RE: Hello SteemWorld (my belated introduction!)
Welcome welcome welcome! I know we’ve already had great discussions, but it’s wonderful to have learned a little bit more about yourself. I have a very strong proponent of mind medicine myself as I work very closely with my mind through meditation and mindfulness in order to work towards treating schizophrenia without pharmaceutical drugs. That’s awesome that you practice and taught Chen Tai Chi! I have personally been thinking about trying to find a good practitioner in my area, I took one college class on it and it was great. Anyway, thanks for the awesome introduction keep up the great work especially with the interviews!!
That's awesome @alchemage, I used to teach at a local college in Denver a night a week, it was so cool to see young people learning tai chi... And the people who would get really excited about it! Teaching is always worth it, but I'm not sad to be taking a break from it for a while.
Bravo for managing illness naturally. In western culture mental illness (especially BP, schizophrenia) is so often treated as an illness... I mean that vs. the way its treated in other cultures, where a person with schizophrenia would be "adopted" by the whole village, and seen as an awakening soul who just needs a little help and guidance. They turn out to be the great natural healers of the world sometimes, and I think that maybe it holds true for some in western society, who have the open-mindedness to see it as a stepping stone rather than a death sentence.
Thanks for sharing, and gratitude for your presence! On steemit and also for showing up as yourself in the world. I can tell, you practice that well! 😊🙏
