WORTH IT.

Despite all the suffering and sacrifices...I'm finally at the point where I can realise the "worth it" part...I meet people who have been sick like me, but for much longer yet they are still so lost and in despair. I am so glad I can give them hope and relieve their suffering. Although to be honest, we still all spend a good 70% of our spare waking hours doing health oriented things- keeping in good health once sick is seriously a full time affair- people have no idea how limiting this is on your ability to do things-they just assume you are a party pooper...but actually it's just about comfortable survival-unless you have a zillion dollars and can hire maids and chefs etc...we can't eat too much crap e.g takeaway etc cos this will make us sick, we also need to be very careful of overexhaustion or we will crash...bigtime. And all those bugs you bring to work in order to "soldier on" well stuff like that could land some of us in hospital! So yeah it's always a fragile and delicate balancing act with a lot, ALOT of conscientious effort and mental willpower involved on a daily basis.

In any case, not only have I benefited big time from learning the tools of my trade in order to stabilise and improve my own health to a manageable condition, it gives me great satisfaction to be able to help others get off the hamster wheel...

It is so good when you can reclaim your power and your life is in your own hands. Knowledge is Power.

Protecting Yourself

Takes a lot of effort. I know I have at least two big and complex cases...so I get up early to take advantage of the Abundant Yang Qi for morning qigong and yoga and to strengthen my aura. I know I need to eat properly, so I cook rice.

I know I will be dealing with sappy bad energy...chronic, sick...

So I choose the correct crystals, fill my pot of alkaline water, take some supplements, pack some snacks and will later put on some Hauschka over my vulnerable auric field and some special oil at special points. Besides this I will be careful to mentally keep a boundary and wash my hands up to my elbows immediately after each encounter.

When I come back, maybe I will need to soak in an Epsom Salt Bath...see, I wish I lived right next to the beach already...

A.R.E

Alarm
Resistance
Exhaustion

These are the Three Stages of STRESS.

The worst part is I already reached the "E" Stage" a few weeks ago...Fingers majorly Crossed!

eek.

In a way...

We are a little like fortune tellers....from the body alone we can tell what a person's health problems are or what is going to cause patients problems in the future...in this way Chinese Medicine has a significant advantage to conventional biomedicine which can only act when the problem manifests in a big way...by then, is it too late? In any case I like the whole preventative medicine approach and looking after one's health...

On the home stretch...

Just one last one to go- struggling to apply myself...to be honest, COMPLETELY BUGGERED and have been for the last couple of weeks. LOL I manifested in hysterics mid-week, and yesterday after a tough exam my b'day twin caught up to that stage...now we are just both...EXHAUSTED. But still have one more to go...

and then finally, FINALLY, one year I can just unwind on my birthday...THANK GOD!

In any case I think I gave up some time ago on being part of the academic elite...all I really care about now is graduation...and being a good practitioner and having a successful business...

Queen of Dru...Herbs!

I just realised I'm starting to collate a pretty sizeable collection now...I have a stock of at least 50 raw herbs and 20 patents...lol and that's just for my self use!

I think I have enough to start dispensing though *lol.

*gushes with pride inside* ;)
