Qigong Saved Me

First of all: anything I can do with technology and clinic, I could do with my bare hands.

The only difference would be time.

I can release tension and swelling in your body in under 10 minutes, restore the range of motion and strength in under 30 minutes, and have a strong enough effect on other body functions to reduce the symptoms of other conditions I cannot make medical claims about.

This is all done in one session now.

I've heard and seen people going to all kinds of practitioners for years who haven't gotten the same results as a single session at our clinic.

I was learning two types of medicine at the same time:

1. Traditional Eastern Medicine
2. Electromedicine

For 25 years, I toggled back and forth between the two, trying to find ways of getting results that both disciplines seemed to struggle with.

Everybody knows acupuncture exists, or acupressure or shiatsu or reflexology or whatever brand of Eastern medicine you are familiar with.

The medicine has existed for literally thousands of years.

People are just now starting to learn about electromedicine... You see tens units and Vegas nerve stimulators and electronic muscle stimulators all over the place, and those are just caveman level electromedicine.

In my opinion, the practitioner of the future will have the sensitive touch of an ancient healer, and the mind of a futuristic inventor.

Using nature, and all the things that support nature, be them organic or invented, is the future of medicine.

Do you know what happens when you put 3 hours a day into your skill outside of your work hours?

Most people don't.
We're not patient enough and we think everything needs to payout immediately.

What happened to me:

1. I survived a near fatal disease
2. I learned from some of the best practitioners
3. I got to see great people work in person, not just watch a film
4. I helped 1,000s of people every year for decades

That's not even my goal.

That's just a short list of what could happen for you if you decide to give yourself 3 hours a day!

My father was a chemical engineer, my mother was a school teacher. Both of them believed 100% in Western medicine.

I was the renegade artist who rebelled his whole life, and fell into traditional Eastern medicine when I became too sick for Western medicine.

I'm almost 50 years old, take no prescription medications, don't wear glasses, never had a cavity, don't have high blood pressure, don't have diabetes, have very little body pain, and do high intensity physical labor with strong diagnostic calculations all day.

I also teach what I know at 5% of what universities charge because the knowledge can be applied outside of conventional tools of the trade .

I'm only sharing this post to say that I was a complete screw up who survived a living hell, and came back in my own way to help the greater humanity .

No matter how screwed up people may think you are, you have a value in service. Find your way, don't copy your parents, don't copy your peers, and definitely don't copy people on social media .

My latest health hack:

I wanted to take a few moments to share how much I think this hack is going to change people's lives.

First of all, let me say that this can't be considered medical advice and ask your doctor before you do anything including blink or across the road.

I had a patient with POTS or positional tachycardia syndrome, where her heart races when she does certain movements, even in sleep. Her life has been hell, and she has suffered because there's no real treatment outside of relax and don't move.

After a week of using my hack, this lady no longer experiences tachycardia. Her condition is effectively asymptomatic. It's like a gift from heaven!

How did I come to this hack?

An older lady teacher I have from China used to do Moxibustion for 30 minutes on each one of her patients. She had a track record for reversing diseases that regular acupuncture and Western medicine could not. She said the single reason why people who use Moxibustion don't get the results she gets is simply the amount of time she spends.

Another classic of traditional Eastern medicine says something to the effect of people over the age of 40 can use Moxibustion several times a day. In fact, it recommends using Moxibustion five times a day for people over 50.

What is Moxibustion? It's the burning of herbs, specifically mugwort over acupuncture points and channels. It has a warming effect, as well as an aromatic and possibly other therapeutic effects from the oils and scent.

The biggest problem with modern people doing Moxibustion is the inconvenience.

Moxa must be burnt, and produces smoke, even the smokeless kind produces ash and requires attention to not burn the skin.

Even very successful people with Moxibustion admit that it is hard to do because it monopolizes most of the attention.

It isn't just heat therapy, it's isolated heat therapy which provides a hot cold contrast for the rest of the body. That contrast fits perfectly with yin yang theory, allowing the warmer parts of the body to produce movement, without over exciting or causing a detoxification reaction.

Going into infrared saunas, or doing some kind of hot bath is not the same, as it doesn't provide contrast. Overheating the body, or overcooling the body can mess up the internal thermostat which could damage the kidney according to Eastern medicine theory.

My latest hack gives the benefits of Moxibustion without the herbs, without spending more than $40 up front, and doesn't require that much attention as there is an extremely low risk of injury, no burning and no need to keep buying moxa.

I look forward to sharing it with you, and I hope that this message is not lost .

I have literally transformed my own pain levels, digestion and fatigue in a short time.

The video should upload later this week. Thanks for reading!

Meridian Musings:

I can proudly say that I've been a student/practitioner of Eastern Medicine/QiGong/Traditional Arts and Philosophy for 1/2 my life (almost 25 years).

In that time, I've been corrected by people every day: Some of them are right, others are wrong.

Most people who know meridians talk about 12 Primary Meridians or 20 (including the Qijingbamai or 8 Extraordinary Vessels).

There are at least 71 meridians in Traditional Medicine (anatomy)

12 Cutaneous (skin) Meridians
12 Tendomuscular (Sinew) Meridians
12 Divergent Meridians
12 Primary Meridians
15 Collateral Meridians
8 Extraordinary Vessels

This doesn't include the "MIcro-Meridians" of Korean Hand Therapy (12 primary, plus Ren/Du)

71 Meridians can also be impressed on any microsystem:
Ear
Scalp
Face
Abdomen
Hand
Foot
Spine

Also, each meridian contains Tian, Ren and Di (Heaven, human and earth): Shallow, medial and deep...

Within each one of those depths, there are the same Tian, Ren and Di....

Which means: If there are 365 points on each side (730 bilaterally), each point contains 9 levels.

What I'm saying is, there are likely 1,000s of points and vessels within our bodies.

That isn't my theory, that is Neijing.

What does this mean for a modern practitioner?

1. We look at the channels like a network, not like single digits.
2. Any combination of points can be turned upside down, left and right, and still work.
3. Understanding levels is just as important as learning channels.

When people give you formulas for disease, or for treating patterns/presentations, they are just one approach.

I can treat one client every day for decades, and never do the same thing in clinic.

I did my clinical GongFu daily to make my bodywork outstanding YEARS before I had technology.

My no-needle acupuncture method uses technology to give practitioners the kind of results only great practitioners get.

I can make excellent therapists even better, instantly.
I can help give new therapists better results for their clients.

I can take a layperson and give them the tools/information to make them their own therapist.

My two hands can only serve so many in a day.
It's all about building more universally effective therapists, clinics and healthier people!

Alchemy in Eastern Arts:

A lot of us are taught (briefly) about Internal Alchemy (NeiDan), maybe the Neijingtu, a little bit about Sun Simiao or one of the ancestors of TCM in school...

We learn some history and terminology, and have some appreciation for the "transformation" process.

Rarely do we actually become Alchemists.

My situation required transformation.

I was taught acupuncture as an apprentice, in a clinical setting (2000-2008). My hours were not accepted by NCCAOM, and I had no interest in another 4 years of school or $$$ to pay for it.

I created my non-invasive acupuncture system as a way to get THE SAME results as needle acupuncture without needles.

This, to me is an alchemical process.

Pressing points isn't the same, and will never be.
Fa Gung or Reiki isn't the same and will never be.
A lot of ideas came and went over the last 16 years.

When I discovered my No-Needle system, it was after a decade of doing Tuina, Cupping, Guasha, BanFa, KumNe, Shiatsu, Toyohari, Teishin, Laser, PEMF and electroacupuncture.

The process is about transforming a rough process down to the most valuable and effective.

We have that now!

Alchemical No-Needle, highly effective Non-Invasive Acupuncture is a contribution to the health of the world!

Classes are coming, an online program is available now, and there's so much to share to those willing to try something new!

Happy Father's Day!!!

It's not magic, it's medicine.

Hard to Explain:

When I was studying Eastern Medicine decades ago, my teacher insisted on three practices:

1. Practice
2. Contemplation
3. Meditation

They are all different kinds of "Gong" or action, skill, work.

I understood PRACTICE as a tool for being good in clinic. To miss a day of practice meant taking more time in clinic to get back to your natural rhythm and pace.

I understood CONTEMPLATION as problem solving, questioning, and trying to consider people's thoughts, ideas and emotions (mine also).

What I didn't understand was MEDITATION, but I still attempted to do it.

The practice of allowing my mind to "speak" without reacting, being there but not taking thoughts as commands, or following them is part of this idea.

What happens as a result of practice, contemplation and meditation for a clinician/physician?

How I understand it as of this post:

When a patient comes for help, we see them as a thinking, feeling, whole person instead of just a "case".

When a person's condition is hard to handle, the answers come from experience, critical thinking...

AND sometimes the answers come without any mental or physical work.

Sometimes they come in dreams, or "empty moments" between things.

If you learn medicine purely as an intellectual (mental) and physical practice, you may be missing the "subconscious" help that MEDITATION can give.

If you want to learn more about how I teach Eastern Medicine without using acupuncture needles, please message me.

This was back when I first discovered how opposite reciprocals work in movement

It was also the end of all my bilateral training

New easy Qigong exercises for your heart! Yadi's teacher from Bangalore India taught him an "important heart exercise" that he wanted Yadi to share with friends and family.He said it is vital, and co...

The Three Treasures (sanbao) from a medical point of view:

Jing = Pre Heaven is similar to heredity or "ancestral". That's our DNA/RNA in a way.
Post Heaven is what we get from eating and drinking.

Qi (very difficult to define) is "vital substance", which could mean blood, hormones, CSF, saliva in a physical sense...but can also mean the overall function or action of a body system.

Shen = (in my opinion) "Consciousness". This can't easily be defined either. Shen could be the "vibe" a person has, their level of "spirit" or "inspiration", or could literally mean consciousness as in mental coherence.

Other explanations from philosophy, QiGong/NeiGong and literature may disagree or differ.

If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.

Zig Ziglar

We don't "conquer our ego", that's even more egoic.
We realize what ego is: Our own invention.

We made up the whole thing based on other people, other people's ideas, social norms, and relationships.

If you "conquer" something you made, it's like building a sandcastle and stomping on it.

The ocean would've washed away the sandcastle in hours.

You don't have to conquer something that only you believe in.

Who you are isn't defined by our small intellect.

Maybe that helps.

Thanks for reading!

Hurting others is easy. To help them and care for them takes humility and patience. Those aren't so easy to come by.

NEW in clinic: Multi-pronged approach to recovery after long-term infection(s).

Work + Time = GongFu

I want to replace "fake it till you make it" with "feel it till you heal it".

Everything I do to help people recover from disease came from learning how to recover from mine.

The basis for Charlotte Acubodywork (www.charlotteacubodywork.com) was to give the kind of individualized care I needed when it didn't exist.

Ask the City of Charlotte, and the people who've been in to visit if they felt heard and got the help they needed.

"If I don't produce results, it doesn't matter who trained me".

Master Yen

It's not that we need permission to have feelings, we just feel what we feel.
We need to know that repression isn't exclusive.
Other people feel suppressed and ignored too.
Take time for your own heart, even if no one else will.
Be present for you, even if it's only a few moments a day.

When it comes to human health, I do what fits the situation:

Eastern or Western: Chinese, Tibetan, Korean, Persian, Greek, Native American

When it comes to body movement, I combine what teachers taught, what I learned in Med School and what I've experienced in 24 years.

The style doesn't matter.
The real value is in getting over disease and living a healthier life.

I've seen an increase in heart disease, autoimmune disease, pain, and diabetes in the last 4 years and just shot a video about why I think it's happening. Stay tuned
