Oriental Medicine: A Common Sense Approach to Health

It’s always better and easier to correct imbalances in your health, through small incremental changes, before they become a problem.

Oriental medicine is a common sense approach to health and wellbeing. And even though people today live in very different ways from one another, to the point where hardly anyone speaks of “common sense” anymore, the “common sense” is as available today as it ever was.

Sensing what’s happening with your health makes you aware of your body’s energy, what ancient Chinese doctors called “Chi.”

For example, when asked, “How are you?” - a very common way we say hello to each other these days - if you actually take a moment to check, it’s this pausing and pointing your awareness inward that let’s you know how you are. This is the ‘common sense’ that Oriental medicine asks you to engage with to better understand what your health situation is at any given time, and to know what you need to do to improve and maintain your health.

It Helps To Know Yourself

Use a little bit of time everyday to remember what makes you feel content.

Pay attention to what your body is always telling you about it’s health. By acknowledging that your body is intelligent, like your mind is intelligent, you open a channel of communication with that deeper part of yourself, and you become more aware of what you need to do to avoid getting sick or injured.

Use a little bit of time everyday to remember what makes you feel content, and in the process you’ll actually enjoy a moment of contentment. This is a great prescription for feeling good day by day.

Seasonal Retreats at BIOM

Staying Healthy

In Winter

Do you feel overworked? Just tired too much of the time? Are you unsure about whether or not you’re living your life in a way that can bring the fulfillment you yearn for? Or are you at a place in your life where it’s time to explore deeper aspects of yourself? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then a BIOM retreat is right for you.

At A BIOM Retreat
A BIOM retreat provides the atmosphere and structure for entering into yourself in a way that offers the opportunity to blend the mundane and magical aspects of your life, and provides methods for hearing - and listening to - your Inner Knowing. As a result you’ll get new, or remember old, ideas about how to redirect and recalibrate your ‘operating system’ so that you get your higher needs met - and fulfill your day-to-day responsibilities.

Your Point of View
As you develop the habit of looking inward, you’re much more likely to discover solutions that are there to be discovered, but have been unseen because of an overly outward focus. BIOM retreats help change your point of view so that you’re seeing the full spectrum of options and possibilities available in your life - and you may even find answers to questions you didn’t even ask.

The Toolbag
At BIOM retreats you’ll learn about, and gain experience, practicing and applying the basics of Chi Kung, Tai Chi, and Insight Journaling to the aspects of your life that are calling for special attention. This is done through personal quiet time, group exploration, and exuberant simplicity.

Come and learn new ways to do the ordinary things in your life in an extra-ordinary way; and then enjoy the personal and professional health and well-being that tends to follow along.

Learn More
Come and treat yourself to this experience, then when you go back to the day-to-day business of your life, you can use the memories and methods from your BIOM retreat to ‘re-treat’ yourself whenever you need to.
