OUR PATH
The Three Medicines
Healing involves different forms of medicine that address every dimension of one's well-being.
The mind is treated first, because everything else follows from it. Through sitting practice and the discipline of attention, we work with restlessness, agitation and scattered thinking — not by suppressing them, but by learning to meet them steadily.
Practices
- Zen Cultivation
- Meditation
- Mindfulness
Tangible medicine is the care you can point to: the diagnosis, the needle, the herb, the hands. Treatment is assessed individually and delivered in person at the clinic in Markham.
Practices
- Physical Medicine
- Traditional Chinese Medicine Remedies
- Acupuncture
Intangible medicine is what you take with you: a daily practice. These are methods of training the breath and the body that have been passed down through the Shaolin tradition, taught here step by step.
Practices
- Qigong
- Breathing Practices
- Changing Tendons Practice (Yijin Jing 易筋經)
- Marrow Washing Practice (Xisui Jing 洗髓經)
- Shaolin Practices
The three are not alternatives to choose between. They are one practice, approached from three directions.
