Half full or half empty: 01 （London)

I'd learned to do energy adjustment in March, taught by the founders of 長生學 / Longevitology (LG).  

So, in addition to my massages and gardening, I’ve taken on a couple of Parkinson’s cases (one 73 years old, one 84), a 97-year-old lady (daughter said she detects onset of dementia), an 86-year-old kidney case, and his 82-year-old diabetic wife.

These are all private arrangements (but free as all LG adjustment treatments are), in addition to my regular Saturday LG adjustment stint at a community centre as a volunteer — I need 40 official practice sessions to be eligible for the Advanced level course.  Advanced practitioners can adjust people long distance — down the phone line and on Zoom, so I’m very keen to progress to that point so that I can cover a bigger geographical area. 

This is the WhatsApp-message conversation between me and a friend.

Friend:  You sound busy. 

Me:  Trying to use my body before it packs up.

Friend:  Less likely to pack up if you use it!

Me:  Haha, depends on how you look at it: half full or half empty.  I once said, in defence of my carrying a rucksack, to an English chap (who said I was like a tortoise) that weight bearing is supposed to be good for building up bone density and warding off osteoporosis.  He said, “But you end up with a hunchback!”  So using my body could make the muscles stronger from the exercise.  Or: make the body weaker from the wear and tear.

Inadvertent word play (London)

I’ve just learned a new skill:  the channelling of cosmic energy to adjust a person’s balance of 氣/气 qì.  

The practitioners of Longevitology (LG; 長生學 cháng shēng xué / "long life study") have an impressive success record with cancer, stroke, and all other conditions of the internal organs that my style of massage cannot reach (or not to the same deep level).

I’ve been telling people about it, encouraging them to come along for the free adjustment sessions.

My reply to an ex-student’s email asking how I’ve been says:

LG is adjusting people’s 气 balance using cosmic energy through their chakras.  All free of charge.
