Back in 1978 I was living in the mountains with my family. My friend Bob came to visit from Michigan on his way to Arizona. I’ve known Bob since I was 12 years old.
His family they lived just a few houses away from us.
Although I haven’t seen him in years, he heard that we moved to Telluride and showed up one afternoon at our door.
Bob went to school with me at the College for Creative Studies (CCS) and at that time it was called “The Center for Creative Arts” in downtown Detroit.
Somewhere along the way he picked up the skill of making pies and that night he made a few pies for our family and passed down his pie making secrets to me.
That spring the rhubarb came up in the high country and I decided to make a few delicious rhubarb pies. I picked a whole bunch of fresh organic rhubarb and brought it into the house and began my pie making magic. I started with a homemade organic lattice crust. You know, that crisscross kind?
It was just beautiful and it was filled with rhubarb and fresh strawberries. I put them in the oven and when they were ready I placed them on the table to cool.
I went into town to do a few things. When I came back both pies were gone, I asked my wife what happened to the two pies?
She said, “I had friends drop in unexpectedly and I served the pies.”
Me, “Both of them?”
She said, “Yep! They are gone and we really enjoyed them. Thanks.”
I asked her if she saved me a piece as those were the first rhubarb pies that I ever made and she said,” No there all gone.”
At first I was disturbed and in disbelief that they didn’t even save me a small piece.
It took me a few hours to make them and they were all gone!
But as we all know for every action there is a reaction.
The next day I was at the post office and one of the guys who came over to visit my wife and have a piece of pie, came up to me and was really pissed off.
He said after eating the pies he had stomach cramps and diarrhea all night.
I heard that from more than one of her guests.
Apparently, I got some of the leaves of the rhubarb into the pie and the leaf will give you the runs for sure– it’s considered a mild poison.
Although I never got to taste my first rhubarb pie it sure made me put a smile on my face.
In life there is always a reaction to everything we do.
The reason I train, meditate and eat a healthy diet is; I am creating a reaction in my body, mind and spirit. The reaction I am shooting for is openness, clarity, flexibility, awareness and optimal health.
We can all achieve these qualities but it comes with work and training It takes two wings to fly. One is the practice and the other wing is the training or education, to achieve your goals you need both. If you just have one wing you flop around on the ground and never get anywhere. But if you get the proper training and practice you will soar to new heights.

My son called me this morning at 6:00 am, and said
“Dad, can you believe it- there is two inches of snow
on the ground! and it’s cold again ” He lives in Michigan
where it’s still spring time as the hours of light and
darkness are equal. He told me that he can see green of
the daffodils, tulips and crocus shooting their heads
through the white snow and about to bloom- the new leaves
are appearing on the trees and he said that it was beautiful.
In South Florida we don’t get to see such a dramatic change
because spring is subtle here. Traditionally, it’s the
time to start new beginnings.
As I spring into things with a new burst of energy I will
start to detox my body by fasting for a few days, increase
the amount of liquids I drink, and eat a lot more green
leafy vegetables. I also focus my Qi gong practices on
the wood element -the liver and gall bladder; those are
the organs that are ruling in the spring.
The Spring Equinox also called vernal equinox, the rites of
spring, and our religious holidays like Easter and Passover
are at this time of the year, as the earth is bursting forth
with life once again. The equinox was a few weeks ago and we
are in the midst of holy week and Passover.
As a celebration of spring and of the new YOU, I want
to encourage all of you to increase your Qi Gong practices.
If you don’t already have the Recharging Qi Gong program now
is the time to get it !
The time for new beginnings- a time for a spring sale.

S*T*O*P*!
Before you take any medicine, herb, homeopathic or vitamin
You can Energize it to give you the maximum healing benefit.
This can increase your healing process by at least ten fold.
How many times have you said or heard this?
This medicine is killing me.
I hate taking this stuff;
I think this is making me sicker than I was in the first place.
If I don’t take my medicine I will die.
Well wake up!
What you are saying is just like a prayer, mantra
or a negative affirmation.
You could be putting a curse into your own body and mind
and don’t even know it.
That medicine is following your instructions to the tee,
as it goes down your tubes along with it is the negative
program that you are also swollen.
You can change all of that by just taking charge
and telling your medicine where to go and what to do.
In the Buddhist doctrines it is states the importance of
the purification of the body, speech, and mind.
Our speech to others, and especially what we are saying
to our self’s is a key to your health.
Back in the eighties, I was a personal trainer and consultant
for an internationally known subliminal tape company,
Midwest Research of Michigan, producers of self help
Programs and tapes.
I am always looking for techniques and products to assist
my clients and patients in making positive changes.
Most motivational speakers and books tell us that we create
our life with our thoughts, but the truth is, we rarely”choose”
our thoughts.
Most of what we call “thoughts” are really automatic reactions
coming out of our subconscious programming.
These programs, many of which are negative, make it difficult
for us to experience the health, happiness and success we desire
and deserve.
Once the subconscious accepts a message,
new programs are created and our conscious mind learns
new responses, thoughts and behaviors as a result.
We literally talk ourselves into health or sickness mentally,
physically and emotionally.
Before you put it in your mouth imagine what you want the
medicine to do.
How do you want it to react in your body?
Give it a specific job or assignment…
Where does it need to go?
What do you want it to effect?
When do you want it to start working and for how long?
Visualize your internal healers and angles;
spirit guides what ever you believe will work as your
internal healer.
I imagine a pure white light surrounding me,
and as I gulp down the medicine,
I feel my body filling with this pure white light
moving through every pore of my body.
I then visualize the light going into every organ,
structure and muscle of my body and finally the
light shining and radiate out every pore in my skin.
I see light streaming out of my body in all directions
North, South , East , and West into the entire universe.
The energy of the medicine vibrates radiant health to all
parts of my body mind and spirit.
The most effective Blessing or Prayer will depend on your
spiritual background.
It can be as simple as- “I bless this medicine to go to the
Right organ or system to heal my body, speech and mind.”
Or a more traditional prayers or mantras that you know
or practice can be incredibly effective.
Another example “I have great faith in the healing power of my
medicine and will bring forth the blessings of The Heavenly Father
or Mother.
The medicine becomes so powerful that it can heal anything it meets.
It is so powerful that it instantly heals all disease, of the mind and body.
“Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.”

I was talking to my cousin Susie today.
She told me that she made two pies and brought
them to friend’s houses for Christmas.
Suzy, “I didn’t know you inherited that pie maken
gene from Grandma”.
I told her about a story that I heard years ago from
my Dad about pies.
It was back in the time of the great depression.
My grandmother was a great cook and an even better baker
she made everything. Home made noodles from scratch, cakes,
cookies and everyone loved her pies,they were the very best,
lemon,cherry,blueberry, pumpkin and apple you name it
Grandma made it.
The family lived in Michigan and one cold, snowy, winter
day just around this time of the year my Grandma made a
few of her famous pies and placed them on the windowsill
to cool.
As fait would have it, one flipped over and landed in the
new fallen snow.
What a Bummer!
In our lives there is so much we see spill, tip over, or break
and some of us see only the lost pie in the snow.
I had a patient call me and say.” I am going into the hospital
to treat my depression. It’s really bad. Saw a shrink and he’s
throwing pills at me – but they’re not doing anything and he’s
a fortune. I have to go somewhere that can remedy this.
I feel that I am being stuck in the same place without the
tools to dig my way out.” I am not sure I can hang on.
I am really feeling hopeless.
Well I know from experience that our lives are a series of
lessons to be learn. If we get up-set, bent-out-of-shape and
it effects our health in all three bodies physically, mental
and spiritual.
If the lesson isn’t learned, most likely we’ll have to repeat
it over and over again, until we learn it.
When it feels like a “crisis of death”, it is most likely akin
to a “crisis in birth.”
There are always ways to dig your pie out of the snow.
All it takes is the right coaching and education.
My dad and both of my uncles ran out side with spoons
in hand and didn’t let a bit go to waste.
