Philosophy of work

I work from my heart.  I genuinely work from the deep place within which knows all things, understands all things and loves all things.  So, to me that is what it is.  The truth is that.  The truth is only that for me.

What I want you to know about me

I did acupuncture for about 4 years and I understood acupuncture to the point that I do not need to do it any more.  My own inner healer has woken up completely.  I am a complete healer now.  In fact, healing is an art that arises from the soul, and it is a science that arises from the bottomless spirit of things.

I want people to know that healing is inside them, that it truly exists within them.  Healing is within you completely.  I have to access it only.  To access it, I have to use your spirit.  I will use your spirit if I can engage with you in a present conversation which is in the moment completely.  In the present you are everything.  In the present you are complete.  In the present you have everything you need.  So, I cannot leave the present to make you happy and joyful.

I cannot make a diagnosis or heal you in a certain modality because it means leaving the present.  I can make the best diagnosis possible for me, but still it is not in the moment.  Moment means I am with you all the time.

In my years as an acupuncturist I always wanted to come from the deepest place possible for me.  A point came when acupuncture came in the way.  My soul said no more acupuncture please.  It said you have to access people's hearts now. You cannot hide behind acupuncture any more.  And you cannot hide behind spiritual teaching any more.  You have to immediately help people as they are.  Just the way they are, you have to help.  You have to take them from where they are to where they are destined to be now.  You have to deliver them to love and happiness.  You have to be good to them and loving to them.

Why do I do this work

I do it because it comes from my heart, it comes from my soul, it comes from my blood and everything inside me.  I am me.  This is where the work comes from.  That is where the work comes from for me.  I am this work.  I cannot be separated from this work.  This work is me completely.  It arises through me completely.  There is no change in me when I do this work versus when I am not doing this work.  That is what work should be for anybody.  It should blend seamlessly with life.
