As I left for the office this morning I saw a young woman
dressed as a witch walking down the street with a pointy hat
and long green hair but instead of a long gown she was wearing
what looked like a bikini top and a very short skirt. Not the
kind of witch I remember seeing growing up but this is Miami
after all.
I do think the whole Halloween thing is fun and has a purpose.
Sure Halloween is a time for little kids to get candy and have
a fun time we all know that but there is a deeper meaning that
is more for adults.
The reason why Halloween is so popular is because of what is
deep inside of all of us; it’s not limited to any one culture.
Every culture on the planet has the idea of ghosts, goblins,
and everything else spooky. There is a name for “ghost”
and “witch” in almost every language.
Every culture has a traditional harvest celebration as the fall
passes into winter and we prepare for winter. In ancient times
the thought of winter alone was very scary.
Every culture has some sort of tradition for honoring the dead.
From the view of Chinese Medicine this is natural and has to do
with the changing of the seasons. As the nights become visibly
shorter and cooler we are reminded of our own mortality,
vulnerabilities and fear.
So we have a party and buffoon our own fears, play games, stay
up late, tell ghost stories and make being scared fun.
I saw a news story that said even though people were tightening
down their own spending because of the bad economy people were
spending MORE money this year on Halloween and parties and it
makes sense.
People are so freaked out these days with the economy, real
estate, troubles overseas and the election we need a break more
than ever.
Whether you call it Sowen, Teng Chieh, All Hallows Eve, Dia Del
Muerte, All Saints Day, Halloween or whatever, make the most of
it.
Take a moment and consider all the things you fear, fear
losing, or have already lost and miss dearly and consider what
it would take to smile or even laugh in the face of that.
Take a moment and breathe deeply and remember that there’s
something going on here beyond you. Your heart beats when you
don’t pay attention. Your lungs work even when you forget. All
the organs of the body are working to keep you alive every
moment of the day. It’s magical.
Take a moment and laugh be grateful that something is working
to keep you alive even if you get stressed out or captivated by
fear.
You can learn to consciously release stress, tension, and fear
and work on the behalf of your body but you have to first face
it, smile and let go.
Once you do that you can begin to work on the same side as your
body and bring even greater energy and happiness throughout
your body and your life. It’s what I do, it’s the nature of my
Medicine and the way I teach.
I’m giving out new teachings every month and sending out a DVD
every month along with a follow-up conference call every month
but it is only available to the members of the Inner Circle. I
had few new members sign up yesterday (welcome aboard!) and as
promised I’m sending them the DVD and recorded call with the 9
point rooting and grounding meditation in addition to all the
monthly goodies.
Plus 2009 Inner Circle members are going to get even more free
products in the next few months to test drive before I release
them to the general public.
I am in the process of preparing for the 2009 Qi Gong Inner
Circle and updating the website but I’m going to allow another
27 people in but seats are going fast. Sign up at
http://qigonginnercircle.com now, you can get a seat for the
whole 2009 program just by ordering at the monthly price.
Have a spooky good time tonight,
Dr. Wu Dhi
PS: If you’re eating candy be sure to drink lots of water,
candy is fun to eat but its rarely an all natural product so
you want to keep flushing that stuff out of your body.
PPS: you are always welcome to forward my emails on to anybody
you think might enjoy them or have them sign up at
