The World

I was just reading on the internet about CCSVI in other countries: Australia, England, Bulgaria, Poland, Italy. There is a lot happening. The US is way behind. It is very fun to read about the paradigm shift; the opening. It is very real and all around us.

For me as a doctor, I am excited to see a new perspective. I like research and believe in evidence-based medicine. I also have seen the management and approach to many major major illnesses be transformed and re-organized. The management of coronary artery disease(CAD) has changed drastically during my 20 years in medicine. As a result, people live longer and better. Cancer has become a chronic disease in most cases. Only 20 years ago, people suffered much more and lived much shorter. These have not been small changes in treatment but radical revolutions in the way we saw the disease as scientists and the way we approached the diseases as clinicians. Medical science is the backbone of clinical care. Only eighty years ago, there were no antibiotics. Medical advances have occurred in every field. As an internist, my world seemed to change less and slower than the specialty fields as we were more involved in chronic care and geriatrics. Cures and healings only happened to my patients when they were in the hospital or in the more acute settings.

My own personal healing has been different than my experience as a doctor. The Liberation Procedure was very different than the services I provide. I can only relate it to giving a cortisone shot to someone who has been hurting for a month. It provides relief and it does it fast!! There is excitement and fervor. There is a "post-illness" euphoria and re-appreciation of the world and its magic. You can see it in someone's eyes when they first move their arm and realize, the pain is gone. I am experiencing relief on this level. My eyes feel like they are open wide.

Connecting to the World

This is a picture from the Eucalyptus Grove At UCSD -- my dogs' favorite walk. Upon our return from our adventure, I read this from Buddhist psychologist, Rick Hanson. I really resonate with this aspect of connection. Connecting is in 3 directions -- inside with oneself, with others and with the world. When we strengthen one direction, we simultaneously strengthen our general connection. This is guidance to connect more deeply with the world. What makes you feel connected? I'd like to know.   Are we really so separate? The Practice   Love the world. Why?   Your brain evolved in three stages (to simplify a complex process): Reptile - Brainstem, focused on AVOIDING harm Mammal - Limbic system, focused on APPROACHING rewards Primate - Cortex, focused on ATTACHING to "us" With a fun use (to me, at least) of animal themes, the first JOT in this series -  pet the lizard  - was about how to soothe the most ancient structures of the...

A Guest Post from Jenna Walters

Tai Chi for Health Tai Chi is a secret weapon in the battle against the physical and mental demands of life. It has been able to help improve health in individuals with illnesses ranging from peritoneal mesothelioma to migraines . Its quiet and slow movements bring a calm balance to the mind. It also brings strength and balance to the body. Tai Chi demands very little from its participants. The focus is on body awareness and deep breathing. Its stretching is soft and fluid and its movements are low-impact. Young, old, athletic, or the rehabilitating can all gain better health with Tai Chi. Studies have shown that Tai Chi improves physical health . Although the movements are slow and require no added weight, those that practice Tai Chi become stronger in both upper and lower body. There is also proof that flexibility and balance are improved. The fact that the gentleness of this exercise has such positive results makes it perfect for the unfit, the elderly and for those recovering f...

Becoming Aware

In doing the work that I am so happy to be doing at Pando Health Groups, I have become acutely aware of the painful, demeaning,  limiting and downright cruel thoughts that people carry around and repeatedly tell themselves. Amazingly successful, intelligent and gifted people continually return to a dark and very negative image of themselves that is not based on current reality or supported by their current performance, relationships or modern lives. However, the tape is still playing. Worse yet, the tape hurts them deep down and affects all that they care about, desire and create. It takes away energy. It zaps power and limits potential. It creates misery and suffering. It, too often, makes their lives stay "stuck in the groove on the record". This tape can be turned off (or destroyed) but for too many it keeps raising its head when circumstances replicate past wounds or when there is an ongoing, overpowering, loud voice that just keeps breaking into one's hea...
