In the spring of 1996 I was sitting in the living room of a very bizarre home waiting to meet the man that was supposedly going to help fix my “problems”. I say bizarre because I was surrounded by hundreds of what seemed to be very rare and very expensive works of art - statues - pottery - carvings - tapestries among many other things - It felt more like a museum than someone’s house - My girlfriend at the time had brought me to San Jose, Ca to see a doctor she referred to as a Chinese healer  - I soon learned that he was actually Vietnamese and much much more than a healer - Upon my introduction he started his assessment of me and within five minutes it was as if he had dissected my body, my mind, and my spirit - how he knew what he knew was and still is beyond my understanding but he was dead on - of all the profound things he said there was one thing that concerned me most - after asking me how many years I had been in school - he prophetically stated that the entire time I felt that I was stupid - that I couldn’t remember the things that I read - that I couldn’t concentrate and had no focus - this was the truth and exactly how I felt about myself - the good news was that he said there was a solution - that day was the first of many that I would spend learning and training under his tutelage.

His primary objective was to teach me how to become the “master of my mind” - what happens to to some of us as we develop from young boys and girls into adults is we lose control of of mind - when that happens the body takes over control and our lives become dictated by cravings, temptation and desires - when this happens we’re in trouble and it doesn’t take long for some form of suffering to set in - with the loss of control over our mind it’s like being out at sea on a boat with no rudder - just drifting around aimlessly having to go wherever life takes us - as some of us know all too well this is not a good feeling - Fortunately there’s a solution to this problem and I refer to it as ‘MENTAL FITNESS’ - there are certain activities that we can use to make sure that we don’t lose control and get lost out at sea - believe it or not there is a way to exercise that supports our mental fortitude and I teach this method here at The Power Center - there are other things to do as well such as meditation - visualizing and studying to name a few - All of these things are a part of a life enhancing program I created called ChiForce - by learning and applying the principles that make up the ChiForce program you can take your mental fitness to great heights, insuring yourself against many of life’s adversities - things like depression - anxiety and incessant worrying to name a few - there is really no need for us to suffer we just need to understand that there are solutions to all of our problems and if we are diligent and committed to being healthy on all fronts - physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally than life becomes much more enjoyable - If you or someone you love needs to learn how to ‘train the brain’ than don’t wait another day - call me today and let’s get you on the path to taking back control over mind and your life - Here’s to your health!!
