and I started
crying because I knew that I tapped into something.
I figured out that mind-body connection and I knew that I could
manipulate it now myself. So, what happened? I went deep, deep,
deep into the qigong training so that I could get more and more
healing. But along the way, I came across a lot of stuff that Ill call
woo-woo. It was pretty weird, Peter. I went to lots of teachers. I took
lots of private lessons. I took lots of courses and there was stuff that
was just sometimes over my head because it was just so weird like
taking my saliva and dividing it into three parts and swallowing a part
of it here and then glowing over there, Im like, come on, whos going
to want to do that? And thats not western friendly.
Tristan Truscott: And people are already saying that theyre feeling
the qi in their hands and theyre feeling the energy because there is a
specific recipe and you do need to know how to cultivate your life
force in the right way and so going through all of these training and
basically extracting from it the stuff that was sensible and piecing it
together, you and I came up with this formula.
Now, I want to read something because this was very interesting
when I came across this and I was reading through the book and I
bet you know where Im going because this probably impressed you
too and
Peter Ragnar: Okay.
Tristan Truscott: Okay, here it is. Were talking about qigong. So,
qigong is a series of gentle movements that stimulates strength,
energy flow, increased energy and many other health benefits. I
have a friend named Peter Ragnar who lives in Tennessee and hes
a senior citizen. He has the body and skin of an athlete in his 30s.
No one would ever guess this mans age. He practices most of the
concept described in this book. One of the things he does which he
believes is the major cause of his youthful appearance and incredible
health is qigong in just 10 minutes a day.
Is that true? Is that all it takes just 10 minutes?
Peter Ragnar: Thats what I was doing. When this book was written,
I think Kevin had called me prior to the book coming out, obviously,
thats where we got the information and thats what I was doing then.
It was like a decade ago, 10 minutes a day and people, 10 minutes?
Wait a minute, 10 minutes? Yes, 10 minutes.
Tristan Truscott: So, it doesnt have to take four hours or 10
years

I promise you, the next week, I got a phone call from his company.
They thought that I was one of their members in their company they
did a coaching program. And I wasnt. I just downloaded a free
book. This is book, The Answer I got the first chapter free. Its
awesome. Im thinking, these guys just called me and I wanted to
meet John. So I told them I wanted to meet John and within a couple
of weeks, Sabrina and I were in his office in San Diego talking about
a deal.
Peter Ragnar: Wow.
Tristan Truscott: And we ended up becoming business partners
and having this wonderful journey together creating a program. So,
while I was sitting in his waiting room, getting ready in the waiting
room like the doctor, Im going to go see the doctor. Im waiting with
Sabrina. I started to get nervous. Oh, my gosh, Im about to walk in
and deliver a pitch, a business thing to this guy from the movie, The
Secret and I said, no. I walked outside. I did the tapping. I did a
couple of the deep qigong breaths. I did a couple of moves and I
closed my eyes and I envisioned John walking out of his office, me
walking back in and then he walks right up and he just gives me this
big hug.
I walked back into the room. John is coming out of the office. He
walks right up and we have this big hug and my manifestation popped
like that.
Peter Ragnar: What a power of incredible attraction.
Tristan Truscott: Its a sweet place to live and I want you to really
quickly, because this is a beautiful thing, share about these amazing
animal experiences. Whats going on that youre with the bears? Ive
seen it in the videos, whats going on?
Peter Ragnar: Well, hey, I got a lot of friends. Its easy. These guys
are just attracted to you and thats the power of qigong because
qigong is such a natural process that youre in harmony with nature
11
and because of that, thats why I had wild bears come up that I could
pet. I had one guy
Tristan Truscott: This is like 500 pounds, right?
Peter Ragnar: Yes, I had big (one) I would wrestle with and then I
had Rasputin, the wild boar that had come to the back door. Id call
him out of the forest at night and you could hear him come snorting
running through the brush.
Tristan Truscott: Really?
Peter Ragnar: Id grab him by the hair and by the ears and shake
him
Tristan Truscott: Wow.
Peter Ragnar: a big tusk, a big sharp, razor-harp tusk and then
(Heart Song), wild coyote showed up one night. It was one night in
January, came to the door, I opened the door and he came in, sat
down by the fireplace with me, wild animals and then I was doing a
seminar, had a 100 people in my living room, a 100 people and this
red-shouldered hawk, about this tall came right to the door. I opened
the door. It jumped up on my bare arm. I carried it in before all the
people and I mean I dont know where it came from. Everybody
thought it was my pet and I said, Ive never seen it before. Open the
door and just bam! He flew up on a tree and sat there while we had a
program.
Tristan Truscott: Wow.
Peter Ragnar: But this is the power of getting so in tune with nature
and the most natural thing that people can do, you want to get in tune
with nature. You do this qigong, this special type of qigong, 10
minutes, thats it and you got it.

Tristan Truscott: I love that. So, we can have these magical things
happen in our lives and they do. They show up. Theyre so many
countless stories of our students. We have Tommy Shultz who
walked into the dojo on a cane, okay, going blind and deaf on one
side and losing his feeling all the down through this leg because of
MS which I know you could probably go deep into whats going on in
the brain and the myelin sheaths and the cells but he was doing
qigong and lots of visualization training with me and he trained for five
and a half years and he rewired his brain somehow and overcame
MS and earned his black belt
Peter Ragnar: Wow.
Tristan Truscott: one of the most powerful people that Ive ever
seen kick and punch who was on a cane wobbling in the door.
Peter Ragnar: And that blows my mind. I mean anyone who
understands how difficult that would be, ordinarily, under those
circumstances seems impossible.
Tristan Truscott: Yes, it just blew my mind. I think it blew
everybodys mind. It blew Tommys mind. The newspaper wrote
articles about it but he took those principles and he put them into his
routine and I taught him how to use his mind, how to use his body
how to focus, how to breathe right and he did the work. Thats the
key. He did the work and it does create miracles. It creates ways of
rewiring your brain. I think he rewired his brain. He worked around
those myelin sheaths he had been attacked, whatever it was, its a
medical miracle.
Now, we want to pay forward all of the stuff that were learning
because qigong is so helpful and so magical. Weve created a fourweek training course that guides you through everything Peter and I
are talking about. Its the 10-minute routines that we do and what it
does is it helps you to build your energy week by week so that you
can absorb and accumulate more and more over time.
13
Peter and I are going to train you and walk you through the process
of how to breathe right, how to hold your body right, how to use your
mind to direct the qi, all of the little nuances and without these simple
secrets, qigong wont work. We know this. It has to be done right
and if you dont do qigong right, stuff can happen right?
Peter Ragnar: Really, its like trying to run 220 through a 110-watt
light bulb. Well, youre not going to do that. Its going to blow the
light bulb up. So, what were going to teach you to do is how to
regulate your body in such a way that youll be capable of absorbing
and storing and cultivating this kind of energy, which we call qi and
this program is simple. Its natural. Its shockingly easy and youre
going to be able to do it because were going to eliminate all those
doubts and give you the full confidence and so youre going to get a
peek preview as to how you can train with Tristan and myself.
Tristan Truscott: Were going to take you up into the mountains and
were going to train together. Thank you. Thank you for your time,
your attention, your presence and thank you for all the wonderful
comments.
Peter Ragnar: Yes, thank you. Well see you soon.
Tristan Truscott: See you soon.
