The Year in Review

By
I just watched a slide show on Medscape (medical website) :

The Year in Medicine 2010: Slideshow

that reviewed the 25 greatest medical highlights from 2010. I was really disappointed by the lack of true medical advancement we seemed to have made in the past year. I thought this was a golden age for medicine and new discoveries. It is interesting that I think medicine advanced a lot this year because of my personal experience with the new MS procedure-- the Liberation Procedure. The standard medical world does not even acknowledge this new procedure which gave me my body and life back. No mention in any standard medical journals. The Medscape survey included the new MS drug Fingolimod. They proclaimed this was a giant step forward because it is the first oral drug for MS (as opposed to injectable). It is not that it works better; it is just easier to take. Not very earth-shattering in my opinion.

It is interesting and a little disturbing how far I have drifted in my perceptions of health and healing as compared to the standard medical world. I still read and enjoy the standard medical journals but I am so much more invigorated by the beliefs and perceptions of non-standard healers. I believe I was part of an incredible medical breakthrough and the journals I value do not even mention it. I like thinking about and helping people with other tools besides just medicines. There is SOOO much else out there to help people! I guess I should quit hoping the standard medical world will change and just be happy I am no longer part of it.

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
