Hi folks, Just returned from Shanghai back to Hong Kong.
Seems global warming has really affected Asia, we have had a record number of typhoons, been through 2 in Shanghai and arrived back in hong kong via Dragonair bumping along a very rough ride.God was very busy as i prayed for safety and protection the whole way.
I spent a lot of time reading Christopher Hansard's book on Tibetan Buddhist medicine.
some of the ways are so simplistic that any ordinary layman can understand the simple teachings towards health and healing physically and spiritually.
as i grow older and look back on my patterns in life i see that i am a seeker, i seem to be meandering through all the great mainline religions, take what I want and leave the man made dogmas, to apply the principles to our lives, to understand what makes us tick,the journey is to live more effectively and that means constantly to spiritually dedicate our lives to a better place.
Nowhere have i found it harder than dealing with family relationships, it's at home that we are tested. close relationships can send me into chaotic tumultuous emotions . the only way I can work through them into peace and serenity is through prayer and by communicating with a close friend or close friendships outside the family.
the hardest part is to pray, hand over your problems to god and say to yourself you have let go , let god, then take it all back 20 minutes later.
I sometimes dedicate doing the washing up, washing a tea cup to God and that brings me back into living in the moment.Mental discipline and self control it's all part of living in His ways. Noone ever said it is easy.
Love and peace,
Halkush
