Inner Cultivation is a Journey!
We begin reacting to our environment.
Then we move from the outside towards the inside.
Often we find some experiences that want to move from the inside back to the outside.
And, finally, we can reside on the inside, moving inward to the center and source, while merging completely with existence.
over and over...

What if you could restore your embodied authenticity?
What if you could release your somatic, emotional, and existential pain?

Why is a Doctor Teaching Embodied Meditation?
Medications, Diets, and Supplements are not always what we need the most!
I have been a front-line Integrative Medicine clinician for 30 years.
Many diagnosable conditions are not getting better for a lot of people – even if they eat carefully and take a dedicated counter’s worth of supplements every day.
After 30 years, I am certain that Embodied Awareness Practices (Qi Gong, Yoga, Tai Chi) and some form of stillness meditation are as essential to life as essential fatty acids.

Have you ever heard the expression, "The obstacle is the path"?
Do you practice Qi Gong, Yoga, or Tai Chi?
Do you have a regular meditation practice?
Have you ever felt ‘stuck’ with your practice?
Today, for the first time, I tried asking an AI a question…

According to an AI – “Spiritual obstacles are inner or outer hindrances that impede one's faith journey, connection with the divine, or spiritual growth. Common obstacles include internal factors like pride, fear, doubt, sin, and spiritual dryness, as well as external factors such as distractions, busyness, unhealthy relationships, and worldly desires. Overcoming these involves consistent spiritual practices like prayer and scripture study, seeking guidance, and consciously shifting focus away from distractions toward spiritual development.”
That seems like a good start – for two reasons…
