Stumbled into a traditional chinese herbal tea stall 凉茶铺 in KL and ordered a herbal tea which came out of this golden tapper. The aroma of the herbs brewing, so comforting and nostalgic!

Deeply grateful to my brother Johan Hausen for this sacred gift of 道 Dao. His calligraphy radiates Shen, gracing my space of stillness and reflection.

"It is more empowering to love than to be loved"

To love truly -
from an authentic, self-knowing place,
is empowering.
It is creative, alive, and ever-flowing.

Without needing to possess,
without needing it to be returned,
real love begins only when we are
whole within.

- R. Woo

This quote from Mencius is a powerful reminder I hold close when I have hit rock bottom or face my toughest challenges. No matter how unbearable the struggle feels, it’s not without reason, but divine preparation for something far greater - a shaping of what we are truly capable of.

DIRECT EAR MOXA

A grain sized moxa, glowing bright,
Placed on an ear point, sparking the light,
Down his spine where the cold once lay,
It eased the back pain and cleared it away.

"Life is like a musical instrument, how well do you want to play it?"

Life, like any instrument-
You must care for it, tune it, play it with your whole being.

An out-of-tune song,
Or a breathtaking masterpiece,
Is entirely up to you.

- R. Woo

🎻 What does your life sound like lately?
💫 Tag someone whose life is a masterpiece in progress.

Causes of prolonged disease:

1. Patients do not abide by the doctor’s instructions. There are no prohibitions for etiquette and conduct. Ingestion of medicine does not fit in with the method, to the point of making it difficult to get rid of diseases;

2. Work and rest are inconsistent;

3. Desires and pleasure are immoderate;

4. Emotions are hard to control;

5. Diet is without constraints;

6. Living on grounds not meant for houses or that dwell from a Feng Shui perspective;

7. Interior arrangement without taboos;

8. Society’s partial and prejudiced understanding is hard to remove;

9. Family relationships are hard to resolve;

10. The stress and pressure in life is hard to disperse;

11. The old and everyday habits are hard to alter;

12. Lack of cultivation of the Way and Virtue, lack of reverence;

13. Self-profit comes first;

14. Disbelief in Cause-and-Effect; disobeying Heaven, going against the Dao, to the point of making Heaven lose its calculations for life. Herbs and minerals have difficulty to cure, spirits and ghosts do not agree to heal.

15. Seeking the doctor not genuinely. In emergency situations patients anxiously and blindly trust in the doctor. Under acute pain, patients seek medicine disorderly.
