Going Beyond Your Comfort Zone

I went to sleep last night early, around 10:00 pm.
I try to go to sleep earlier in the winter because
as we get closer to the winter solstice, sleep is
the best course to keep yourself healthy and to
align yourself with the season.

I was in a deep dream state and I heard a
crunching noise, my focus shifted to my hearing,
what could this be? Maybe my dreams were slipping
into a realm that I really didn’t want to be in.
All my senses went on high alert. I was lucid
enough to try to move into another state of
consciousness in the dream, but the crunching kept
going on and on. It was loud enough to wake me up
and when I was fully awake, I still heard the
crunching.

I got out of bed and walked into the kitchen where
the sound seemed to be coming from but nothing was
there. I got a flashlight and opened the back door
and to my amazement there was a very large possum
crunching on the bones of a furry animal. Oh My!
My bright light didn’t seem to disturb his meal
very much at all, he looked at me and went right
back to his eating. Opossums are not picky eaters
and will consume almost anything, including table
scraps and carrion. They do seem to have a
particular fondness for cat food, and I feed my
two cats “Yin & Yang” the tinned varieties. Mr.
Opossum seems to love cat food. Opossums just like
to eat everything. They have a diet consisting of
meat, rodents, insects, frogs, and plants
including fruit and grain.

This critter looked enormous to me! He was bigger
than both of my guard Cats and he was well fed.
Not someone I wanted to mess with for sure. So I
just said “bon appetite” and went back to bed.
In the morning there wasn’t a trace of Mr. Opossum
or what he was munching on. Last year around this
time I caught 4 or 5 Opossums in a trap and
relocated them a few miles away but as I learned
more about these Ratty looking creatures they
always come back to their hood. Even when taken
miles away.

Like many humans we feel more comfortable in a
certain space and return to it no matter if it’s
our neighborhood, our social standing, our job or
relationship. We go back to our comfort zone.
If you want to break out of your ghetto, your
position in life or your dysfunctional
relationship you must make some changes
internally. What you do on a daily basis, who you
associate with and even what you eat and where you
eat it can free you or keep you stuck like glue.
Over the last 3 decades or more I have been
working to pull myself out of the muck and to stay
on top of my game. Yea, it’s work to be on top,
feel good, be happy, healthy and wealthy. That’s
why I do it! I want the best for myself and
everyone who is around me.

I teach, I heal and train to be positive strong
and healthy. We all want to feel good, be
successful and have a happy life.

Don’t wait to be healthy, happy or wealthy, join
me and the members of the Qi Gong Inner Circle
today and make this holiday season the beginning
of having everything you want for yourself and
your family.

The Yin & Yang Path to Longevity Practices

The Yang aspect of the Yin and Yang symbol has to do
with Fire and the Heart.
Although the organs in traditional Chinese medicine
do not literally correspond to the anatomical organs
Instead, they are better understood in terms of the functions
they perform, which incorporate energetic,
emotional and spiritual aspects as well as physical.

The Heart is Often called the Emperor of the body,
the heart rules over blood circulation and vessels,
and controls sweating.
Shen, the mind or spirit, resides in the Heart,
and is responsible for mental processes, thinking, memory,
sleep and dreams.

Our heart is ruled by the element of fire.
Each organ in the body has a sense organ connected to it.
The Lungs open to the nose, The Spleen manifests on our lips,
The Kidneys have to do with our ears,
the Liver opens up to the eyes and the Hearts is associated
with our tongue.
If there are memory problems, insomnia, excessive dreaming,
forgetfulness or amnesia it is all to do with an unbalanced Heart.
The heart govern the mind not just the brain but also the whole
personality.

If our heart is functioning properly, the blood flows smoothly
and our personally is usually balanced.

When a patient comes into see me I always look at their tongue.
It shows pathologic changes in the heart.
If the tongue is pale there is a usually some deficiency in the body.
If I see a purple tongue it means there is blood stagnation
and a bright red tongue means there is too much heat in the body.
To be a good diagnostician one must learn how to observe
others and put the signs together.

There is a story about a professor who was teaching a group
of first year medical students the importance observation.

He passed out cups on the first day of class and instructed
the students to follow his instructions to the T.

Each student was told to go into the restroom and urinate
in the cup and return with the sample in hand.

They all followed his instructions and upon returning the professor,
again stressed the importance of good observation and instructed
them to follow closely.

The professor put his finger into the cup and very deliberately
stirred clockwise for 10 seconds, the students followed.

Then he stuck his finger in his mouth and the students all
followed. The professor said,
“The lesion here is to learn the importance of observation,
if you were paying close attention you would have
noticed that I was stirring the urine with my ring
finger and then I sucked my middle finger”.

“You can observe a lot just by watching.”
Yogi Berra

When I see a patient or work with a student the first thing
I do is observe their balance of Yin and Yang.
There needs to be a mutual support and communications
between the Yin and Yang.
If there is a disharmony:
“The heart and kidneys aren’t communicating”
And that means trouble.

The fire of the heart should warm the kidneys and the water
of the kidneys should irrigate and moisten the heart.
The kidney should cool the head and the heart should
warm the feet.

When the Fire and Water are in harmony they work together
the heart yang energy will nourish the kidneys and the
kidney yin energy will nourish the heart.

To make the most effective changes in your health or
longevity practices it takes both the patient and doctor
working together to bring the body/mind and spirit back
into balance and harmony.

That’s why prescriptive exercises are so very important;
it’s a way to keep your self-balanced.
The healing powers of the Recharging Qi Gong program

can pull one out of a multitude of health problems no
matter if it’s a disease that is affecting the body,
mind or spirit.
But you must practice.
It takes two wings to fly, one wing is the teaching that
I can coach you on,
but the other wing is the practice and that’s your part.
A bird doesn’t fly half as far with only one wind,
he just lies on the ground flapping around.
It takes two wings to fly and it takes both the teaching
and the practice to grow.
