What you focus on you create more of.

A change of focus:
Our healthcare system, whether it be traditional or alternative has become focused on treating the symptom or disease as if it is somehow separate from the human being the issue exists in. From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine a “disease” or symptom is simply a sign of imbalance in our state of thriving. When the mind and body are flourishing there is no symptom and our lives are limitless.
When we describe a “disease” we are simply putting words to a common imbalance in the mind or body, this helps us more quickly discover where the patient is struggling to thrive. Specific common imbalances tend to cause specific symptoms and by putting a name to the imbalance (disease) we can get a picture of a patients state of mental and physical thriving right away.
Each person struggles to thrive for their own individual reasons which means that the “cure” will be different for each person. This creates an endless number of lists telling you “this is good” or “this is bad” for you. How can you possibly figure out what you need or what you are missing when taken from the perspective?
How do you (personally, right now) find relief by focusing on health instead of disease?
By learning how to restore your own personal balance and bring yourself back to a state of thriving.
We will be taking you through specific symptoms and the common imbalances that cause symptoms. You will learn how to identify where you need to focus your personal attention. You will find suggestions from specialists in their field (including myself) helping you to recover and improve your state of thriving in your weak areas.
Your journey from surviving to thriving is a personal experience and I will be giving you a roadmap that gives you multiple routes (you get to choose!) that all lead to the same place…THRIVING!
Let’s do it!

*A final but very important note…any teaching can be simplified down to a few sentences or a brief concept and this is our “elevator pitch”. This has become the standard for marketing and for much of the information available online through blogs, Facebook, Instagram and others. While this has it’s own value there is a potential problem with this approach and that is that when we oversimplify, our minds “fill in the blanks” and each of us creates our own unique “story” of what we are learning. This doesn’t actually allow for new ideas or new perceptions but rather re-enforces what we EXPECT to learn. My hope with this blog is to help guide you to a new possibility in how you experience and relate to your health and well-being. To do this each post or page builds on what came before it. You do not need to understand or remember all of what you read on this blog. What “sticks” with you is all you need to move onto the next pages. Please do not overthink what you read, just relax and hang on for the ride.*
