Comment on Meaninglessness Of Words

michele — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 13:26:08 GMT

I received my book just in time for a good Thanksgiving holiday read. It is pretty amazing. It distills the essence of much spiritual and religious writings and challenges the reader to examine the energy of their own thinking...and how this energy affects their lives.
I didn't quite know what to expect when I first read the title, but I now think how appropriate it is as I look at world events unfolding.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Comment on AutoImmune Disorders Worse in Fall and Winter

Ted Cibik — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 08:52:45 GMT

As a 89th generation Taoist physician and priest, I believe that when someone comes to me, it is from a place of affinity - in other words they were meant to come to me for whatever reason. Sometimes that reason is because I have a health care solution, sometimes it is to point them in another direction, and other times it is just to speak to them with compassion.

I am a client of Peter and Joanne S. in Geneseo NY. I have spoken to them many times and have heard so many good things about you and what y ou have to offer not only practioners but lay people as well. I am interested in taking your classes but more importantly I need to somehow speak with you about my health...probably more mental than anyhting. But I do have hypothyroidism and JRA and for the past 11 years(the hypo---) has not been regulated. I am looking for better health and if I don't do something to better myself then I know my life will be cut short. Can y ou help me?

I did not find anything negative in this article either, but the phrase that did stand out for me was that the phrase "alternative medicine" ....."makes my blood boil". That's quite a bit more feisty than I have heard you use in the classes I have had with you.
When I came to Inner Strength, I was truly looking for an alternative to conventional medicine and way of thinking that I had been partaking of which did not help my health and wellbeing, but rather kept me in a perpetual state of being ill. And the alternative that I needed was what I found. So that word doesn't hold the negative emotional charge it does for you. Rather it describes my journey.
And as a someone who is now a consistent QiGong practitioner, I think that the ability to understand the concept of Integrating practices only happens when you experience it for yourself on a non-intellectual level.

I agree with Kristie's comments. In addition, I've heard a little of Ted's history in the past and I enjoy learning more about what brought him to the strong point where he is today. There is on occasion great passion in his words--deep resonance, not positive or negative. I believe his passion is inspired by his past experience and duly focused.... Ted said, "...healing happens from within. Medicine can augment the healing process, but it cannot do it alone... When we begin to stop segregation of medicine, embrace humanity and become pro-active and accountable in our own healthcare – we will begin to heal the true diseases of prejudice and separation." This really sums up what I gathered from his articles.

Sorry Peter, I did not sense this was a negative perspective. It felt like a personal report of history to illustrate the point of seeing all medicine as complimentary, and to gently introduce this idea to anyone reading.

good blog with facts and information and these are things that are often overlooked in cases of Asthma. Suggests that increase exposure can either depress or instigate immune response that can trigger an asthsmatic episode

Yes, we are constantly getting new subscribers from around the globe who do not know me, but glad to have a few of the "old timers" on board as well.

It is interesting that you see some of the articles that way......

Blessings
