Larry called me on the evening
of the Chinese New Year and told
me he was suffering big time and
couldn’t understand why.
He was brought up with loving parents,
went to good schools, always had a job,
a nice home and yet he suffered every
day from lack of ‘something.’
Like so many of us these days when the
world is in turmoil, we feel out of sorts
for no apparent reason. It’s not really
depression, sadness or melancholia.
It’s more like a feeling of emptiness or
maybe feeling some sort of limitations.
I explained to Larry that all of the
limitations we have are our own. We block ourselves from
being successful, healthy and happy and blame
others for our misfortune. That’s when he started to sob,
saying that others seemed to always block his success,
how he never really got a chance, how others beat him out
of jobs, money and opportunities. He was really suffering.
My Master told me long ago that pain is mandatory,
but suffering was optional. If you hit your thumb with a
hammer it is painful, but if you are still complaining about
it years later- that’s suffering.
Causes of human suffering from the
Buddhist perspectives are like immense traps
known as The Three Poisons.
They are Worry, Struggle and Blame.
1.We worry about what will happen, how we will
survive and will we have what we need?
2.We struggle and push others out of our way,
thinking that there will not be enough for us.
3.We blame others for our shortcomings; these are
all poisons that keep us trapped like rats in a cage.
These poisons are the source of our
unquenchable thirst and the root cause
of all of our harmful illusions, keeping
one stuck in painful existence.
It’s time that you free yourself from
sickness, mentally, physical emotionally
and spiritually.
You can transform worry, struggle and
blame into Aim, Contribution and Participation
in a heart beat!
This technology is thousands of years old.
When I first learned this meditation,
I practiced morning, noon and
night until I discovered the power of Subliminal
programming.
I Discovered A Way To
Take 365 Days Of Spiritual Practice
And Shrink It Into A Single Afternoon!
With Subliminal programming of the meditation,
I just let it play as background music while I
work, relax, sleep or play.
You’re not going to believe how GOOD these
CD’s will make you feel. It’s incredible!
The bulk of your “achievement power” is
in your subconscious mind!
The Subliminal Mantra CD utilizes a
powerful combination of these methods
which can reach your subconscious mind
at a great accelerated pace because it
completely bypasses all interference from
the conscious mind.
As you relax and listen to the energizing
Mantra, you will be gently guided through a
powerful transformational experience that will obliterate
The Three Poisons of “Greed,” “Hate” and “Ignorance,”
into a positive new you. These practices invoke love,
kindness, generosity, and selflessness.
“A young widower, who loved his five year old
son very much, was away on business when bandits
came and burned down the whole village and took his
son away. When the man returned, he saw the ruins and
panicked. He took the burnt corpse of an infant and cried
uncontrollably. He organized a cremation ceremony,
collected the ashes and put them in a beautiful little bag
that he always kept with him.
Soon afterwards, his real son escaped from the bandits
and found his way home. He arrived at his father’s new
cottage at midnight and knocked at the door.
The father, still grieving asked: “Who is it?”
The child answered, it is me Papa, open the door!”
But in his agitated state of mind, convinced his son
was dead, the father thought that some young boy was
making fun of him. He shouted: “Go away” and
continued to cry. After some time, the child left.
Father and son never saw each other again.
After this story, the Buddha said, “Sometime,
somewhere, you take something to be the truth.
If you cling to it so much, even when the truth comes
in person and knocks on your door, you will not open it.”
I gave a lecture last week to a group of people at the gym;
most of them work out 5 days a week and look good on the
outside, but are starting to get health problems like heartburn,
aches, diabetes and sexual dysfunctions.
I explained the longevity benefits of doing Qi Gong to
them, and how it would balance out their workout,
improve their sexual power health, and slow down the
aging process.
Arthur stood up and said,” I don’t get it? I workout
everyday at the gym, run 4 miles a day 5 days a week
and do 10 miles on the weekend, I eat well and I feel great!
What will Qi gong do for me– I am in great shape?”
Well Artthur, I did the same program for years
with my friend Gary. He was my workout partner
and never learned the internal arts of Qi Gong or
meditation. He said it was too slow for him and he
needs the adrenal rush of a heavy workout.
Gary wishes he had followed my example and
learned the softer style of Qi Gong years ago.
Although the physical workout of running and
weight training is good you need a balance.
There is an old Taoist saying:
“If you do External Exercises, you need to do
Internal Exercises, but if you do Internal Exercises
you don’t have to do External Exercises.”
When we only do sports, aerobic and weight training,
we create too much heat in our bodies and overheat
the internal organs. After awhile, the organs start to
dry out and later feel like a plum that was left in the
sun for weeks– it turns into a prune!
The same thing happens to us with constant overheating
and aging, you can see it on a person’s face –the wrinkles
are the pruning effect. You can delay the aging process and
re-dehydrate the organs by doing Qi Gong.
I told Arthur it’s time to get on a program because the
universe is knocking on your door. I know he heard
what I said and acted on it.
He placed an order for both Flying Crane Qi Gong
and the Recharging Qi Gong program that night.
According to the Jewish calendar, it’s now the year 5772.
That’s a lot of years and a lot of tradition, the holiday started last Wednesday night, September 28th. It’s called Rosh Hashanah, meaning “the head or first of the year.”
The next Ten Days begins with Repentance, and concludes with Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. It’s a time of introspection, forgiveness, and hope for a year in which we do better than we did in the past year.
This holiday is known for the custom of eating apples dipped in honey, symbolizing the sweetness of coming year may bring.
Rosh Hashanah is celebrated on the day when, according to tradition, the first humans were created; this is when people celebrate Rosh Hashanah as the birthday of the world and of humanity. The people from all over the world embark upon the serious task of examining their lives and repenting for any wrongs they have committed during the previous year. They are encouraged to make amends with anyone they have wronged and to make plans for improving during the coming year. It’s all about making peace in the community and striving to be a better person.
One of the traditions that I always do at this time, when the season changes from summer to fall is fasting and forgiveness for any wrongs I may have done. This tradition is in alignment with both the holiday and the season.
I fast for many reasons.
First there are millions of people all over the world fasting at this time.
It is sort of a collective consciousness of fasting because it makes it easier to do, like having waves of energy push you along making the fast easier.
Second fasting has a significant spiritual benefit. It helps to focus more on spiritual parts of our being.
The third reason is for all the health benefits.
A fast will give our system rest and help clean out toxins from our bodies.
Benefits of fasting are:
*Detoxification of the digestive system, liver and the kidneys
*Cooling of the core body temperature. This increases the bodies Growth hormones to keep you younger.
* A feeling of rejuvenation and extended life expectancy
There have been significant studies that conclude; less caloric intake will extend life.
Yes, it’s true, fasting is one of the longevity secrets. There are many reasons to consider fasting as a benefit to one’s health; the body rids itself of the toxins that have built up in our fat throughout the years. The body heals itself, and repairs all of the damaged organs during a fast. Finally there is good evidence to show that regulated fasting contributes to Longevity.
What I have found in my years of practice, is if you pay attention to your diet, do the right exercises like yoga and Qi gong and don’t hold on to the stresses in life you —you will stay disease free and live a happy life!
I wish you the best in your Health,
Wealth and Happiness.
I took a long walk under the great ball of Yin light,
The Harvest moon to balance my energy and cultivate energy
On September 12 at 5:27 a.m. EDT the moon will
be at its fullest.
This moon is celebrated across many cultures.
It’s an especially powerful moon for meditations,
lasting changes and moon magic.
The moon represents Yin the female force.
In the Taiji symbol Yin is represented by the dark half
with the seed of white in it.
The Chinese character means the dark side of a hill which
shows us the roots of the philosophy in the natural world.
It’s the perfect time for making new changes in your life.
As we move into a Fall season things will naturally change
on the planet. Fall is the time for closure, harvest and to
start preparing your body and mind for the winter.
In Chinese medicine Fall is when the lungs and large intestine
are most active.
We are coming into the colds and cough season and it’s
perfect time to strengthen your immune system.
From simple to elaborate, celebrating the harvest moon is part of
clearing the clutter in your mind body and spirit .
A time to turn your thoughts to the comforts of your home as the
cold weather arrives, think of ways to bring your attentions into
the area in your home. Focus your energy on creating the changes that make your life more balanced.
I’ll am personally start a six day detox program to clean out
my system and move into the Fall season as smoothly as possible.
I started my ritual cleanse today, as I do every time the seasons change.
This gives my digestion system a rest and helps to detox the liver, kidneys and lungs.
I started this morning with deep breathing exercise on the beach and
when I got home I started drinking apple juice and water 8 oz. of each
I drink at least a quart of apple juice a day for the next
6 days, with a two day liver flush next weekend.
The liver flush formula:
*Pink grapefruit
*Olive oil
*Garlic
*Lemon
*Blender
Organic is best if you can get it
Take 4 oz. of fresh grapefruit juice
1/2 lemon
2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil
1 piece of fresh garlic
Blend the mixture until smooth and drink it down. Yum!
It will help to clear potential stones out of the liver and
clear out the colon.
I’ll do this for a few days and follow up with the
two week homeopathic detox kit.
The Summer Solstice
This is the longest day of the year.
Summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere
on June 21, 2011, at 1:16 p.m.
The word solstice comes from the
Latin words for “SUN” & “TO STOP,”
as the Sun appears to stop in the sky.
This is one of the most important days
of the year for Energy Work.
Like Meditation,Qi Gong and Yoga practices,
the Energy is at its highest.
In fact, if you are thinking of getting an
Acupuncture treatment, a Medical Qi Gong
treatment or any kind of Energy Work,
the Summer and Winter Solstices
(June 21 and December 21)
are the strongest days to move the Qi.
My calendar gets totally booked up a few
days before the solstice,the day of the solstice
and the week after. It seems like everyone who
knows anything about Energy work is at my office that
week to get a treatment and for good reason a treatment
done at the Solstice can last up to three months.
The six weeks leading up to and directly
after the summer solstice is ruled by the
Fire element. This is the season for a lot of fun.
The Fire Element relates to communication
and community. It’s the time when people
travel, have family reunions, plan June
weddings and spend lots of time outside
having FUN.
The Qi is moving better than
ever and we usually feel great.
As for diet:
It’s better to eat light, more fruits and
vegetables, to keep the body from over heating.
and drink lots of H2O
My Qi Gong practices are focused more on the
Yin element,as the days get hotter.
This helps to cool the body down and quit
the mind.
In China, the summer solstice was observed
by a ceremony to celebrate the earth, femininity,
and the “Yin” forces.
I’ll increase my practice of Flying Crane Qi Gong
for the next few months to build more Yin and stay cool
If you don’t know this style get this
one today it’s great.
Yesterday afternoon I got in the car and headed to Ft. Lauderdale to say my last goodbyes to my dear friend Gary.
I set the GPS and off I went.
I was driving for about an hour before I found myself
far out into the everglades.
That’s not what I planed, but that’s where I ended up.
I guess the GPS had different plans for me. Maybe it was
Gary sending me a message.
I parked my car and went for a long walk with my fallen buddy
on my mind.
It’s beautiful what a spectacular place the sea of grass is.
I knew it was one of Gary’s favorite places in Florida as we
talked about it often.
As I walked I saw some big alligators sunning themselves
on the banks, birds were flying over head and fish were jumping.
I was led to a quite place where I could say goodbye to an
old friend that I knew since high school.
Nature is really a wonderful place to commune with
your higher power and open up your soul.
I hung out with my friend in spirit for a few hours.
I was really enjoying myself and I even shed a few tears
as I looked off into the flowing grass.
Then I looked up into the blue skies and there
it was giant high voltage towers moving electricity across
the sky and there I was under it.
I high tailed out of there as quick as I could.
The ceremony of spirt came to a sudden halt.
I made a decision at that point to share more with you on
your health. What to watch out for in the environment that
effects health.
What foods to avoid, where to go and where not to be.
How to care for your health and the health of your family.
I hope everyone had a blessed weekend, as I did with friends
and family
I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness
It was some time ago when country singer George Jones
wrote these words
“Well I really had a ball last night
I held all the pretty girls tight
I was feeling single, seeing double
I wound up in a whole lot of trouble
and today I’ll face the big fight
but I really had a ball last night “.
– What were you thinking?
Your body doesn’t rebound that well anymore,
if it ever did.
I got a call Sunday morning from Ronald;
I had no idea that it was him at first as
I only heard groans when I picked up.
He is a friend who was at the wedding
last weekend and apparently couldn’t
hold his liquor very well,
but he was having fun or at least he
thought he was.
He started drinking before the ceremony
even started and by 10:00 he was lit-up
like a fire cracker on the 4th of July
and out-cold by 11.
Too bad the dude missed a great celebration.
When he called me he said,
“My head is throbbing,
I am shaking and I feel like
I’m in a deep fog.
Dr.Wu Dhi, my mouth feels like the desert
floor and to top things off,
my insides feel like they’ve been put
through the ringer.
Is there anything I can do to feel like
a human again?”
Ron, with every gulp of booze you drank
last night,you sucked your body bone dry.
You’re now in a state of Dehydration and
that leads to all kinds of health problems,
keep it up and you’ll be ageing yourself like
“Greased lighting”
Your aching head is just a symptom
of no moisture in your body.
Alcohol breaking down the body,
dumps electrolytes and uses up all your
reserve stores.
You must hydrate to get rid of that woozy
feeling.
Drink as much water as you can, start taking
vitamin B and come into the office to get a
B-12 injection that will help pull you back
together.
Alcohol blocks the body’s absorption of vitamins
B6 & B12.
“It flushes all the good stuff out of your system.”
A dose of multi-vitamin will help get your body
back into balance.
I had a few drinks myself that night but made
sure that I drank 2 eight ounce glasses of water;
and took a handful of vitamins and walked
as soon as I got home, then I did the Recharging Qi
Gong exercises. www.Rechargingqigong.com
It took me less than an hour to pull myself
together and when I woke up in the morning
I felt Great.
I Wish you the best in your Health Wealth and Happiness
Dr. Wu Dhi
PS.If you’re not on the program,
now is the time to make those changes
and keep yourself healthy and stay young.
The program is an anti-aging program that
has been working for hundreds of people.

The Moon was full; it was around dusk when I met up with the thirty people who gathered in the traditional healing circle in the park. The Ecuadorian Shamanic ”Fire Ceremony was about to begun.
I have been to many of these events through out the years, but this was a first in Florida for me and the first
with a shaman from South America
I know the importance of Fire Ceremonies and no matter what tradition they come from they open a new
path way for my growth. The purpose of this ceremony was to let go of old belief structures.
The Shaman blessed the space and welcomed in the Spirit of the sky, earth and the four directions.
We circled the fire and everyone there was getting ready for something to happen, which would hopefully change his or her life for the better.
The Tibetan Lamas, Daoism Priests and Shamans that I studied with all use fire rituals of some kind.
In fact most native peoples, as well as the Taoist and Buddhist shamans invoke the Fire element in there secrete rituals.
This Fire Ceremony was no exception, the Shaman invoke the four directions, ancestors,
the Earth energies, the universe and the spirit of the fire. This ceremony offers a cleansing of energy
field and patterns of long pending issues.
The goal is re-connecting with our true nature of pure heart-centered consciousness, each one of us received a shamanic cleansing. This ancient ceremony promoted healing on all levels.
When coming to the fire circle it is customary to create an offering out of a small stick. Using my breath,
blow this intention or prayer into the offering several times.
One additional offering is then placed in the fire for the Mother Earth.
Each person in the circle will blow their prayers for the planet into the offering
before it is placed into the fire.”
The four main ritual that use fire offerings in the Tibetan system called fire puja :
1.The Peaceful harmonizing Fire it to pacify the results of the three poisons, (worry , struggle and blame) ,
or to clear away obstacles and defilements. It may also be done to avoid difficulties and illnesses.
2. Increasing Ritual Fire Offerings can be performed for both one’s own and other’s benefit.
To increase wealth health and happiness
3. A decrease fire can be performed to get ride of obstacles on the path or even pests like rodents,
bugs or snakes. Also to subdue forces that is harming other sentient beings.
4. A Strong and forceful puji fire are performed against harmful forces. In Tibet rituals these were used
to dispel or subdue local disturbances,
All rituals no matter what system or tradition they come from involve keeping yourself centered and
grounded at all times. I have found that Qi Gong exercises are number one in keeping you grounded
centered and focused. That’s why I encourage all of my students who are interested in spiritual work,
marshal arts or healing to learn and practice internal exercises, like the ones offered in
"Dr. Swartz is the man I call when I want a treatment that takes me to the next level of health. He works on me as well as all of my family members, including my two kids. Every session leaves us recharged.
"I've also learned some very powerful chi kung exercises from Dr. Swartz that anyone who is looking for "the edge" would be wise to learn right away."
Matt Furey www.mattfurey.com Author of the international best-sellers Combat Conditioning, Combat Abs and Gama Fitness.
"I have very high stress in my profession and was experiencing low energy, anxiety and frequent digestive disorders.
"Through consultation and treatment with Dr. Swartz I have learned methods to relieve my anxiety increase my energy and eliminate my digestive problems, greatly improving my physical health and quality of life.
"I am now able to conduct both my professional personal life with more balance."
Larry called me on the evening
Flying Crane Qi Gong
