From Stress To Peace
Dr. Joe Schaefer was in crisis mode in 2002 after the tech-crash decimated the membership for his 9 martial art schools. Teaching 35 classes per week and driving to teach at three separate locations was taking its toll. His life of high stress and workaholic nature were making him wish he had pursued a different career. In 2004 he discovered an amazing yet little known technique called Open Focus. It was being taught at a small research center in New Jersey. Dr. Joe immediately recognized the similarities to Tai Chi and meditation, He traveled to study Open Focus and become certified as an Open Focus trainer and expert in the use of the 5 Channel NeuroSynchrony Feedback Machine.
15 Years Later
Since that day in 2004, Dr. Schaefer has incorporated Open Focus practice into his own life and merged some of the concepts into his Tai Chi instruction. He eliminated his own high blood pressure, reduced his stress and anxiety and overcame his life-long ADD struggles. His Tai Chi and Chi Kung practice deepened incredibly as a result of Open Focus attentional training.
During the last 15 years, concepts of mindfulness and “Living In The Moment” have become common place ideas. However, there has yet to be a simplified and dependable method for achieving these lofty goals. Dr. Joe has yet to see ANYTHING that rivals Open Focus. It is simple and doesn’t conflict with any belief systems or religions. It is simply a new way of processing sensory information that changes and depressurizes your nervous system.
Dr. Joe Is On A Mission
Dr. Joe has been using small amounts of Open Focus in Tai Chi for 15 years when he teaches. However, he recently decided that Open Focus was TOO POWERFUL and LIFE CHANGING of a technique to keep hidden. Along with Master Sheryl Schaefer, he has created this seminar experience to help people literally change their lives with Open Focus, Tai Chi and Chi Kung.

THE EPIDEMIC OF CHRONIC STRESS
A Symptom Of Our World
Stress and anxiety are reaching epidemic levels in our fast-paced world. It is a very complex problem. And it usually becomes more serious over time. The problem is that we are so deep in this feedback loop that we can’t get a breath to escape it.
Chronic stress leaves a path of destruction through our lives and our bodies. One by one our organs start to suffer the effect of running “full tilt” every hour of the day.
You Have The Power
The good news is that if you got yourself into this condition, you can escape it. Our bodies have amazing RESTORATIVE power. If we can help our mind and body escape the chronic stress-cycle, then we can heal all manner of ailments.
A Formula 30 Years in The Making
After 30 years of teaching Tai Chi, Chi Kung and Relaxation techniques, I can tell you that people can change their health from the inside out. Master Sheryl and I have created a 3.5 hour seminar that combines the powerful experiences from Tai Chi, Chi Kung (Chinese breath training method), Mindfulness and the Science of Relaxation.

Comment From Most Recent (September)Workshop
“I don’t know why more people haven’t heard of this technique. It is the ONLY thing I have ever tried that really reduces anxiety, stress and tension almost IMMEDIATELY!”
-September 2019 Attendee
“During this seminar I learned a lot about the relaxation method of Open Focus. I became very relaxed and calm while we practiced this method. I have not heard of this method before and I think it will be very useful with my work with geriatrics. I am always looking for ways to relax them and/or relieve their pain. I think the method of Open Focus will be a good addition to my work. I feel that Master Joe explained and demonstrated very well with the group about how Open Focus works and how it feels on the body. I definitely would recommend this to others who may need it for themselves or in their work with others. He also gave us good references that could be used to further their knowledge.
