Balance and Harmony
Between Our Inner Selves and Our Environment. In order to live in harmony with
our environment we must accept natures changes with an open mind. This includes
the ability to accept the opportunities that are given to us, and letting go
of the opportunities which may have been taken away. First we must accept that as our
minds fate is to evolve into a higher and broader consciousness, at the same
time our body’s fate is to move towards death. This creates a conflict within. We must recognize, accept, and deal with
this double direction before the conflict within us becomes too great. We trap ourselves habitually in
the way we view our self and the world around us, this prevents opportunity
for positive change. The belief that
familiarity is comfort, and change is discomfort, locks us into conflict with
nature’s natural evolution. One may
find security in repeating old patterns, but on the other hand, the
repetition of these old patterns may also define
their discomfort. “We let our inner reality create
our outer reality even if it is un-healthy, usually for just the sake of
continuing what we know.” Our body, our mind, and our
behaviour are all affected by the external situations we encounter. Our
perceived reality is controlled by the way we allow that situation to effect
us. We may confuse our personal
reactions with what is happening in “real life”, but in reality it is only
our illusion of what is actually happening.
Depending on our attitude to any one situation presented to us, we can
either choose to learn from it, making it a positive and growing experience,
or we can play victim to it allowing it to become a negative one. “Your fate is controlled by your
character, your character is controlled by your innate and conscious choices” “If we want happiness, poise and
harmony, we must actively follow a path that will bring these particular
things to us. One must use
consciousness to discern what is needed, and then just as consciously, work
toward making those changes happen.” Quotations from Qi Journal; winter edition 2002-2003,

It will be the
first government in At a ceremony at Although the
doctors won't be given equal footing to conventional western doctors, it's a
feat for the hundreds of traditional Chinese medicine doctors, who have been
fighting to legitimize the practice. PEACE. |
