One Complete Year
It has been already a complete year since I started my
acupuncture business at the current address. It went
fast. I thank you for all your support and appreciate
in connecting with me. Study for acupuncture never
ends. It is very deep and complicated. However, I
have learned a lot over the year. I am constantly
improving my skills and acquiring knowledge. Thank
you to all, and I look forward to another year of
association.
On Death And Dying
This year has started out with my father's death on
December 31st, 2006. It was his way of saying to
start a new year afresh. Within this year, I have
lost two of my patients and two good friends all to
cancer (my mother died of lung cancer and I feel the
deepest condolence to the surviving family members).
Never know when death hits. In my past newsletter, I
briefly mentioned about the wisdom within to bring the
homeostatic balance even in death: resolving the pain
of dying into the higher consciousness and accepting
the inevitable.
Regarding death, I do not think we can explain it
simply by the Yin and Yang relationship. Among sick
people, we might witness a so called Jue Yin Illness
(the terminal illness) where Yin and Yang separate and
the sick may feel the sensation of hot and cold at the
same time. He may raise his one arm in the air as if
he is reaching out to something. When this happens,
death is very near. However, death is more
complicated. Something happens in the process of
dying: it is no longer the balance of homeostasis or
the Yin and Yang separation. The ultimate moment is
mystery. I think it is a moment of the true Tai Chi,
the Oneness, with self and soul, with the universe and
the consciousness, and the jubilation of affirmation
and happiness. Life exists for billions of years. It
has prepared itself with the ultimate. It knows how
to die.
Diet Page Section Is Coming To My Website: Take A
Look
In my webpage, I will be adding a diet section. It is
very much based on Japanese foods. There will be many
sections such as diabetes, heart diseases, weight
reduction, reducing blood pressure and cholesterol,
etc. Please look forward to it.
Simple Things You Can Do For Your Health No. 10
Knead the area of the foot, between the second and
third metatarsal bones, approximately one third of the
distance between the base of the second toe and the
heel. It is where the depression is. This point is
called Gushing Spring (Kid-1). Since this point is
the beginning of the Kidney meridian, it is good for
any kidney ailment, which in turn indicated for
fatigue, weak leg, and insomnia. It is also a good
point to reduce blood pressure or plantar pain. Since
it is at the base of the foot, it is a good point to
make yourself grounded.
