Chapter 3 - The “pain medicine”

The “pain medicine” 

Nobody likes pain, but it is actually a super-medicine. Like diseases, it is a gift from nature. The “pain” here does not refer to the kind caused in accidents or fights, but the sensation felt when proactively practicing Paida and/or Lajin. Of the various recovery responses, pain is the most commonly experienced. Some may refuse to do Paida and Lajin because of the pain. Actually, it is precisely the reason that they should be practiced.

Pain is the secret weapon of their miraculous healing effects. The reasons are as follows:

Firstly, pain is a tool of precise diagnosis, just as an old saying goes, “where there are no blockages in the meridians, no pain will be felt.” Pain indicates the part of the body where an illness lies; and the intensity of pain indicates the severity of a disease. Patients with heart diseases or emotional problems are more afraid of pain than the average person. Heart diseases refer to disorders in the physical organ, the heart; whereas emotional problems refer to disorders of the intangible psyche, spirit, or mind. Heart diseases and emotional problems are interrelated and mutually influential; they are both manifestations of blockages in the Heart and Pericardium Meridians. If a part of the body where a meridian runs through is hurting, it signals that the corresponding organ is having problems.

“Pain” directly stimulates and opens up the heart, triggers willpower, and mobilizes yang-qi (right qi); it is a “medicine for the heart”. The heart, as sovereign of bodily organs, governs the spirit. It stimulates secretion of bio-chemicals that the body needs, i.e. “endogenous medicine”. Without pain, our self-healing power will not be activated, thus the endogenous medicine will not be produced. Our self-healing ability acts like a compound medicine, and pain is the catalyst that triggers generation of this endogenous medicine. Hence, pain is part of the process of producing endogenous medicine; it may even be an integral part of the medicine itself, i.e. the “pain medicine”. Moreover, pain is also the process of pinpointing the location of diseases so that further treatment can be carried out; it reveals its targets very clearly, i.e. at the area where the pain is felt. Hence, the “pain medicine” is a “precision medicine”; persistent pain means continuous treatment with precision medicine. Moreover, this pain is bearable; it can be self-regulated according to one’s condition and tolerance.

As the “pain medicine” is an “endogenous medicine” manifested as self-healing power, it is more accurate, symptomatic, eco-friendly and direct compared to medication. In Chinese medicine, self-healing power is referred to as yang-qi, or “right qi”; in Western medicine, it is referred to as immunity, repairing ability, hormones, insulin, stem cells, adrenaline, or enkephalin. With the advancement of medical science, new terms will be continually added to the list.

The degree of “pain” is proportionate to the efficacy of this “medicine”, i.e. the more hurting it is, the better the self-healing efficacy. During Paida and Lajin, when more pain is felt, yang-qi rises faster and the entire body immediately warms up and even starts to sweat. The time when most pain is felt is the time when yang-qi is conjured up the fastest; hence the best efficacy is gained. The Qi of diseases is yin-qi (evil qi); when it accumulates, more diseases will break out and life is shortened; on the contrary, when yang-qi is abundant, fewer diseases will break out and life is prolonged. When yang rises, yin will decline. Yang-qi is zheng-qi (or “right qi”), as described in Huang Di Nei Jing, “when zheng-qi is kept in, evils shall not enter”. This sentence sums up the true essence of Chinese medicine.

In case the pain becomes almost unbearable at the early stage of Paida and Lajin, the intensity can be reduced and the duration lengthened.

“Pain” makes us focused. We can experience the state of the body and soul becoming one, the state where giving and receiving is occurring in ourselves. Thus, pain is also a meditation method. During meditation, one may find it hard to concentrate. When you feel pain during Paida and/or Lajin, your mind is unprecedentedly focused; it is impossible at that moment to think about your children, the stock market or other matters. Your thoughts will focus on the part that hurts most, and that is almost invariably where the problems are. The ability to endure pain varies with changing state of mind, and it will be enhanced through continued Paida and Lajin. The ability to endure greater pain is a sign of better health.

“Pain” is our natural protection system that enables us to avoid danger; as such, the “pain medicine” is safer than medication. When the pain exceeds one’s endurance, one will instinctively stop using the “pain medicine”. Beginners, the seriously ill, and the elderly need not start Paida and/or Lajin with high intensity, they also should not anxiously try to gain significant efficacy at one go, but should instead take it one step at a time.

Our ability to endure pain will gradually improve with the increase in intensity and duration of Paida and Lajin. When the tolerance levels for the “pain medicine” and medication are compared, it is found that their effects on the human body are exactly opposite. Greater tolerance of the “pain medicine” indicates alleviation or curing of diseases, whereas greater tolerance of medication implies that the drug has become ineffective, or has even caused side effects.

The “pain medicine” is essentially a “medicine for the mind”; it is the result of interaction between the mind and the body. A person’s attitude towards pain is constantly changing; once you change your mindset and start to view pain as a proactive and positive therapy, you can instantly endure greater pain. Then, pain will no longer be an enemy or a devil, but instead a friend or an angel.

As smooth flowing meridians are considered a nourishing tonic to the body, and pain is the process of clearing meridians, thus the “pain medicine” is considered a tonic as well. 

Pranic Healing

Pranic Healing is one of those things that you do not consciously know that you are missing. It can take you as far as you want to go, in so many ways. It can show you how to take the pain out of a skinned knee or a burn. Pranic Healing can teach you to accelerate the healing of a broken bone, or help you to find peace, forgiveness and give you the tools that you need to live a fruitful, loving and productive life. Its Founder has thought of a remedy for whatever ails you, on whatever level.

Learning Pranic Healing is like learning to read, or add, at first it seems foreign, then it is second nature, and you wonder how you could ever get along without it; After some time, one begins to realize what a precious gift Pranic Healing is. Like a fine wine, or a friendship it unfolds, revealing ever more subtle expressions of its unique genius.



So what is Pranic Healing

It is a Simple yet extremely powerful recipe driven, no touch system of healing. The foundational techniques can be learned by anyone able to follow simple instructions, in just one weekend course.
The Founder of Modern Pranic Healing is Chinese Energy Master, Master Choa Kok Sui is known for his exceptional ability to distill complex topics down to their essence, making them easy to understand and practical to apply.

Pranic Healing is complimentary in nature. It is not meant to replace Allopathic Medicine, or any other healing method. It is easily adapted into a practice, or may be used alone. Pranic Healing uses the forces present in nature, along with the body's innate abilities, as the foundation on which Pranic Healing is built.

The two principles in Pranic Healing

The body has the innate ability to heal its self.
In order to do so life force, or life energy must be present.
I will elaborate a little on these principles. The body does the healing always, period. We may encourage the body's immune system with drugs, sew it together or put a limb in a cast, but it is the body that does the healing.

The body has intelligence of its own. If it did not we would spend all our time telling it what to do. No time to do anything else. The body has the ability to control and energize its own system if it is condition to do so. In order for the body to heal it requires life force or life energy. Simple, no life force or life energy, no healing can occur, the body is dead.
There are several sources of this life force or "Prana". These include the environment i.e. the sun, the air, the earth. We get some prana from the food that we eat, from animals, and from other people, and spiritual sources.
I feel fairly confident when I say that all of us, at one time or other has been a source of life force or energy for other people. Remember that time that you were feeling great? A friend called, or came by, who was depressed or needed your help. They left feeling better, however, you were exhausted. You were happy that you could help, and relieved that they were gone. You felt drained, the question is why?
The answer is that energy and water operate in a similar fashion. They will both seek their own level. If there is a passage between two containers, fill one, and both will become half full. Unless the passage is plugged or filled, the liquid will seek its own level, always flowing from high to low. When you were in that GREAT mood and your friend was in that bad place, guess who was in the high position? YOU!!! That's right.

The question you should be asking is how can I still help without becoming drained myself? Another good question is where is this energy stored and how do I get more? The First healing technique learned in Pranic Healing is how to stem the flow, how to remove attachments and energetic links to negative people and situations.

Energetic Anatomy

We know right now through our exposure to technology, that there are many frequencies, around us that most of us cannot see. We have created many instruments to both sense and utilize these various frequencies. Everything from microwaves to x-rays, television and radio signals, all these are invisible to the untrained, naked eye. Yet we use them and interact with them and accept them without any hesitation.

This is a great time in history for us to speak about Energy and Pranic Healing because we are all so familiar with energy terms and concepts.

We understand that everything is Energy, regardless of how dense that energy is. E=Mc squared.
 In Electrical Engineering there is something called the right hand rule. Simply put, it states that if you have a copper wire and run electrical current through that wire, it will form an electromagnetic field around that wire, and it will rotate in a right hand direction.
We have created instruments that can detect the resistance and impurities in wire by measuring the regularity in the electromagnetic field outside the wire.
We also know that the physical body has bio-plasmic impulses flowing through it. The body acts as the copper wire for the bio-plasmic impulses to flow through. This current flowing through the body forms a bio-electro-magnetic field around the body. This is commonly known as the Bio-plasmic field, or the Etheric Field or the Auric Field.
This Auric field is the container that holds Prana or life force. It is made up of several layers.

The outermost of these layers is termed the Outer Aura. Again, it's function it to contain or hold in the energy that the body acquires from those various sources. If there is a hole, crack or tear in this field, the prana, or life force will steadily leak out.
If you have ever met someone who is frail, always getting sick, or when they recover they often have relapses, this condition may be caused by a leak in this Outer Aura.

Another symptom of a leak may occur when a person receives a treatment of some kind. The person feels good for a couple of days, and then recidivates to the previous condition.
The next layer of the Aura is called the Health rays. These health rays are like the energetic pores. They push used up energy outside of our system. They are actually our first layer of defense. When you feel someone "bristle" you are feeling the Health Rays stand up on end, kind of like a porcupine, or the hair standing up when a cat has been spooked.
If the health rays become damaged, tangled or droopy this will be reflected in the physical body as weakness, illness or injury.


The innermost layer is called the Inner Aura. This is the layer that is generally measured to gauge irregularities in Bio-Energetic Anatomy.
Just as we have physical power plants, transformers and wires, we have energetic power plants, transformers and wires as well.

The energetic power plants are called Chakras. They gather energy and change it into something digestible to the subtle and physical bodies.
The Chakras, (chakra means wheel in Sanskrit), spin two directions, they inhale fresh clean Prana, and expel used up or diseased energy. They also supply Prana, (life force), to our internal organs using our version of wiring, the Meridian System.

The Meridians are those lines on an Acupuncture Chart.
The energy generated at the physical power plant is too great to use directly, it must be made "compatible" with our appliances. This is done through a series of transformers. Something similar also happens within chakra system.


Many people are somewhat familiar with the seven Chakra system. There are many, many Chakras in our system. There are major chakras, such as those that are located down the front of the body, there are minor chakras such as those on the hands feet and spleen.

There are mini chakras like the ones on the tips of the fingers, and micro chakras such as those dots on the acupuncture charts.
The Major Chakras supply etheric energy, Prana or life force to the various systems and organs within our bodies. (See Miracles Through Pranic Healing for a complete description)
 So,  just to quickly recap, our energetic anatomy is made up of our chakras, (power plants), the meridians (the wiring) and the Auric Field (the emanation of the current running through the system).
The Auric Field is the energetic blueprint that the physical body follows.

The body is the last thing that appears in the physical world, not the first. Just as the blueprint for the oak tree is already contained in the acorn, so the blueprint for the body is present before the body is created.
Everything that happens in the manifest world happens in the energy world first. Allow me to explain.


Let us say that you want to build a house. The first thing that one does is to think of building the house. That is in the mental realm or mental world. Then one has an emotional reaction, excitement, or interest or happiness. This is the Emotional realm. Then the idea gets put down on paper, it starts to come into the physical world, goes to the Architect, and then to the carpenters, who, when provided with enough building materials will make it a reality, bringing the idea into physical manifestation.


Now say the blueprint becomes damaged or unreadable in some way. If the carpenters do not get the blueprint redrawn, they may put a window where a door is suppose to go. Or they may use the wrong grade of materials.
If the project runs out of funding it may take a long time to complete.
 So when the body is ill or injured, all of its resources are directed to that problem. All of its carpenters are focused on that project, if the blueprint is unreadable or not enough material is furnished, the body may not heal properly, or rapidly.


Pranic Healing Techniques

Cleansing and Energizing are two techniques used in Pranic Healing.



 Before any energy is given, negative, dirty, diseased, or contaminated energy is first removed and disposed of properly. This is called cleansing. 
Did I say PROPERLY?..  So many times I have walked through a health fair, or a psychic fair, where massage therapists or "energetic practitioners" have been doing healings and I have watched them shake their hands out away from their bodies and into the space around them. Have you seen that?, 
What are they doing?

If you ask, they will tell you (sometimes) that they are shaking off the dirty or diseased or "bad energy". That is ok, but where is it going?. When asked this question, you will be met with anything from a puzzled look to a reply, "it is going into the earth,"  or into a flame, or a vague statement that the Universe will take care of it.

So, if someone throws garbage into the street, will the Universe take care of it? The answer is of course, YES! The question is, however, how long will it take? Will we have to see it? Smell it? Perhaps step in it? Drag it into our houses on the bottom of our shoes?


If I have mud on my hands and shake my hands do my hands become clean? No! Just slightly less covered in mud. 
If something is true on one level it is true on another level.
 If it is true in the physical world it is true in the energetic world as well. Have you heard "AS ABOVE, SO BELOW " ?
 Remember that it was said that the chakras spin in both directions, they inhale and they exhale.

What do you think happens to the dirty energy remaining on the hands of a person, even those who are handling energetically unclean things, let alone persons with disease? Could some of the dirty energy be inhaled through the chakras in the hands?
 Here is a list of pitfalls that may befall the therapist who uses these approaches, as well as dangers to their clients

. The Practitioner may become quite contaminated. Symptoms of contamination include: 
Arthritic conditions, 
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
, Heaviness in the legs,
 Itchiness
, Fatigue

.

The next Client may pick up the dirty energy from the past clients on their way out.
Hooray!!!!!!
But in Pranic Healing , we are taught how to clean ourselves, our environment and how to dispose of the negative, dirty, diseased or contaminated energy, simply, effectively and with minimal effort.

We learn how to help others while avoiding burnout and other hazards.


 ENERGIZING
 Remember the idea that water and energy operate in much the same manner? Yes? You remember also that the body will regulate its own energetic system if allowed to do so? Good. If the energy system is clean and the chakras are also cleaned, then they will pull in fresh clean prana on their own. So, as a Healer, I may not need to energize at all.

This has been demonstrated on many occasions when I have simply cleaned the spine, head and back chakras of a person with a migraine headache and the headache has disappeared, with no energizing. This is because there is already too much energy in the head causing the head to pound. If the blockages and excess energy is removed, the headache is relieved in just a few minutes.
 However, a healing process may be greatly sped up if the body has unlimited or at least extra resources at its disposal.
 I have seen this happen on many occasions from broken bones to burns.

The time that it would take to heal is extremely reduced, sometimes from a few months to a few weeks.

There is lots of good news, for everyone. I believe, no, I know that absolutely everyone can benefit from Pranic Healing in one way or another. Whether it is from learning how to help without being drained, or to keep your body healthy, or to help your family, and even your pets, Pranic Healing has something to offer.

Foreword

September 9, 2004, is a day I will never forget. It seemed like any other morning when I woke, but it would become the greatest day of my life.

Like most other people, I had struggled and worked hard to survive all my life, dealing with difficulties and obstacles as best I could. But 2004 had been an especially tough year for me, and the challenging circumstances literally brought me to my knees on September 9. My relationships, health, career, and finances appeared to be in an irretrievable state. I could see no way out of the mounting difficulties that surrounded me. And then it happened!

 

My daughter handed me a one-hundred-year-old book[1], and during the ninety minutes it took me to read the book, my entire life changed. I understood how everything had happened in my life, and I immediately knew what to do to change every circumstance into what I wanted. I had discovered a secret, a secret that had been passed on through centuries but had been known by very few people throughout history.

 

From that moment, the world I saw was not the same world. Everything I had believed about the way life worked was the very opposite of how it really was. I had lived decades believing that things in life just happen to us. But now, I could see the incredible truth.

 

I could also see that the majority of people did not know this secret, and so I set out to share it with the world. Against every imaginable obstacle I created the film The Secret, and it was released to the world in 2006. Later the same year I wrote the book The Secret, which enabled me to share more of what I had discovered.

 

When The Secret was released, it traveled at lightning speed and was passed from one person to another across the planet. Today tens of millions of people in every country in the world have changed their lives in the most incredible ways with its knowledge.

 

As people learned how to change their lives with The Secret, they shared thousands of amazing stories with me, and I received more insights into why people experience such difficulties in their lives. And with those insights came the knowledge of The Power – knowledge that can change lives instantly.

 

The Secret reveals the law of attraction – the most powerful law that governs our lives. The Power contains the essence of everything I have learned since The Secret was released in 2006. In The Power you will come to understand that all it takes is just one thing to change your relationships, money, health, happiness, career, and your entire life.

 

You don’t need to have read The Secret for The Power to change your life, because everything you need to know is contained in The Power. If you have read The Secret, then this book will add immeasurably to what you already know.

 

There is so much for you to know. There is so much for you to understand about yourself and your life. And it is all good. In fact it is beyond good, it is phenomenal!

You are meant to have an amazing life!

 

You are meant to have everything you love and desire. Your work is meant to be exciting, and you are meant to accomplish all the things you would love to accomplish. Your relationships with your family and friends are meant to be filled with happiness. You are meant to have all the money you need to live a full, wonderful life. You are meant to be living your dreams – all of them! If you want to travel, you are meant to travel. If you would love to start a business, you are meant to start a business. If you would love to learn to dance or learn how to sail a yacht or study Italian, you are meant to do those things. If you would love to be a musician, a scientist, a business owner, an inventor, a performer, a parent, or whatever it is you would love to be, you are meant to be it!

 

When you wake up each day, you should be filled with excitement because you know the day is going to be full of great things. You are meant to be laughing and full of joy. You are meant to feel strong and safe. You are meant to feel good about yourself and know you’re invaluable. Of course there will be challenges in your life, and you are meant to have them too, because they help you to grow, but you are meant to know how to overcome problems and challenges. You are meant to be victorious! You are meant to be happy! You are meant to have an amazing life!

 

You were not born to struggle. You were not born to live a life where the moments of joy are few and far between. You were not born to toil in your work five days a week, with fleeting moments of happiness on weekends. You were not born to live with limited energy, feeling exhausted at the end of each day. You were not born to worry or be afraid. You were not born to suffer. What would be the point of your life? You are meant to experience life to its fullest and have everything you want and, at the same time, be filled with joy, health, vitality, excitement, and love, because that is an amazing life!

 

The life of your dreams, everything you would love to be, do, or have, has always been closer to you than you knew, because the power to everything you want is inside you!

“There is a supreme power and ruling force which pervades and rules the boundless universe. You are a part of this power.”

Prentice Mulford (1834-1891)
NEW THOUGHT AUTHOR

 

In this book I want to show you the way to an amazing life. You will discover something incredible about yourself, your life, and the universe. Life is so much easier than you think it is, and as you come to understand the way life works, and the power you have inside you, you will experience the magic of life in its fullness – and then you will have an amazing life!

 

Now let the magic of your life begin.

 

WHAT IS THE POWER?

 

“What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists.”

Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922)
INVENTOR OF THE TELEPHONE

Life is simple. Your life is made up of only two kinds of things – positive things and negative things. Each area of your life, whether it’s your health, money, relationships, work, or happiness, is either positive or negative to you. You have plenty of money or you lack money. You are brimming with health or you lack health. Your relationships are happy or difficult. Your work is exciting and successful or dissatisfying and unsuccessful. You are filled with happiness or you don’t feel good a lot of the time. You have good years or bad years, good times or bad times, good days or bad days.

 

If you have more negative things than positive things in your life, then something is very wrong and you know it. You see other people who are happy and fulfilled and whose lives are full of great things, and something tells you that you deserve all that too. And you’re right; you do deserve a life overflowing with good things.

 

Most people who have a great life don’t realize exactly what it was that they did to get it. But they did do something. They used the power that is the cause of everything good in life . . .

 

Without exception, every person who has a great life used love to achieve it. The power to have all the positive and good things in life is love!

 

Love has been talked about and written about since the beginning of time, in every religion, and by every great thinker, philosopher, prophet, and leader. But many of us have not truly understood their wise words. Even though their teachings were specifically for people in their time, their one truth and message to the world is still the same today: love, because when you love you are using the greatest power in the universe.

The Force of Love

“Love is an element which though physically unseen is as real as air or water. It is an acting, living, moving force . . . it moves in waves and currents like those of the ocean.”

Prentice Mulford (1834-1891)
NEW THOUGHT AUTHOR

 

The kind of love that the greatest thinkers and saviors of the world talked about is very different from what most people understand love to be. It is much more than loving your family, friends, and favorite things, because love is not just a feeling: love is a positive force. Love is not weak, feeble, or soft. Love is the positive force of life! Love is the cause of everything positive and good. There are not a hundred different positive forces in life; there is only one.

 

Nature’s great powers, like gravity and electromagnetism, are invisible to our senses, but their power is indisputable. Likewise, the force of love is invisible to us, but its power is in fact far greater than any of nature’s powers. The evidence of its power can be seen everywhere in the world: without love, there is no life.

 

Take a moment to think about it: What would the world be without love? First of all, you wouldn’t even exist; without love you couldn’t have been born. None of your family and friends would have been born either. In fact, there wouldn’t be a single human being on the planet. If the force of love ceased today, the entire human race would decrease and eventually die out.

 

Every single invention, discovery, and human creation came from the love in a human heart. If it were not for the love of the Wright Brothers, we could not fly in an airplane. If it were not for the love of scientists, inventors, and discoverers, we would not have electricity, heating, or light; nor would we be able to drive a car or use a phone, appliance, or any of the technology that makes life easier and more comfortable. Without the love of architects and builders, there would be no homes, buildings, or cities. Without love, there would be no medicines, doctors, or emergency facilities. No teachers, schools, or education. There would be no books, no paintings, and no music, because all of these things are created from the positive force of love. Take a look around you right now. Whatever you see that is a human creation would not be there without love.

“Take away love and our earth is a tomb.”

Robert Browning (1812-1889)
POET

Love Is the Force That Moves You

Everything you want to be, do, or have comes from love. Without love, you wouldn’t move. There would be no positive force to propel you to get up in the morning, to work, play, dance, talk, learn, listen to music, or do anything at all. You’d be like a stone statue. It is the positive force of love that inspires you to move and gives you the desire to be, do, or have anything. The positive force of love can create anything good, increase the good things, and change anything negative in your life. You have the power over your health, your wealth, your career, your relationships, and every area of your life. And that power – love – is inside you!

 

But if you have the power over your life, and that power is inside you, why isn’t your life amazing? Why isn’t every area of your life magnificent? Why don’t you have everything you want? Why haven’t you been able to do everything you want to do? Why aren’t you filled with joy every day?

The answer is: because you have a choice. You have a choice whether to love and harness the positive force – or not. And whether you realize it or not, every day of your life – every moment of your life – you have been making this choice. Without exception, every single time you experienced something good in your life, you loved and harnessed love’s positive force. And every single time you experienced something not good, you didn’t love, and the result was negativity. Love is the cause of all the good things in your life, and a lack of love is the cause of all the negative things and all the pain and suffering. Tragically, a lack of knowledge and understanding of the power of love is clear in people’s lives across the planet today – and in the entire history of humanity.

My Story

If you’ve ever wondered how dramatically your life can change once you master your mindset, look no further because I’m a poster child for the magic that can occur.


Read his full story…
Hi, I’m John Assaraf … a self-made multi-millionaire, international best-selling author with books in print in over 30 languages, and featured teacher from the hit film and book, The Secret, which I helped launch into a worldwide phenomenon.
I’ve built 5 multi-million-dollar companies in real estate, Internet software, and business coaching and consulting and brain research. I live in a gorgeous, six-acre estate in sunny Southern California. I take regular vacations with my family, traveling to exotic locations like Bora Bora, Hawaii and the Caribbean. I get to lecture all over the world on mastering the Inner game of wealth, business and success, and I have been a frequent guest on Larry King Live and many other major media shows worldwide.
But no one who knew me as a kid – not even my parents – would ever have believed I could achieve this level of success.
My teachers wrote me off, taking bets on when I’d land in jail. Even my father didn’t set his sights much higher than hoping I’d get steady employment at a minimum-wage job.
It sounds terrible, I know. But to be honest, I can’t blame them.
As a kid, I was a misfit. I had a bad attitude about school, and I practically lived in the principal’s office.
Looking back, I know now that the problem was the limiting beliefs I formed in response to challenges and painful experiences I had growing up … and the uncertainty and lack of confidence that resulted from those responses.
For example, learning to speak English and French. Our family moved from Israel to Montreal, Canada, when I was just 6. I struggled for years to master the intricacies of English and French … and it made me an easy target for school-yard bullies. Making friends did not come easily to me, and the lower my self-esteem sank, the harder it became to learn new skills and make friends.
Math and science were very difficult for me to comprehend. I put in Herculean efforts only to end up with average to below-average grades. The more I struggled, the more frustrated and embarrassed I felt. I began to resent wasting time learning subjects I didn’t like.
By the time I was in my early teens, “normal” to me meant feeling insecure and uncertain. I didn’t believe that I possessed the intelligence or abilities to succeed in the real world. Feeling rejected by most of my classmates, I ended up hanging around the only people who would accept me – a group of trouble-making thugs. They helped each other when things got rough, which was often, giving me my first real-world lessons about competition and survival of the fittest.
My companions’ influence soon rubbed off. I got into fights almost daily, which meant I was a near-permanent presence in the principal’s office. But the punishments my school dished out were nothing compared to what waited for me at home. My father was a taxi driver, and every time he had to pick me up at school, it meant he couldn’t be earning a living driving his taxi cab. His resentment, shame and anger toward me would boil over, and I’d pay the price with vicious physical beatings.
I hated my father’s uncontrollable anger – how it changed him and left its mark on me. But I never showed him, instead burying my thoughts and feelings. Regardless of the physical and emotional damage he inflicted, I kept getting into more trouble and took more dangerous risks than I care to share here. (It’s all in my “Having it All” book)
The only thing I truly enjoyed and excelled at were sports. When I got older (15-18), my athletic skills helped me escape the thugs I was hanging with and the trouble that came with that crowd.
Yet even then, I was still living a dual life. One John was a nice polite boy from a nice family, who held a real job earning 65 cents an hour at the local pharmacy. The other John was a lying, stealing idiot with low self-esteem, almost no morals and the skills of a hard-boiled egg.
I knew I couldn’t keep living my life with such extremes. So when I was 19, I chose the path I believed promised me a better life. I broke free from my friends, my school, and an environment that offered me nothing more than a shot at mediocrity. Despite having no money, no job, and only a grade 11 education, I left Montréal and moved to Toronto, Canada, where the only person I knew was my brother.
There, thanks to the sage advice of a wonderful businessman, I decided to change my life and get serious. I borrowed money and enrolled in a real estate course. Five eye-opening weeks later, I earned my real estate license. It was one of the first and only times in my life that I didn’t cheat on a test. I had so badly wanted to succeed in a way that I could be proud of myself instead of feeling ashamed. So for the first time ever, I paid the price of discipline. I can still feel the pride and awe that I actually did it on my own.
Receiving my real estate license was a turning point for me. I felt like my slate had been wiped clean and my transgressions of the past had been forgotten. Now I could make something of my life … all I had to do was work hard and upgrade my knowledge and skills.
That’s when I began learning about the awesome power within each one of us to change no matter what has happened to us, the power of GOD, our amazing brains, and the importance of setting goals and then becoming the person who can achieve them.
My purpose in life is to help millions of people believe in and utilize their God-given abilities, providing them with the environment and resources to acquire the confidence, certainty and personal power to achieve their life’s purpose and goals. It’s a purpose I fill by reaching millions around the world via speeches, training programs, television and radio appearances, and my bestselling books, Having it All, The Vision Board Kit and The Answer.
My latest business venture is NeuroGym, a brain research and product development company to help people free themselves from the bondage of their past, bad habits and limited thinking, so they can acquire the confidence, certainty and personal power to achieve their life’s goals and purpose.
My passions are brain research, quantum physics, spiritual growth, health, exercise, travel, cooking, family, great food, friends and philanthropy.

“A lot of people feel like they’re victims in life, and they’ll often point to past events, perhaps growing up with an abusive parent or in a dysfunctional family. Most psychologists believe that about 85 percent of families are dysfunctional, so all of a sudden you’re not so unique. My parents were alcoholics. My dad abused me. My mother divorced him when I was six…I mean, that’s almost everybody’s story in some form or not. The real question is, what are you going to do now? What do you choose now? Because you can either keep focusing on that, or you can focus on what you want. And when people start focusing on what they want, what they don’t want falls away, and what they want expands, and the other part disappears. (Jack Canfield)” ― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

“Your power is in your thoughts, so stay awake. In other words, remember to remember.” ― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

   “Whenever you think you can or think you can’t, either way you are right. (Henry Ford) ”

“When you want to attract something into your life, make sure your actions don’t contradict your desires.. Think about what you have asked for, and make sure that your actions are mirroring what you expect to receive, and that they’re not contradicting what you‘ve asked for. Act as if you are receiving it. Do exactly what you would do if you were receiving it today, and take actions in your life to reflect that powerful expectation. Make room to receive your desires, and as you do, you are sending out that powerful signal of expectation. ― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

 “Your thoughts become things!"

“The truth is that the universe has been answering you all of your life, but you cannot receive the answers unless you are awake.”  

“Remember that your thoughts are the primary cause of everything.”

“You will attract everything that you require. If it’s money you need you will attract it. If it’s people you need you’ll attract it. You’ve got to pay attention to what you’re attracted to, because as you hold images of what you want, you’re going to be attracted to things and they’re going to be attracted to you. But it literally moves into physical reality with and through you. And it does that by law. (Bob Proctor) ”
― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

 

“Every thought of yours is a real thing – a force. (Prentice Mulford) ” ― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

 

“Everything else you see and experience in this world is effect, and that includes your feelings. The cause is always your thoughts.”
― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

 

“It is impossible to bring more into your life if you are feeling ungrateful about what you have. Why? Because the thoughts and feelings you emit as you feel ungrateful are all negative emotions. ”
― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

 

“When you focus on lack and scarcity and what you don’t have, you fuss about it with your family, you discuss it with your friends, you tell your children that you don’t have enough - “We don’t have enough for that, we can’t afford that” - then you’ll never be able to afford it, because you begin to attract more of what you don’t have. If you want abundance, if you want prosperity, then focus on abundance. Focus on prosperity. (Lisa Nichols)

"Many people in Western culture are striving for success. They want the great home, they want their business to work, they want all these outer things. But what we found in our research is that having these outer things does not necessarily guarantee what we really want, which is happiness. So we go for these outer things thinking they’re going to bring us happiness , but it’s backward. You need to go for the inner joy, the inner peace, the inner vision first, and then all of the outer things appear. (Marci Shimoff) ”
― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

If you will see nothing but ill luck in the future, you are praying for such ill luck and will surely get it. (Prentice Mulford) ”
― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

 

“If you’re feeling good, then you’re creating a future that’s on track with your desires. If you’re feeling bad, you’re creating a future that’s off track with your desires. As you go about your day, the law of attraction is working in every second. Everything we think and feel is creating our future. If you’re worried or in fear, then you’re bringing more of that into your life throughout the day.”― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

 

“Food cannot cause you to put on weight, unless you think it can.” ― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

    

“Your life right now is a reflection of your past thoughts. That includes all the great things, and all the things you consider not so great. Since you attract to you what you think about most, it is easy to see what your dominant thoughts have been on every subject of your life, because that is what you have experienced. Until now!” ― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

 

“Neville recommends at the end of every day, before you go to sleep, to think through the events of the day. If any events or moments did not go the way you wanted, replay them in your mind in a way that thrills you. As you recreate those events in your mind exactly as you want, you are cleaning up your frequency from the day and you are emitting a new signal and frequency for tomorrow. You have intentionally created new picture for your future. It is never too late to change the pictures.”― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

  
  
      

"Do No Harm" By Dr. Yoshitaka Ohno

Do No Harm
By Dr. Yoshitaka Ohno

Giving people hope in order to enjoy a healthier, longer, and fuller life has been Dr. Yoshitaka Ohno’s mission since he left his medical practice in Japan over 20 years ago. He knew he could not practice the kind of medicine that was causing so much suffering to his patients. Japan’s medical system had become much like other western systems. It involves mostly drugs and surgery. It supplies misery rather than hope.

Dr. Ohno’s journey away from conventional medicine led him to what his mother called "humanitarian medicine." It allowed him to bring together six generations of medicine from his father’s family, and six generations of spiritual leadership from his mother’s family. He felt very fortunate to be the product of what has led him to mind/body/spirit medicine. This new medicine is based on having a close relationship with nature. Unless we pay attention to our natural environment and respect it, there will be no life left for our future generations. We are already killing nature. Soon it will be too late.


This book is the story of one doctor’s struggle to live his vision of humanitarian medicine. It is a journey through the pain of modern medicine, and the arrival at a new way of offering hope to people who are suffering. 

DO NO HARM

by Yoshitaka Ohno, M.D., Ph.D.

The Story of a Doctor's Struggle to Live His Vision of Humanitarian Medicine

She looked at me calmly. She was almost too calm. She had surrendered herself totally to her decision. There was no fear in her voice or in her eyes. She was resolved in her conviction to die. She got up from her bed and closed the door quietly, wanting privacy so no one else in the hospital would hear.

"Please help me die, Dr. Ohno. Please show mercy and help me die. I have asked you to stop giving me the anticancer drug. I can't take it anymore! I know you don't want to watch me suffer. Every time you inject me with this drug, I know you are also suffering as you watch me suffer. The other doctors have always ignored me while I struggled with the agony. But your eyes have always shown me such concern. You are the only doctor who has shown me such compassion."

When I decided that my patients were being given too much of a dangerous drug, I decreased the dosage. But other doctors on the staff would change my order and raise the dosage without notifying me, because they knew that would make them look good to the Chief of Medicine.

She continued to talk to me as if I were her son. She stopped and took another sip of her tea. During the silence, I started thinking about what she was saying. It was true that I was struggling and I was showing the fatigue from my internal battle. I was not sleeping well. As tired as I was, I would lie in bed, unable to sleep. Then I would get up and sit at my desk. I would think about her and how I could help her. I often thought to myself, "Why did I become a doctor?"

When I first became a doctor, I seemed to be able to find ways to help my patients. But now, instead of being a healer, I felt more like a murderer. I knew my struggle would continue if I didn't find a better way to help my patients like her, who continued to suffer the pain and indignity of a death that I was causing.

As I watched this woman collapse in sobs while she continued to plead, a part of me was dying. But I knew that I now had to present her with the cruel facts. I spoke to her with tears in my eyes, as honestly and kindly as I could.

"Your cancer has already metastasized through your body, even to your brain. I am sorry but I am recommending that you go to hospice because there is nothing more we can do. The damage is irreversible. The more chemotherapy you are given, the sooner you will die. This drug not only kills cancer cells, but also destroys the healthy cells. You need to stop because the side effects are worse and are causing too much suffering."

Just then the Chief of Medicine of the hospital entered the room. He must have heard me because he said, "Dr. Ohno, I will take care of this patient. I can help her. Please have this patient signed over to my care."

The Chief of Medicine looked firmly at the suffering patient and began. "Dr. Ohno is right, but I think I can save you with a new drug I developed. It is still in the experimental stage, but it kills only cancer cells and has no side effects"

His words were totally unexpected by her. Her expression went from despair to hope. She began to cry with tears of joy. The Chief of Medicine stood there with the same arrogant and smug look I had come to know since arriving at the hospital. However, despite the deep emotion of hope that filled the room, I was both sad and angry. I knew that his anticancer drug had very strong side effects and would cause this poor woman even more suffering.

This was the first of what was to prove to be many rude awakenings for me. After years of medical school and training, of struggling to find humane ways to treat people, I was now facing the grim reality of having to allow my superior to treat patients as though they were experimental animals. It was obvious that he had no empathy for terminally ill people. I wanted desperately to step in and disagree, but I knew it would be futile and would spell the end of my medical career.

As I watched my patients suffer in agony from taking anticancer drugs, I was experiencing my own torment as well. I was becoming consumed with the memory of my mother's words to me after my father's death. The memory of that tragic period of my life started to overwhelm me. My father was a very famous surgeon who died when he was 42 years old. He worked long and hard to keep his hospital operating at its peak. His dedication cost him his life. He died of an aneurism during surgery.

This book is about the times in my life when I had to encounter many struggles in order to gain greater insight and appreciation of the final outcome. While I report the horrors I experienced during my years of practicing medicine in Japan, I also show how I was able to find a way to answer the cries of despair of my patients. This was not easy. It required that I make a decision that would put me at risk and force me to leave my practice. But during this process, I learned to become a better doctor, more concerned about the welfare of my patients rather than the rewards of fame and fortune, which, unfortunately, have become the driving force of modern medicine.

I did not have to take this road. It would have been easier to follow the program and do what my superiors told me to do. I come from a very prominent family in Japan and have always had choices and opportunities. But the values given to me by my family led to my decisions, which, though distressing at first, brought me to what I believe is my destiny.

I believe that there has always been an invisible force within me, guiding my direction and encouraging me to discover my true calling in life. As I have proceeded on my journey, there is one principal factor that has continually surfaced. This factor is contribution, the act of giving to others, directly from one's heart. This affects not only the recipient, but something of equal importance: the essence of our being.

I also believe, more than anything else, that my mission to help humanity is derived directly from giving people the awareness of how vitally important contribution is to the soul of the benefactor. My vision has become a vehicle that can assist people to gain an understanding that, as they direct their energies to give of themselves with a pure and open heart, they will ultimately fill an emptiness that resides deep within their spiritual center.

Through years of study and experimentation in seeking better ways of delivering good health care, I found the significant interrelationship between health and nature, and its impact on the quality of life. The best example is our precious water supply. After you read this book, you will become more knowledgeable about water; all water is not the same. You will learn that the quality, content, and even the structure of the water in your body can make the difference between sickness and health.

In order to test this theory, I tested many water sources. While I was conducting research in Japan, I discovered a naturally magnetized water that was being used by a prominent physician with his patients suffering from serious diseases, many which I had also been treating. As I observed and studied these patients, it became apparent that this water was unique and had therapeutic benefits.


We think of the human body as ...

Dr. Ohno is a native of Osaka, Japan, where he received his education and training in medicine and neuropathology. Early in his medical career, he began searching for ways to stop the suffering of his patients with diseases that could not be treated successfully by standard medicine, and thus had to be managed with multiple drugs. He began to realize that the side effects of these drugs were creating serious chronic problems, as well as increasing the body’s deterioration. After extensive study he became convinced that the condition of the body’s water was directly related to the state of the body’s health.

After leaving his medical practice, he continued his studies but found that the Japanese medical community was not placing much emphasis on chronic diseases found commonly among the aging population. He decided to enter the United States and accept a position at AMC Hospital in Denver, Colorado, where he could continue his research in geriatric pathology, including MRI studies on the relationship of water and cellular degeneration. His work led him to investigate the neuropathology of Alzheimer’s disease. As a result of his work, he received the Community Leadership Award from the Colorado Alzheimer’s Association in 1987 and the Humanitarian Award from the Alzheimer’s Disease International in 1993.

After returning to Japan in 1990, he discovered a naturally magnetized water that was being used by a prominent physician to treat serious, life-threatening diseases. As these patients recovered, Dr. Ohno became convinced that this water was unique. He pursued numerous clinical studies with this water, both in Japan and the United States. In 1998, Dr. Ohno founded the Ohno Institute on Water and Health, a non-profit research and education center for studying the effect of naturally magnetized water on health and aging. He has been requested as a speaker at several health conferences and has published several articles in professional journals on his findings.


Dr. Ohno resides with his wife and three children in Chagrin Falls, Ohio.



I noticed that there were very few books about 
water and health. Even in Japan there were many books in bookstores about water.  Perhaps it is bacause water in Japan is such a precious commodity that there is much more awareness of water and the environment.  In this nation there seems to be a little interest about the importance of clean water in our bodies.  It is no wonder that people continue to get sick easily and don't know why.  Even when people are aware of the dangers of water contamination, they do not know about the effect water has on the human body.

We think of the human body consisting of muscles, bones and nerves.  But everything in our body is made up of almost all water.  Our body is made up of 70% water, for average size adult. Too much of our health education is about drugs and the effects certain drugs have on the body. This is based on Solid Paradigm. How often do we hear about water and its effects on our health?  All the foods we eat consist of water.  Good water produces good crops that keep us healthy.  When we eat vegetables that have been grown in a contaminated field from chemicals and polluted soil , we are nor providing our body with nourishment, but poison. When we eat poultry, beef, pork or fish that has been contaminated from a poor water source, are we not poisoned as well?  

The awareness in this nation is slowly growing.  Since so little is taught about the importance of water in the human body, it is easy for people to contaminate their bodies without being aware of what they are doing.  Since we are the unity of a mind-body-spirit relationship, it makes sense that not only is our body contaminated by poor water , but our mind and our spirit as well.  When we do not take proper care of our body hydration, the body cannot remain in a balanced state. water helps balance our body, and when we are balanced physically, our emotions are much more stable.  We become less irritable and angry, and our spiritual energy is much more alive. 

  "Danger Past, God Forgotten"

  It is amazing to me that is usually takes a life crisis for people to wake up and understand how vital water is . Most people ignore how important our water resources are until they experience  a problem in their life.  The earth is also made up of 70% water. But 94% of our water supply is salt water.  Only 6% of our earth's water is fresh water. Of this 4% is in the form of glaciers.  This leaves approximately 2% fresh water on earth for human consumption.  If we continue to ignore water as the very precious commodity it is, we are in danger of destroying not just our bodies ; we are in danger of also destroying our home planet, Earth. 

Many people have called me the "Water Doctor" , saying that all i know is water. All I want to talk about is water.  I try to be understanding, but without knowledge about the importance of water, my words sound too simplistic  to have any merit. 

I had gotten used to people laughing at me and telling me that my ideas are not reality.  I am used to the feeling of alienation and exclusion, so attempts to discourage me have not affected my determination. I continue to focus on the benefits of the water I discovered, and I tell people about this water anytime I have the opportunity to do so.  Usually, when I meet someone witha health problem, or they tell me about someone in their family witha health problem, they say they have tried every kind of conventional medical treatment available. But after seeing no improvements, they have lost hope.  I am always eager to help them.  I will explain the special qualities of the water , and how the water I discovered here can help them.  When I get this opportunity , people will isten to me. 

One day a woman visited the health center because she was looking for a good facility to care for her sister who had Alzheimer's disease.  She toured the facility but was terribly disappointed when she realized she would not be able to afford the cost of care.  I was very impressed with her devotion to her sister, and I took a few minutes to talk to her about her sister's state of health.

" I understand that your sister is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. I supposed that even though you have tried to do a good job in taking care of her at home, her symptoms are getting worse.  I can see that you look very tired from the strain of taking care of her.  I would like to tell you something that can help your sister.  It is naturally magnetized water.  I have had good results giving this water to Alzheimer's patients,: I explained to her.

"Doctor Ohno, I have tried everything I can think of !  I cannot afford to bring my sister to health center and I cannot take care of her by myself anymore.  Let me try your water and see if at least this helps her.  Any improvement to her health will be appreciated !"

I delivered a case of the water to her home the next day. i instructed her to have her sister drink one bottle of water each day and to record any differences she saw in her sister's behaviour. 

After one month, she reported that her sister's cognitive functioning had improved.  Her eyes no longer looked dull, but sharp and alert. Her appetite had improved dramatically and she was able to walk much better.  After two months of drinking the water daily, she again began to distinguish people and recognize who they were! 

"Who am I ?" she asked when she and her sister visited me.

"You are my sister !" she answered.

"Doctor Ohno ! I cannot tell you what it means to me to have my sister recognize me again !  I have to tell you, i was really skeptical before trying your water . I am so glad you approached me and told me about your water !  I need you to explain what is happening to my sister and why this water is able to help her. " 

" I am so happy that your sister is improving so nicely ! Thank you very much for asking this question ! It has not been often since I came here that someone has wanted me to explain to them about this water . I believe that this water can help people with any disease, not just Alzheimer's ! 

I answered her as simply as I could. 

"There are 100 billion cells in the human brain, and the brain is made up of 90% water. One of the reasons Alzheimer's disease occurs is because of contamination of the water which composes the brain.  When the brain cells become contaminated, they lose electrons.  the brain cells then cease to function and they cannot send the information correctly.  This happens because the contaminated cells become disorganized and unstable.  SO the signals that normally create impulses that travel from one cell to another cell are no longer  in a stable environment and are unable to transfer information correctly.  My theory is that if we can improve the water in the brain, we can improve the responses of the brain.

The reason why naturally magnetized water helps to improve cognitive functioning, like memory, is because the water is highly organized. Once this water enters the cells of the brain, the cells become organized and the impulses once again connect.  Keep in mind this is a very simplistic explanation  , but it helps to give you an idea as to why the water is helping your sister." 

She was very surprised to hear my explanation. " I would never have believed your theory until I saw the results ! I am a chemist and I can see where the quality of the water would definitely impact the functioning. I just have never really thought it would affect it to that extent! "

"If you were not a chemist then perhaps you would not have understood my idea, I responded."

"Doctor Ohno, if you have so much trouble getting studies done at Health Center here and they do not appreciate  what this wonderful water could do for their patients, why don't you open up your own clinic ? Just think of the people you could help ! "

I was so appreciative of her suggestion. I had met very few people who were as kind and understanding as she was.  The compassion she had given to her sister , and the concern she was extending to me was heartfelt.
