The Marrying of Left & Right Brain

Would you Support the development of a "bionic" person? I am going to have to say... NO, I would not support the development of a "bionic" person.  I understand the mind of an engineer and those interested in robotics, but I wish those minds could be used for something more beneficial to society.  Watching the direction our corporations and factories have gone with technology replacing the jobs needed by human beings is horrifying.  We have so many people on our planet living far below the poverty line, yet corporations are using technology to not have to pay for a minimum wage or health insurance.  My fear, if we create a bionic person, is that we will continue to replace modes of making a living for those in need.  Based on human beings' actions of greed without thinking about the long term repercussions, we'll likely have bionic people roaming around out of control... which is an extremely scary thought.  We have so many more important issues that we ...

::I know I'm a "Living System" because...:: I survive on the oxygen that is produced by trees.  Those trees are produced by the earth, by water, and by sunlight.  I survive on water just like the trees do, in fact my body is 60% water.  The other mode of survival is eating and gaining energy from other living systems like plants and animals.  I am a living system because those like me (aka other human beings) are living systems. ::Acupuncture as an Effective Energy Medicine:: This is a topic that could be talked about for days, and there would continuously be different ideas and different ways to talk about the energetics of acupuncture.  As I wrote in my self reflection from this week, I remember my first experience with acupuncture, and being amazed that my ailments were cured in 3 or 4 sessions.  I remember saying "it could be a placebo affect, but even if it is... who cares?!" because it works.  In my past year of education however, I've l...

How Might Sacred Geometry & Classical Physics Assist you in your Practice of Medicine? Learning about classic physics and sacred geometry can help greatly in the practice of healing, especially in Chinese Medicine.  Classical physics incorporates connectedness to the universe, to the past, to nature, to those around us, and to ourselves.  It helps us understand that a symptom isn't a singular thing, but one that is connected to the larger microcosm or macrocosm.  Sacred Geometry holds an ancient wisdom of similar connectedness to the universe and everything within it.  Within it we can find patterns of the mind, body, and spirits connection to nature.  All of this knowledge and understanding can only benefit our healing practices when seeing how our patient fits into these patterns.  My E-Prime Day The sun behaves as an alarm clock in the morning, Its beams of light seem to penetrate through my eyelids.

::Ordered Chaos:: Ordered chaos is a very familiar concept to me.  The first time I used this term was when I was living in Hanoi, Vietnam.  When you first arrive to the city and experience the motorbikes zooming past with what looks like no rules or regulations, you think - CHAOS .  You think to yourself, how will I ever cross the street without getting hit.  But then you watch a local cross the street and you see everyone swerving around them.  As long as one is confident and consistent in their stride, the sea of motorbikes will see you through.   I experienced the same idea even stronger when I started to drive myself around the city.  From an outsiders' perspective, nothing seems more chaotic than the the traffic in Hanoi.  However, like a massive school of fish, the traffic there is nothing other than organized chaos.  There are less rules and no lanes, but you're able to stay safe if you're in constant flow of those around ...

First off, I LOVE the word loafing . I am so thankful to Larry for introducing me to the word and concept.  When I think of the word, I imagine a picture I saw of an chunky orange cat among loafs of bread.  Cats are the ultimate loafers. It took me a few days for my indecisive self to finally say " YES " to joining two of my friends on a mini backpacking trip by the Yuba river.  I was hesitant as I looked at my list of school work to attend to - but ultimately decided, my soul needed it ! And I printed & brought herbology reading with me :) Getting out of the city and being one with nature was so needed.  We went the wrong direction to start, making our trip 3x as long (with heavy backpacks), allowing for movement and sweat my body was yearning to release. We loafed around the fire, we loafed in the sunshine, we loafed as we jumped off of rocks and into the river.  Glorious loafing with my best friends.

::Are all vibrations "good" ?:: Vibrations are such a strong force.  They are the strongest force I have ever felt.  Some of the strongest vibrations can be difficult to explain because they aren't something you can see or something you can touch.  There are a lot of "bad" or negative vibrations constantly within the good.  Sometimes they bad are much stronger, while other times the good vibrations prevail.  I few this relationship as something similar to the theory of Yin and Yang.  There is always a seed of positive vibration within the negative.  This is obvious to me in the state of our country today: vibrations are extremely heavy, with lots of negativity coming from our government, from violence, from racism.  However, the seed of goodness, retaliation, fighting for justice and for change lies within.  The "good" vibrational seed is growing.  ::Resonance in my world:: I've been relating resonance in my world to the idea of...
