'Starving yogi' astounds Indian scientists

News report by AFP on an 83-year-old Indian holy man who says he has spent 70 years without food or water has astounded a team of military doctors. They conducted a 2 week intensive medical observation on him. Prahlad Jani spent a fortnight in a hospital in the western India state of Gujarat under constant surveillance from a team of 30 medics equipped with cameras and closed circuit television. During the period, he neither ate nor drank and did not go to the toilet.

Did they find an answer to his survival skills? No.

"We still do not know how he survives," neurologist Sudhir Shah told reporters after the end of the experiment. "It is still a mystery what kind of phenomenon this is."

Did they offer an explanation? Yes.

"If Jani does not derive energy from food and water, he must be doing that from energy sources around him, sunlight being one," said Shah.

"As medical practitioners we cannot shut our eyes to possibilities, to a source of energy other than calories."

Wow! That is commendable. To admit that the only possible conclusion is another source of energy. This came from the mouth of a neurologist who is a scientist a medical officer! Surely he will be burn at the stake for such blasphemous comments by the medical fraternity. But you say his conclusion was from scientific, medical observation. So what, anything that goes against the sacred medical teachings of medical science need to be debunk regardless of evidence. Maybe as one Dr.Van Rooyen sarcastically implied, "You can hold a lot of water in those yogi beards. A sneaky yogi for certain," he said. "He MUST take in water." You mean 30 medics with hi-tech CCTV and equipment could not detect a cheat or are they co-conspirators that are willing to lose their medical license for a joke and they missed April the 1st. Another sceptic said, 'He might be hiding a burger under his beard!" Now that would make a good McDonald advertisement. Hello, advert boys -WAKE UP.
So what other energy sources around him can we think of? 'Sunlight' the doctor suggested. No, he did not mean photosynthesis or his skin colour will match the incredible hulk.

The answer is :
We are basically energy beings made up of atoms and vibrating electrons and neutrons. We have a body that is described as bio-electomagnetic. Our brains fire electrical impulses through neurotransmitters that links to networks of electrical pathways. There exist a close circuit energy system 'meridians' in our body that helps our body to function at optimal health. Disturbance of these circuits will disrupt our health system. Energy healers using reiki, qigong, pranic healing, acupuncture and many other new therapies like energy psychology (www.eftwonder.com) have found a faster non invasive form of healing by accessing these meridians. As energy beings we are able to absorb electromagnetic energy around us from the earth's energy field or space which bombards earth with enormous quantities of energy like the sun. There will come a time when medical science will come to 'discover' it and maybe taking credit for it. They may probably attach some other medically bombastic name to disguised it. They are so shy and it takes time to be associated with energy healing. Give them space.

TRIGGER HAPPY

TRIGGER HAPPY?

My mum came to me with her right index finger unable to close and extend smoothly. It was like a stiff gear shift getting stuck at third or fouth gear. It was funny looking as she could close all her fingers but when she open her fingers the index finger refused to cooperate while the rest extended fully. Sometimes it will flex midway and just gets stuck. This medical condition is call 'trigger finger 'or 'stenosing tenosynovitis ' whiich I will not attempt to pronounce in case I get 'trigger tonque'.

Trigger finger is caused by local swelling from inflammation or scarring around the tendons that normally pull the affected digit inward toward the palm (flexion). Pain can occur at the base of the finger of palm itself. A majority of patients with rheumatoid arthritis have inflammation around the tendons of the palm of the hand that could develop into trigger finger.

I used medical qigong to loosen the tendons by reducing the inflamation from the tip of the affected finger to the base of the palm. After 20 minutes the pain was gone and the finger movement was loosen but there was still occasional stuck movement. The next session the finger could extend without getting stuck but some stiffness came back. After the third session there was no longer stiffness and she could repeatedly close and extend her fingers without problem. The treatment was basically to reduce the swelling so that it no longer 'grips' the finger from extending. Qigong is very impressive when applied for swelling. I had a case when this women came with her left leg swollen all the way to her thigh. After 30 minutes  she could  squat and stand up and her swelling had reduced by 30%.  She soon recovered after 2 sessions but her children did not believe such results were possible even with their mother's testimony. Well I guess seeing is believing (her children did not see her original condition).

My retirement home doctor one day came with his hand partly bandaged. He had a minor surgery for trigger finger. He said  he normally treats his patients with drugs and cortisal injection around the tendons (ouch!) but it did not work for him. When a trigger finger persists after two injections and is not responsive, surgical procedures to ultimately remove the inflamed or scarred tissue are considered. Now you may have a painless option before going for  injections or even surgery - medical qigong! Trigger Happy!

WHAT MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND? ANSWER-EMOTIONS

What makes the world go round? The economist wills say money, the religious will say god, the philosopher will say our intellect and knowledge but as a therapist I must say it's our emotions. This is because money, religion and knowledge are all rooted in emotions. What emotions are we specifically speaking about? Only two emotions- Fear and Love.


Even though there are hundreds of emotions and another few hundred more sub emotions. Fear and Love are their commanders. Every other emotion is subservient to these two powerful emotions. Money for example invokes tremendous emotional response. People rob and kill for it, why? Money is about feeling secure. Lost of financial security invokes an acute sense of anxiety and helplessness. This fear of insecurity will drive people to commit acts that go beyond logic as it is an emotional response to fears. The Bible rightly says 'The love for money is the root of all evil" and how accurate it is as it identifies emotions (love as in coveting) as the culprit not money itself which has no emotions in itself.

Everything we do is based on fear and love both emotions are as unpredictable and volatile as the floating continental plates that we stand on. The question we should ask ourselves is which of the two most dominates our thoughts and actions for that would create in our mind the world we live in? Note the question is never, 'Are we emotional' for as Dale Carnegie puts it, "When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion". The real undiluted question is 'Are we controlled by fear or love for that will be our world?'

The fearful person will dominate and control as he is constantly afraid of losing control of his own destiny and environment. He wants to know everything that is going on and is often a perfectionist. He needs order and demands it. He wants others to fear him for he controls them by manipulating their fears. He is often the politician and judge. He is the law and lawmaker yet not under its mandate. He is egoistic and selfish but will give generously to gain control. Yet he has a need to experience love for he keeps everyone at arms length emotionally. His personal space is as big as his fears. He fears exposing his need for love (as any human being needs it to be human). It creates a tension that makes personal relationships a roller coaster.

The loving person is subjected to pleasing others before himself. There is a need to nurture and cultivate relationships so as to foster an exchange of love. He is the philosopher and philanthropist. Happiness is found in bringing joy to others. He is an idealist and often initiates ideas and proposal on the spur of the moment without looking for 'What if's'. He jumps on opportunities and relationships. He is intimate and loves to share his personal space. Socially he is warm and open. All this exposes him to lots of bumps which can slow him down and bring him back to earth. He has fears too and it is in not being able to be who he is and not experiencing love. He needs to express himself and fears being stifled by negativism. He is creative and imaginative. His personal relationships are open and expressive. Unless the partner can keep up with him she will feel drain by his enthusiasm, idealism and need for expressive love.

The world is what it is today because of how we allow these two emotions to dominate and colour our lives.
Do you like the world as it is today? You are responsible for what it has become. To bring changes we need to allow love to turn the world not fear. Fear rules the world today. Peace is now maintained at the barrel of a gun. We believe fear must rule to maintain order. The world has become a fearful world and anxious. If the loving person sounds to you like a myth and unreal then we are really in trouble.

TOM JONES ALIVE AND KICKING IN KL!

TOM JONES LIVE! IN KL!

TOM JONES LIVE! IN KL! While I was turning the page in my morning papers these words in bold jump out at me. My involuntary reaction was ‘You mean he is still ALIVE!’ Yes, not only are we able to see him in person we can also ‘Walk ….I mean rock with dinosaurs’. Sorry I did not mean to be rude but after Michael Jackson’s death I am still trying to get over it. It’s not that I idolize them but that they are iconic figures that mark the milestones of my past and as each milestone disappears I feel an unexplained lost of my history a strange detachment from my past childhood days.

Tom Jones is a legend. That itself makes it sound archaic and ancient. I remembered how handsome he looked and that husky deep baritone voice could send woman screaming like banshees for him. Today’s photo of him is that of a shaggy craggy looking man that reminds me of a ship captain. Yet the most important aspect is not his age but his amazing ability to perform for hours to a live audience. You have to be lively on stage in order to keep the live audience alive. What is his secret to eternal youthfulness and that of other singing legends that are still prancing around? How is it that Elvis Pelvis and Micky Jackson (in order to avoid offending any legends and their fans I will not use their real names) did not survive while others like Cliff Riches, Alter John, John Lemon, Rock Stewart did? Do you want to know their secret?

I believe the secret in their ability to survive is in their names or what’s in front of their names. Did you notice that all the living legends are all called ‘SIR’? YES that is the common denominator they have all been knighted and given the title ‘SIR’ (I never thought that Rock Stewart a bad boy could be knighted). Notice that Elvis and Micky were never knighted. I wonder if her majesty uses a magic wand rather than a sword to confer eternal youthfulness. Now you know why she is still alive! Long live the queen.

HER-HOW TO HAVE ABS. HIM-HOW TO HAVE MORE ENERGY

There is a qigong exercise that I call the lazy persons qigong. It requires one to sleep on it. Yes just lie down and breath. It is also call the 2-4-2-6 diaphrammatic breathing exercise. It generally increase oxygen flow to the whole body. This results in rejunevation of cells and detox the body. Cancer patients weak and pale from chemo and other treatments will find this exercise amazing as their face will be reddish with a glow within a week. I use it when with the first signs of gout (which I inherited as genetic trait of high uric acid). About 3 times a year it makes me hop about like I was literally stepping on hot coals of fire. But with this exercise I can preempt it before it develops further. It helps with chi and blood circulation to remove the build up of uric acid in my toes. However when I taught my wife this excercise I did not expect another amazing benefit. She was doing it 2-3 times a day. About a week later she said she wanted to show me something.She lifted up her blouse and proudly showed off her .....abs! It was sculptered and firm but don't expect six packs. The fact that previously it was saggy (you know what child birth can do to your figures) and now this WOW! I did not realise this exercise is also good for figures. After the initial results which she proudly showed off to her sisters she continue religiously and now her posture is great when before it was a little haunched and her chest lifted. She looks simply great. We joked how we could teach it to others, "Girls do you want a great figure? Just come to our slimming qigong classes".

I had been driving to Kuala Pilah  every two weeks to visit my daughter in her NS camp. I seldom travel far perhaps once a year for a holiday.The journey takes 4 hours to and fro. At the end of the journey I was like puff out and dead tired. My age is catching up. This morning I was already feeling tired before the journey and decided to do EFT on this tiredness. This anxiety that I may feel tired during the journey and I tapped for not feeling tired but energize. I was so surprised to find myself so energized that when I reached home I even volunteered to cook for the family and after which I did my EFT exam studies on DVD. Normally if I am exhausted I would fall asleep watching those how to videos but not today.WOW! EFT sure is great when you need more energy.

A MOTHERS SUFFERING & MORE SUFFERINGS.

Mothers will always be mothers. Their maternal instinct does not end when her child turns 18, flies away from the nest, becomes employed or even find a nice girl and settles down. They still fret and worry anxiously about their children. I have under my care some mothers who are already in their 80's yet they constantly worry about their children who are married and with their own families! Nature can be cruel but I guess without mothers most children would not have survived on their own. We do owe them a great depth of appreciation for all they are willing to give up for the childrens sake.

The problem arise when mothers expects appreciation to be their due. They become sensitive when their children fails to buy them a meal. When the children fails to call them up. When their children fails to visit them as often as they expect. That is when they become angry feeling that they are not appreciated after all the sacrifices they had given. They become resentful and small words becomes big issues as it is interpreted through the lens of ungratefulness.

I had to do EFT for my own mum today as she though my brother wanted her out off the way by asking, 'Are you going back?' From a mole hill she turns it into a pyramid overnight. To achieve what Pharoahs took to accomplish a lifetime she churns her mind and emotion with intrusive angry thoughts the whole night. By morning she is an emotional wreak fuming from the ears and pouring from the eyes with self pity. Physically she was having body pains because of tense muscles and block energies. I had to do EFT on her and within 20 minutes she become more normal followed by qigong. EFT was already able to reduce her physical pain by 80% as it was mostly due to emotions. She said she felt more relax after the session. Her anger was gone replaced by forgiveness. I believe my brother owes me:)

At noon my staff came to me for shoulder pain that extend from right side of her neck to the elbow. She had difficulty sleeping and took pain killers that relieved her for a while. I believe those pain killers from Indonesia contains steroid. She said she was shy to come to me earlier. How people suffer for shyness sake simply beats me. In 10 minutes I healed her with qigong. She had a block nerve in her shoulder that cut off the circulation to her arms and it was cold and clammy to the touch. Why suffer the whole night and morning for shyness sake when you caould rid the pain in 10 minutes?

WHATS' UP?

WHATS' UP?

I remember Bugs Bunny favourite greetings that came with that bored so-what look. You know , the one with the drooping eyelids and crossed legs complete with carrot munching as he drawl 'Whats' up doc?' Well, plenty is up if you are wondering what I am up to.

Since last September my qigong group of medical practitioners had been visiting a home for the handicapped. Little twisted bodies lie on the floor mat writhing away with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and other deforming diseases. We send energies to these little ones which made them more comfortable and reduce their discomfort and pain. The care givers and workers in the home also benefitted from our compassionate healing. A Bangladeshi man in his 30's stocky and healthy came to me with an injured left elbow. It was painful when I tried bending it. He had difficulty carrying these helpless children since he was involved in a motorbike accident 3-4 months ago.

I scanned his arm and unblock the stuck energy from his shoulder to elbow and sweep it down his hand. I proceeded to energize his elbow feeling for his nerves to respond as it twitch and vibrate. After ten minutes I tested his arm again and he said 'no pain'. He gave me a big grin and the thumbs up. It's nice to be appreciated even if he lacks the verbal skills. His sincerity and gratitude came from his heart which was more eloquent than those who try to flatter you with flowery words.

I also had clients coming to my therapy office with emotional scars. Their physical scars are long gone after corrective surgery but no plastic surgeon could remove the emotional scars in their hearts and mind. After the first EFT session she already reported significant healing and progressing well after each session.

Another interesting case was a women who worked for an international woman aid agency and she had to face women who had terrible traumatic experiences. Unless you have a heart of stone you will be affected by all the horrors they tell you. I had to install an emotional proof vest on her so that she would not be too disturbed as it was affecting her ability to focus on her career and it was giving her nightmares. She felt their pain and I had to also teach her to tap on her collar bone point as she listen to their shocking stories. It neutralizes negative energies from entering her body. Many people think it is okay to pour their bitterness and angst to others who will listen. Little do they realise that some people will feel their pain and while they themselves feel better the other party suffers for hours to come. If they know EFT they could resolve many emotional issues themselves without involving others. Those who possess a caring heart and just could not say no to the troubled soul who must unload their problems on someone could use EFT to neutralize negative energies that are being unloaded by simply tapping on the collarbone point while listening on the phone. The most ideal suggestion is learn EFT the proper way and it is easy to learn . A one day workshop is all you need. Being kind need not be painful.
