What Do People Want?




Our motto at Pando Health Groups is Connect/Empower/Heal. Do people want this? Do they know what connection is? What connection feels like? If they were connected, how would their life be better?

Do they know what it means to be empowered? Do they want to be empowered? If they were empowered, how would their life be different or better?

What is healing? For that matter, what is health? If we heal, will our experience be different? Can we heal even if we have a medical or physical challenge?

Our theory and backbone of our vision and mission is that emotional connection leads to being known, understood, and "gotten" and that from this place, people get out of their racing, scattered minds and into a stronger, calmer and more empowered place. We believe that achieving connection is a human, emotional longing. When one can live the majority of their life from this feeling space, they are transformed and new options become possible. Hiding who one is (one's authentic self) is no longer desirable or necessary. Freedom, health, vitality, a feeling of belonging and a lightness of being evolve when one becomes unshackled from negative thoughts and feelings that have spun around in an overactive mind for too long.

We live in a time and a world that values doing and thinking and exerting our will. With the miracles of technology, we can be busy and productive almost continually. That all can be good but we need to come from a base that is full -- not empty. We need to receive also.  Breathing and resting are receptive. "Filling one's tank"with natural beauty, warmth and self-compassion is receptive. Floating in water and listening to music and appreciating art are all receptive. The receptive is our friend and will make our active side more powerful and effective when it is also nurtured. By joining rather than taking it all on yourself, you open yourself to the energy and joy the world has to offer.

I am speaking of a different way of being in the world. A more balanced way. This is all incredibly possible but only requires a sustained desire to let ourselves "be" rather than only "do". It involves connecting from our hearts and not our heads and being open to leaving the conveyor belt of life and dwelling in a more restorative place for part of our lives.

This is the Pando Method. The Method is our answer to the imbalance that has taken over our world. It is simple, basic and low-tech. It seeks only to create a way to come from the center; from power; from a place of wholeness. What you do with your restored balance and energy supply is up to you. Enjoy it. It feels good.

This is our vision of how people regain power, health and happiness in this life. We all deserve it. Will you be good enough to yourself to let this in?  What stops you from giving this gift to yourself?

Maintaining Memory and Balance

Tomorrow, I am giving a talk to a group of local seniors on how to maintain memory and balance. I chose this topic 6 months ago and did not give it much thought at the time; just was thinking that these are the most pertinent challenges of aging. Now as I prepare for the talk, I realize the gravity and importance of this topic. Seniors fear falling and losing their cognition as much as any single thing with the possible exception of death itself. So what wisdom can I pass on; wisdom that will really matter. Pharmaceuticals are notoriously ineffective for both these issues. No supplement is even marginally helpful. Eating healthy may be helpful but certainly is not bullet-proof. No one really understands what causes Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or any of the other disease states that take away the mind and brain and the spirit of seniors. What then can we (me as a doctor, seniors and everyone who has an aging parent) do to help? First, we must look at the situation with clear ey

Evolutionary Book

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
