I experienced Cynthia’s monster breakfast sandwich with the assistance of my sub-conscious mind: I saw, smelled, held, heard (yup – it spoke to me!) and ate the damned thing. And it was good.
The following I experienced with additional assistance from my conscious or thinking mind. I figured as long as I’m sharing one……..
Part of the requirements for the initial 100-hour Medical Qigong teacher certification are listening to Master Michael Leone’s lectures.
I posted something about Master Leone after meeting him last year. He’s a truly awesome human being. He’s tapped into something “other worldly” that I can only dream about experiencing.
Master Leone has been studying and practicing with a devotion that dwarfs mine – for some forty years – and it shows!
Reality check: part of today’s lecture made it all-too clear that I’m in the Fall of my life! Gulp.
This happened during this morning’s lecture:
A student asked Master Leone about the Medical QiGong protocol for a 22 year-old female exhibiting:
Anxiety
Depression
Autoimmune diseases including:
- Celiac disease
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
- Allergies
- Psoriasis
- Fatty liver disease
I didn’t get to hear the detailed diagnosis/prescription part of the lecture because I’m a newbie, but I did learn that ALL those symptoms have a common cause:
Chronic Stress
Master Leone expressed what we all know intuitively: somewhere around our 18th birthday we wake up to the stark reality or weight of life: it’s responsibilities and impermanence.
And we each deal with that realization in a uniquely personal way based on the circumstances of our lives up to that point.
Those symptoms can literally become overwhelming as the mental and physical effects compound – and in today’s turbulent geopolitical, semi-virtual world, it’s getting worse – quickly.
Reach out and help someone. We’re all in this soup together.
We have the same incessant thinking pattern; we all have fears and desires, they just differ from person to person based on the unique circumstances of our lives.
Life is mathematical: half of us learn to cope with it better than the other half, and there are extremes at both ends – clearly.
Need help meditating? That’s why I’m here.
God bless, Skip
