When do I need to work with a qualified health practitioner?


Nourishing the body in a world full of distractions is like swimming upstream.
There is so much information out there, it's hard to know where to start.


Vegan, carnivore's diet, south beach?
.

What is right for me?

Or,

Perhaps I know precisely where to start.
And for a week, or two,
I can focus on it, long enough to see a change.

Yet, I get distracted and lose all my progress.

This same pattern repeats over and over again. . .

until I begin doubting whether I was even doing the right thing in the first place.

I lose trust in myself, and at some point make due with the situation, unchanged, as it is. I don't progress, and my condition remains the same or worse.

.
At Wushing Wellness, a White Salmon-based wellness center, we have over 16 years of professional training and experience in designing custom health programs to help patients address the roots of the physical emotional and mental suffering, while gaining the skills to ensure lasting health and happiness for life.

Treatment methods include education, soothing the nervous system (asian massage and traditional medicine), healing and strengthening (tai chi-infused exercise programs), and actualizing the highest potential for life (health coaching and education programs).

This provides an understanding of what is most important to health,

and how to provide this education in the most efficient
and sustaining Way.


This means no running around in circles like a chicken with it's head cut off,
or like a rodent on the hamster wheel.


We place your hamster wheel on the highway to health,
and place safety bars along the road.

.

Like a bowling lane with bumpers, you will undeniably strike health!


πŸ₯‘πŸ” We stand on the sidelines, cheering, helping you understand the balance between rest, and perseverance.

πŸ”₯ We hold the focus, stoke the motivation, and keep the fire at the perfect temperature.

πŸ– Ensuring you spend no more effort than is absolutely necessary for embodying healing and health.


*Graduating from patient to self-guided practitioner* . . .


As you become ready, we hand you the map to health (yes we have many published materials) - continuing to share until the most important details are embodied.


Will it take time? Yes!

But far less than attempting to do it all on your own.


That wasn't working anyways. . .


Will it take some investment? Of course.


But far less than the financial and emotional costs of preventable disease, their related medications and surgeries.


"The first health is wealth"
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Here's our New Piano Album! It's a spring vignette of 60 bpm pieces, reflecting the transitional dance between summer and winter.

Featuring pieces such as "Dance of the Seasons" "Springtime Clarity" and "Mah", crafted with love!

Listen to "Appolio - 60 BPM Music for Relaxation, Meditation, Tai Chi Yoga" here: https://youtu.be/oWl3J9VCO-A

*More about 60 bpm music and this album*

Tune out the noise.

Find peace. Let inspiration flow!

60 bpm sound healing synthesizes tranquility, sound science, and Chinese Medical Music. Composed by Dr. Timothy Motoyuki Prag, Doctor of Science in Oriental Medicine, Health Education Design Programmer, Licensed Manual Therapist, Certified Medical Chi Gong Teacher.

60 Beats Per Minute (BPM)is the lower end of average, resting heart rate (60-100 bpm). Because it is close to the body's rhythms, it connects with the heart-brain and entices them into a slower rhythm.

This is what makes our music so effective at improving calm, helping our listeners focus or study,

helping with reducing stress-anxiety-adhd,
resting more deeply, and healing more fully.

The music may be used to facilitate transformational states, such as through meditation.

When the breath moves in harmony with the music (with every chord change/4 beats/seconds),

it matches the epsilon frequency (0.1-.5 cycles/second (ie 'hertz') found in advanced meditators -

associated with enhanced restfulness and oxygen efficiency - a state some scholars describe as 'similar to hibernation'.

-

To use 60 beats-per-minute music for relaxation, healing, rest or study, turn on, enjoy, and continue as you were.

-

To use 60 Beats-Per-Minute Music as meditation aid:

Option 1. Just listening. Try to lay down and activate the whole body just by noticing the tips of the fingers, the tips of the toes and the back of the neck at the same time. Through gently engaging these areas - try to entice - with the least amount of effort - awareness into the entire body. Continue to practice this for 20 min or more (or at least 8 min if new).

Option 2. Organize Breathing and Movement
In the soundtrack, each chord change is 4 seconds.
Breathe in for one change, and breath out for one change.
Or time your tai chi or yoga sequences to the chord changes.
As the body warms up, slow things down, gradually increasing to 8 or 12 seconds per breath or movement. Notice how subtle awareness grows in the slower states.

Other potent infusions in this music: Organ-tones. Classical medicine links specific tones to different organ systems, emotions, and regions of the body.

Read the description for our album "Elemental Healing Sounds" to learn more; and our album "Momentum" to explore deeper.

Here's the link to Elemental Healing Sounds! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dadisjcjqtk

- Album name and description -

Appollio was the word that arose once completing the final recording for this album, - which is a collection of pieces recorded with presence at 60 beats-per-minute.

The album is not as thematic as prior or future releases - more of a way of getting things moving again; like the budding and blossoming of flowers after a deep winter's rest.

Appollio appears to be an older version of "Apollo".

In greek mythology, Appollo is the god of light, music, prophecy, healing, and archery.

It is also the name of the NASA space program that landed humans on the moon.

Hey! How did you use this music?
What was your experience?
Let us know below!

I look forward to chatting!

🦩 An affirmation you may practice.
Peace can flow from many things.
Past a certain amount of input, you will not find it in your phone or on the screen. Though a little may help.

When the body is nourished by consistent and adequate hydration and nutrition, the mind guided by a central purpose, and the heart settled through the right connections, peace is easier to achieve.

πŸ’§πŸ₯¬πŸ πŸ— πŸšΆπŸ”οΈπŸ™πŸ»πŸ€πŸ‘

The images above may help communicate these central truths to the unconscious mind. You may consider taking a screenshot and putting somewhere you will see often.

Sometimes . . .

finding peace evades our best efforts. And we need a little help from our friends. 🀝

If you are in this camp, or have other health challenges you would like holistic support in working through -

We've made the ancient science of cultivating tranquility accessible even to the most anxious of minds.

Putting it into practice won't always be easy. . . given that patients are often working against years if not a lifetime of anxiety or dis-ease producing- conditioning.

We will supply the path, and stoke the motivation that keeps you focused long enough to ensure your gains in health, tranquility, clarity, and strength - permeate your life in a sustainably way.

Instead of running in circles, wasting your energy - your investment will go somewhere special - step-by-step towards better health.
