At 32, LD Chen was a successful CEO with over 1,000 employees—but also battling asthma, liver disease, chronic pain, anxiety, and a heart attack that nearly killed him. Nothing worked—until he discovered the ancient Taoist practice of Oneness. Now, LD is on a mission to bring this thousand-year-old healing tradition to one million people in the West.


Key Discussion Points:




  • The near-death moment that forced LD to rethink everything




  • Why modern medicine and traditional mindfulness failed him




  • The standing posture “genius design” that melts away stress and tension




  • How Oneness dissolves anger and deepens compassion over time




  • The science—and mystery—behind the practice’s power




  • Why he refuses to dilute its authenticity for the Western market




Takeaways:




  • True transformation often comes from unexpected, ancient sources




  • Healing the body can open doors to profound emotional and spiritual change




  • Simplicity, presence, and consistency beat quick fixes every time




Closing Thoughts:
LD’s journey is proof that a thousand-year-old practice can be more relevant today than ever—especially in a world drowning in stress, distraction, and hustle culture.
