Medicinal Herbs

Learn about traditional medicinal herbs, and herbs as food. Taken further, organic matter is an energy interference pattern interfacing with our own bodily and environmental patterns.

Tips are in the physical structure of plant healing properties. Thus, plants from harsh climates, or those that have thick, impenetrable skins, or spikes, are more likely to have healing properties.

Distillations, powders, mixtures, oils and concentrations of common tree leaves, bark, roots, flowers, nuts, seeds, historically have been relied on as potent and effective treatments for the body. Think in terms of co-evolution of millions of years. Trees sustained ape-like human ancestors, so there is a high degree of synchronicity and symbiotic chemistry likely.

Master Li Ching-Yuen

One of his disciples, the Taiji Quan Master Da Liu told of Master Li's story: at 130 years old Master Li encountered an older hermit in the mountains who taught him Bagua Zhang and a set of Qigong with breathing instructions, movements training coordinated with specific sounds, and dietary recommendations. Da Liu reports that his master said that his longevity was due to the fact that I performed the exercises every day - regularly, correctly, and with sincerity for 120 years.
