Creating a Harmony Balanced Lifestyle

Change your mind, change your life.  If I am asking you to change your life style, you may not like it. If I am telling you, this change will allow you to become happier and healthier, are you going to change it?

I personally have experienced so many people suffering from headache, poor sleep, shoulder stiffness, no appetite, backache…………… , they have told me:  Sue I am very healthy, my blood pressure is not high, my blood shows I have nothing wrong…………

I am going to ask you, what are those symptoms you are suffering then?

It is true that if you go to see a western doctor, the tests may indicate there is nothing wrong with you and the doctor will resort to giving you panadol to help reduce the pain, or pills to help you sleep. In Chinese Medicine, it is very wrong, all those symptoms show that you are either yin or yang and not balanced , which causes your meridians to be blocked somewhere, causing the pain.   A good example of imbalance is sleep disorder – either sleeping too much or not able to sleep.

Those symptoms are caused from long term irregular life style – not having enough to do, thinking too much, or long term chronic stress.   Often people with an irregular lifestyle refuse to listen and communicate with their mind and body, they know on some level that they should take action, but they do not want to change their current life style or refuse to change themselves.  They just simply ignore themselves, and keep on suffering till they become sick or end up lying in bed.

I have been advised by so many people including my family members, such as alcoholics, that when they are suffering in bed, the doctor will advice them to stop and they all can stop alcohol, but sadly they can only live in bed for the rest of their lives as the damage has already been done.   

Chronic diseases like cancer, high blood pressure and faulty arteries do not happen in one day.  They are the result of long term chronic stress with symptoms that gradually appear and increase and may change day by day.  It may be likened to an apple that appears to be bit rotten on the surface, it has  not changed the quality of the whole apple yet, but you should pay attention on it.  Once the whole apple turns rotten, or 1/3 of it turns rotten, it may effect the cells of the whole apple.  Even tasting the non rotten part of the apple, is already likely to taste horrible.   Even though one half of the apple looks good, the bad cells have already developed and the sickness has taken place. Once your blood shows it is wrong, you are sick.  Once you have put the head of sickness on you, it is not easy to take it off.

Chinese medicine studies the regulation of nature, monitoring the quantity change, not quality change.   Once you have the symptoms of disease, I strongly suggest you pay attention to them and take action to change your life style.
