It’s actually something I’ve wanted to be since as far back as I can remember. It includes helping people to resolve problems that cause stress in their lives. I’ve helped more than a few people in this way, and in setting and achieving their goals, resolving relationship problems, and even understanding how to move away from a state of angst or even depression. I’ve even helped a few friends understand that suffering from Dyslexia does not make them stupid.

While I’ve entertained thoughts of being an alternative health practitioner, such as in deep massage, ayurveda, homeopathy or naturopathy, my own current health limits me to simply writing about healing. At least until I can heal myself physically, after which I will more seriously consider some form of practice.

For now, I’ll dream for my brother, who intends to become a naturopath. And I’ll continue writing. So my new path is the same as my old path: to follow the sutra of the Medicine Buddha in whatever way that I can interpret it, as necessary.
