When asked what a well-educated woman considers her greatest health hazard, 9 out of 10 times her answer will be breast cancer.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has been practiced for thousands of years and contains five branches of healing.  While most of us know of the benefits of acupuncture, we don't realize that acupuncture is one branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine.  And, we don't often hear about another branch - Chinese herbal medicine.  The Cleveland Clinic has taken a ground-breaking step and introduced Chinese herbal medicine as a routinely available system of care. Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Northwestern University and North Shore University Health System, affiliated with the University of Chicago, both include Chinese herbal medicine among their offerings.  Take a look at this linked, April, 2014, article from the Wall Street Journal; it describes what the Cleveland Clinic is doing.  

In this thought-provoking YouTube video, world-renowned homeopath, Rajan Sankaran, MD, discusses homeopathy and self-healing. He points out the need for individualization of care with each and every homeopathic client, as well as need for the client's own self-reflection and desire to make a change. In most states of dis-ease, the client speaks a "language" pointing to a broader state of distress, and in the homeopathic consultation, the client and homeopath work together to understand this broader experience. Nature, in turn, has very, very specific answers for the different dilemmas we find ourselves in, and homeopathic remedies are matched with these dilemmas. In concert with our own desire for healing, the ultimate aim for a remedy is self-healing on all levels of being, such that we're free to pursue 'the higher purposes of our existence'.

Find out what Hollis can teach us about creating a life and finding our path, a pragmatic guide to individuation-the creation of a meaningful life worthy of its soul.

When we experience pain or other health issues it is easy to feel like a victim. Another option is to look for the lessons as we consciously explore possible causes and contributing factors. 

What message is your body trying to give you? Do you pay attention and honor those messages, ignore and push through, or just give up?
