Remembrance: <\/span><\/h1>\n

Give Us This Day Our Daily Med<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"nadia<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Here in Hawaii, we\u2019re blessed to have from our backyard, views of Auntie Pele, pouring into the ocean.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Pele destroys whatever\u2019s in her path, and at the same time gives birth to the newest land on earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In the wake of the bombs of the Boston Marathon, to the wake of the bombs of child soldiers in Africa, to the \u201cbombs\u201d each and every one of us, are being called to wake up to \u2013 especially for our children, Mother Earth, families, & more\u00a0 – what is it time to offer to Pele, to be burned away? What is it time to give birth to? What is the real medicine?<\/span><\/p>\n

As citizens of humanity, how do we each somehow find the sweet fire within ourselves, to make \u201cpono\u201d whatever\u2019s before us, no matter what? Pono in Hawaiian, means to make \u201cright\u201d or \u201cstraight.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As a physician and mom, when I meditatively ground, center, and anchor myself within, to that \u201cstill\u201d \u201czero,\u201d\u00a0 \u201cin the zone,\u201d \u201cflow\u201d state of simply Being, doing my best to breathe each breath into the present moment of NOW, my kids, my patients, my staff, and even my EKG machine, wordlessly shift as well.<\/p>\n

In medical school, rather than studying meditation, I chose to experience it. My 1st<\/sup> meditation teacher was a Yale PhD. biochemist, Dr Spector,\u00a0 who taught us to breathe consciously into our hearts. (Heart Qi, Mar\/April 2012)\u00a0 Dr Wilson, a Duke University Christian psychiatrist, taught us to give thanks constantly, no matter what, and simply trust the blessings in disguise. For both Dr Spector and Dr Wilson, the real medicine, is of course, Unconditional Love.<\/p>\n

Teachers I\u2019ve since mentored with have included \u201cmasters\u201d in vipassana, mindfulness, body awareness, authentic movement, visualization, guided imagry,\u00a0 BPI, sounding, chanting, dance, tantra, Daoism, Buddhism, Oneness, Ho\u2019oponopono, centering prayer, of course QiGong, and more.<\/p>\n

While studies abound on the unarguable benefits of meditation, the meditative process is not always easy, or pleasant. For much of my first 10-day silent meditation retreat, I wanted to crawl out of my skin. On the 1st day of my 21-day silent retreat, I passed out, violently ill. Purging the unconscious can be overwhelming.<\/p>\n

Holy Shift!\u00a0 How are we to handle the effects of Earth and solar changes, gamma rays, etc on our psyche? (Yin Yang of Solar Flares, May June 2012)\u00a0 How to find stillness amidst chaos? How to transform pain into awakening? How to bring peace to ALL our relationships, especially our relationship with ourselves? (Joyeux Noel, Jan 2012) How to awaken our own inner knowing, innate wisdom, sleeping dragons, and the healer within? How to reconnect to Source, and remember who we truly are? Our Purpose? Passion? Loves & bliss?\u00a0 How to tap into the collective consciousness, and effect real Change?<\/p>\n

Clinically, as a physician, one of the most powerful meditation tools I\u2019ve experienced is a practice called the Remembrance. For a series of 350 consecutive patients who presented with complains of pain, we shared the Remembrance. Without touch or any other intervention besides the Remembrance, 349 reported, after only one session, significant relief of their pain.<\/p>\n

\"nadia<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

What is the Remembrance?\u00a0 Experientially, make each breath Sacred.\u00a0 Intentionally breathe each breath into your heart, some name or quality fo the Divine, via a Qigong belly breath.\u00a0 Without judgment, give yourself permission to authentically feel whatever\u2019s so.\u00a0 Breathe in \u201cgood\u201d Qi. Breathe out \u201cbad\u201d and \u201cstuck\u201d Qi.\u00a0 Focus on receiving.\u00a0 Allow the Qi to naturally cleanse and free you.\u00a0 With each , start remembering the Love, & the Light that you truly are. (Holy Shift Dec 2011)<\/p>\n

Beware, by the way, of any meditative practice which insidiously has you deny your feelings with instructions e.g. to \u201cfocus only on joy.\u201d\u00a0 Beware of dissociating from your authentic feelings no matter what. Remember – gotta feel to heal.\u00a0 Trust the Qi<\/p>\n

Besides relief of physical pain, people who practice Remembrance, usually report life questions and challenges answered as well, often with transformative life changes.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Children, family, and intimate friends, especially significant others, are of course our greatest teachers.\u00a0 Remember to give thanks for all they mirror back to you, no matter how uncomfortable\u00a0 you may feel.\u00a0 As a world class \u201csurfing Qi\u201d friend Nigel Butler puts it, simply \u201cmake every breath a coming home, whole body, heart, breath.\u201d\u00a0 Breathe into whatever feelings you may have, trusting that all\u2019s somehow in Divine order, perfect as is.\u00a0 Let go, let God, let Love.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of family and friends, one of our favorite past times is to hike over the lava, out to Pele, with those we care for, in a meditative walk, to see before our own eyes Pele pouring her live lava into the ocean, birthing the newest land on earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"nadia<\/a><\/p>\n

Each step to Pele is a prayer to let go of anything and everything that no longer serves you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each step from Pele, is a prayer for this step to be the first step of the rest of your life, best of your life, & allow new life to be born through you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each step to or from Pele demands, still-mind, full-body attention, as one miss-step on lava, in a heartbeat, can easily draw blood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, for Pele, there are no obstacles. Faced with a seeming \u201cobstacle,\u201d Pele doesn\u2019t stop. She simply goes higher, or wider.\u00a0 On the flip side, out of rock hard black lava, grow vibrant greenery and sapling coconuts.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the unprecedented challenges facing us\u00a0 nowadays, what is the real medicine?\u00a0 Besides the healing power of love, \u201cGive us this day our daily med\u2026\u00a0 \u201c From Aramaic, another possible translation of this line of the Lord\u2019s prayer is \u201cGrow through us, each moment, this moment\u2019s light, insight, & wisdom.\u201d (Prayers of the Cosmos, Neil Douglas-Klotz).<\/span><\/p>\n

In Remembrance, as the sun rises over the ocean of Pele\u2019s glow, another day begins.\u00a0 Happy Qi! Love, & Blessed Be. (Sept-Oct 2012)<\/span><\/p>\n

As a man thinks, so he is <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

B<\/span>lessed are the cracked, for they let in the light \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

A merry heart doeth good medicine make\u2026<\/p>\n

The way that can be spoken is not the way<\/p>\n

As light gets lighter, dark gets darker\u2026<\/p>\n

The children will lead the way\u2026<\/p>\n
