Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Mercurius: It would seem to me that the crux of your difficulties lies here: " problem is, i have a very depleted condition right now. " What does this mean, and what can you do to address that? It would seem you need to deal with this issue before you can even think about reading books about babies, especially if your depleted condition has any relation to your Kidneys. I don't know of any books offhand at the moment.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 yeah, its anklosing spondilitis. there are many theories about this condition, but what works BEST are the general tonification points. also, herbs for kidney yin deficiency. im working on that. i do qi gong and all that. i should get treated more often, since it's free at the school, but i work full time as well as going to school full time. ironically, its like im too busy depleting myself to take time out to tonify. heh. i also used to chainsmoke rather frequently, but ive stopped doing that, because i think it dries up a lot of my yin. thanks. - " Jack Sweeney " <mojavecowboy <Chinese Traditional Medicine > Friday, October 06, 2006 8:29 PM Re: [Chinese Traditional Medicine] having a baby > Mercurius: > > It would seem to me that the crux of your difficulties > lies here: > > " problem is, i have a very depleted condition right > now.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Mercurius: You may wish to start here; In 1982, Bob published his first book on Chinese medicine. This was titled Path of Pregnancy. It was a compendium of everything Bob had found on acupuncture and Chinese medicine for gestational, birthing, and postpartum diseases. Bob compiled this information first because of Honora's pregnancy and the birth of their son Ian.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Please take the time to get treated more often. Sometimes people need to work on the lesson of taking care of themselves. For example I have a tendency to substitute food for sleep and rest in order to keep going when I need rest. Talk about depleting! Sometimes people get programmed with erroneous ideas of what they should be doing or be capable of doing. Also if they take the time they need for their own healing or maintenance they're somehow being selfish. Which they aren't. I hope that you and your girl friend aren't considering having a baby while you're still going to school full time and working full time plus dealing with your own health problems. If you think your life is hectic, depleting, and demanding right now, you haven't seen anything like what it would be with the responsibility of a baby. Is there a professor, mentor, or counselor at your school that you can talk with about this? You're firmly on your way to becoming a very good healer for yourself and others. Please don't lose courage.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 dear mercurious trismegistus, well, I can assume your at a mercurial level in your studies, by the second year you should have got the gistus of the whole thing, which means, you should hopefully have a bit more reserves on hand to keep the mercury low. as far as good books go, I would say that no books will really go the way your looking for it to go, but as we know, things come and go in this world. So, I would start by recommending that you actually enroll in some reputable qi gong school. Secondly, you may want to think about why your asking the question. Actually, no time is really the right time for a baby to come, it just happens and if your thinking this way, then perhaps it is something that you don't want to happen. Be honest with yourself and your girlfriend.If you really want to have a baby, then go for it. Forget all this stuff about original qi too, actually, you already have what it takes im sure, something that is original surely cant be changed. Also, you mention your girlfriends age, but not your own. Why? Think about it! My real advice, don't look for something in a book, look at what is happening in your life now and make the best of it with what you have. If you want to have better results, then ease off the peddle, slow down and im sure your perspective will change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
