Chiu-Nan Lai, Ph.D.

Q: How would we know our missions?

A: When we were young, we had many ideals, dreams, or interests. We inherit our mother’s talents and our father’s interests. From these we can generally know our missions.

 

Q: I recently dreamt of a big fish tank, there were many very beautiful red fish. What does this mean?

A: Dream is our communication with our subconscious mind. If you often remember dreams, you can probably understand the meaning of dreams. Sometimes dreams also reflect our physical condition, and you would know only if you further inquire (internally).

 

Q: How can we recall what happened during the time when we were young or when we were a foetus?

A: Under normal circumstances, one cannot remember. It is only when one enters a deep relaxation (hypnosis), and then can one remember. However even if one cannot remember, one can use the eyes rotation method to clear some of the negative emotions.

 

Q: Visualisation ~ would you please give a more in-depth explanation?   How to visualize? In visualisation, when we visualise “light”, is it real, or is it just imagination?

A: What we see in dreams are activities of the mind. Visualisation is also activity of the mind. It has great power, not just imagination; you can practice from recollecting. When visualising light, we can remember the sun, the scene of a radiant sunrise. Not with the eyes but with your mind.

  

Q: What can one do if one cannot let go of the memories of past lives?

A: Memories that one is unable to let go are usually traumatic, it is necessary to use trauma recovery method: tapping, eye rotations, etc. One can also use blue light. It is also helpful if one can do some practical actions to enhance positivity.

 

Q: Dr Lai, the Penang Government has decided to make internet access of the whole Penang island a wireless one, how can we talk with the government?

A: There are more and more information on the harm of wireless radio-waves to the human body. There are many books and websites, beginning from LLL Magazines, the Chinese and English information at www.lapislazuli.org and www.lapislazulilight.com respectively. There are several articles (Chinese) in the LLL Magazine 2001 Issue No 4.

  

Q: Dr Lai, what is your view on Kuala Lumpur and Penang being cities with wireless internet?

A: This is a very unfortunate decision. It will harm the health of the residents, particularly the elderlies and young children. It will also cause anxiety and depression to the people. Many parents of people I knew suffered from cancer or stroke after the big city they lived in became wireless. Friends who returned to this city to visit their relatives felt that the emotions of their families/friends were very different from before. There is a feeling of depression.

  

Q: There is pain in the bones of the whole body (especially the shoulder), and the palm is feverish. May I know the reasons?

A: The electromagnetic waves, microwaves, mobile phones etc. in the environment.

 

Q: If the hands are sensitive, and when in contact with washing powder, dishwashing liquid and so on, blisters (which contain water or pus) develop. How can this be dealt with?

A: If the detergent and dishwashing liquid caused blisters on the hand, then they are not suitable to be used. Look for natural alternatives, such as bitter tea powder.

  

Q: When we breathe deeply, do we breathe through the mouth or the nose, or both?

A: Use the nose to inhale and exhale.

 

Q: When I dowsed my mobile phone with a metal chain, why does it turn clockwise?

A: The crown chakra of people who use mobile phones regularly may have already been turning counter-clockwise. That is why dowsing will react contradictorily. So before dowsing anything, dowse your own crown chakra first. If it is counter-clockwise, visualise a golden sun on the crown chakra, it can help align. Practising chakra breathing/harmonizing qi [Translator’s Note: refer to “Dr Lai’s Health Tips” page 55] can also help. After doing the breathing, testing will then be accurate. Dowsing under fluorescent light is also not accurate.

 

Q: In the United States, there is a young man called Adam who can heal patients telekinetically. What do you think of such therapy?

A: In the LLL Magazine, I had introduced Mr Harold McCoy who used the mind to do healing. The article entitled: “The Unexpected ….” The power of our mind is very strong. After being trained, it can heal sickness. In my book Hui Gui Xin De Xi Yue” ( 回歸心的喜悅 ), I introduced using the power of the mind to heal.

[ Article “The Unexpected” – December 2005 Issue of Lapis News ]

  

Q: How do you activate your compassion (love)? And how can we activate our own compassion and love?

A: Love is natural. It flows out naturally after we eradicate fear, insecurity, and sadness. The first step in activating love is to remove barriers to love, and recuperate from your own traumas.

Some methods of meditation can go in-depth to remove emotional barriers. Vipassana meditation is one of them. If we did not receive love when we were young, it is more difficult for us to give love. Therefore choosing loving parents is most critical. If you were not loved when you were young, you need to spiritually activate to connect with the source of love in the universe and also from within. I received love from my parents, so naturally would want to benefit others. After attending Vipassana Meditation, I also felt the natural source of joy of the universe. Joy and Love comes from the same source.

 

Q: In the modern living environment that is full of mobile phone transmitter, how can we offset the effects of radiation?

A: In our magazines, we have introduced a number of ways to protect against electromagnetic waves and microwaves. Lapis Lazuli Light published a translated book in Chinese “向電磁波.微波說不” . The last few pages of the Chinese version introduces methods using numbers, colours, peat moss, energiser, mantra and many other. Lapis lazuli (or cobalt blue) colour has a protective effect. On the roof or at the window facing a cellular phone transmitting station or high voltage tower, attach a lapis lazuli (or cobalt blue) paper or colour filter of approximately 8 by 10 feet.

Chiu-Nan Lai, Ph.D.

Q: I have fibroadenoma on my right breast and cystic fibrosis (Cystic Fibrosis, CF) on the left breast. For the past six months, there has been a frequent throbbing pain in the left breast (not the whole day). Is there any massage therapy, oil rubs or using peat moss to attach to the left breast which can help alleviate or eliminate this pain? I have several friends, whether married or single who also suffer from this fibrocystic disease.

A: Breast cells are immature cells, it is matured only through the process of breast-feeding, so if the woman has not breast fed before, the cells in the breast can become diseased easily. Fibroadenoma or cystic fibrosis can be caused by chemical pollution or electromagnetic waves. The breasts belong to the liver meridian, so when the liver is affected by pollution, it will create problem for the breast. So in prevention and cure, the liver must be taken care of. Please refer to an article written a few years ago “Caring for your Liver; Protecting your Environment” available in the Lapis Lazuli Light Jun 2006 Issue or https://www.lapislazulilight.com/Founder/Index_Lapis_News_From_Founder_Article_47.html

Lancinating of the left breast is related to negative energy entering from the left. There are many published articles on electromagnetic waves, radiowaves, and the protection of electromagnetic waves. For instance, the Kuan Yin mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, Luce Del Sole essential oil, placing cobalt blue colour (#866) filter sheet on a photograph and so on will help and using pendulum or any metal chain to discharge the negative energy of the left palm help alleviate pain. Use colour filter sheets, magenta in the left palm and green in the right palm to balance the body’s bio-magnetic field. There are people who find improvement by placing the Water Magnetizing Energy Enhancer (magnet facing out) on the painful area. In short in today’s very unnatural environment we need to protect ourselves using different methods, including some methods from beyond the three-dimensional space. Recently a friend shared with me how she placed salt on the photograph of a friend. The salt’s energy turned negative, she kept changing the salt until its energy became positive. Her friend’s conditions improved and she felt much better.

 

Q: I am suffering from cutaneous amyloidosis of the lichen (PAP) [Translator Note: Cutaneous Amyloidosis is skin conditions resulting from errors in metabolism, one of the symptoms is itchy rash] for nearly ten years, and would like to ask how it is caused, internally and externally, and how it can be treated, Can I use any kind of health products?

A: In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the skin belongs to the lung meridian and is interrelated with the colon and therefore defective elimination of air and faeces will be reflected in the skin. The liver meridian belongs to metal element and the metal element particularly absorb electromagnetic and microwave. Electromagnetic waves and microwaves are unavoidable in daily life now, and they are indirect cause of skin problems. And because of that, many people, especially young infants suffer from skin problems.

Of course, there is a little-known saying that in nature there are a lot of other beings that are invisible. After being interfered by pollution, they would retaliate. One of the more common occurrences is skin problems. These beings usually live underground where there is water. So if the water source near where we live is contaminated, we would experience skin problems.

Prevention is better than cure. Improve the air quality in the home and avoid excessively high electromagnetic waves and radio waves. Whatever that is within your control, change first. Whatever that is beyond your control, use various protection methods that were introduced. Opt for organic fruits and vegetables in your diet, take friendly bacteria which nourish the intestines, Lightning Enzymes, Supa Boost will help with digestion and excretion. Maintaining the free movement of the large intestine is crucial for the maintenance of healthy skin. Avoid eating meat which nourishes harmful bacteria. Spring clean your life, clean up your intestine, and then the wastes from the intestine will not be eliminated through the skin.

 

Q: I have been a vegetarian for many years, why is it that recently I started itching, then it stopped for a while and then started itching on another part. I am not a diabetic.

A: When the city I previously lived in started to install cellular towers, all my skin started to itch and was scratched till it bled. Later, I put oat, lavender and mullein roots into a cloth bag and soaked it in hot water and rubbed my skin with it. 80% of oat, 10% each of lavender and mullein roots. You can also apply Bentonite clay, a beauty care product used for detoxification, on the skin and then wash it off. When cooking, add some curry spices or others stomach-warming spices such as star anise, Szechuan pepper, ginger, turmeric. In the diet, pay more attention to eat foods that are mildly alkaline, reduce sugar intake. Grains and beans must be sprouted and eat more fresh vegetables.

 

Q: Why is there body odor or smell of sweat? How to prevent it? How to treat it through diet or get rid of it?

A: When there are insufficient friendly bacteria in the large intestine, there is body odor. Friendly bacteria are vegetarians, so eating more fresh fruits and vegetables will improve the body odor. If the long-term accumulation of the wastes in the large intestine is not eliminated, it will result in body odor. Try to eat only fruits and vegetables for one or two days per week and do not eat other food in order to eliminate the toxins from the intestines.

 

Q: Why do some vegetarian ended up with rheumatism?

A: Rheumatism is related to the lack of trace elements and minerals. If the soil lacks minerals and trace elements, one may be on a vegetarian diet, but the food taken does not meet the body’s needs. Crops grown using chemical fertilizers generally contain only one-tenth of the minerals that should normally be there. This is why natural farming is so important to the health of the body. Supplement by eating some wild plants and kelp, seaweed, deeply rooted type of plants, unprocessed grains, eating less white rice, white flour and white sugar type of food.

 

Q: What is the natural therapy for Hyperthyroidism?

A: Hyperthyroidism is related to pollution. Pesticide residues, air pollution, electromagnetic wave and microwave pollutions can cause hyperthyroidism. Detoxification of the body, chakra harmonizing (Translator’s Note: Refer to page 55 in Dr Lai’s Health Tips), and the use of light therapy would be helpful (Please refer to “Let There Be Light”).

  

Q: I am 50 years old, and did an ultrasound scan 2 months ago. There was a slight enlargement of the breast gland, due to water retention. What is the cause? Please advise.

A: Water in the breast is a precursor to tumor; perhaps the breast has some blockage or there is accumulated chemical contamination, causing inflammation. Treatment methods are the same as cancer prevention, taking care of the diet, environment and emotions.

 

Q: I suffer from nasal allergies and my hands and feet are afraid of cold. Everyday (365 days) I sneeze a lot and there is a lot of nasal mucus. How should I treat these? Also, recently I had my pulse taken and the doctor said that my colon is congested, retarding the flow of blood in both legs. That is why hands and legs are afraid of cold. Please advise how I should treat these problems.

A: Eat more high-fiber vegetables, brown rice, etc., will help clear the debris in the intestine, especially shredded carrot salad which acts like a broom brushing the intestines. White flour products such as noodles, bread, cakes and pastries stick easily to the wall of the intestines. Also, high protein food such as meat which cannot be fully digested will accumulate in the colon. Taking walks frequently will also promote peristalsis of the large intestine.

 

Q: Can diseases caused by “karma” or “genes” use alternative chemotherapy treatment?

A: If the disease is caused by karma, it must be compensated through repenting and accumulating merit. For example, eating a vegetarian diet is an act of “liberating lives”, “protecting lives”. This will naturally compensate for the “karma” of killing lives in the past. If you want a healthy long life, then you need to protect lives at the same time. “We reap what we sow”. When we care for lives, we will naturally enjoy long life. Similarly, if the disease is genetically caused, making such adjustments will still be helpful.

 

Q: I was woken up in the morning by a numbness that stabbed on my hands and legs. What causes that?

A: This happens when there is poor blood circulation and the body is not warm enough, all pollutions, especially electrical ones, make the body cold. Pay attention to protecting yourself from electromagnetic waves and tap the dantien 100 to 500 times a day. At night, a hot foot bath and rubbing the soles of the feet will also help the body warm up. Oil bath will also warm the body. (Please refer 《回歸身的喜悅》.)

Q: I am thirty-five years old, and suffering from lupus erythematosus, may I know what kind of food or what causes lupus?

A: Lupus is a reaction caused by the body being too acidic and also from consuming too much salt. A diet supplemented with fresh fruits and vegetables, especially vegetable juice, green juice will neutralize the acidity and balance the over-consumption of salt, and plant food contains lots of potassium. It is best to have a light diet, do not add salt, and supplement with high potassium soup (refer to {Dr Lai’s Health Tips} and {Total Health of Body, Mind and Spirit (Chinese Book 《身心灵整体健康》)) or {Pursuit of Life} for the Table of Potassium and Sodium Contents of Common Foods}.

Q: Dr. Lai, to a cancer patient, when we begin to think that an ill-omen is like death, fear creeps into our heart, is there any best way to drive away or eliminate this fear?

A: The fear of cancer in society is very common. When we hear about cancer we immediately link it to death.   If there is a proper understanding of cancer and with the fundamental treatment, then many cases would have improved or even recovered. Understanding of cancer is the first step in overcoming the fear. In the past few years I have many articles and lectures which were intended in understanding cancer. The second step is to overcome the fear of death; at the same time, we need to deeply understand that death is the birth in the spirit world. Everyone has his time of death, it is not within our control, and the best blessing is to hope that the patients are liberated, feel free, and maybe regain their health or maybe death.

 

 Q: Does water have energy? Does water with energy give great help to the human cells?

A: Living water in nature has energy. Clean water draws energy from the stars, the moon and the sun. This living water can purify the environment and human cells. Unfortunately, the water in the city is transported through the water pipe and is bleached and disinfected, and also has been environmentally polluted, so it is no longer living water. Not only that the tap water does not have energy, it actually contains negative energy which is harmful to the body and thus could not achieve its original effect. But good mind, gratitude and good wishes can enhance energy. Compassionate mantras such as OM MANI PADME HUM and the Great Compassion Mantra and prayers of other religions can increase the energy of the water.   For further information on proven experiments by Mr Masuru Emoto of Japan regarding the energy of water, please refer to the article Water—the Source of Life, the Source of Illnesses in the Lapis Lazuli Light November 2006 (Chinese Edition) and March 2007 (English Edition) Issue. 

Q: How to treat myopia?

A: Eye exercises and relaxation are the main methods to cure myopia. Emotions can also affect vision. Many children start displaying symptoms of myopia in the third grade (Primary 3) due to the pressure of homework. Relaxing the eyes and emotions can help to improve vision. Rub both hands together to warm the palm, cover the eyes and then completely relax for 20 minutes daily. Blinking frequently can also relax the eyes; avoid “staring”. After looking at objects nearby for a long time, look far away. By alternating between looking far away and nearby, it allows the eyes to rest.

 

Q: How to treat terminal cancer patients?

A: If we say “cancer is an incurable disease,” it is to say, “Life is a terminal illness,” because each of us must die. Having cancer does not mean dying soon. Cancer is a chronic disease and need to be treated from the source, from improving eating habits, lifestyle, to clearing traumas and emotional recovery and so on. It needs to be done in a holistic way. Some people recover after solely going on a natural organic vegetarian diet. Some need to clear emotional traumas, others need to re-discover the joy of living, and some need to change their subconscious death wish, etc. All information in Dr Lai’s books “《回身的喜悦》、《回心的喜悦》 and “Dr Lai Health Tips” is helpful for cancer patients.

 

Q: After undergoing abdominal surgery when can one start to discharge the after effects of anesthetics?

A: Immediately.

 

Q: When lying on bed, the ears buzz, as if there are a few tiny bits rolling around. The same happened when I was on the plane too, and it is very painful. What can be done?

A: The ear is related to the kidneys. Do the Wutaishan Eight-Step Exercise and also using the hands to cover the ears and then relax, repeat several times.

 

 Q: How to alleviate shoulder pain? (15 years old)

A: Shoulder pain is related to electrical, electromagnetic or radiowaves. If you can reduce exposure to electricity, cut down the use of computer, mobile phone, or TV, but instead go for walks in the forest, check if the shoulder feels better. If it is an electrical injury, you may need to do the chakra harmonizing (Translator’s Note: Refer to page 55 in Dr Lai’s Health Tips), and also use light therapy, green on the right and purple violet on the left. Once I was giving a lecture in a big city and my left shoulder was injured by electricity and was painful for a few weeks.   It was later cured after using light therapy.

 

Q: In addition to caring for the natural environment, how can we protect the kidneys?

A: In the Wutaishan Eight-Step Exercise, soaking the legs and rubbing the Yongquan pressure point (Translator’s Note: this point is at the sole of the feet) is good for the kidneys. Kidneys fear cold so avoid drinking drink ice water as the kidneys are located behind the stomach. High protein foods such as meat also harms the kidneys, anxiety and emotional stress also injure the kidney. Releasing fear and a vegetarian diet are beneficial to the kidneys.

 

Q: I have been taking anti-depression medicine for a year, so how?

A: Depression may be related to electromagnetic waves and radiowaves in the environment. Due to the pressure the waves have on the body, long-term exposure will cause a decline in the adrenal gland. Depression is generally related to the decline of adrenal condition. Practicing the Wutaishan Eight-Step Exercise, supplementing with Vitamin B Groups (sprouts, rejuvelac, etc.) and protection from microwave will help.

 

Q: There is a lump under the left armpit and is painful. If it is not surgically removed, are there any other ways to remove it?

A: The lump pain may be due to lymph nodes, when the body has inflammation, lymph node appears. In the diet, reduce food which may cause inflammation, for example animal food, such as chicken, duck, fish, meat and also contaminated food. Eat more natural organic fruits and vegetables and grains. These are introduced in the books and magazine.

 

Q: I would like to know how to help a patient with mood disorder (ie biplor disorder) using natural therapies to recover.

A: Factors causing mood disorder could be congenital or acquired. Practicing natural therapies may be helpful, natural diet, protection from electromagnetic waves and microwaves; chakra harmonizing, clearing emotional disturbances will be helpful.

 

Q: How to treat tinnitus?

A: Hot water compress on the kidney for 30 minutes. Sometimes the condition improves after doing it once or twice, sometimes seven or eight times may be needed.

Question: When my child was in the womb, part of the brain was not fully developed (the doctor failed to discover it). At the time of birth, the delays in delivery caused hypoxia and ischemia brain injuries, and so my child has cerebral palsy. Dr Lai, please tell me how I can help my child, whether in lifestyle, diet, practising and dedicating merits and/or others. Any suggestions from you would be very much treasured.

Yours gratefully

A broken-hearted mother (my child is currently one year old)

Answer:

Dear Mother:

Brain development in children before the age of seven, is still very important. Congenital deficiencies can be remedied after birth.

  • Let’s start with the spiritual practice. Pray for blessings from the Medicine Buddha. There are many Medicine Buddha’s Practice, one of which is Bhagavan Medicine Buddha Sutra, available at Ruyi Moni and Jing Xu Fa Lin centres [Translator’s Note: These two centres (in pinyin) are located in Taipei]. Reciting Medicine Buddha mantras or reading the Medicine Buddha’s Sutras is also helpful.

 

  • In addition to following a complete vegetarian diet, supplement with some sea minerals, such as adding one or two drops of Pure Aussie into drinking water or also adding just a little Sea Minerals Hawthorn. Complete minerals are very important to the body’s development (especially the brain). Among the nuts, hazelnut is very good for brain development. If you can buy fresh (raw) ones, make them into milk for your child to drink. Milk made from sesame seeds and sunflower seeds can also be added. Porridge made from organic grains like rice, barley, millet, oatmeal, etc. is another option. Observe the child’s responses. Choose clean natural fruits and vegetables with no pesticide contamination.

 

  • Try your best to have electromagnetic and microwave protections. Do not have wireless facilities, such as mobile phones, microwave ovens, and wireless internet access at home. We have been introducing the importance of protection as well as the methods of protection. Pay special attention to the sleeping area.

 

  • Please refer to the articles in the Lapis Magazines 2011 May (Chinese) or for English, Lapis News October 2011 issue “Sensory Learning And Autism, Brain Injury, Vision And Learning Ability”, available online https://lapislazulilight.com/Founder/Index_Lapis_News_From_Founder_Article_61.html on how to stimulate the nervous system.   Use different colour filters with sunlight or small light bulb for the child to look at. Follow a weekly cycle. Choose one colour per day, starting from magenta, followed by red the next day, then orange, yellow, turquoise, violet for each following day. Twenty minutes each time, once or twice a day. At the same time, it may also be helpful to sing or recite the Medicine Buddha mantra when rocking the child in a cradle. This will simultaneously stimulating the visual, auditory nerves and brainstem.

 

  • Energetically, use the Brazilian toe massage (introduced in Chinese in the Aug 2007 Lapis Magazine and available online: http://www.lapislazuli.org/TradCh/magazine/200708/20070802.html ) [Translator’s Note: For English there are many websites teaching this technique for example http://worldtantra.org/braziliantoe.html] and Metamorphic Technique, the latter was introduced in a workshop. It would be better if you could ask the participants in the July 2010 workshop in New York to demonstrate the technique to you. The main focus is to ease the energies that were stuck inside the womb. This method is very helpful to retarded children. The technique is as follows:

1.Activate Energy: Start by touching the hairline of the forehead. Gently move towards the crown three times.

2.Start with the right foot of the child. Use your thumb or index finger, gently touch the tip of the big toe, and then move along the inner side of the foot, until you touch the heel. The child can place the foot on the adult’s lap. When doing this, relax and do not deliberately do anything, intuitively moving slowly, pausing longer in certain places, but not longer than ten minutes at any spot. Continue with the left foot after the right foot is done. After all these are done, close the energy on the head by touching the posterior hairline, gently move towards the crown. Do it three times. Doing the Metamorphic Technique once every few days or once a week is very good.

3.The mother or father can place their palms on the right and left side of the child’s head. The energy of love will travel from the hands to the head. The effect would be even better if light visualisation is incorporated. Use the light visualization techniques which have been introduced in Lapis magazines recently.

Best wishes to you!

Chiu-Nan Lai, Ph.D

Question: I would like to ask you questions regarding early puberty. My daughter is in Primary One and her breasts have already started developing.   She is much taller and heavier than her classmates. I would like to know what causes this early development. She has a normal lifestyle and is not a picky eater. She lives in China on and off for about two years. Does it matter if she is eating non-genetically modified soy bean products like soy drink, bean curd or tofu?

She has difficulty falling asleep every night.

Answer: The early development condition in your daughter is an increasingly common phenomenon in the United States. Changes in the environment and changes in the way food is produced are the reasons why. Most of the farmed animals like cattle, pigs, chicken and fish are fed with genetically modified corn, soy beans, etc. To induce the animals to grow faster, growth hormone and antibiotic are added into their food. These foods are not natural. Even though the animal grows very quickly after eating these foods, it is actually “puffiness”. Sometimes when the chicken grows so quickly, their bones are unable to support their weight and as a result many of these chicken suffer from bone fractures. When humans eat these dead bodies, they are also consuming growth hormones and antibiotics. This is particularly injurious to children. On one hand, they cannot get the nutrition their bodies need, on the other hand they are being poisoned, resulting in endocrine disruption. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, genes are referred to as “essence”, genetically modified food changes the “essence” of the food. So when consumed, it also harms the “essence” of the consumers.

I suspect that in the growing process, your child must have eaten these unhealthy foods. Now, I can only suggest that to let the child eat only organic natural vegetarian food, avoid meat, chicken, fish etc which may contain growth hormone. Milk and soy bean products should also be avoided. Even if the soy bean is not genetically modified, you still have to be careful. If you eat a small quantity, make sure the beans are sprouted first. Food made from black soybeans, like black soybean milk, can be consumed. The variety of soybean grown in the United States is not the same as those eaten by our Chinese ancestors. The amino acid distribution of these beans is not balanced, but these beans can still be eaten if they have been sprouted.

Difficulty in falling asleep is associated with the electromagnetic waves in the environment. Take measures to reduce electromagnetic field exposure. Please refer to articles “From Founder” for the last few years, for example “Opening the Loving Heart, Welcoming 2012” Lapis Magazine May 2010 Issue [Chinese] Oct 2010 (English) or https://lapislazulilight.com/Founder/Index_Lapis_News_From_Founder_Article_54.html. 

You can also try using colour therapy to restore balance to the body, purple light and green light has the property of balance. The head is the control center of the endocrine, use green light to balance and magenta light on the chest and abdomen. Using violet light on the forehead before going to bed will help falling asleep. (Please refer to the book “Let There Be Light”)

 Also teach the child to harmonize her ‘qi´. Make sure that all the chakras are open. Take frequent walks and exercise in the forest and breathe in oxygen, absorbing the essence of nature. It is even better if there is perspiration. A lot of toxins can be discharged through perspiration. All the best to you.

 

Question: My niece’s daughter was diagnosed with diabetes when she was only two years old. Her glucose level has risen to over 10 points and needs 4 insulin injections every day. Her father disappeared before she was even born and I would like to know if that would have caused her any harm.

Answer: The mood of a pregnant woman affects the health of the fetus. If the father disappeared, the mother would definitely be very sad, anxious and think of him often. This yearning will affect the spleen (pancreas) meridian. Post-natal emotions of the mother would also affect the child. The energy (qi) of the child and the mother is one and if the mother uses the methods introduced to clear her longings and worries, it will be helpful to the health of the child.

 

Question: Why does a 12 years old boy still wet the bed? How can this be treated?

Answer: Bedwetting is related to the kidneys, and kidneys are connected to fear. If we protect the kidneys and get rid of fear and trauma, this problem may be solved. Also ensure that the bedroom has no computer, television, electrical appliances and the bed does not have coil springs (metal attracts microwaves easily). The bed must not be near any electrical switch. All these interfere with the kidneys.

 

Question: After birth, the baby suffers from severe jaundice. What can be done in an emergency and how to cope with it?

Answer: In the United States, hospitals use phototherapy (light treatment). The baby is placed under blue light which is directed on the body.   In an emergency, blue light bulb or blue colour filter film can be used to shine on the baby.

 

Question: After drinking milk, a five year old kid would cry from abdominal pain every morning, but after a while the pain is gone. What is the reason?

Answer: Oriental children generally lack the enzyme to digest lactose, because traditionally Chinese people did not drink milk, thus there may be reactions such as abdominal pain, diarrhea and even intestinal bleeding. Obviously milk is not suitable for your kid, stop giving your kid milk. (The milk that is available in the market is usually pasteurized which is even much harder to digest.)

 

Question: May I know how a two-year old child can be on a vegetarian diet healthily?

Answer: Lapis Lazuli Light Magazine has details introducing how to feed a small child in the May and August 2005 issues [Chinese] or April – June 2008 issue [English] of the Lapis Magazines or

https://lapislazulilight.com/Birth_Child/Index_Lapis_News_Birth_Child_Article_4.html.

As your present residence is in Malaysia, choose easily digestible grains, vegetables, fruits and melons, etc. which are locally grown and suitable for the climate. Children can draw energy from the atmosphere so they do not need to eat much. As long as the food is natural and not processed, let your child have more choices then decide according to the child’s response to the food he/she likes. Every time let the child try one type of food and observe the response. Do not use too many different ingredients each time. Normal adult’s sense of taste tends to be strong, so for the children, it may be too sweet, too salty or too spicy etc. The tongue of the child has not yet been numbed, so we must not choose according to the palate of an adult. In tropical areas, give more fresh fruits such as papaya, coconut milk, coconut water to the child. Grains such as barley, brown rice, red rice can be cooked into porridge or milk, melons such as winter-melons, spaghetti-melons, cucumbers, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes can be steamed and mashed. Avoid plants which have toxins such as eggplants, green capsicums, and potatoes. Fresh beans can also be cooked for the children, the amount must be little. Every place has its own special food; ask the older folks for their experience.

 

Question: After a baby is born, he/she will be vaccinated at different stages. Now, there is a six-in-one vaccination which is recommended by the pediatricians to the parents. Does this comprehensive vaccination harm the baby and have any side effects?

Answer: Before inoculation became popular, there was already a drastic decline in childhood diseases all over the world. As long as there is an increase in standard of education, improvements in public sanitation and living conditions, these diseases will disappear.   Contradictorily, inoculation itself causes many repercussions, especially in the case of poor health and malnutrition, inoculation may cause fever, autism, hyperactivity, disability, and even death. In the early years when Australia started to inoculate the children of the Aborigine, one in every two infants died. With the lack of Vitamin C in their diet, inoculation causes fever and infection. Deficiency in Vitamin C in the body is very dangerous, especially now with the three-in-one, or six-in-one inoculation, the harm to the infant will be more severe. In their natural growth, children do not at the same time come into contact with three or six kinds of childhood infectious diseases, especially in the first six months, the infant body cannot produce an antibody which is why inoculation has to be done repeatedly. Inoculation is directly related to why modern people are constitutionally weaker and also why chronic diseases are so common.

Q: How did you find the purpose of your life, while letting go of the worries about practical constraints?

A: We face different smaller goals at different junctions in our lives, but the main life purpose generally does not change. According to Dr. Rudolf Steiner, the astrological positions of the Sun, Moon and Earth at the moment of our birth will repeat itself every 18 years and 7 months. If we forget our life purpose, we will receive strong reminding signals at every 18th-year-7th-month. We only need to allow ourselves to quieten, and listen to our heart’s innermost feelings and external opportunities. Our intuitive calling and inner guidance is very strong; if we do not heed it, we will often meet obstacles, and do not feel happy. When we meet certain difficulties in life, take a break to ask ourselves if we have missed the direction? Have we taken a misguided path at the crossroads of our life?

Many decisions in my life came from inner guidance; I might not know exactly why I was doing what I did, but I came to understand much later. Inner guidance has been strong and irresistible, and I need to let go of practical constraints – whether it was converting from a meat-based to a plant-based diet, giving up research work and going India to explore the meaning of life, or letting go of secluded quiet lifestyle and founding Lapis Lazuli Light and dedicating myself to teaching. If the big direction and purpose of our life is in benefitting others, we need to learn letting go of our small-minded judgments, habits and worries. Be flexible in letting go or taking up (new roles) when opportunities arise, only then can we accomplish our big life goal.

 

Q: Dr. Lai, there are certain descriptions of the dying process in Buddhist teachings that may create fear in people. Take the example of the Pure Land tradition, it encourages that dead bodies be left untouched for 8 hours so that the deceased will not feel pain or ensuring that the eight levels of consciousness have left the body. Due to this, some people do not dare to donate one’s organs after death. Some people even described that the spirits of people one has wronged in the past will come disguised as spirits of loved ones to lure the deceased to suffering lower realms. These descriptions do not align with western research on Near Death Experiences (NDE) and Life after Death, which feels that death is not a frightening experience. How do we reconcile the contradictions?

A: There are also frightening anecdotes in NDE research. Some people from NDE returned from ‘hell’, though such cases are fewer. Those who experienced such frightful episode were not very willing to share. Such occurrences of patients returning to life after pronounced clinical death are rare in medical history; hence they are considered special cases. These people started their dying process, but consciousness and body are not totally split, so they are able to return to life. What Buddhist teachings described are all possibilities of human experiences; positive or negative experiences are dependent on individuals. People who are not prepared for death in their lives or who do not have a spiritual practice, will often feel tremendous fear and suffering upon this body-consciousness split. Losing our loved ones or possessions in life is suffering enough; it is not difficult to imagine the pain of losing our precious body upon death. Confronting our usual fears and problems is inevitable upon death, why don’t we prepare ourselves earlier? Western understanding of NDE and Buddhist teachings do not contradict each other. People with a spiritual faith will see the icons of their faith; Jesus Christ, Buddha, etc will appear.

 

Q: Is meditation able to bring about healing?

A: There are various meditation techniques. Counting breath calms one’s mind. If this is complemented with insight/mindfulness practice (vipassana) – when we relate to all body sensations, emotions and thoughts with equanimity – suppressed emotions will surface and resolve. For past wounding that is stored in our brain stems, we need to use specific techniques for healing it, like tapping, rolling eyeballs, etc. Meditation alone do not access to brain stems.

 

Q: Do lyrics in modern popular songs affect our body and consciousness adversely? What kind of negative impact? Most pop songs contain negative contents.

A: What we see, hear, smell always affects our body and mind. Hearing especially, it affects our emotions and thoughts. It’s important to protect our ears, only listen to positive uplifting messages.

 

Q: I’ve once consulted a Homeopathy Practitioner. She said that illness is an outcome; the root of illness originates from emotional states, like sadness, stress, fear, etc. How do I know the causes of my illness?

A: Emotional states and physical health are related, but it is not the only cause. There are other factors like environment, diet and prenatal conditions. Hence, we have been publishing different techniques of healing and preventing illnesses in books and magazines all these years. First, cure your illness, then take time to find its root causes. In my book ‘Reclaiming the Joy of Mind’, I’ve included a questionnaire that lists various events or circumstances that our body or mind experience that could be possible causes of illnesses. It is a reference, and in answering the questions, you may perhaps find the causes.

 

Q: By not accepting vaccination, is this bringing greater benefit to our body?

A: Yes. Please refer to article ‘The price of vaccine inoculation’ published in Lapis magazine (February 1999 issue).

 

Q: My mother is diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and currently undergoing the standard treatments. Prior to cancer, she is also suffering from symptoms likened to Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), of which doctors in rheumatology still could not confirm the diagnosis. The clinical observation only verified that it’s not a dislocation of bones. Please advise on ways of care-giving to my mother who has these illnesses. I observed that she has brief and faint in and out-going breaths. How can I improve this condition in order to prevent implications resulting from insufficient oxygen intake?  

A: 1. Wireless radio waves and dirty electricity (electrical pollution) in the environment will cause the problems your mother is facing. These few years, our magazines have described these. First, apply the ways to protect oneself: Aura-soma, electric-magnetiser (energy enhancer), mantra, writing 6-syllabled mantra around a drawing (refer to article ‘Living Beyond Space & Time in 21st Century’, in May issue of Lapis magazine), convert all wireless devices in the house to cabled (eg. Mobile phones, land line telephones, internet cables), give away your microwave oven, place a piece of cobalt blue colour (#866) filter paper on a photograph of your mother as a measure of protection.

Beside these, do breath- and-visualisation techniques (refer to book ‘Dr. Lai’s Health Tips’) and use pendulum to clear the dull energy around an uncomfortable spot in body. Magenta colour filter sheet aids breathing if you put it on your chest. Place cobalt blue colour filter sheet on your water bottle/container and sun it for an hour; water from the container has protective function. Choose organic and natural vegetarian food in your diet. Supplement diet with Lightning Enzyme (Synergy company).

  1. Use pendulum to relieve energy from your palms and soles will perhaps helps breathing. (refer to article ‘energy resuscitation’ in February issue of Lapis magazine).

If your mother has a spiritual faith, remind to think of uplifting spiritual practices. For example, reciting the name of Amitabha Buddha, 6-syllable mantra, compassion mantra, practice of Medicine Buddha (a copy of it can be obtained from Lapis for free). Visualisation practice of Medicine Buddha in your heart is a very effective technique.

Dr Lai, Hello

After reading your magazines, I had a lot of thoughts.

I wrote this letter today hoping that you could give me some advice of which I would be very grateful.

Question 1: I suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and moderate osteoporosis (-31). For the last ten years or more, the soles of my feet, thigh muscles and fingers would swell occasionally. After three to five days, the swellings subside and revert back to normal without using any medication. That was alright. But in the last three to four months, there were more swollen parts, the finger joints, elbows, knees, etc. Sometimes it’s bearable but sometimes it’s bad. The pain comes and goes, particularly upon waking in the morning.The fingers stiffen and look like tiger’s claw and cannot hold anything. They only get better after some slow movements, but the pain is still there.   Recently, I started to have problem with turning the neck, and the rotations triggered off headaches. It has been almost two months, and I cannot cope with it any more.

I am a 63-year-old woman. I do not smoke or drink, and do not use the internet or computer. I live the normal life of a housewife, only watching television, going to bed mostly at 10:30pm and waking up at 6:00am. In the daytime I would take a walk at the 18 Eagle’s Nest (a mountain in Taiwan) for about one hour. Even though my diet is not entirely vegetarian (family opposition and my own willpower), I do pay attention to my health.

For the last ten or more years, I had only tried two rheumatoid arthritis treatments (quinine for three months, sulphonamides for three months). That was six years ago. Recently the condition worsened, I am now taking quinine and have a steroid injection once a month.

Answer: The causes for rheumatoid arthritis and moderate osteoporosis are more complex than before. When the body is acidic it results in the above diseases. Oxygen, fresh fruits and vegetables, sprouted grains, millet, fruits that are not sweet and all kinds of sea vegetables will restore the body’s acid-alkaline balance. Deforestation increased the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, thus reducing oxygen level. In addition exposure to electromagnetic field and radio-waves are on the increase. Even if you do not use a mobile phone or wireless internet, you arel still affected as long as someone near you is using them. These invisible waves cause a lack of oxygen in the body, resulting in acidification. Therefore, insist on a slightly alkaline diet, especially fresh green juices. Green leafy energy soup, cucumber and ginger are more alkaline. All animal meats when consumed cause an acidic reaction; beef, pork, and some seafood are the most acidic. Sugar, un-sprouted beans and grains (except millet, quinoa and amaranth) also make the body slightly acidic. You can buy pH test strips to test the urine and see whether changes in diet can change the acidic reaction. In the morning, the body is most acidic, which is why the hands became swollen. Drinking fresh lemon juice with warm water, or umeboshi (plum) paste, green juices etc. in the morning can make the blood more alkaline. For dinner, choose vegetables or sprouted grains. Avoid eating meat and carbohydrate for dinner.

It is very good to take a walk in the forest every day and breathe in large quantity of oxygen. If the condition did not improve, try going to a place with little electromagnetic waves for a week. If the situation improves as a result, you may need to take measures to protect yourself against electromagnetic field. You might even consider moving to a place where you feel comfortable. Reduce electrical appliances particularly in the bedroom. It would be best if all power is switched off at night. When sleeping, the least you can do is switch off all wireless internet, wired internet and mobiles.

Question 2

Hello, Dr Lai

A family member who is 35 years old usually used to have 2-3 bowel movements a day. Last year [2009] in September due to blood in the stool, he went to the hospital for a check-up and was told that he had internal haemorrhoid and also a slight inflammation in the colon. We were thinking of using natural healing and minimal medication for him.

In April this year [2010], the number of bowel movements has slowly increased to the extent that one day there were more than 10 bowel movements and there were also blood in the stool. At night, he would frequently wake up feeling the need to defecate, sometimes 2-3 times (including excreting some stool and blood when farting). So he went back to the hospital for x-ray of the rectum (near the anus) and had a biopsy done. The result showed a rare form of colitis (the doctor said it was a rare and major disease). After taking the doctor’s prescription for less than a month, there is already a symptom of abdominal pain.

This family member had been a vegetarian for more than a decade. He meditates daily (approximately the length of time to burn a stick of incense), lead a normal lifestyl, goes to bed before 10pm every night. Due to his prostate problem, he gets up at night often to urinate. As a result he does not sleep well.

Answer: In this era, rare diseases have become more and more common, because the living environment is becoming less and less natural. The body is under a lot of stress and inflammation is the body’s response to stress. We live and work in an environment which seldom see the sun, and have air-conditioning. Chemicals and electromagnetic field and radio-waves fill the space. Although the environmental friendly light bulbs save electricity, they generate strong electromagnetic waves and radio-waves. The new generation of wireless communication systems is stronger than ever before. Changes in the environment mean that almost everyone uses a mobile, and almost everybody accessing the internet. Each convenience actually hurts the body and causes harm to each other.

Recently, many people found their existing health problems have worsened or new problems have appeared. We need to decide to reduce harm to each other by changing wireless internet access to cable access, avoiding mobile phone usages, and in case of emergency, using the pager. Particularly in meeting places, where many people gather, such as classrooms, lecture halls, etc., everyone needs to take care of each other and switch off their mobiles. People who frequent public places can easily get hurt if they do not pay attention.

Take care to protect your own homes. Lapis magazines have provided information in this area. Use cobalt blue light for treating inflammation and drink water that has been exposed to the sun through a blue colour film [one hour under the sun]. To supplement the ‘qi’, use purple colour; for chronic disease, use lemon colour (For detailed description, please refer to the book “Let There Be Light”). Every day, harmonize your ‘qi’ and practice relaxation methods like Alpha Breathing, emotionally release your hidden pressures and stored emotions. Put your photo on a white paper with “Om Mani Padme Hum” written in blue ink.

As the environment deteriorates, we must learn to better use our brain as well as many other ways to enhance and protect ourselves
