Everyday I Hear The Same Complaints From The Same People About How Tired They Are, How Stressed They Are Etc. With No Solution In Sight! The Key Is To Correct The Situation Versus Standing Idle And Accepting It. Forget About The Energy Drinks Or Pills. Learn To Increase Your Energy Naturally, And Have A Healthy Steady Supply To Get You Through Each Day. By Adjusting Your Personal Eating, Sleeping And Exercise Habits, You Can Boost Your Energy The Natural Way And Settle Into A Self-sustaining Rhythm. * Essential Water – Keep Your Body Hydrated Throughout The Day. The First Sign Of Dehydration Is Fatigue. Your Body Can’t Function At Capacity Without That Good Old H2o. A Steady Supply Of Water Will Naturally Keep Things Flowing–including Your Energy. * Improve Sleeping Habits – Often A Small Adjustment Of Your Sleeping Habits Can Already Do Wonders For Your Energy Levels. . Lying In Bed Is Not Sleeping: Don’t Go To Bed If Your Not Sleepy And End Up Lying In Bed Pondering And Stressing. If You Are Drifting Off At The Computer, While Reading, Or Watching Tv, It’s Time To Get To Bed. Your Bedtime Should And Will Vary From Night To Night. Let Your Body Tell You When To Sleep As Opposed To The Following The 8-hour Rule. . Rise And Shine: Put An Alarm And Get Up At The Same Time Everyday. Sleepy At Noon?: Try A Powernap Of 20 Minutes In A Quiet Place. Experiment And Find Out What Your Optimal Sleep Levels Are. * Yoga, Exercising & Stretching – It Sounds Counter-intuitive, Perhaps, But By Expending Energy On A Regular Basis, You Will Actually Give Yourself More Of It In The End. The Key Is To Set Up A Fairly Regular Schedule–about Three Times A Week–and Push To The Point That You Feel Refreshed, Not Exhausted. Don’t Overdo It. It May Take A Couple Of Weeks To Get Into The Natural Rhythm, So Have Patience And Higher Energy Levels Will Follow. * Deep Breathing Exercise – Another Great Way To Re-energize Your Body Is With A Quick Deep Breathing Exercise. Sit On A Chair With A Straight Back And Breathe Deeply While You Focus On Your Breath Going In – Going Out. At The Same Time Use A Powerful Affirmation To Invigorate Your Mind And Body. * Eliminate Energy-sappers From Your Diet – Have More Alkaline-forming Foods Like Fruits And Vegetables. Avoid Excess Sugar And Coffee As They Lead To Lower Blood Sugar Levels–and Less Energy–after They Give You An Initial Kick. Also One Could Pack Some Almonds And Nuts For A Quick And Convenient Protein Snack.

As A Counsellor, I Am Fortunate (?) To Experience A Varied Gamut Of Human Relationships Through The Cases That Come To Me For Therapy.one Such Case Was That Of A Young Adolescent Boy, Who Was Referred To Me For Academics, As Well As Behavioural Issues. On Meeting The Boy, He Seemed Compliant Enough For The Questions And Answered Them Willingly, But I Could Sense Intense Rage Within Him. On Probing, I Found That His Primary Anger Was Directed Against His Mother. Reason? She Insults Him In Front Of His Uncle And The Servant! The Mother Looked Surprised That This Was A Topic Of Dissent With The Boy. Her Logic Was That If He Is Scolded In Front Of Someone Else, Then He Would Learn To Behave Better. When I Asked Her What Her Expectations Were She Had Only One Thing To Say: I Want Him To Respect Elders.i Found Her Need To Be Very Amusing… Considering She Was Using Humiliation As A Tool To Discipline Her Son.everybody Has This Need In Them To Be Respected, Whether Young Or Old. How Could The Mother Expect The Child To Develop A Sense Of Respect And Reverence, When Everytime She Would Deride And Belittle Him Not Only In The Privacy Of Their Home But Also In Public? It Is, According To Me, The Lowest Form Of Disciplining Tactics, Which Would Have The Person At The Receiving End Seething Inside With Humiliation. I Remember, When I Was Working In A Publication Firm, We Would Have This Monthly Meetings, Which Were Called “hall Of Shame”. The Names Of All Those Editors Who Had Not Met Their Targets Would Be Written On The Board, And They Would Be Asked For Detailed Feedbacks And Explanations. This Could Also Be Done In The Cabins Of The Senior Professionals, But I Think They All Got A Perverse Pleasure, Seeing Them Squirm In Front Of An Audience. What Irreparable Damage Was Being Done To The Psyche Of The Person, I Dread To Think. A Personal Memo Calling The Person Filthy Names Is So Much Better Than This Public Flogging. Coming Back To The Case, When I Started Handling The Issues With The Mother, I Could Understand Where She Was Coming From. She Was A Perfectionist, And Theirs Was The Most Passive Marriage I Have Ever Seen! When Asked If She Expected Others To Respect Her As A Person And Her Opinions, She Wanted To Know What I Was Talking About! For The Husband, She Was Just A Wife; One Who Took Care Of His Physical And Biological Needs. He Could Not Describe The Person That She Was: Her Identity Was That She Was His Wife. She Was Labelled A Bad Mother Because Her Son Did Not Behave ‘properly’. So To Get Social Approval She Was Being Punitive With The Son. Her Life Revolved On Social Approvals. She Could No Longer Establish Her Own Identity, And Establishing The Importance Of Being Herself Became The Focus Of Counselling. She Was Gradually Able To Understand That You Do Not Demand Respect; You Command It. And You Can Only Teach How To Respect If You Practise It. The Point Took A While To Sink In; But When She Was Able To Withdraw From The Controlling Relationship, And Also Refused To Take Responsibility For Her Son’s Misbehaviour, And Refuse To Accept The Label Of Being A ‘bad Mother’ Simply Because He Misbehaved, Things Started Turning Around. When People Around Realised That She Was Not Accepting The Blame For His Behaviour, They Started Handling The Boy Differently; And He Too, In Subsequent Sessions Was Able To Understand The Scenario. Sessions Are Still On; The Husband Continues To Be Passive, Though He Is Beginning To Think There Is More To A Marriage Than Just Staying Together, And Is Slowly Willing To Enrich The Relationship.it Is Not ‘all Is Well’ As Yet…. But I Hope It Would Be.mohana Narayanan

Our Bio-energy Is The Source Of Our Health And Vitality. In Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Is Defined As A Harmonic Flow Of ‘chi’ Or ‘qi’ Dynamically Regulating All Biological Functions. From The Chinese Perspective Not Only The Human Organism But The Whole World And The Entire Cosmos Are Interwoven With The Subtle Vibrations Of This Life Force. This Energy Flows Within, Without And Through Us Governing Our Organs And Tissues And Connecting Us With Our Environment (natural And Man-made), Mother Earth As Well As The Universe. Everything In The Universe, Organic And Inorganic, Is Composed Of This ‘chi’ Or ‘qi’. As Biological Energy It Is Driving, Nourishing And Regulating All Living Matter. Based On Their Different Origins, The Chinese Tradition Basically Knows Two Types Of Energy – Inherited And Acquired Qi. • The Inherited Qi, Also Called ‘prenatal Qi’ Or ‘original Qi’, Is Received From The Parents At Conception. It Is Stored In The Kidneys And Partly Responsible For An Individual’s Constitution. • The Acquired Qi – ‘breath Qi’ And ‘nutrition Qi’ – Is Extracted In The Lungs From The Air We Breathe And Created In Stomach And Spleen From The Food We Eat. Original Qi, Breath Qi And Nutrition Qi Together Form The True Qi – The Equivalent Of What In Modern Terms Is Called Bio-energy. In Our Organism, This ‘true Qi’ Is In Constant Motion, Ascending And Descending Throughout The Complex Network Of Meridians, Entering And Leaving Through Its Windows Or Acupuncture Points – And – As Long As All These Activities Are In Accordance With The Natural Biorhythms Within And Without, Then Our Bodies Are Flushed With Soundness And Wellness. An Abundance Of ‘true Qi’ Or Life Force Is Thus The Sine Qua Non For Good Health And Vitality. Therefore In The World’s Oldest Medical Manual, The 2.500 Years Old Yellow Emperor’s Classic Of Internal Medicine Or “huang Di Nei Jing” It Is Said: “a Person With Strong ‘qi’, Will Not Be Brought Down By Illness.” In Its Nature, ‘true Qi’ Is Like Water – Soft Yet Strong, Circulating Freely And Balanced Through A Complex Network Of Rivers, Streams And Brooks Interlacing The Organism. True Qi Is Vitalizing Our Bodies Similar To Water Irrigating The Fields And Fertilizing The Soil. It Is The Source Of Human Health And Vitality, The Source Of Movement And Transformation, Protecting And Warming Our Bodies, Governing The Function Of Our Organs And Maintaining The Physical Integrity, Metabolic Function And Supply Systems Of Our Organism. In A Healthy Person With Abundance Of This Vibrant Bio-energy Available And Living In Harmony With Her- Or Himself, Others And The Environment, It Circulates Freely. A Disturbance Of This Cyclical Flow Of Energy Results In Disharmony Leading To Sickness And Disease. Each Disturbance Expresses Itself In Various Forms Of Illness. Any Part Or Organ In Our Body With Deficient Energy Supply Cannot Function Properly. Also As People Get Older, All Functions Of The Organism, Including The Metabolism, Slow Down. Less Energy Is Produced And Available To Protect The Body Against Disease And Repair Damage And Injury. If ‘qi’ Is Missing Or Its Flow Blocked, Humans Become Increasingly Prone To Illness. It Is Thus Extraordinarily Important That Sufficient Qi Is Present In The Body, And That Its Flow Is Unhindered. Then Humans Are Healthy. Health Is Soundness And Wellness, Is Equivalent To Free Vibration And Free Flow Of Energy – Panta Rhei – Everything Flows. Panta Rhei – Energy For True Prevention From Its Earliest Beginnings Traditional Chinese Medicine (tcm) Recognized, That Every Organism Is A Continuously Self-regulating And Self-optimizing “functional System” Which Responds To A Multitude Of External And Internal Influences. As Said, The Organism Requires Large Amount Of Free Flowing Energy To Do So – And Only An Energy Rich Organism Is Capable To Defend Itself Against Such Influences, Repair And Correct Any Damage And Rebalance Energy & Function. Pathological Developments Can Take Place At Any Time And At Any Place Within Such Complex Systems As The Human Organism. Only In Case Of Disease Do Humans Usually Become Aware Of The Energy Required For Recuperation. Since Ancient Times, Traditional Chinese Medicine Always Put The Emphasis On Prevention Of Illness And Maintenance Of Health Rather Than Treatment Of Disease. In The World’s Oldest Medical Manual, The 2.500 Years Old Yellow Emperor’s Classic Of Internal Medicine Or “huang Di Nei Jing” It States: “if One Takes Medicine Only After One Has Fallen Ill, If One Endeavors To Restore Order After Unrest Has Broken Out, That Is, As If One Would Wait With Digging A Well Until One Is Weakened From Thirst.” Based On This Philosophy, Physicians In Ancient China Were Paid, If Their Patients Were Feeling Well And Healthy. The Focus Was On The Wellness Of The Patient Rather Than On Treatment Of Illness. And The Principle Of This True Prevention Was Based On Free Vibration And Free Flow Of Energy, On – Panta Rhei – Everything Flows. Just As The Nobel Price Laureate Albert Szent-györgyi (1960) Said: “in Every Culture And In Every Medical Tradition Before Ours, Healing Was Accomplished By Moving Energy.” In Primary Prevention Lies The Greatest Potential Of Energy Medicine – Preventing ‘many Patients’ From Traveling The Long Path Of Trial And Tribulation Into Degenerative Disease, Guiding Them Back To Radiant Health And Vitality Instead. Consequently The Essence Of Primary Prevention Consists Of Timely Intervention When Disorders Border Between Health And Disease. At This Stage Of Un-wellness, The Possibilities Of Prevention And Total Recuperation Of The Individual Are Very High. This Is The Aim Of Meridian Diagnostic And Therapeutic Concepts In Energy Medicine. As The Majority Of Patients Fall Into This Category, Which Our Present Health Care Delivery System Cannot Address, The Implementation Of A Prevention-orientated Energy Medicine Offers A Huge Potential To Dramatically Improve Public Health. Energy Medicine Already Enables Us To Diagnose And Analyze Disruptions In The Energy Status And Flow And Understand Some Of Their Underlying Biophysical Dynamics. Further Research Will Heighten Our Awareness And Deepen Our Comprehension How Bio-energy Can Actually Transform Matter And Create An Entirely New Body Structure. From Here The True Therapeutic Potential Of Energy Medicine Will Unfold, Allowing To: • Dissolve Energy Stagnations & Open Energy Blockages • Activate The Body’s Own Vibrational Capacity • Harmonize The Energy Flow • Recharge The Body’s Energy Reserves. With Energy Medicine There Is A Revolution Taking Form, Redefining How The Future Modern Scientific Medicine Is Going To View Health And Disease. Energy Medicine Marks The Beginning Of An Exciting Era Opening Our Hearts And Minds To A New Paradigm Where Mysterious Ancient Healing Traditions Meld With Vanguard Medical Research And Health Science To – As The Nobel Prize Winner Albert Szent-györgyi (1960) Said – Once More ‘accomplish Healing By Moving Energy’. Healing Balances Energy: We All Have Storage Centers In Our Bodies That Store Energy And Energetic Patterns. They Are Called Chakras. We Can Have Energetic Patterns Stored From Events That Happened Yesterday As Well As From Many Years Back In The Past. Some Of These Patterns Will Be Happy Memories And Some Of Them Will Be Unpleasant And Painful Memories Of Something That Happened To Us. Sometimes We Stash Them Away Deep Into Some Recess In Our Chakras And In Our Emotional Body (the Energy Field Around Us, Our Second Energy Body), And Try To Forget About Them, But They Don’t Really Go Away. Dis-ease Is A Manifestation Of Unbalanced And Stagnant Energetic Blockages. Healing, Then Is A Way Of Balancing And Increasing The Energy Flow And Open (delete) Energetic Blockages. This Can Happen Completely Naturally As Soon We Stimulate The Meridian System To It’s Normal Way. Almost All Chronic Or Therapy Resistant Diseases Have Blocked Or Disturbed Meridian Energy Flow. It Leads To Permanent Energy Leakage In The Corresponding Organs And Consequently To Malfunction. “when A Bug Is In The Software The Hardware Doesn’t Work Proper But Its Not Death. Is The Bug Fixed (overwritten), The Hardware Is Functioning Normal Again.“ Same In Our Body And The Meridian System. Is The Energy Flow Re-established The Organ Is Functioning Proper. Even Long Term Diseases Can Go Back To Normal When The Energy Is Increased Over A Certain Period Of Time. The Maintenance Of The Meridian System Is One Of The Most Important Tasks To Keep Health / Vitality And Avoid Disease. Http://new-planet.net/wp/perth-therapy-2/
