Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 shanna: My patients are less " dependent " on my skills if they choose the path of self- empowerment which I offer to them....I am, understandably, very cautious about how and to whom I introduce these " mind exercises " as some might be quite put off thinking I'm advocating they change their religious beliefs. I try to direct them to scientific sources on the effectiveness of meditation and stress that they are not worshiping any " God " when performing these exercises. Buddhism and Daoism, as many of you may know, are non-theistic in nature. jason: thanks for this post shanna, along with your recent ones which i have enjoyed very much. you come across as both experienced and grounded. i was particuluarly interested in your comments in this post. i was a buddhist monk for 7 years which is where my interest in chinese medicine originates and am continuingly looking for better ways to integrate what i have learnt about the cause of disease through years of meditation, and my acupuncture practice. i would love to hear more about how you approach this in your practice and what you are refering to as " the path of self- empowerment which I offer to them " . best wishes jason davies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
