As we begin a new year we will be faced with new challenges, new decisions and ultimately new choices for ourselves and possibly for others as well. Hopefully these choices will be opportunities for growth and to better our lives. There will be challenges that we have no control over but still leave us with choices that can alter our lives significantly. The beauty of choice is that if we do not like the choice we made then we have the right and the ability to choose again.
The Ki Center has been open for a year in its present location in Gresham. During this time I have observed some remarkable healings take place. People with long term medical problems have gotten better and some are completely healed. Nothing I have done can compare with the one dynamic that is essential to wellness and that I have no control over. When people make a choice to get better and are willing to do what it takes to make it happen, there is nothing that can get in their way.
Alternative and Traditonal Medicine
I have had the opportunity to review many studies published by various medical organizations both traditional and alternative. The interesting thing about studies is that no matter what the subject matter and depending on your intended goal, you can hire someone to say whatever you need and tailor the report to fit your marketing needs. There is one variable however in all of these reports that cannot be factored in or defined by any scientific means. It cannot be compartmentalized by formulas or chemical description. It defies definition by Western medicine and is so wildly unpredictable that it often times is ignored in the whole process of getting well. That variable is the power of the human spirit.
I am sure you have heard stories of people making remarkable recoveries from cancer, debilitating injuries and extreme mental problems that defied the medical establishments’ ability to explain it. On the reverse we have seen people who ultimately just give up and by all rights and medical convention should have gotten better but didn’t. The difference of course is the individual. What choices did they make? What part of their mental attitude made them dig their heels in and refuse to give up? I don’t need a medical definition to realize that the human spirit can and will perform miracles all the time.
My mother always used to tell me that I can do anything if I just put my mind to it. How true this has become for not only me but hundreds of ailing clients over the past year.
Past Experiences
l'll share one experience with you of a client who was experiencing a terrible case of psoriasis. I followed all the usual holistic approaches to helping this person. Dealt with the detoxification issues, supported the liver and skin and addressed the digestive problems associated with this terrible condition. From an alternative approach you must remember that psoriasis is a symptom and not a stand alone disease. We were able to get some relief right away and a significant amount of improvement in the physical symptoms but it would keep flaring up and would never go away completely. For those of you familiar with this problem you know the amount of mental anguish that these people can go through. Once the emotional component was targeted and she was able to feel better emotionally as well as physically her attitude and her spirit was super charged. She had been having problems with this condition for over twenty years and once she saw light at the end of the tunnel her own body, with the help of good nutritional tools and Rapid Eye Therapy made the connection to achieve balance and she got well.
It took about six months to get to this point of her skin being clear and to be sure we came across some hurdles and bumps in the road. The amazing thing about this story is that before coming to the Ki Center she had been working with a research Dermatologist who of course was going through several different medications both approved and experimental. Nothing seemed to work however until natural protocols were used to bring her back into balance chemically and Rapid Eye Therapy was used to bring emotional balance.
None of this could have been accomplished if she had not made the conscious choice to get better. She choose to make changes in her life and once she saw physical improvement her mental attitude, her spirit if you will, was determined to be healthy and she would not settle for anything less. And it worked.
I would like to wish you all the best for the New Year and offer you a challenge. If you don’t like where you are at in your life right now then please choose again, it’s your right.
