Eric from Deepest Health reminded me that I need to post at least a little something about that widget you see on the right side of the blog, regarding the Blogger’s Choice Award.
If you like what you read here I will be happy if you take the time to vote for CMNotes.
Also, as I’m sure [...]

** I will start with a short apology, we had a holiday here in Israel, which found me enjoying full 4 days with my family and actually managing a few naps in the middle of the day!
The down side of this particular holiday is the consumption of too much diary products and not having the needed mood [...]

I found a few interesting links about Chinese Medicine post-graduate events around the world, I thought I’d share them with you.
Posting the interview with Arya Nielsen made me contact her again. Very busy lady!
She asked if I could post this on my blog, and I gladly do so, in order to let you know about a [...]

Phillippe Siounneau is not a well known name here in Israel.
If practitioners know him, it’s mainly for his books, but that’s about it.
A few years ago I thought that having an interview with him would be a good way to get to know him, and indeed we exchanged e-mails, in which he appeared very kind [...]

Don’t tell Eric, but one of the reasons I started blogging in English is the inspiration I got from Deepest Health. And I still am very inspired by Eric and his writing, mainly because I find so much information on his blog that I’ve been looking about CM.
Also, after meeting Heiner Fruehauf in 3 lectures, [...]

…Or to be more precise- Ian Brown and the Fire Element in Chinese Medicine.
May 31st marks the first ever performance of Ian Brown in Israel.
If you don’t know, Israel is not a place where we get many performances by wonderful artists such as Ian Brown. Security issues are always clouding potential visits from rock gods- even if [...]

Tong Ze Bu Tong, Bu Tong Ze Tong- so claims an old wise Chinese saying- free flow- no pain; no free flow- pain.
One of the first things on which Chinese Medicine is based upon is the free flow of Qi and Blood in the body.
Gua Sha is a 5,000 year old technique, and by applying it [...]

I know that May 15 is tomorrow, but I won’t be able to actually go online and write, so I’m posting this a bit earlier.
One of many things I love about the Internet is being able to actually tell the world you are supportive of something that is very important for you.
Human rights is a very [...]

Before the ICCM started, as I knew Julian Scott will be one of the guest speakers, I decided to Google Julian and see what I come up with.
The results were interesting:
Julian Scott- a composer of music for films and such, and even scores music for the Olympic games in Beijing! But the more I look [...]

During the second Israeli Congress of Chinese Medicine (ICCM), we had a lecture and seminar with Barbara Kirschbaum.
If there will ever be a need to describe the term “cool chick”, Barbara Kirschbaum would easily be the first candidate that comes to my mind.
As fate wanted it, I suddenly found myself on a lunch date with [...]
