Being invited to submit an article on the theme of ‘Loving Now’ my first thought was to write about the heart, as it is in traditional Chinese medicine; the emperor of the organs, the seat of the soul and the transmitter of love. I was going to write about the chi-cycle time of the heart, the magical two hours between 11am and 1pm each day when you have an audience with the emperor, when you are closest to your soul and to your purpose. This is the time of the Fire element, when you can fan the flames of your love and spread this to your partner. But traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is nothing if not practical and successful relationships are about much more than the heart. A healthy sex life is considered essential as well and this means a compatible sex drive is important. If you are in a relationship with someone that you love but you have a mismatched sex drive it doesn’t matter what your heart is up to, you are heading for an emotional challenge. Our sex drive is connected to our kidneys not our heart. So really on the topic of Loving Now I should be writing a long, poetic essay about kidneys, but it just doesn’t sound romantic. If you mention ‘kidneys’ people tend to think of a dish you can order in a restaurant, and one that no one really likes. But in a good relationship our kidneys play just as an important role as our heart does. They store our life force, known as jing and this is directly connected to our sex life. But our kidneys are also ‘the mother of yin and yang’ and in TCM everything is about yin and yang including sex and relationships, so this is the angle I’m going to explore the idea of Loving Now from.
Chi Cycle Discussions
The Chi needs to flow freely otherwise we can’t fulfill our mission. I’m even convinced that over half of Western medicines wouldn’t be needed if daily morning exercises were in place. Life in the physical is heavy. The trick is to merge with the heaviness, take on the load, transcend deeply into it and push through it while focusing on acceptance. Stagnation is the killer; transformation is the medicine.

I meet a lot of people who decide to become ‘good’ but stuff up after a few days, get disheartened and believe they aren’t cut out for it. That’s natural. In Chinese medicine perfection is a vision – we strive towards it. Every stuff-up is a reference point for what we don’t want, while every good day is a reference for what we do want. Over time, good days gain in power because bad days become the inspiration for a perfect day. Continue reading ‘Thoughts on Chi-Cycle Difficulties…’
The secrets to a meaningful life and, I believe, the very meaning of life itself, lies in our etheric body and the chi-cycle. If we follow the cycle during the day, over time we can experience what I call ‘the sleep of meaning’ at night. Our Hun, or ethereal soul, travels to the astral world and returns with advice about why we are here. Our soul purpose becomes clearer so each day we are more in-flow with who we really are and what our destiny is, and our actions will reflect this. As the soul comes fully forward, you will feel fulfilled and happiness and joy arise. You will understand the meaning of your life and what you really need will come to you. The chi-cycle is like the universe’s satellite navigation system. The final location is locked in for us, we just have to follow the directions to attract our destiny through what I call etherically integrated goal setting. If we are not connected to this master program our etheric system can’t function properly, we don’t have clarity and we make decisions or set material goals that may not necessarily harmonise with our soul purpose. Ultimately this can prove destructive to our health. Continue reading ‘THE CHI CYCLE AND THE MEANING OF LIFE’
When I wrote my book The Perfect Day Plan, I thought I’d created the ultimate success book. Simply by rescheduling everything, from meals to board meetings to sex, to a time that is beneficial for your organs, you can conserve energy and, better still, access powerful universal forces. This is what I call a chi-cycle lifestyle. It allows you to work smarter not harder so an eight-hour workday should be all you need to get things done. You can go home and switch off during Kidney time (5pm – 7pm), have quality time with family, sleep deeply and wake refreshed, keen to switch back on during colon time, (5am – 7am), feeling so energetic and productive you can achieve all your goals in half the time. It all sounded good to me but many of my successful clients read the book and then said there was no way they could live like that, they couldn’t afford the time. They had to be at the office by 7am at the latest and never left before 7pm (plenty of employees live the same way). The prime drive behind this work ethic was the desire to succeed usually in the form of acquiring material goods. If that meant working really hard and putting health on the backburner, well that was just part of the price that had to be paid. Continue reading ‘CAN YOU BE SUCCESSFUL AND HEALTHY?

In my clinic I am now regularly seeing female clients who are sexually dissatisfied because their husbands or partners no longer want sex with them. At the same time, I treat large numbers of male clients who are internet porn users and no longer feel like having sex with their wives or girlfriends. This is an historically unprecedented situation. Back in the day you could buy a Penthouse or Playboy magazine, not purely for their excellent articles, but it was rare to find anyone who preferred that experience to a human sexual encounter. This is one side-effect of internet porn usage that is problematical but the other is the physical, spiritual and emotional implications of exchanging chi or energy with an electronic stimulus.
I am absolutely amazed by the Chi-cycle’s ability to induce weight loss and to create the perfect weight. There are countless diets out there; most of them are ineffective and create more problems than solutions, however the power and simplicity of the Chi-cycle diet is utterly astonishing. I regularly treat clients who loose 2kg – 3kg a week without eating less – just by eating in accord with their personal energetic constitution and by following the path of Yin and Yang. Most of my clients who present with weight problems loose an average of 20kg after three month of Chi-cycle living and regular acupuncture. Not one of my clients ever needed to starve themselves, nor did they suffer from food cravings as the Chi-cycle lifestyle and the acupuncture constantly correct the imbalances that lead to cravings.
The Chi-cycel is the ultimate medicine for our contemporary times to achieve a life of inner peace while looking and feeling really really good 
If you want a daily update or reminder on Chi-cycle wisdom please follow me on Twitter:
There is no doubt anymore that we are in the midst of a massive global transformation. Obviously the Chi-cycle plays an important part in this shift as it provides stability and “predictability” during times of intense transitions. As we are forced to rely less and less on “things, facts and behaviours of the past” we are in danger of loosing control, hope and stamina, but its the Chi-cycle which will compensate for the loss of the “old” and to offer a solid ground. I consider the Chi-cycle as a platform to the new consciousness.
Apart from following the Chi-cycle I recommend to visit Ervin Laszlo’s website. In particular check out the three part video by Jude Currivam available for download on his website. Happy browsing:
Please follow the link to read about a great interview about 2012. Truly uplifting ‘sensible facts’ by well-known Anthropologist Alberto Villoido Ph.D. His recommendations for becoming a safe person instead of trying to find a ‘safe spot’ blends in perfectly with the Chi-cycle. If you ‘need’ some motivation to follow the Chi-cycle or if you want to put the Chi-cycle in context to the future of humanity then click on this link. You’ll love it.
