How to increase your Qi to go deeper in your meditations

Detox It was a great weekend!
I am on the “Core Restore liver cleanses”, a 7-day
program to clean out toxins out of my body.

Although the first two days were a little rough
and I needed to get a lot more sleep, I feel good
and now my energy level is way up! My head is
clear, I dropped more than 5 pounds and my
meditations are much deeper.

Every morning long before the sun comes
I walk down to the ocean and begin my
Qi Gong practices.
It’s usually still dark and very quite
it’s the best time to train and your meditations
will be much stronger.
My focus this week has been slow moving Yin
exercises, like the Yin Set
http://www.rechargingqigong.com/yin-set.html
and the Flying Crane QiGong.
http://www.rechargingqigong.com/flying-crane-qi-gong.html

When you are around large bodies of water you can relax deeper
and it’s much easier to open up your spiritual centers
The water element is very grounding. You just need to take
time to embrace the energy.
Our internal Qi should flow downward like water.
When you are around water let your energy sink
down. This will keep your body relaxed, your mind
calm and keep you rooted.

I am sure that we all want to go deeper in our
meditations and generate more Qi. Try the 7 day
detox program. It will enhance your body, mind and
spirit.

I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and
happiness.

The best time to drink water and why

Wednesday, January 16th, 2013
Share

Jack Frost is alive and well in most parts of
northern USA. My friends and family report
freezing cold weather and are bundled up in their
winter cocoon. I don’t miss old man winter a bit.
I did enough cold, ice and snow when I lived in
Michigan and Colorado. Sunny Miami Beach is for me
this time of the year! Although it’s been
unusually warm in the high 70’s and even in the
80’s this time of the year, not bad and I am
surely not complaining!
What we are getting in the Sun Belt is strong
winds daily but as long as the ocean doesn’t rise
too quickly….. I am good.

In the Chinese five-element system this time of
the year, “Winter” is ruled by the water element
and corresponds to the Kidney and the Urinary
Bladder. It’s represented by the color blue
or black, has a salty taste and is most associated
with ears, hearing and alert-stillness. The
direction is north and the negative emotion
is fear, and the positive one is wisdom /Awe. As
you would expect the environment is cold,
of course it would be “it’s winter time.”
You may have forgotten how important it is to stay
hydrated all winter. We usually think more about
hydration in the hot summer, but winter cold
weather can dry you out like a prune. There is
less moisture in the air, you are in heated homes
most of the time all of this can suck you dry.
Water is the drink of choice to keep your system
well hydrated.

How many folks do you know who say they don’t want
to drink anything before going to bed because
they’ll have to get up during the
night?!?



Why do people need to urinate so much at
nighttime?

-
Gravity holds water in the lower part of
your body when you are upright (legs swell). When
you lie down and the lower body (legs etc.) seeks
level with the kidneys, it is then that the
kidneys remove the water because it is easier. We
need water to help flush the toxins out of your
body; I bet you didn’t know this; there is a
correct time to drink water… Very Important!
Drinking water at a certain time maximizes
its effectiveness on the body: Two glasses of
water after waking up helps activate internal
organs. One glass of water 30 minutes before a
meal helps digestion, one glass of water before
taking a bath – helps lower blood pressure and a
glass of water before going to bed can help avoid
stroke or heart attack.




Also drinking water at bed time will help prevent
night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are
seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up
with a Charlie Horse.

If you have a
blockage in your digestive system your entire body
is out of whack. The problem is that when we get
blocked up, the toxins accumulate in our cells,
blood, tissues and organs. When they are stored
there for any length of time all kinds of health
problems rear their ugly heads. Basically our
digestive track is a large tube running from the
mouth to the anus. If you put in good fuel
(food) and clean water, everything does its job
and moves through the tube unobstructed and you
feel good.

Don’t let your diet plug you up, make you sick and
fat.

There is a product that I have been recommending
to my patients and hundreds of them are getting
great results. It’s called Oxy-hydrate by Qi
Essentials. It oxygenates your body as it detoxes.
Oxy-hydrate magnesium peroxide compound contains
detoxification properties that are revolutionary
in colon care.

A Natural detoxifier Oxy- hydrate works with
nature’s own powerful detoxifiers—oxygen and
minerals —to create the perfect detoxification and
hydration to your colon.
Best of all, it is not a harmful laxative. The
innovative formula helps to put needed moisture
into the intestine.
It provides superior cleaning ability, yet is safe
and gentle on all systems.
A large 180-pill bottle sells for only $26 and can
be shipped directly to you.
Take a good look at this one, it’s a winner!

How to stay warm this Winter

Friday, December 28th, 2012
Share

Winter is here again and now the days are getting
longer in the Northern hemisphere. Depending where
you live you could see as much as 8 minutes more
of light a day.
I have already started my winter organic garden
with lettuce, onions, garlic and tomato’s as well
as a host of herbs. My organic garden will produce
food for about 5 months and I know it’s organic
for sure. The garden does more for me than just
produce food; it is a way to stay in touch with
nature, stay grounded and a wonderful way to
meditate.

In Chinese Medicine, the different seasons of the
year are associated with certain organs of the
body. Winter is ruled by the Water element, which
is associated with the Bladder and the Kidneys.
Chinese Medicine sees that the internal organs are
related to the physical symptoms of a person. For
example, the bladder and the kidneys are nourished
by the cold climate in the winter, but extreme
coldness or wetness can also injure them like deep
stiffness or pain, especially in the low back and
knees.

The ears are the sense organs
associated also with the Water element.
Interesting enough, the kidneys and ears are
shaped similarly. A water element disharmony in
the cold season can cause problems of the ears or
hearing. Another association to the water element
is the bones and any changes in the head ike hair
loss and premature graying may also suggest an
imbalance of the water element.

The specific
emotional imbalance associated with water element
is fear; and fear can itself injure the Bladder
and Kidney organs. On a brighter note, the
positive emotion is gentleness; being gentle to
yourself as well as to others.

I like to go to sleep early in the winter and
sleep in a little later. During this time of year
it helps the immune system keep everything strong
and healthy.

I’ll eat more root vegetables and have a hardy
soup for dinner at least a few times a week. Here
is one of my favorite recipes that will keep you
warm all winter and the kidneys tonified and warm.

Dr. Wu’s Tonifying Lamb Stew
I made this recipe many times in the colder months
and it keeps your entire system warm. The Lamb
stew is excellent for stomach problems, a good
source of iron and essential oils. It nourishes
the liver, kidneys, tendons and strengthens the
bones.

Ingredients
2 lbs. of lamb
1 Garlic head
1 kohlrabi cubed
Fresh Rosemary (excellent stomach and nerve
curing)
Burdock Root (source of iron and essential oils)
Lotus Root (crunchy texture cools the blood and
stimulates the appetite)
1 Parsnip
1 cup of Sliced Carrots
2 Red potatoes
2 Cubed Turnips
2 cups of fresh Okras cut in half
2 cups Shou wu chih (tonifies blood, nourishes the
liver, kidneys, tendons and strengthens bones)
¼ cup Brags liquid amino acids
1 Tsp. Olive oil
Himalayan Sea Salt to taste
A Few shakes Cayenne pepper
Pure filtered or spring Water
¼ cup of Black fungus

Cooking instructions
1. Cut the lamb into about 1 inch squares. Place
on a skillet, I prefer the old iron ones, and add
about a cup full of olive oil. Add ½ of garlic and
cook in the skillet till meat is brown. Next,
place the browned meat in a large pot. Add about ½
gallon of water. Cook for about an hour or 2 until
the meat is nearly done.

2. While it’s cooking, add a sprig of fresh
Organic Rosemary. Then add the sliced thinly
Burdock right after; it takes the longest to cook.
Stir in the turnip and kohlrabi at the same time.
Let it boil for a while and then add the potatoes
and lotus root and then the 2 cups of Shou wu
chih. Stir in the other half of the garlic and the
okras.

3. Once it’s cooked, add the sea salt, cayenne and
olive oil. Serve.

In the past I have made this dish with venison, or
elk it’s just as good but you may have to add more
olive oil.

Winter is my favored time in South Florida. The
temperature is in the high sixties and the low
seventies and the humidity is low. I am on the
beach every morning doing the Recharging Qi Gong
program. It works on keeping all the organs
healthy and keeps me limber. If I only had one
exercise program to do for my overall health this
would be it, The Recharging Qi Gong program is the
first choice with thousands of people now
practicing in 7 different continents.

Strengthen Your Creativity

Monday, December 10th, 2012
Share

Last week Miami was lit up with more than holiday lights.
The city was buzzing with artist, art collectors,
art dealers and art enthusiasts from all over the world
that came to Miami for “Art Basel” –
one of the major art events in the world and it was huge.

I spent days on the art trail seeing some of the most
creative pieces of work both new and old.
One thing I really noticed more than ever was people were
friendlier,more helpful and had a better attitude everywhere.

Happy times make for happy people,
and creativity can make you Happier.

We are all born with a great deal of creativity
but most people have it squashed, as they get older.
Interesting enough creativity is also our sexual energy
and according to Chinese medicine that’s what rules
the water element our (kidneys and bladder).

It’s true some people are more creative than others
and are born with a unique talent,
but if you want to nurture your talent there things you
can do to be more creative.
There is a technique in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
called mirroring and matching where you emulate
the person you want to be like.
This can be a big help in enhancing your creativity.

I have also used this technique in my spiritual work
following my Master in his habits like eating the same foods,
doing the same exercise and observing what he does.
There is a story of Guru that goes to the river to bathe
and do his morning prayers. He than then took some
rocks and piled them up and began his ritual.
Unbeknownst to the Master his students also piled up the rocks
and began their prayers and bathing rituals.
When the Guru got out of the river he asked the students,
“why they piled up rocks?” One student said,
“Because you did Master.” One brave student asked,
“Master why did you pile the rocks up?
Is it a special kind of blessing?”
The master said “I did it so when I get out of the river
I would know where my clothes are when I get out of the river”.

To be creative you need to ask a lot of questions.
First learn by observation then study
and embody what you have learned and then open up your creativity.

How can you enhance your creative ability?
Observe the habits of creative people,
identify the ones that you feel will work for you
and then make a plan to cultivate them.

1. Ask lots of questions. Keep asking what, why, when,
where and how.
This will keep your mind open and increase your child like
nature and your creativity.

2. Failure is not an option
Realize that the energy that creates great ideas,
also creates errors.
Know that failure is not really the opposite of success.
Both failure and success are on the same side of the spectrum.
You can actually fail yourself to success.

3. Value ideas of others and yourselves.
Write down your ideas whenever they occur no matter
if silly or impossible, you never know it may be workable

4. Embrace challenges.
Challenges bring the best out in us and
give us an opportunity to go beyond our own limitations.

5. Be full of enthusiasm.
This enthusiasm is the fuel for their journey;
the more excited you are about your project the more
creative you can be.

6. Don’t be satisfied with the normal.
Creative people are acutely aware of their
dissatisfactions with the way so called
normal and strive to improve on every situation.

7. Be persistent.
Never give up, it may take time and energy but as long
as you stay on purpose it will happen.
Sometimes I find the more creative the idea, the longer
it takes for it to be appreciated.

8. Be optimists.
Have the attitude that there is no problem that can’t be solved.

9. Become a problem-solvers
They are always looking for a solution to the problem they
will try this or that until the problem is solved.
They see a problem as an opportunity this stimulates the mind
and ones intercreativity.

Creativity and creative people can make a big impact
on you and our earth. Our mind needs to be stimulated
every day in as many different modalities as possible.

Study Qi Gong, learn the magic square, go dancing,
read a book on a new subject try different foods
and open up to all the creativity around you.

Give someone a different kind of present for the holidays
send them a copy of the Flying Crane Qi Gong
www.Flyingcraneqigong.com
be different, be open be creative.

I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness

The Keys to Vital Energy

Friday, April 13th, 2012

I want to thank all of you who wrote to me
asking for more information about the meridians
and how they are used in Chinese medicine and how
all of this applies to Qi Gong longevity practices.

Lets face it, we are all getting older every day and
unless you do something about it you are headed for the
traditional medical treatments, that’s a program that we
would all like to avoid. A lifetime of drugs and surgery
can and will ruin the quality of your life and make you old.

We all know the symbol for Yin and Yang –it’s very popular today
in Kung Fu schools, tattoo parlors and even in the media.
But do you know what the real meaning of the symbol is?

“The ancients envisioned their world in two halves – masculine and feminine.
Their gods and goddesses worked to keep a balance of power, Yin and Yang.
When male and female were balanced, there was harmony in the world.
When they were unbalanced there was chaos.”
― Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code

In Chinese medicine it stands for two of the most important organs in our
bodies, the Kidneys water and the Heart Fire.

The kidneys are considered the root of life, the Yin aspect of life.
They store the jing (our sexual energy) they are ruled by the water
element and if your kidneys are weak you’ll most likely have a sore back,
loss of your libido, hearing problems, hair loss and even sore knees.

The kidneys are the source of all Yin and Yang in the body.
The kidneys also have to do with psychic authority or will,
memory, cleverness and knowhow.

If you are having problems with your bones, and teeth, the root
cause can be the kidneys.

People that come into my office every day
with one big problem, BACK PAIN.

Here is what they say, “I can’t do the things I used to because
I have no Umpf, my get up and go has got up and gone.”

Most of these problems come from weak kidneys. But you can rejuvenate
and revitalize your kidneys and your back and improve your energy from
the inside out. I put together a program in the seventies that restores
your back and gives you your power back and I still use it
today with amazing results.

Yes I updated it and added more exercises and now it’s being used by
thousands of people all over the world to eliminate their back pain and
regain their energy. I will show you how you can instantly strengthen
and relax the muscles, tendons and ligaments of your back with simple
but highly effective exercises that you can do in just a few minutes every day.
I’ve made this program so easy for you to get.

Wealth Formula

I am back in Miami, busy as a
bee and I’m humming with energy!
Whenever I leave for a long weekend or
an extended trip I know when I return I am
going to be packed.

It has to do with a few things.
Of course patients who missed a treatment
now are jamming into the office, and my email
is full of questions about Qi Gong, health stuff
and what to do to slow down the aging process.
This will keep me moving at double-time for a few long days.

The magical part of traveling for me is the
Feng Shui aspect of it.
In the Chinese Ba Gua lie the internal teachings
of the Magic square. The Lo Shu Square as
it is called is part of the gift from the most ancient
Chinese mathematical geomancy concerned
with the placement of objects in relation to the flow of Qi.

In ancient China the people offered sacrifices
to the God of one of the flooding rivers, to try
to calm his anger. They say that a magical
turtle emerged from the water with the
interested pattern on its shell. The Lo Shu
pattern a series of circular dots and lines
giving a one through nine arrangements.
From this pattern the Emperor was able to
see a formula to divert the raging river and
save the city.

The Lo Shu is connected neurologically with the
trigrams in the Ba Gua. There are nine different
quadrants each one of them has to do with an
aspect of your life. The number six in northwest
direction has to do with travel and people of influence.
When we travel we meet people and when you open
to the spiritual aspects this draws in the energy from
the southeast bringing in fortunate blessings and wealth.

When I go on a journey it’s to see new places,
gather the energy and this last week was no
exception. Our ocean covers 71 % of the earth’s
surface and contains 97 % of the planet’s water.
When traveling on the ocean it’s easy to tune into
the vibrations of the water element, the greatest
energy source on the planet.
If you are ready to take a journey into the world of
Alchemy, Qi Gong, Fung Shui,
Taoist and Tibetan Buddhist meditation join
me in this adventure.

Qi Gong 6 week class will begin in Miami.

digestive system and reverse the aging process.

Unleash your Sexual Power!

Friday, February 10th, 2012

Whenever Billy gets close to scoring,
the game is over before it even starts.
Now he stays away from sexual encounters as
he is embarrassed and within minutes of getting
excited he blows his goo. He told me that sometimes
he looses it even before intercourse.

This can happen to anyone, regardless of age.
It affects sex life big time and the overall
satisfaction of the partners as well.
According to western medicine, premature ejaculation
is due to a heightened sensitivity to touch which
results in quick ejaculation and thus sex can’t be
continued for long.

The causes for premature ejaculation can be:
• Emotional aspects
• Stress
• Mental instability
• Depression
• Blood
• Excess Medicines or drugs
• Over drink Alcohol

Most men experience premature ejaculation at
some point in their lives. It becomes a serious
health condition only if it persists over a period of
time and may be a precursor to impotency.
Most cases of premature ejaculation remain
undiagnosed and untreated because of the stigma
associated with this condition. ?? ?

Current evidence supports an average intra-vaginal
ejaculation potential time of six and a half minutes in
18-30 year olds. If it’s below this time, this is
considered premature ejaculation

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) see’s Premature Ejaculation
most commonly caused by a Kidney disorder.

There are many other patterns associated with this disorder
but most commonly have an underlying kidney deficiency.

Kidney deficiency with Liver Qi Stagnation:

Kidney is deficient in general, plus emotional factors
stagnate the Liver, like anger. This can lead to heat which forces
an already weak Ming Men Fire, (“The Door of Life”) It’s located
just beneath the two kidneys, and exactly opposite the navel, and
it is associated with the water element. These people are generally
depressed, have a bitter taste in the mouth, dry throat, and blurred vision.
Chinese Herbal Formula: see your Chinese herbalist

Kidney Yin deficiency with Fire Rising:

Excessive amounts of sexual activity, which leads to
this condition of premature ejaculation.
There are general symptoms of hot feet, night sweats,
red cheeks, mild anxiety, and low back ache.

Kidney Qi deficiency:

This type of premature ejaculation revolves around fatigue.
Although there is also low libido, when this individual can
achieve an erection it will not last long and will experience
premature ejaculation. The body will show signs of poor energy,
low back ache, dribbling urine or frequent urination, urination
at night, weak knees low sex drive and possible sense of cold,
especially the feet.

Fear/Shock injure Kidney:

Premature ejaculation occurring after a traumatic event in ones life.
There is a sudden feeling of fear or fright, which changes the
behavior of the individual. There also may be insomnia, fear of
crowds or similar uneasy feelings.

What can one do to hold on to your goodies:

• The Dear Exercise
• Chinese sexual weight lifting
• Deep thrill exercise
• Sexual male massage
• Sexual enhancement diet
• Sexual Qi Gong exercises

Happy New Year

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

Getting ready for the water Dragon year
I started by inviting the Dragon into my home
last week. I hung up red Chinese lanterns,
bought all of the incenses, wine, and sweets and
set up the dragon fountain to honor and invite the
legendary animal in 2012. I woke up at 4:00 am to
honor the dragon energy and the new moon into my
home for good luck, health and wealth for the year.

Noodles are the traditional dish for the New Year
and I’ll cook fish for dinner. The Dragon is coated
with mysterious colors. Chinese consider that the
dragon is unpredictable, untouchable and people
cannot see its head and tail at the same time.
Therefore, we might see something unexpected
happening in 2012.
The water Dragon is an energetic year characterized
by movements and changes.

The Fung Shui experts are predicting an
increase in epidemics and health risks involving viruses.
Therefore, diet, hygiene and exercise will be very
important this year. The more responsibility you take
for your own health the better off you will be in the Dragon year.
As it’s a water dragon, pay more attention into
keeping your kidneys and bladder healthy.
There can also be stomach problems so eat healthy,
fresh and clean food. Get a good vegetable wash and
clean your fruits and veggies very well.
The water element sits on the earth element which
sounds like there will be a lot of mud stirred up.
I always urge you to practice, this year it will be the year to do so.

“Hang a metal wind chime in the South-East of
your home,”-that’s a Fung Shui protection.
We can expect more natural calamities such as
floods and earthquakes. The water element have
to do with fear on the negative side and gentleness
on the positive side, so be more gentle with yourself
and others and the year will be a lot smoother for you
and your family.
I have been spending more time working on
Yin practices like the Yin set that clears and tonifies
the internal organs. It is very gentle, calming and
works wonders on the
Lungs, Kidneys, Heart, Liver and Spleen.

You’ll find these magical exercises in the
Recharging Qi gong program.

How to Stay Bug Free While Traveling

Friday, December 9th, 2011
Share

I am about to do some
holiday travel for a few days.
I will be flying up North for
some alone time to write,
meditate and relax.
Although I love to travel, air travel
isn’t as much fun as it used to be.
Especially if you’re on commercial
flights! There is no real food, small
seats and lots of time delays.
When you fly for hours with a group of
people from all over the
World, you never know what bug you can pickup.

Things like colds, flu’s, coughs
or something much worse. I am thinking of
wearing a mask so I am not breathing in
everyone’s germs.
We all know that the airports aren’t the healthiest
places with the over crowded planes filled to
capacity with a bunch of stressed out
people herded into flying machines with crying
babies, bad air, rude employees,
and pissed off passengers.

When I first took a flight years ago, you would
get dressed up to go somewhere and order your
food in advance. You felt you were one
of the privileged to fly. It’s still exciting to
travel for me and it’s one
of the keys to wealth and opportunities in the
Chinese Fung Shui—

Whenever I travel, I make sure I am
in tip top shape.
I always prepare for my trips in advance
to avoid getting
stressed out.

When traveling, you can avoid stressing out
and stay healthy as well.
Here’s how I do it:

1. A few weeks before I hit the road I
start my program.

I increase my meditation and my Qi gong,
paying special attention to the
water element- the Kidneys and the Adrenals,
this builds more internal power
and you can blow your stress away easily.

2. I really Beef-up on my vitamins and
minerals, especially the Vitamin B,
Vitamin C and I take the Chinese tonics
if I am going into the cold.

3. Sleep is really important to keep you stress free.
Get a good nights sleep the day before you travel.
I always travel with my own pillow that makes
every bed I sleep in feel comfortable.

4. Eat good meals with protein and veggies for a
few days before you travel and on the trip.
While traveling, make sure you’re well nourished
and stay light on the carbs, skip the coffee,
chocolate and alcohol.

5. I drink at least 2 quarts of pure water to stay
well hydrated. Flying will dehydrate
your entire system and prune you out.
You may not realize it, but you can easily
suffer from dehydration on airplanes,
especially on long flights. That’s because
air in an airline cabin is usually much dryer than the air on Earth.

6. Keep your colon healthy and your
bowels moving. I increase the amount of oil I ingest.
I like Udo’s oil 3.6.9, you can pick it up at the
health food store and good pure fish oil.

The vitamins and minerals that work the best
for my patients and me are:

Oxy-Hydrate; a powerful one that keeps
the colon healthy.

Adrenal Qi boosts your adrenal glands to keep you stress free.

have fun and stay healthy!

The Magic of Winter Intenal Qi Gong

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

IMG_3490Last night I came home after sundown and the whole
house was completely dark.
Instead of turning on the lights I lit a candle.
I never do this sort of thing but the house seemed
so quiet and peaceful I wanted to just sit and open
to the quietness.

I spent the majority of the night in contemplative
meditation.We are in the Winter Solstice and it is
an excellent time to take time to be quiet and reflect
on the past year.
I recommend doing this for yourself as a matter of
self-cultivation.
With all the crazy energy around the holidays and
year-end you want to make sure that you cool-out
and recollect yourself before you burn-out.
Once you do I think you will find that the rush of
the holidays and year-end quiets down and you can
refocus on those things that are most important.

In Chinese medicine Winter is associated with the
element Water. Water energy has the attributes of:
•Cold
•Damp
•Quiet
•Stillness
•Calmness
•Smoothness
•Listening
•The Kidney organ and meridian

This energy is available in the atmosphere
throughout the winter. Just slow down,
sit quietly in a natural place and pull in the
atmosphere. Winter Water energy is also
associated with a special type of Awareness that,
from Chinese to English, best translates as
Alert Stillness. In the Chinese Medicine system we
use animal associations to signify these types of
energy, and as such, the animal for the water element
and organ of the Kidney is the Deer.
The Deer is chosen because it is a master of Alert
Stillness. When you think of a deer you think of an
animal that is impossible to sneak up on.
The slightest snap of a twig and the Deer has
disappeared. This is not the same type of power of
a Tiger or a Dragon but it is a type of power that
completes us.
In the Bagua system of Martial Arts it takes a
whole circle of animals to become a Master.
We cannot always Push, Push, Push, sometimes we
need to sit, take inventory, and listen to the
atmosphere.
This is the power in the symbol of the deer and that
is the power of this time of year.
So take advantage of this time of solstice when this
energy is most powerful and abundant, you will not be
able to tap into this energy so easily in other seasons.
Winter, not just the New Year, is the best time to set
new plans and goals into action.
Take inventory of what is happening around you.
Upon deep consideration you may see more then
before.
Clarity is not achieved when you are rushing or
being hasty.
Opening is found in reflection.

Wishing you the best in Health, Wealth and Happiness,
Dr. Wu Dhi
