Cultivating Peace, Creativity and Freeflow in our Lives

Friday, June 18th, 2010

I spotted this quote from Susan Polis Schutz today. I guess its another one of those pieces, like “If” by Rudyard Kipling, that reminds us what life might be like if we set our minds to it.

“We need to feel more to understand others. We need to love more to be loved back. We need to cry more to cleanse ourselves. We need to laugh more to enjoy ourselves. We need to see more other than our own little fantasies. We need to hear more and listen to the needs of others. We need to give more and take less. We need to share more and own less. We need to look more and realize that we are not so different from one another. We need to create a world where all can peacefully live the life they choose.”

If we can train ourselves to live our lives in this way, we can be pretty sure that our Qi will flow as smoothly as it can do. And, as the ancient Chinese said, if the Qi flows freely, there is no disease. How we do that is up to each of us…but it starts with the decision!

Health and Holism

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

The concept of holism has already been applied to ecology and even business. So why is it yet to be applied seriously towards healthcare on a national level? There is a glimmer of hope that this is starting to happen with the NHS “Fit4Life” initiative (www.nhs.uk/change4life). However, it remains to be seen whether healthcare will turn a corner and start seeing symptoms as a communication between mind and body, unconscious and conscious, where a person’s spirituality is taken into consideration, where symptoms are not seen as inconvenient, uncontrollable, chance happenings. Disease can be viewed as part of the process of our personal growth. If it is seen in this light, I believe that the cost of healthcare in this country will tumble.
