人生有多少個十年？一般來說，我們兩隻手數得完。

挑出最珍貴的十年，我豪不猶豫的選中從事養生教育的第一個十年，也是開啟我全然信任身體的關鍵十年。

信任身體是一段過程，很難透過文字描述，那是一種逐漸堆疊起來的豐盛，印象中，身體不斷經由直覺傳輸訊息給我。

體會，從對照而來，來自親自輔導的學員，每個月一批人，體會到大家的迷失都很一致，就是沒有身體的視角，只有大腦的看見。

深化斷食是那一階段的重要養成，動機除了站在講台上的責任，就是清楚自己身體的狀況，身體藏汙納垢的實力被我詳實記錄。

別人說「凡走過必留下痕跡」，我補上「凡吃過必留下囤積」，「身體不處理食物就處理廢物」就是某一刻的感動紀錄。

 

當我把自己所經歷過的感動放在課程中分享，一年又一年過去，觀察到多數人的「大腦看見」又再度來攪局，他們接收到課程資訊，跳過感受和感動。

必須說，傳統教育和醫學教育的失敗促成我們眼前的速成現象，為成績讀書，為考試抱佛腳，為止痛吃藥，為康復尋求速效。

從大腦視角換成身體視角，來自工作中的情境，透過身體的立場接收學員的提問，頓悟不停的敲打我的大腦意識，我看到人們沒看到的世界。

這就是視窗轉換（Paradigm Shift），沒有刻意，它就出現了，我的視角的確經過調整，不是我主動，是學員為我示範了集體迷失。

不刻意在課堂中講述「視窗轉換」，持續找到充滿好奇心以及願意改變的眼神，經驗告訴我學員不一定要有慧根，可是要會跟。

外面的世界已經形成一個巨大的迷宮，養生的翻轉教育屬於工程的格局，借助的是時間和耐心，那是被我們大力行銷的三位偉大醫師的其中兩位。

 

假設這是你的狀況，進入職場已經有一段時間，結婚持家也已經多年，對於人與人之間的信任程度必然有所感觸，全然信任不是一件容易的事。

當你發現無法找到可以完全沒有秘密的談心對象，即使是生活伴侶，赫然領悟人際關係居然是如此的脆弱。

可是內心對全然信任的對象充滿想像，可以毫無隱私的傾吐，可以豪不隱諱的觸碰，除了宗教信仰提供必要的寄託，唯一可以傾訴的對象是否剩下自己，還有為自己承載著生命的身體？

既然從身體的視角看懂人類的集體迷失，我們是否可以透過身體的視角往內看到人類都渴望的健康境界？

關鍵的問題是我們是否信任自己的身體，我們可以信任自己的身體到什麼程度？我們可以把工作委託給值得信任的對象，是否可以對自己的身體比照辦理，而且全然信任？

提到信任身體是一段過程，這是每個人都必須親自經歷的旅程，不信任自己的人很快拒絕這段旅程，有些人甚至連探索自己身體的勇氣都沒有。

 

自己的經驗結合所有學員的個案，「身體無所不能」被我感動記錄，這座被進化精雕細琢的身體所能負擔的面向讓我深深著迷。

身體就是那位我可以全然信任的良師益友，我必須對她（在我心目中的身體是她）展現絕對的真誠，只有她清楚我的每一個念頭，只有她收到我的每一次情緒波動。

一個全然懂我而且願意幫助我的個體，我如何能不信任她？我如何能對她有一絲絲的不信任？

還不具備身體視角，做法是練習和身體對話，對身體展現最高的誠意，必要時跟自己的身體懺悔，深化斷食到相當程度，身體視角成為養生的視角。

其實必須要很信任自己，其實必須要很相信身體，而且毫無折扣的全然信任，如此體會一到，已經和身體相容。

自主、療癒、自信，我、自己、身體，堅定、堅信、堅強，不懷疑、不遠離、不外求。

Firm Belief, Unwavering Determination

How many decades do we have in a lifetime? Generally speaking, we can count them on both hands.
If I had to pick the most precious decade, I would, without hesitation, choose the first ten years I dedicated to health education. It was also the critical decade in which I fully learned to trust my body.

Trusting the body is a process, one that is difficult to describe in words. It is a richness that accumulates over time. Looking back, I recall how my body continuously transmitted messages to me through intuition.

Understanding comes through contrast, through personally guiding students—one batch after another, month after month. I came to realize that their confusion was strikingly similar: they lacked the body’s perspective and relied solely on what their minds could see.

Deepening my fasting practice was an essential part of my development during that phase. My motivation was twofold: fulfilling my responsibility as an educator and gaining a clear understanding of my own body’s condition. I meticulously recorded how my body stored toxins and impurities.

People say, “Wherever you go, you leave traces behind.” I would add, “Whatever you eat, you accumulate.” The insight that “if the body isn’t processing food, it is processing waste” became a profound realization for me.

As I shared my experiences and insights in my courses, year after year, I observed a recurring pattern: people’s “mental perception” kept interfering. They absorbed the course information but bypassed the experience and the emotional impact.

I must say, the failures of traditional education and medical training have led to the fast-track mindset we see today—studying for grades, cramming for exams, taking painkillers for relief, and seeking quick fixes for recovery.

Shifting from a mind-centered perspective to a body-centered perspective emerged naturally through my work. Answering students’ questions from the body’s standpoint led to repeated moments of enlightenment, constantly challenging my mental awareness. I began to see a world that others could not.

This is the essence of a paradigm shift. It was not deliberate—it simply appeared. My perspective undeniably changed, not by my own intention, but because my students demonstrated to me the reality of collective confusion.

I never explicitly discuss “paradigm shifts” in my classes. Instead, I continue to seek out those with curiosity and a willingness to change. Experience has taught me that students do not necessarily need exceptional wisdom—but they do need to follow along.

The outside world has become an enormous maze. Transforming health education is an engineering-scale endeavor, requiring both time and patience—two of the very qualities championed by the three great doctors we often reference.

Imagine this scenario: you have been in the workforce for some time, you have been married and maintaining a household for years, and your experiences have shaped your understanding of trust in human relationships. You realize that complete trust is not easy to come by.

At some point, you find that there is no one with whom you can share everything without reservation—not even your life partner. Suddenly, you grasp how fragile human relationships truly are.

Yet deep down, you long for someone you can trust fully—someone with whom you can share without secrecy, someone you can touch without hesitation. Aside from religious faith offering necessary solace, is there anyone left to confide in?

Perhaps the only entity you can truly entrust everything to is yourself—your body, which carries your life.

Now that we understand humanity’s collective confusion from the body’s perspective, can we also use that perspective to glimpse the state of health that all humans long for?

The key question is: Do we trust our own bodies? To what extent can we trust them? We entrust our work to people we deem reliable—can we do the same with our bodies? Can we trust them completely?

Trusting the body is a journey that everyone must personally undertake. Those who do not trust themselves quickly reject this journey; some do not even have the courage to explore their own bodies.

From my own experiences and the countless cases of my students, I have come to record one profound realization: “The body is capable of anything.”

I am deeply fascinated by how this body—refined and perfected through evolution—can bear so much.

My body is the teacher and companion I trust completely. I must show her absolute sincerity (to me, my body is “her”). Only she knows my every thought; only she receives every fluctuation of my emotions.

How could I not trust someone who understands me entirely and is always willing to help? How could I harbor even the slightest doubt toward her?

For those who have yet to develop a bodily perspective, the first step is to practice conversing with the body—to demonstrate the highest level of sincerity toward it. When necessary, one should even seek forgiveness from the body.

As fasting deepens, the bodily perspective becomes the perspective of health.

Ultimately, one must fully trust oneself—fully trust the body—without any reservations. Once this understanding is realized, one becomes fully in sync with the body.

Autonomy, healing, confidence.
Me, myself, and my body.
Firm belief, unwavering determination, inner strength.
No doubt, no distance, no external seeking.
