My Mom continued dancing here for exercise and eventually became interested in martial arts(how I got started, talked w/ginger about it in a chat) she was in her early 50’s and I was mid 20’s. In the system I trained there was the yin and yang to balance your art. My mother after several years of training , trained exclusively in the yin arts - Tai Chi, becoming a instructor and teaching in the school for 25 years. I was required to learn Tai Chi, but my first love was fighting and the yang arts (i was young and could handle the beatings) She and I became interested in Chinese/eastern medicine and would seek out people like your daughter. As we (Americans) become more educated in alternative medicine , we will see the benefits in the alternative choices. Thank u to your daughter. Sounds like she has had a interesting life. U too bill54321 virgo😊

Thank you

Enjoyed reading your response to Bill, Virgo. Always interesting to learn more about people and their talents and impressed by your training in Tai Chi and the yang arts.

It continues to mystify me that with all the advances of "modern medicine" our country has been so reluctant to implement more alternative medical practices into mainstream treatments. Chinese acupuncture brought the relief I desperately sought after a spine injury. Occasional articles about the success of using hypnosis in some types of surgeries do not gain momentum. I just don't understand the U.S. reluctance to use more alternative methods that can be of benefit. Some wheels have been turning effectively for thousands of years and yet many still believe we have to reinvent new ones every generation...just bewildering to me.
