Some say that my teaching is nonsense.
Others call it lofty but impractical.
But to those who have looked inside themselves,
this nonsense makes perfect sense.
And to those who put it into practice,
this loftiness has roots that go deep.
I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts,
you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.
Lao-Tzu
Here at Inner Strength, we teach according to these principles in our Private Coaching, Healing, as well as our certifications in Medical QiGong and Chinese Health Professional.
I would love to see suggestions of topics for this site!

I work in healthcare. I am over a wing of people on life-support. How can I incorporate this quietly?

Healthcare is changing faster than ever before. The concept of compassion and the feeling of compassion or its energy that can be felt from one human being to another can never be disputed. The challenge is finding a medium of which to endorse compassion that is acceptable to modern healthcare, which at times has become sterile due to liability practices and time constraints.
Medical QiGong is taught by Inner Strength in the tradition of all of the ancient Chinese healers before us, (Zhong Yi in Chinese), is perhaps a way to bridge that gap. By embodying the concepts of mindfulness and Medical QiGong fusing with Shen, wondrous things can happen to patients. Many of these techniques can be performed in a silent manner and some without touch. Comfort of mind and body are the distinction of these practices all leading to grace and repose. Our Medical QiGong program teaches healers (a person who chooses to reconcile imbalance in a clients physical, emotional and spiritual existence) how to teach tranquility and centeredness first to themselves. This attribute then radiates outwards and is perceived by the patient offering assuredness which leads to a distress-free state. A distress-free state is optimal for any true healing.

I was doing research on Sumiao Sun's ghost points and came across your site. I really liked what you said in your article on mental illness. I am a 3rd year acupuncture student (at 5 Branches in Santa Cruz) and interested in Medical Qigong as well. My mother-in-law has late stage cancer and has said she is ready to 'make her transition' We just had a beautiful blessing ceremony with the whole family and all want to support her in her wishes. For the last 2 months she has been getting acupuncture almost daily and her acupucturist said she recently has been doing ghost points to help her with her wishes. Ths peaked my curiousity as to whether they were also used to help a person pass on with ease and clarity. From my online research i didn't see any specific usage, more for mental illness. But, it is a transition process where she is in multiple realities, which i se as a normal progression and not 'mental illness'. I won't be giving her any treatments with needles but i think of doing medical qigong, acupuressure and reiki with her. Any advice and information about helpful qi gong's/pts, etc. I thought about the 1-10 meditation and creating that clear golden/white column of energy to help her transition when she is ready.
