Smoking is hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, and dangerous to the lungs

Carla turns three years old this November, a
pretty little girl with smiles from ear to ear.
Unfortunately for her, both of her grandparents
smoke 2 to 3 packages of cigarettes a day! They
don’t smoke in front of the little girl though,
her mother told me they are closet smokers.

You’d wonder what they are thinking or if they are
thinking at all. It’s all over the news, on TV
even the shock jocks are telling how dangerous
smoking is for us and the second hand smoke is
just as bad.

What’s wrong with smoking?
-It robs your body of oxygen
-It prevents your immune system from repairing it
self
-It kills the taste buds
-Can leave your appetite in Shambles
-Impairs digestion
-Can Open you up to a host of Cancers

Timages What makes
tobacco harmful are the chemicals and toxins used
in the manufacturing of cigarettes, even the paper
has been found to be carcinogenic. The toxins from
smoking gets stored in fat tissue that we have and
when combined with a high fat diet you are
building a time bomb inside your body.

I see at least a dozen patients a week for the
acupuncture to stop smoking program and it works
75% to 80% of the time. If the person really wants
to stop it works 98% of the time. Hopefully the
grandparents will wake up and get to smell the
roses before it’s too late.

But this isn’t what I wanted to talk to you about
today. I want to tell you a little more about
Carla. She spends a lot of time with her grand
parents and even though they trying to curb the
smoking around her she gets enough second hand
smoke that the little girl developed a cough and
no matter what her mother did she couldn’t shake
it loose.

The mother took her to the pediatrician and Carla
was diagnosed with the croup. (Croup is a
condition that causes an inflammation of the upper
airways — the voice box and windpipe it often
leads to a barking cough or hoarseness.) Of
course the entire family was concerned and
followed the doctor’s advice to the letter.
We all bend over backwards when it comes to the
health of our children.

Here is the scary part:
They picked up the medicine and followed the
instructions -take 15cc, 3 times a day, just like
it says on the label. The child was rushed to the
hospital for a drug over dose. The instructions on
the bottle were wrong, just about dead wrong.
The correct dosage was 5 cc 3 times a day. Lucky
for everyone the child is recovering. The
pharmacist wrote down the wrong instructions. This
happens more times than you would ever image.
That’s why I prefer the alternative healthcare to
western medicine, homeopathic medicine, eating the
right foods for your health and doing internal
exercises to strengthen your organs.
Yes that includes your sexual organs as well. Join

Carla recovered and is back to smiling from ear
to ear.

Motown Opened the Gates of my Ancestors

When you travel, no matter if it’s
to the other side of town or a trip
to ancient lands, there is always a
treasure of knowledge at your
fingertips if you know how to open up to it.

I was brought up in The Midwest, Detroit,
which is my hometown. Even though
I live in Miami I still cheer for the Tigers,
the Lions, Red Wings and the Pistons.
My parents were born there and so were
my ten aunts and uncles as well as 22 first
cousins, even my grandparents were born
here on my mothers side. Our family has
roots in Detroit since the 1800’s.

The purpose of this trip to the homeland
was to visit Mom for Mother’s Day.
I don’t get to these parts a whole a lot,
maybe once or twice a year at most, so
when I do, I make sure I reconnect with my roots.
Hopefully our ancestors have cleared the way for
us and they did what they could to make the path
easier for us to follow, not that we all listen, but if
you do you can unlock treasures of wealth,
health and happiness.

The importance of connecting with our ancestors
and doing the ancestor practices is that they can
make you powerful, successful and happy or haunt
you your entire life.

In Asia these practices are held sacred to all of
the members of the family. They pay great respect
to their parents and to their older brothers and sisters.
When I visited my friend Michelle’s parents home
I noticed that she always made sure that her father
and mother were always greeted first and with the
highest respect. She is the oldest sister and she
gets the same respect from her younger brother
and sister.

It’s said that when you acknowledge
and honor your ancestors, you help
ensure their happiness and well-being
in the afterlife. It is a way of continuing
to show respect toward them, and it
reinforces the unity of family and lineage.
Showing respect to ancestors is an ideology
deeply rooted in Asian society.

It is believed that despite the death of a
loved one, the original relationship remains
intact, and that the deceased possess more
spiritual power than they did during life.
In a sense, the ancestors became thought
of as deities who had the ability to interact
and have an effect on our life.

When I teach my students the Qi Gong practices,
one of the first things that I teach them is rooting and
grounding techniques to keep them
stable, grounded, strong and to stay
connected with your lineage.

I pray and meditate for my ancestors’
continued happiness and that they keep
ascending to a higher place. Connecting
to your ancestors and ancestor practices
go back thousands of years. This is a ritual
that I emphasize to all of my students.
It will build your foundation, and strengthen your practices.

All of us belong to a tribe. Our tribes
today are our friends, family and our community.

When you become a member of the
Qi Gong Inner Circle, you are

joining a Spiritual Tribe, whose focus is
Health, Spiritual Growth and

Longevity. I personally invite you to
join me and the other members of

Our Tribe and reconnect with your
internal spirit.
