According to Dr. Barbara Starfield,
M.D., Professor of Health Policy and Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins
University, heart disease
is still the No. 1 cause of death in America, cancer is No. 2, and
healthcare-related mistakes, drug overdose and errors during surgical
procedures are ranked as No. 3. America spends more than $25 trillion every year
treating illness rather than preventing it.
Chronic diseases such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes wreck our
quality of life and cost a fortune. In
recent years, a new and intriguing concept has emerged in the prevention and
treatment of chronic illness: the health coach. - CBS News, October 2009.
Preventative healthcare has a
powerful impact by improving our
overall fitness and vigor. Well-trained professionals are able to teach
us Dr. Helen Hu
how to adopt healthy habits, practice self-healing,
and lead full, vibrant lives.
For centuries, longevity through
happiness and wellbeing has helped humans thrive. Yet today’s sophisticated medical
technologies provide limited options to attain the skills necessary to cope
with our highly competitive, fast-paced modern society. Achieving inner happiness - a healthy mind,
body and spirit - to increase longevity is not a new concept. However, it is a new stage of evolution
available to every individual worldwide.
Professionals in various types of
health practices have sought methods to increase longevity and wellbeing;
however, the focus has been to create a standard measurement, a magical elixir,
or a single method to fit every person instead of focusing on individual needs.
Chinese wisdom traditions and ancient
philosophy offer many keys to longevity.
Eminent doctors from centuries past and the Daoist way of life present
similar essential concepts toward attaining longevity: inner peace; physical
and mental strength and balance; daily meditation; a simple, natural diet; and
Qi Gong, an exercise that increases a smooth flow of energy throughout the
body.
Modern research supports the
effectiveness of this ancient knowledge.
The practices of Qi Gong and daily meditation have been shown in recent
studies to restore physical energy, improve sleep, increase a sense of
wellbeing, and improve overall physical health.
From historic to modern times, China
has been home to many specialized schools focused on the Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM) model of “Yang Sheng” which translates to “Nurturing Life.” Today we describe “Nurturing Life” as “Longevity
and Wellbeing.” In the Chinese culture,
a long, fruitful life arises from combining TCM and Daoist philosophy.
Dr. Hu conducts her Mind Body Spirit
Longevity coaching by combining TCM and Daoism with her wealth of knowledge
gained during many years as a TCM doctor.
Dr. Hu’s practice focuses on Yang Sheng, or Longevity and Wellbeing,
using Qi Meditation to create a clear flow of the body’s energy while
meditating.
Every session with Dr. Hu includes
coaching in these methods. Each individual will discover profound inner
strength, find their unique path to happiness, and gain an understanding of how
to best support their specific body requirements. Each person gains the intuitional ability to
create and maintain a self-healing lifestyle filled with inner peace.
Who is a candidate for Dr. Hu’s coaching?
People from all walks of life want happiness and
long life. Everyone gains self-knowledge during sessions focused on good health
for the mind, body and spirit. Even
those with long-term emotional stress, deep feelings of guilt, a chronic health
condition, or terminal illness will find enormous benefit during these
sessions.
How many sessions will I attend?
There are 8 sequential steps. Each step is taught as a workshop. Some
students may choose to have two or three coaching sessions in order to master
certain steps.
How long is each session?
Approximately 60 to 90 minutes.
How much does it cost?
