Centering

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

My cousin Sheldon was in town a few weeks ago.
We always stay in touch by phone, but I haven’t
seen him in years.
Sheldon 6 years my senior and my memories of him
are of a big strong guy. When I was a kid he rode
a huge Harley, he was in the gym all the time,boxed
andhe could kick your butt if he needed too.
The last time I saw him I was in California
many years ago he was quite muscular,
but this time he was walking with a cane
and in pain.

He had an operation 2 years ago and was still
experiencing the pain.The operation was a success,
according to the doctor and in all the testing he
was perfect.
His doctor said that there shouldn’t be any pain
but if there was, it’s just one of those things
and he’d just have to live with it.

Shel was having muscle memory of the trauma
and operation and he was somewhat stuck with
the pain still in his body and mind.

I convinced him to come into the office and with
only few treatments he left pain free.

Yes, no pain.

He couldn’t believe it. He had no idea that with a
few simple treatments he could be free of a two
year nightmare.
This is a common experience of many of my patients.
When the memory of pain gets locked in to the mind
and muscle,even if the body heals there is still
a nagging pain.
It was somewhat of a miracle to him to be
pain free.
This happens often as long as the patient is
willing to step outside the box and let go of
their per-conceived ideas around health
and healing.
When he left Miami he was walking on his own
without that walking stick and
HE LOOKED and FELT TEN YEARS YOUNGER.

I was pleasantly surprised this week when I
received a large box with one of his paintings
in it as a thank you.

It’s called “Center Ring”.
It’s now is a permanent part of Dr. Wu’s
growing art collection.

As I reflected on it and what Center-ring
or Centering meant to me. I ask myself what
is it to be centered or to keep ones center.
Is being centered more of a physical state
concerning center of gravity, natural posture
and movement or is it just a state of mind?

We are always trying to maintain homeo stasis or
balance.
I believe that being centered is to live in the
immediate and ever changing balance of all systems,
centering is a technique
to help you ‘stay in the present’ and discard
negative or distracting thoughts.

To keep myself centered I have built in a discipline
that works. Every morning I get up before day break to
begin my training.
I do the Recharging Qi Gong exercises and then move
into the Crain style Qi Gong set.

The Key is the regular time and consistence.
The body loves routine, doing the same thing
at the same time day in and day out.
Start practicing daily build in the habit and
join me in staying healthy.

Are We Having FUN Yet?

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

When I was a small boy growing up in Detroit

my Dad would come home every night after

Work around 6:30 and before dinner he would

play with my brother and me before doing

anything else.

 

We would beg him to stand on his head and

Dad who was in good shape would do a head

stand for us. He loved to stand on his head

like a yogi right in the middle of the living

 room.

 

Every time he did this coins would fall from his

pockets.

 

My brother and I would scurry around and grab

as much loose change as we could while my father

pretended to protest, “give me back my money” from

his inverted position.

 

In truth it was as much fun for him as it was

for us.

 

My Dad was the youngest of a family of eight

and being the baby of that family he was always having

fun with siblings even into adulthood.

 

Life for him was about play, having fun being with friends and family.

 

Dad successfully instilled this outlook of life

onto me and my brother.

 

Even when we would go with him to work in downtown

Detroit we had fun, maybe even the most fun of all.

 

The word work and the drudgery that goes along with

it never made any sense to me or my brother because

of this.

 

People hate to work but they use this word for

stuff that isn’t even work. Did you ever notice

that everywhere it does get used people are really

serious.

 

Serious people in the gym are Working Out.

For serious training you go to a Workshop.

When you’re serious about beauty you call

it a Work of art. If you’re serious about

your Work they say you have Work ethic.

Some even practice Spiritual Work.

 

I’ve done my best to work and be conscious

over the years, I really have, but most of

the time I can’t help but

consider how much fun I’m having.

If you love what your doing work is fun.

 

If I’m not having fun or moving to a higher

level of “fun” in the sense of being able to

contribute; making a difference; learning;

growing and to feel that I am part of a

successful group that is making a difference

in the world, it’s usually not fun and I am

not doing it or at least not for long.

 

What I’ve learned is that you can’t push

other people to work they are either workers

 or not, but you can make it rewarding and Fun.

This gets you and others to be much more protective.

Everyone loves to have Fun.

 

Sometimes it’s just a matter of reminding ourselves

that we’re having fun.

 

Try it.

 

There are many situations that are supposed to be

fun that we often add tension to and they instantly

become serious situations or work.

 

At these times simply say aloud “This is fun”.

 

You’ll either break the tension in the room or

You’ll actually change the

orientation of yourself and others from one of

seriousness to one of FUN.

 

If you saw me doing Recharging Qi Gong with my

students on the beach I doubt you’d say that looks

like a lot of work. It’s actually a lot of fun and

it looks like fun, feels life Fun and it is Fun too.

 

Big smiles on everyone’s face and some occasional

Laughter is normal.

 

This is not your usual “Workout” and so far it’s been

producing unusual results in those that have gotten

the program

http://rechargingqigong.com and started to use it.

 

If you want more vitality and pep in your step I

encourage you to make a change.

 

Go to http://rechargingqigong.com and find out how

you can use these simple and gentle movements every

day to pump up you Qi power and invigorate your internal

organs

 

Wishing you the best in Health, Wealth and Happiness,

Don’t lose your pie in the snow

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

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.

I wish you the Best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness

The Magic of Winter Intenal Qi Gong

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

Last night I came home after sundown and the whole
house was completely dark.
Instead of turning on the lights I lit a candle.
I never do this sort of thing but the house seemed
so quiet and peaceful I wanted to just sit and open
to the quietness.

I spent the majority of the night in contemplative
meditation.We are in the Winter Solstice and it is
an excellent time to take time to be quiet and reflect
on the past year.
I recommend doing this for yourself as a matter of
self-cultivation.
With all the crazy energy around the holidays and
year-end you want to make sure that you cool-out
and recollect yourself before you burn-out.
Once you do I think you will find that the rush of
the holidays and year-end quiets down and you can
refocus on those things that are most important.

In Chinese medicine Winter is associated with the
element Water. Water energy has the attributes of:
•Cold
•Damp
•Quiet
•Stillness
•Calmness
•Smoothness
•Listening
•The Kidney organ and meridian

This energy is available in the atmosphere
throughout the winter. Just slow down,
sit quietly in a natural place and pull in the
atmosphere. Winter Water energy is also
associated with a special type of Awareness that,
from Chinese to English, best translates as
Alert Stillness. In the Chinese Medicine system we
use animal associations to signify these types of
energy, and as such, the animal for the water element
and organ of the Kidney is the Deer.
The Deer is chosen because it is a master of Alert
Stillness. When you think of a deer you think of an
animal that is impossible to sneak up on.
The slightest snap of a twig and the Deer has
disappeared. This is not the same type of power of
a Tiger or a Dragon but it is a type of power that
completes us.
In the Ba Gua system of Martial Arts it takes a
whole circle of animals to become a Master.
We cannot always Push, Push, Push, sometimes we
need to sit, take inventory, and listen to the
atmosphere.
This is the power in the symbol of the deer and that
is the power of this time of year.
So take advantage of this time of solstice when this
energy is most powerful and abundant, you will not be
able to tap into this energy so easily in other seasons.
Winter, not just the New Year, is the best time to set
 new plans and goals into action.
Take inventory of what is happening around you.
Upon deep consideration you may see more then
before.
Clarity is not achieved when you are rushing or
being hasty.
Opening is found in reflection.

Wishing you the best in Health, Wealth and Happiness,
Dr. Wu Dhi

Tuned in or Stressed Out?

Friday, December 11th, 2009

 

It’s a joy to have lunch with Brenda.

She’s always a bundle of energy and knowledge

and a pleasure to spend some time with.

 

She’s an international advisor to many

movie stars, political and a host of other

influential people.

 

Brenda was telling me that there are an

increasing number of people born from

1941 to 1954 that are totally freaked out

about getting older.

One would think getting older is a good

thing considering the other option.

 

This is causing a worldwide health dilemma

for people that we have never seen in such

high numbers before.

                   

  MAJOR STRESS IS THE PROBLEM!

 

The amount of stress that people are experiencing

is causing an unheard of disruption to the immune

system and secondary diseases are showing their

ugly heads.

 

She claims this is due to people being inflexible

and resisting change both in their body and mind.

 

She asked me, Dr Wu, What you think about this

increasing dilemma?

“Well from both a medical and energetic level

I’d say that Stress is the number one killer in

the world and it leads to most health problems

it causes the biggest and quickest break down

of the body, mind and spirit and is a major

cause of ageing.

 

If we knew how to use the energy behind stress

we would not be suffering from anxiety, worry,

and struggle or blaming others for our problems.”

 

Most of us have a tendency to have stressful

situation in our life. Maybe it’s nature’s way

to teach us. But if stress has you by the short hairs

you’re ageing too quickly.

 

Stress seems to comes in like a big wave that

rolls over our head and bounces us like a

basketball on the ocean floor.

By the time we know what happened we are gasping for

breathe, flat on our face with our trousers down to

our knees filled with sand.

 

STRESS can be used as a very powerful tool

to change our entire life. It will increase energy,

keep you healthy, powerful and you’ll be able to accomplish

more than you could imagine.

 

That is, Once you know how to use it.

 

Every week people come into my office and have some

issue that’s affecting their health and blocking

their energy.

They are needlessly in torment suffering from one

thing or another. Usually self induced.

 

We all desire to live a long healthy life and

I believe that with the right education and coaching

we can all have it.

 

Most of our bad health issues can be trained out

of the body just the way they have been train

in over the years.

 

I wish you the Best in Health, Wealth and

Happiness

 

Dr. Wu Dui

 

PS. I have some exciting news

that I will be sending you tomorrow to transform

you’re Stress into Power

If you don’t want to be bitten by a squirrel, don’t mess with his nuts

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

My Number one son lives in Michigan on Cooley Lake, surrounded
by 75 foot oak trees. The Michigan woods are full of critters.
I’ve seen deer, raccoons, opossums and some very fat squirrels
with thick furry coats – ready for the cold Michigan winter.

About a month ago my son started feeding those furry little
squirrel and now every time they open the door to step outside,
the squirrels are at their feet. The kid’s scream and his wife is freaked,
she’s afraid that the kids will get scratched, bitten or even worse.

Now that they stopped feeding the squirrels they thought they would
leave, but the squirrels won’t stop coming around. There doors are scratched,
the rubber seals on the bottom of the doors are ripped up and the molding
is being ripped off by sharp little claws and teeth. The Squirrels want those nuts.

The squirrels just keep coming back like nasty little habits. There family really
wants to get rid of them but it’s not so easy. It was an innocent gesture when
they began to feed the cute little furry critters and now it’s a major disaster.

Whenever we start to train anything it will follow our instructions to the Tee.
No matter if it’s little animals begging for food or an innocent habit that we
start and before we know it it’s a full-blown fire-breathing dragon.

We want to train our habits to serve us, not be a slave to any habits.
As humans we like to establish a pattern and we will repeat that pattern
over and over. No matter if it serves us positively or negatively.

The members of the Qi Gong Inner circle are coached on the way to train
in positive habits. Habits for better health; habits on how to be successful;
habits for longevity and habits to stay contented in all aspects of ones life.
