Healing Happens

I have never quite verbalized my dream and my intention for my life. It is now finally becoming clear to me. As this blog has been a gateway to healing for me, I am going to design my dream on this blog. I am going to start today with a brief introduction.

Our world is in need of a parallel pathway to our current medical system. The new path will be the other half of the circle. The current model will continue to deliver excellent acute care with ever improving, innovative technology. The parallel tract will be community-based, universally available and accessible, free of charge, and providing for lifelong support. This parallel tract will NOT focus or separate by diagnoses. It will provide a general prescription for healthful living and empower participants through adoption of this health producing lifestyle. It allows each individual to design his or her own healing plan especially suited for them. It works in concert with the acute care system only adding to the base of safety provided by the medical realm. The new delivery model will be self-supporting and ever growing. There will be a 10 page manual which clarifies the simple and straightforward principles and programs. There will be 3 programs:

Senior Health

Healthy Heart

Return to Health

Each program will have an 8 week introductory class followed by lifelong weekly follow-up.

All three programs are based on the same values and precepts. These 8 core values are illustrated as follows (I envision these as the points outlining the number 8):

LOVE

NOURISHMENT

MOVEMENT

CONNECTION/COMMUNITY

HOPE/FAITH

GRATITUDE

PEACE

FORGIVENESS

These 8 points of focus will lead the voyager to health. Health is defined as: Living with energy, freedom, and authenticity.

The 3 programs all target full health and wellness with emphasis on mind, body and spirit. Health and healing require all 3 elements to be developed, nurtured and supported. It should be noted: Health can be attained regardless of diagnosis, age or life situation.

For the next 4 days, I will reveal these 8 core principles and their relationship to health and healing. Each "brick in the wall" can be accessed by any and all people and will light the path toward health. We all want to be well. We all want to be fully alive. Come with me on the ultimate adventure--finding and holding health.

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

Evolutionary Book

By
I am in the midst of reading a truly great and novel book. Written by Philip Shepherd, New Self, New World  is a deep analysis and different perspective on what is wrong with today's world and why so many of us struggle to find peace and happiness. The book shares with the Pando Method the concept of "coming out of the head and into the body" (the other brain) as a means to see with greater clarity and awareness. We at Pando Health Groups are using our approach of what we call "Center Point Rest" as a conscious process of descending from the thinking mind to the low abdomen. This form of meditation, while brief, gives the individual the opportunity to stop the continuous flow of thoughts and "drop down" into the body and then rest in this quieter, very different space. We find it to be a powerful way to connect with oneself and our true nature as opposed to the ongoing "bombarding thoughts". It truly does change one's state and opens up

Becoming Aware

By
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
