Discomfort

Continuing the idea of illusions from last week, here is how believing in these ideas can dictate how you act everyday. Association with an idea can lead to illness or health, right choices or less desirable ones...

Some spiritual paths are aimed at enlightenment. to be enlightened is to "wake up". Being a part of a illusory world we develop attachments to things that are transient in nature - and that is the cause of our suffering and illness. To heal is a process of letting go of that which we attached to. In this episode we will look into these illusions and how we can slowly wake up from them.

The Chinese New Year is here. This year is the year of the Wood Dragon. In the Chinese calendar the next wood dragon year will be in 60 years. In the roman calendar years never repeat...

Conflict in the world creates conflict inside. When you are in one consciousness it is impossible to change to another. If I find myself arguing in my head - I have no chance of finding quiet outside of me. I'm aware of the struggle, and I keep trying anyway. May we all succeed together.

There is only one side in this conflict - the side of peace. Please share so we can change the paradigm.

Please listen, Please share, We can rise and unite.

The Western world is still quite skeptical when it comes to Chinese Medicine. Even Chinese medical practitioners doubt the full power of their own profession. It's ok to try to understand how it works, but sometimes there's an added attitude that goes with that skepticism - or even dismissal of "old" ideas.

What do we "give" when we forgive? What do we get when we forget? These words are unique to the english language - but maybe we can learn something about these concepts.

Some seek acupuncture for pain or a specific illness. In which case the role of both parties are simple - I have pain, you take away my pain. But pain and illness come from areas the patients are unaware of. The role of the practitioner, therefore, becomes a bit more complex.

Healing is uncomfortable. When you are comfortable you don't change. Life provides us with interactions that serve as mirrors and can provide insight to the way we act - sometimes we might not like what we see... that is uncomfortable . מוקדש לעפרה, מהלב.
