As Simon Blow lay in a hospital in intensive care, attached to a life support system, his family was told to be prepared for the worst. The injuries he had sustained in a head-on collision meant Simon, if he lived, might never be able to lead a normal life.

In 1979 at the age of nineteen Simon was told his future would include constant pain requiring drug treatment and early retirement at the age of 40. After four months in hospital Simon underwent four years of intensive physical rehabilitation at a number of special clinics for patients with chronic injury. After several structural operations, one of Australia's leading orthopedic surgeons told him he must accept the fact that he would never again lead a active life.

However, Simon had different ideas. He became determined to turn around his grim prognosis. A chance recommendation to a doctor, who was also a practitioner of natural therapies, was to prove invaluable.He began a journey that took him into modalities such as acupuncture and osteopathy, but more importantly into personal growth and meditation.

But his physical disintegration continued. Simon's osteopath evaluated him as being a 26-year-old with the body of a 65-year-old man in decline. Something would have to be done if he was to escape the prediction of his orthopedic doctor. The osteopath suggested he take up Tai Chi. Simon's decision to act on this suggestion was to be a defining moment in his life.

In 1987 Simon joined one of Australia's largest Tai Chi organizations. At the start he found it extremely difficult to maintain any sort of balance but felt an immediate connection with the movements. Four years latter, this man condemned to life with a walking stick became a Tai Chi instructor. Simon's practice was starting to take him further into the internal aspects of Qi (Chi, or life force). In 1994 he met Qigong Master Jack Lim and has been associated with the Jack Lim Qigong Academy since 1996.

In 1998 Jack Lim gave Simon the title of Qigong Master in recognition of his deeper understanding and his ability to assist others in their own transformation of their Qi. Twenty years after his near fatal accident, Simon sees his purpose as quite clear.

Since 1992 he has been working full-time with the Life Force energy to increase health and longevity and to help inspire people. He offers a range of classes, talks, workshops and retreats as well as leading study tours to China aimed at giving people the opportunity of cultivating their internal energies.
