Depressed and hurting, Daren came into
the office today suffering, and I mean
really suffering.
He had swollen ankles, diabetes, is
depressed all the time, a host of allergies
and he is at least 60 pounds over weight.
He is STRESSED!
Although he has a college education and
all of the advantages of being successful,
he is not working and has applied for Medicare.
He is stressed about his health, his money,
his family and relationships.
He is a shipwreck and going down fast and
is crying out for help with life rafts and other
ships all around him that he just can’t see.
One of my teachers once said to me,
“when taking birth in human form, pain is
mandatory, but suffering is optional.”
I suggested that he makes just one positive
change in his life to see what happens.
When you do that it’s just like pulling out the
Key stone of a building. Everything will shift.
It could be taking a favorite food out of his
diet, waking up an hour early, starting an
exercise program or only allowing yourself
to open the refrigerator 5 or 6 times a day.
Any change will work to start to unravel
the problems. You just need to start.
The first thing out of his mouth was,
“this is going to be really hard to do! You
know I live to eat, I am in too much pain to
exercise, and I have a hard time wakening up
in the morning.”
Daren has an excuse for everything, like many people do.
They suffer, worry, struggle and blame others
for their problems.
He asked me why he had to limit anything in
his life to make a change and asked for some
medicine, a pill, a shot or cream that would
help his situation.
Well Daren guess what? Until you decide to
take responsibility for your own health no
medicine will work.
You are just covering up your problems.
I gave him a universal secret to health, wealth and
happiness that I will share with you.
You don’t have to change a thing.
You can go on doing exactly what you have been
doing and every thing will move along as nature
has intended.
But we all come to planet earth to grow and learn lessons.
We can choose what lessons we want to learn by
choosing what we want to do and we will grow or
we can just sit there and the universe will choose the lesson for us.
We can exercise or get fat and put more strain on
our heart and maybe get a heart attach.
You can eat right and restrict unhealthy foods or
you can let the universe supply you with a
dis-ease to learn the lesson. We all have a choice and
we all get tests and lesions.
I suggested he repeats these simple words
when he wakes up and before he goes to sleep:
* I choose health over sickness
* I choose prosperity over poverty
* I choose happiness over depression
* I choose friendship over loneliness
* I choose service over disservice
Isn’t it time to change your worry, struggle and
blame into – Aim, Contribution and Participation?
Over the last 35 years I have worked to make
changes in my life and to change my old habits
and old negative programming into a positive healthy
and a very productive life. You can do the same in
much less time with better results by following the
exercises and meditations I have spelled out for you in
the Turn Stress Into Power program.
Get it now before the holidays, share it with your
friends and family and rid yourself of useless suffering,
pain and stress.
Last Thursday evening I drove to the
Miami International airport to pick up
one of my good friends from Michigan.
He is an international known palmist and
psychic, a very interesting chap that you don’t
run into every day. He specializes in planetary
events and how that affects individuals.
Whenever I have a guest in my home I always
know that I am in for a unique experience and
when the guest is a psychic you can count on more
growth physically, mentally and spiritually.
Since he’s been here I’ve changed my entire
workout as well as meditations, practices, diet
and sleeping patterns.
Although this is a disturbance in my usual life
style it forces growth and flexibility for everyone.
One of the most important lessons I have been
learning from him is his dedication to service and love.
We have been going to all of the tourist spots around
Miami Beach and everywhere we go Frank stops
to help someone or give them a kind word.
Every time he sees someone that’s homeless or
having a hard time, he gives them either a positive
suggestion, a heart felt prayer or some change out
of his pocket.
When I asked him why he does this with everyone
he meets, he told me that life is all about serving
others and ending suffering wherever you can.
What he is doing is living life to its fullest and
showing others how to do the same.
I was talking to a good friend in Nevada this
evening and I asked him if he was having fun
and he replied NO!
Talking to a young lady I asked her the same
question, are you having fun? She also said NO!
Whenever you’re stuck in a place in your
life where you’re not having fun, it means that
you are not open to the people and things around you.
Your creativity is cramped, your flexibility is stifled
and most likely you are living in a closed system.
This is definitely not fun! When you are living in an
open system, you have flexibility, freedom, joy, love,
and you can be of service to others. This frees
you of worry, struggle, blame and can transform
your life into aim, contribution, and participation.
When I created the program Turn Stress into Power,
I had patients and students coming to me and asking
how can they change, how can they get out of their predicament?
I teach hundreds of people these meditations,
practices and exercises.
Like the tension release exercise, it clears blockages,
cures insomnia, relieves anxiety, calms the mind, and
eliminates stress. This powerful and spiritual exercise
has transformed people’s lives in less than 48 hours!
There are techniques like the Neuro-Vascular points – a unique
set of stress receptors that relaxes the body, clears the stresses,
reboots your system, and gives you more energy.
The book is crammed with exercises like these
that can transform your life!
Life is all about our communications, what we
say and how we use words determines our lives.
Our communication is who we really are and
it shows up in our health, moods,
wealth and happiness.
It’s said that our speech is the center
where karma is generated and where it can be modified.
Karma is based on language.
I came across this information based
on Fernando Flores’ work.
It was written by two of his students, Matthew Budd, M.D.,
and Larry Rothstein, Ed.D.
I found it of great value!
You Are What You Say!
Flores began his lecture with this
statement:
“In language we build our
own identities, our relationships
with others, the countries that we
live in, the companies we have and
the values that we hold dearly.
With language we generate life.
Without language we are mostly chimpanzees.”
According to Dr. Flores,
here are five kinds of linguistic “actions”
REQUESTS: A request is an
action that you take when you seek the
assistance of another in satisfying
an underlying concern that you
have. For example, “Please pick up
some flounder and broccoli at the
market for dinner tonight.”
PROMISES: A promise is what
you speak to indicate your commitment
to fulfilling what someone else has requested.
(“I will get the flounder
and broccoli.”) It implies that you
understand the request fully and
that you are competent and sincere
about fulfilling the request.
DECLARATIONS: A declaration
is an utterance in which someone
with the authority to do so brings
something into being that wasn’t there
before. Personal declarations such as
“I will lose 30 pounds by July
1st” have the power to shape our lives,
if followed by consistent
behavior.
ASSESSMENTS: An assessment is a
judgment that you make about the world
in the interest of taking some action.
For example, in the interest of going to
a ball game, I might make the assessment,
“It’s a beautiful
day,” in which no wind and a temperature
of 8o degrees are my
standards. On the other hand, in the
interest of going sailing, my
assessment, “It’s a beautiful day”
means that the wind is blowing, the
harder the better. Assessments are never the truth.
ASSERTIONS: An assertion is a
statement you make for which you are
willing to provide evidence.
For example, if I say it is 68 degrees in
this room, I’m willing to show
this to you on a thermometer. We live
by the social agreement that this device
reflects temperature. In
other words, a society builds certain ways
of establishing and
asserting common, often quantitative values.
These assertions live for
us as “facts” -They are either true or false.
In this Friday’s letter I will share with you
“The Ten Linguistic Viruses.”
Stay tuned. I’ll be sharing more about
communications and how it affects our lives
with the Qi Gong Inner Circle group.

In 1977 I was invited to come
to Park City, Utah with a group
of healers and meditation students
for a month to study with
Virginia Satir.
She was a great psychotherapist, known
especially for her approach to family
therapy.
She was regarded as
The “Mother of Family Therapy.”
When you are working with people,
(No matter if you are doing massage,
medical qi gong or acupuncture)
when you open up to new modalities
in your practice it will make you a
better doctor, healer or therapist.
One of Satir’s most novel ideas at
the time, was the “presenting issue”
or surface problem – that the presenting
issue itself was seldom the
real problem; rather, how people coped
with the issue is what created the problem.
She also offered insights into the
particular problems that self-esteem
could cause in relationships.
Whenever I work with a patient or a
student, I start with a process that
Virginia developed called:
“The Five Freedoms”.
*The freedom to see and hear what is
here, instead of what “should” be, was,
or will be.
*The freedom to say what you feel and think,
instead of what one should.
*The freedom to feel what you feel,
instead of what you “ought.”
*The freedom to ask for what you want,
instead of always waiting for permission.
*The freedom to take risks on your own
behalf, instead of choosing to be only
“secure” and not rocking the boat.
What The Five Freedoms will do
for you is open you to new possibilities
in your life and give you a way to look
at the world differently.
Applying the five freedoms in your
life can give you different twist
to think outside of the box and
free up your stresses.
In the Turn Stress into Power Program
I incorporated the Five Freedoms
in my writing and presented a new way
of looking at stress.
How to use your stresses to transform your
life and get on top of the wave of stress,
instead of being flipped, rolled and pulled
under by every day stresses.
Open up to new possibilities in
your life and order the program today.
It will transform your Stress into Power.

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.
The purpose of the Qi Gong Inner Circle www.qigonginnercircle.com is to train serious students.
If you’re just starting to train and practice this isn’t for you right now.
Get the Recharging Qi Gong www.Rechargingqigong.com program and Turn Stress into Power www.Turnstressintopower.com and practice for 6 months first.
These programs will give you the foundation you will need to become part of the Qi Gong Inner Circle www.Qigonginnercircleqigong

You either lose your appetite,
skip meals or you become
a carbolic and mindlessly eat
junk food non stop?
People go robotic and revert to
their old habit patterns that don’t
serve them when they are under stress.
When stress happens, and it happens daily,
we also stop exercising,throw all good
nutrition out the window and wonder
why we are so stressed out.
This is quite common unless you TRAIN
your robot to follow a healthy program.
I know a doctor who is involved in so
many different businesses and he is
stressed out to the max and although
he is a really great athlete and
usually exercises daily, his
stressful life has him dancing
with Krispy Kream donuts just to
try and find some comfort.
“Doc, your headed for trouble!”
How Many Calories do you think there
are in A Krispy Kreme Donut anyway?
TWO HUNDRED EMPTY CALORIES
Maybe that’s not bad if you
only eat one small donut, but a dozen?
Doctor Donut was unconsciously
just munching away.
Come on Doc what are you thinking?
Like most of us, when we are under
extreme stress we aren’t thinking
at all..
When you are stressed it’s time
to pay attention because your health
is #1.
Stress will rob your body of
vitamins and minerals which will deprive
you of oxygen just to name a few things.
The interesting thing about the human
system is when we are stressed
out we go into the fight or
flight response.
We either hold our ground and
dig in or high tail it out as quick
as possible.
The body mind connection takes a back
seat and there goes our health.
Good habits have to be trained and
that takes time and practice to
be able to build your good habit patterns.
In the Turn Stress into Power program
there are step by step processes showing
you how to transform those stresses into
personal power.
The DVD will lead you through every
exercise, meditation and
anti-stress strategy.
The book gives you all of the
details to transform your stress
into useful power.
If you didn’t get your copy yet,
now is the time. Don’t wait until
you are under the gun.
Learn these simple and affective
techniques now and when the boom
is dropped on you–You will have
the tools in place to
Turn your Stress into Power.
I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness
My youngest son Damion lives in Tucson,Arizona.
It is about 6 blocks from where that shooter
-Jared Lee Loughner gunned down all those people
and wounded one of our U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
When we spoke today he was telling me
that he was at a similar gathering with
my granddaughter a few months ago.
Damo, as he is called by friends and
family is in the Newspaper
business and goes to most political
events in his community.
I was glad he missed this one.
It brought a tear to my eye just thinking
of the negative possibilities for a split
second.
My prayers go out to the families that lost
their loved ones and that our U.S. Rep,
Gabrielle Gifford has a speedy recovery
from this sad event.
“A tragedy for our entire country.”
In the Chinese medicine the shooter,
Jared Lee Loughner would have
been diagnosed with a Shen disturbance.
A Shen disturbance is a symptom of depression,
mental health problems and emotional disorders.
But it’s much more than that.
The word Shen is literally translated as Spirit
but way different from the Western idea of Spirit.
In Chinese medicine, Shen includes many
different aspects of mind, spirit, consciousness,
awareness and vitality.
It reinforces the body, consciousness and personality.
Unfortunately, for all of us, politics and politicians
play nasty and can influence unstable people to do
some really bad things.
“The Targeted List,” by one of our overly ambitious
politician has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our
U.S. Rep district in Arizona.
I was sure that the campaign managers didn’t see
anything wrong with this as a logo.
But it is possible in a Shen disturbed mind this can
trigger the wrong message.
A message that could be easley be misunderstood if
you are off balance in the first place.
I bet a dollar of donuts that Jared Lee was a wired
junk food eater, and that contributed to his
disturbed mind and behavior.
To keep from falling into destructive patterns,
it is necessary to keep a good attitude in body,
mind and spirit.
There are ways to keep yourself balanced and
avoid negative energy as you keep your Shen
in tip-top shape.
Here is a list of activities to keep you balances
1. Meditation
2. Exercise
3. Positive thinking
4. The company you keep
5. The foods you eat
6. The places you frequently visit
Turn stress into Power is a program filled
with exact formulas to strengthen your Shen
and transform energy into power.
Rituals are one of the foundations of Spiritual work
and the basis of all the internal arts.
This is the reason I always encourage you to PRACTICE,
to build a strong foundation and to embody the practices.
It could be the Recharging Qi Gong practice,
Flying Crane Qi Gong or any of the internal practices
that I teach in the Turn Stress into Power program or
any other discipline you choose.
The key is the ritual of practice.
In 2007 a group of Qi Gong and meditation students
came to my office and made a formally requests
of me.
They asked if I would take them on as students.
The Master’s that I have studied with over the years
have taught me that whenever a student formally asks
for the teaching it is a karmic obligation of the teacher
to give it to them, if they qualify.
Since that time the group has grown and requests have come
in from all over the world.
Thanks to modern technology I produce a DVD every month
for the group on practices and ritual work.
“If one truly wants to grow the ritual of practice must be a
way of life.”
-Dr Wu
I am on my way to the Desert for my Solar Return.
You may be asking yourself, what the heck is a
Solar Return?
First, Let me explain the importance of this practice, it ‘s
called by astrologers “The Solar Return” the day of your
birthday.
Most of us know the usual ritual. Ice cream and cake,
a drink with friends and maybe a few presents and It’s
a party “ Happy Birthday!”
But there is some real magic that can happen on that
special day once you learn the rituals of the
“Solar Return.”
A Solar return is when the Sun returns to the exact
degree and minute it occupied when you were born.
Basically astrologers use the Return as a way to
forecast the upcoming year.
Personally I don’t use astrology as an everything
forecaster,but it is a handy map to look at now and again,
to give you the best places to be and to know when
to travel,plan special events and avoid possible
bad situations.
Traveling on your Solar Return is a special ritual to
travel to a specific location that maximizes the
positive and reduces the negative factors of your
coming year.
I first heard about “Solar Return Travel” back in the
early Seventies.
Since then I make my birthday a magical day of
traveling to incredible places in the world.
Traveling for one day doesn’t work for most of us,
But when you turn the travel into a spiritual ritual
it has a lot of merit and will empower your entire
year.
“Take charge of your life! and receive the support
of the stars.
Travel on your birthday to the best destination,
location to energize
a positive focus for your current year’s “Solar Return”.
Empower your intentions, your goals, and your desires
for the year unfolding.”
That being said you are going to need to do something
with this election other than simply showing up!
I’ll spend some of the time to creature a special a
talismans, some would call it a good luck charm, created
at a particular moment that will capture the energy and
power of that moment and preserve it.
My day will be spent in setting goals, meditations and
intensive Qi Gong practices.
I wish you the Best in your Health, Wealth and happiness.

PS I’ll be sure to have a piece of cake and a drink too.
What do you tell the person who
feels unloved? Who feels beaten down?
The person who lost hope and doesn’t
feel acknowledged?
Linda knows that I am an acupuncturist,
but when she came into the office the
first thing she said was,
“Doc I don’t want any needles stuck in me,
but I need your help.
I feel alone and unloved by my husband-
and the kids only want me to do things
for them and they don’t give back.
Not even a thank you! I think they feel
that they are entitled to all my time
and energy.
Can you please HELP?”
“Linda, it was back in 1974 when
I first learned about a Chinese system
called the Magic Square that helped
me, as well as many of my students
and patients sort things out to bring
their lives back into balance.
It’s a rather simple system,
but very profound and most powerful
at the same time.
The Master’s that I studied with,
were skilled in Black Hat Fung Shui -
the most mystical and spiritual
of all the Fung Shui practices.
That’s where I received the pith
teachings and the bulk of my knowledge.
They say that the Magic Square formula
goes back to Emperor Yu who was the first
Emperor of China and was credited with the
discovery of the Magic Square.
It has been said that the Emperor was trying
to tame the unruly Yellow River.
He saw a giant tortoise emerge from
the river. On the shell, there was a
pattern of nine lines near the head,
one line near it’s tail,
four lines near its left foot,
two lines near its right fore foot,
eight lines near its left hind foot,
six lines near its right hind foot,
and five lines in the center.
These lines contain the keys to the
magic square. The patterns found were
so unique that in any direction-
horizontal,vertical, or diagonal,
the numbers all add up to fifteen.
This is said to represent the fifteen
days in each of the 24 cycles
of the Chinese Year.
From the discovery of the Magic Square
evolved the I Ching, Feng Shui, Nine Star
Ki, Geomancy, Chinese Astrology and Chinese
numerology.
There are many hidden secrets in the use
of the magic square; the one that I
practice and teach my students comes
from the deep roots of the Chinese
Medical Qi Gong.
Once you understand how it works,
you can balance your health,relationships,
wealth, career, success patterns, family,
and open up your inner creativity.
Interesting enough everything in the formula
must move through spirit to make it work.
The keys to success is in the balance of
the spiritual energy.
On November 13, 2010
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m,
I will be teaching a workshop
on The Inner teachings of The
Use and practice of the Magic Square.
How easy it is to successfully work
with this ancient system to help
balance the nine domains of your life.
The class will include:
*The formulas
*How to work the patterns
*The internal exercises of Medical Qi Gong
* Yin set- a powerful exercise to
strengthen the internal organs and
facilitate the integration of the
teachings into your every day life.
Miami Beach is the place to be on Nov 13th,
this workshop is a must if
