24.01.2022 The Dalai Lama says: "Through constant familiarity, we can definitely establish new behavior patterns, using our tendency to form habits to our advantage. If we make a steady effort, I think we can overcome any form of negative conditioning and make positive changes in our lives. But we need to remember that genuine change doesn't happen overnight."

19.01.2022 "A true person inhales and exhales through the heel, an ordinary person does so through the throat..." - Kiiko Matsumoto, quoting Master Hakuyu, who in turn was quoting Zhuang Zi (399-275 BC)

18.01.2022 When i came to Sydney to study acupuncture, i set up clinic in the house of a Buddhist friend, and while preparing to paint the walls, i needed to move a book shelf, and behind the shelf i found this single page, fallen from a copy of 'The Book of Changes', that had been owned by the previous tenant... the rest of the book was long gone, but this single page was all i needed: it pretty much sums up my purpose in becoming a Practitioner of Traditional East Asian Medicine...

15.01.2022 The Dalai Lama advises: "Adopting a wider perspective includes working cooperatively with others. Crises that are global by nature, such as problems related to climate change... call for coordinated and concerted efforts among many people, with a sense of responsibility and commitment - this is more encompassing than any individual or personal issue." Thinking of all in Far North Queensland....

15.01.2022 This book is one of the most cost-effective clinical tools I have found for helping people make sustainable lifestyle changes - people take a copy home, and the next week they come back having made all sorts of positive changes in easy, reliable ways. Big tick, Jost Sauer, your writing transforms lives!

15.01.2022 awww... good news story of my week: patient came in today and told me he's 'feeling good as new' after 2 months on acupuncture and herbs. He'd been treated in hospital for prostate cancer - and while he no longer has cancer, he'd been left with no bladder control and was reliant on diapers - a pretty hard call for a 60 year old burly bloke. But today he tells me he has 'regained control of the water-works' and is able to enjoy life with his wife again. Love my job! :)

10.01.2022 Tongue Diagnosis Tongue diagnosis has been an actual diagnostic tool for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Many people in their middle ages and senior ...years actually can remember going to the doctor and the first thing they asked you was to stick out your tongue. Chinese medicine also uses the principles of Yin and Yang, two of the body's forms of life energies. Keeping these two in balance is also part of the daily therapeutic principles. Everyone's life energies ebb and flow back and forth depending on the multitudes of forces which we are bombarded with on a continuous basis. Your diet, exercise, stress levels, work environment, your physical health and even the choices you make each day during the daily circumstances all vary the balance of emotions, health and well-being on a minute by minute basis. Keeping a good balance therefore through your daily environment yields proper health. How To Utilize Tongue Diagnosis No two tongues in this whole world are exactly alike. Your own changes daily also as circumstances arise which dictates a change in your body's perceptions. The size, shape, color, moisture level and the texture will show a continuous change as different events unfold in your life each day. A perfect tongue is smooth in texture, it fits comfortably in your mouth between your teeth. It is not too thick or too thin, should have a pretty pink color with a thin white transparent coating. This description means you are in perfect health. All variations from this means you are having some kind of reaction. Reading and understanding these signs is the art of tongue diagnosis. Follow the chart below to see some of the common characteristics of a tongue in varying degrees of poor health. Most of these can be deciphered right from your own home. 1. -Tongue Appearance-: Too thick with scalloped edges -Accompanying Symptoms-: Lethargy, feeling of heaviness in limbs, lack of motivation -What It Means-: flow of fluids in body off-balanced -What You Can Do-: Cut down on dairy products and sugar.Eat more of the following: beef and chicken(proteins),fruits such as coconut, figs grapes, cherries and dates vegetables such as shitake mushrooms, potatoes, squash and sweet potatoes lentils and rice for grains the herb ginseng 2. -Tongue Appearance-: Tongue appears too wet -Accompanying Symptoms-: excessive perspiration and phlegm -What It Means-: inbalance of fluids such as too much phlegm or water in the body -What You Can Do-: Eat more foods which will help you dry the excess fluids: barley and rye for grains proteins such as aduki beans, kidney beans, mackerel and sardines vegetables include corn, mushrooms, celery, onions, turnips, pumpkin, lettuce, radishes, watercress and seaweed lemons and plums for fruits herbs to include pepper, garlic and horseradish 3. -Tongue Appearance-: Tongue is too thin and very dry -Accompanying Symptoms-: insomnia, dry skin, constipation and stress -What It Means-: dehydrated, body feels over-taxed -What You Can Do-: Reduce caffeinated products, get more rest.

08.01.2022 The Dalai Lama's thought of the day: "In spiritual growth, it is important to avoid imbalances between academic or intellectual learning and practical implementation. Otherwise there is a danger that too much intellectualization will kill the more contemplative practices and too much emphasis on practical implementation without study will kill the understanding. There has got to be a balance."

None of them would exist but for the kindness of so many people unknown to us." -the Dalai Lama
