Prayer doesn’t just happen when we kneel or put hands together and focus.
When you hug a friend that’s a prayer.
When you cook something to nourish family and friends, that’s a prayer.
When we send off our near and dear ones and say “Drive Safely or Be Safe”, that’s prayer too.
When you are helping someone in need by giving your time, energy and money, you are praying.
Prayer is a Vibration.
A feeling.
A thought.
Prayer is the voice of love, friendship, genuine relationships.
By training, I am a American Board Certified Pediatrician. But in my younger years I grew up with natural alternatives. As a mom I have tried to incorporate both for my kids and it has worked wonders. And finally, as I am studying natural & alternative medicines, I realize the beauty and wisdom of living closer to earth. Hence in my practice I integrate both...for acute ailments I follow American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation but for simple and/or chronic conditions I prefer natural alternatives.
In western training we were raised to think that "health is the absence of symptoms and problems". But eastern sensibilities has educated me that "Health is state that allows one to use the full capabilities of their body, mind and intellect. Therefore, healthy living is a balanced state of well being: physically, mentally, socially and spiritually." This implies that healing is not a "one-pill-fits-all", but a personalized experience.
