Let me first congratulate David, his team and all those who share their knowledge and commitment to self growth on these pages. For me it is as if I'm coming home!
My own life long spiritual commitment and my passion as a health and human potential educator has led me through continuous study of Western and Eastern health and expansion-of-consciousness disciplines.
Claremont Experiment for Human Potential, which I founded in 1969 here in Toronto, became a hub and a platform for enlightenment by such trailblazers as Laura Huxley, Alan Watts, Houston Smith, Virginia Satir, others. With their presentations and books they opened up the Way which has quietly resonated through the years. Now, with our unified commitment to self growth it is finally becoming a blessed mainstream movement.
My counceling work and studies of all spiritual traditions, especially Sufi and Chinese have continued through the years. When I decided to study ancient Chinese medicine in depth, I realized that here is a health system through which I can bring some of my spiritual understanding into a usable format.
Now, after eighteen years of hands-on practice of Acupuncture (Lic.Ac., Dipl.Ac. NCCA) and Allied Health Sciences (PhD) I write for my naturally evolving website Aha! Chi - Creative Health Alternatives. The site aims to offer everything a reader wants to know about ancient Chinese Medicine with its step by step map for conscious unfoldment of what we truly are; one Energy - one Being!
By understanding the essentials of TCM and by using needle free Acupuncture, Herbal Remedies, Tao Meditations and generative Force resting within, the participants can become masters of their wellness and transformation of consciousness.
Looking forward to our sharing, Anna at: http://www.ahachi.com

As you read about the ancient Chinese Medicine you'll discover that although it is less analytical than our Western Medicine, it is brilliant in its unifying logic.
Traditional Chinese Medicine describes health and illness in relation to the natural laws operating in the mysterious intermingling of 'heaven, earth and man'. Tao, the Way of balancing Yin and Yang is present in even in quantum objects of life, and its power is here for us to use when the laws are understood.
The profound knowledge presented in 'Huang Di Nei Jing' (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine) is a summary of medical knowledge and practice up to 500-300 BC when it was compiled by unknown authors.
It carries a wholistic message. In order to completely heal a person, acupuncture, herbs and other modalities are only parts of the treatment. Through integration of the body, mind and spirit we gain the necessary 'confidence to conquer illness'.
Nei Jing says, "When people lack the confidence to conquer illness, they allow the spirit to scatter and wither away. They let their emotions take control of their lives. They spend their days drowned in desires and worries, exhausting their Jing essence, their Chi and Shen spirit. Of course then, even with these other modalities, the disease will not be cured."
Instructions were given on how to clear the energy systems of the body in order to unify its function with the laws of nature and the greater cosmos. Helping the person toward 'Tao of Health', even to inspire him/her to work toward longevity and the glorious destiny of enlightenment, a birthright of every human being, was an important aspect of acupuncture doctor's work.
Writing my pages is a modest and sincere attempt toward this noble goal.
I would be happy if someone would help me to make the following video work on this page. See my contact page. Thanks.
This short YouTube video focuses on the possibilities inherent within every human being. The time has come for all of us to understand the biological mechanism of the Generative Force, which can be awakened and guided with diligent practice toward endless ocean of creativity even cosmic consciousness.
