Dr. Kerry and her journey to becoming interested in the holistic approach to health and wellness and the preventative path to pain-free living.  She says: “Natural solutions to everything. Health(y) is a choice. You Hold the Power to Heal.”

In Dr. Kerry’s first podcast… at 13 minutes and 10 seconds into the podcast … ” ….I always believed that there is a natural solution or treatment to anything having to do with the body…   I truly believe that disease starts in the gut… and prevention is always the strongest medicine… what that has in common with chiropractic … is prevention”

Dr. Kerry Lilley has 2 offices – in Benicia and in El Cerrito, California https://chiropracticbenicia.com/

“As an internal organ and reproductive organ specialist, I feel the way your internal organs, tissues, fluids, energy, bones are responding, and gently assist to coordinate them for better communication and function.  You relax and let go of tensions, stored emotions, becoming more vibrant, more yourself.  Adhesions and scar tissue:  from C-sections, surgery, accidents, are also released for more energy flow and movement.”

Dr. Victoria Sweet says:

“I went to Stanford and majored in mathematics, minored in classics. I was always split between science and the humanities. Then I started a PhD program at Harvard in psychology, but realized that medicine would work better for me than basic research. Because to be a good doctor you have to be a scientific humanist and a humanistic scientist.

“Getting a grip on pain and the brain – Professor Lorimer Moseley – Successful Ageing Seminar 2013?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p6sbi_0lLc

Professor Lorimer Moseley says:

“What we now understand about pain.

“The mechanisms that cause us to change in a good way can also cause us to change in a way that makes our lives more difficult and more unpleasant.

“If you have a brain, you will experience pain. If you don’t have a brain, you won’t experience pain.

“We feel pain in our body, and, we feel it in a particular location, but, it is impossible to feel pain without a brain, and, it is completely possible to feel pain without the body part.”

 *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

Danielle Rosenman, M.D. says:

“The brain changes itself constantly throughout our entire lives. All of our experience changes the brain.

“Everything that we experience, think, feel, believe, and learn changes the physical structure of the brain, the chemicals in the brain, and electricity in the brain.

“This ability of the brain to change is called neuroplasticity.

“Neuroplasticity lets us learn through our entire lives.  The more often we repeat a task, the better we learn it. Repetition helps us learn things like reading, adding numbers, or playing a musical instrument. We often call this type of learning ‘practice’.”

During neuroplasticity coaching, Dr. Danielle Rosenman instructs:  “Smile for yourself and talk out loud to your brain. When you learn to talk to your brain, you are opening up a new life.”

Hi I’m Dusky. Welcome to my world of wonders.

I’m so glad to share with you some discoveries about our planet, its inhabitants and the universe that I have found to be awesome, funny, or just plain weird.

Did you know that spending time feeling appreciation or amusement is good for us? The more we purposely tune into moments of positive experience, the easier it becomes to notice them because we have literally made changes in our brain circuitry. This website is my way to immerse my brain in wondrous things.

As a psychotherapist with an office in Oakland, California and also seeing clients on Zoom, every day I’m aware of the impact that brain circuitry makes, creating our habits of mind and feelings. Learn more about my therapy practice.

Otherwise, have a great time wandering through the world’s wonders.

Enjoy!

Dear Reader,

I wish you and everyone around you … vibrant health, peace and laughter always.

For me, illness comes and goes, comes again and goes again … I smile to help my Brain boost production of dopamine and serotonin…to benefit my immune system.

https://www.nbcnews.com/better/health/smiling-can-trick-your-brain-happiness-boost-your-health-ncna822591

The kindness from my sister, elders, mentors, friends, neighbors, Angels… around the world led me to this moment.

Recently… when friends from San Francisco and San Bruno heard about my attempts and determination to see them …  they changed their plans and carpooled to Benicia to see me. They gave me an afternoon that my Brain will associate the moments with happiness and gratitude.

Friends who let me house-sit for them. Friends who ask their siblings and friends to rent me their places at my modest budget. Friends who come visit me. Friends who drive me to see other friends. Friends who help me organize my worldly possessions in storage. Friends who wish me wellness via email, message, voicemail and postal mail. Everyone who sends me happy thoughts.  I thank everyone with all my heart.

Right now, April 15, I am watching (again) NOEL, the movie that stars Susan Sarandon, Penélope Cruz, Robin Williams, Paul Walker, Alan Arkin, John Doman, et al.

Ms. Sarandon’s character Rose Collins is visiting her despondent mother in the hospital. She shows her mom an angel (one that would fit on top of a Christmas tree) but her mom is not responding. Rose notices the patient across the hall, under blanket, not moving, alone. She enters the room, hangs the angel on the window blind. When she turns around to leave,  she is startled by a man sitting in a chair near the door. She had not seen him when she entered ….

at 51 minutes into the movie Dr. Baron (portrayed by John Doman) tells Rose that even though her mom has lost her memory and the ability to recognize people .. one thing she’ll never lose is her emotions… that she can sense and she can feel … that’s why we tell family members to touch… to talk….

According to https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/noel

“English speakers borrowed the word noel from French. It can be traced further back to the Latin word natalis, which can mean “birthday” as a noun or “of or relating to birth” as an adjective.

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

Thank you, writers, continuity editors, actors, directors, producers, casts, crews, casting directors, et al!

I love laughing with kooky and kindhearted characters in sitcoms.

My father suffered from Parkinsonian Disorder.  The disease impacted the safety of his walking.

I felt a great sense of accomplishment (after reading Norman Doidge, M.D.’s book The Brain’s Way of Healing

… especially Chapter 2 “A Man Walks Off His Parkinsonian Symptoms”

and learning how to ask Papa’s neurologist the right questions)…

Questions that led Dr. White to  order “specific” physical therapy for Papa – therapy NOT for injuries like a broken leg from a skiing accident but therapy for movement disorders -  to help Papa reverse the Parkinson’s “shuffling” gait and “freezing” gait as well as improve posture. Thank you, Dr. White!

The Brain is smart. When one set of instructions “doesn’t connect” another set of instructions will. At one appointment with neurologist Dr. Luthra when she said to my father: “Let me see you walk.”

I offered information: “Dr. Luthra, when Papa is at a doorway to enter or leave a room, and, at elevators (lifts) … his legs lock … he can’t move. That’s dangerous when the elevator door closes and he cannot move. Or when his walker gets caught by a rug that is not properly secured to the floor.”

Dr. Luthra stepped out of her small office and stood in the hallway, facing Papa. She smiled, gestured for Papa to walk out of the room.  At the threshold, his legs wouldn’t cooperate. He lurched forward with his walker, but his legs couldn’t move.

Dr. Luthra: “Mr. Leung, keep one hand on your walker, raise your other arm.” She demonstrated. She raised her right arm straight up. She added: “Raising your arm tells your Brain that you want to move.”

Papa kept his left hand on his walker, he raised his right arm, then lowered it back to the walker

I watched with astonishment as he and his walker walked out the room with ease.

Later, Movement Disorder Physical Therapist Brenda taught Papa more tricks to help his Brain and his Body talk to each other, learn from each other.

If I hadn’t learned what I had learned from Dr. Norman Doidge, M.D.’s books and asked my father’s physicians the right questions, perhaps my father wouldn’t have received the level of attention from people who had the power to prescribe and deliver specific therapies, specific treatments… appropriate to Papa’s needs.

One day I was thinking out loud to my dear friend Sue R.  I said: “I wish there was a Chinese edition of Dr. Doidge’s book. Papa would benefit so much if he could read Chapter 2 himself.” Sue told me that Wen Hsu worked with publishers in Taiwan.

Fast forward….  Wen contacted the publisher in Taiwan who was translating  THE BRAIN’S WAY OF HEALING into Chinese. Wen wrote to the editor, explained to her/him about my father’s situation; the editor emailed Wen the “advance copy” of Chapter 2.  One of the happiest moments in my life was presenting Papa those pages – Chinese transalation of “A Man Walks Off His Parkinsonian Symptoms – How Exercise Helps Fend Off Degenerative Disorders and Can Defer Dementia”

Then, when the Chinese edition came out in print, Wen helped me order many copies of the book from the publisher in Taiwan.

 ****

Papa and his friends read this wonderful book in their native language.  I am forever grateful.

Dear Readers

I wish you peace, vibrant health and happiness.

As a writing coach, I remind my dear clients to  showcase “tags” on their websites and media kits – tags are keywords and key phrases – author’s name, book titles, themes, messages, mission statements  (synonymous with their platforms) -  to help readers  find the authors and their books on cyberspace.

As a person who needs resources for myself and for loved ones, I type combinations of “tags” to find sites that would lead me to experts, services, information I need.

May you have the energy to conduct the research or have a loyal advocate to help you plow though resources.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Know what site you are looking at.  Is it a government website? Government sites are .gov (not .com, not .net)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Are you a senior who wants to work from home?

Loving family members and friends love helping each other …  especially when research and advocacy require team work.

My 2018 artist statement for A PLACE OF HER OWN Exhibition which ran May 12 through June 24, 2018 at J-SEI in Emeryville, California.

Teresa Jade LeYung

Four smoothened wood boxes represent my dream home ? a place where I can balance the four areas of my life.  The green, blue, pink, gold (from paintings and mixed media art created by Cynthia Tom, Cris Matos, Chandra Garsson, Maria K.W. Leung) represent my affinity with Nature.

I dream of four desks so that I would not have to constantly clear off table space to make room for one project while having to put away my other projects.

All that I do and want to do are equally precious to me.  Just as there are four points on a compass, my four desks will allow me to go forward with my work with clarity.

And, when I say work, I am talking about what makes me want to get up each morning with a smile on my face and a spring in my walk.  I think beauty. I become beauty.

I transform “I was” to “I AM”

I was a child witness to family violence.

I was a frightened immigrant.

I was an adult receiver of violence.

I AM Teresa Jade LeYung who speaks openly through my writing and advocacy, my immigrant experience, and my knowing beauty.  As an author, a story consultant, and a found-object artist and student of A PLACE OF HER OWN™, I empower women to transform their own stories.  I think beauty. I AM beauty. Please visit me at http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/

Dear Readers,

I wish you total wellness.

Yesterday – after receiving treatment from Stephanie Wilger, NC and two days after receiving treatment from Dr. Jae Reed, DC (treatments that get to the source of illness) -  I refreshed the banner of my blog to read:

“Story Consultant Teresa Jade LeYung’s Blog -  on Wellness, Themes, Archetypes”

I celebrate the Wellness Journey!

I celebrate dear friend / colleague Mary E. Knippel (“MEK”)!

Yesterday, a blog post written by MEK touched me deeply.

In Mary E. Knippel’s blog post of October 9, 2023 “An Unlikely Gift” Mary says: “… That’s how breast cancer is the gift that keeps on giving for me. I’ve learned to seize the day and reach for my dreams.”

“My clients come to me when they are overwhelmed about where to begin, what to say and how to make sense of the life-changing message they know they are here to deliver. I believe passionately everyone has a soul story of hope that the world needs to hear. I help my clients polish their words until their message sparkles and shines as a beacon of hope for those in search of a solution contained in my clients’ messages.”
