Chinese medicine and physical exercise
Lately, I’ve been considering any holes I can find in my Classical Chinese Medicine education here at NCNM. Amazingly, there aren’t many. It’s hard to put together a top notch program in any topic, much less one as complicated as ...
Deepest Health LIVES!
It’s true, my friends, Deepest Health is still around. It’s been a couple of weeks since I posted, but I shall fail you no more. I needed some time to rejuvenate my brain and - perhaps more than that - reevaluate why I created this blog...
How would a sage care for the planet?
April has already begun and I’ve spent quite a bit of time thinking about the habit I would like to develop in pursuit of a more sagely existence. First, let’s recap what was said in the inaugural Year of Sagely Living post: April - Lar...
Learning how to keep life in balance
It’s time for my March Year of Sagely Living update! I believe that my efforts were successful, overall. My true goal this month was two-fold. First, I wanted to pay close attention to the two hour time periods associated with each organ sys...
Why I am about to become slave to the clock

What do my personal finances have to do with Classical Chinese herbal formulas?
As part of my February Year of Sagely Living commitment, I am listening to Steven Covey’s Principle Centred Leadership on audiobook. It’s a wonderful theory Mr. Covey has put forward and I look forward to discussing it in more detail her...

The importance of the Spleen in studying Classical Chinese Medicine

Five simple ways I get more than 24 hours in a day

In personal development - one size does not fit all
As I complete a double write-up of Fall term 2007 classes (part of my Year of Sagely Living commitment), I thought of a few items I would like to add to my description of the project. Many of you are very busy, like me. You may find it hard to beli...
My commitment to excellence in scholarship

Doctor as medical sage: why the Year of Sagely Living is important
