    Listen in for this discussion of building trust and creating a practice that helps patients to navigate between Chinese medicine and modern oncology.

  • 179 If you don’t run your business, your business will run you • Dave Kaster

    生意 sheng yi, are the characters in Chinese that mean business. They literally mean, “create meaning.” And when you think about it, any successful business does exactly that; it creates meaning and provides something of value. 

    From your favorite indy coffeeshop, to the yoga studio where you love to stretch into your body, to the company that makes the winter coat you love to wear, there are people who are spending their life energy creating something in which you find value, meaning and joy. 

    Why is it that so often we have such a dim view of business, when business is about creating something helps to make other people’s lives better?

    Listen in to this conversation with Dave Kaster as we take a look at how running a business is part art, part science, and requires a steady  and committed heart.

  • 178 Questioning like a Detective • Jason Robertson

    Questions are a key aspect of helping us to understand how to help our patients. In school we learn the classic 10 questions. But asking useful questions in clinic goes far beyond the basic 10 and what’s more our lines of questioning are not about creating conversation, but able sifting through a patient’s experience so we can come up with a diagnosis so that we can then craft an effective treatment.

    In this conversation with Jason Robertson we touch on how Dr. Wang Ju-Yi would use questions like a great detective. How questions can act like the qi transformations of Open, Pivot and Close. And some questions gleaned from other practitioners  that Michael has brought into his practice.

    Listen in to this discussion of how skillful questioning is an essential part of the treatment process, as we need to first know what we are seeing, and who a patient is,  before we can skillfully intervene.

  • 177 A Student Marketing Project • Megan Bulloch

    The great thing about being a student is that you have permission to be curious. It’s your job to push the edges. To crank open your mind and leave a vast swath of empty space in your being so as to allow your studies and experience to shape you into something you’ve imagined, but have not yet attained. 

    Students are expected to push the edges, and they have permission to discover.

    This conversation with first year acupuncture student Megan Bulloch started as an email that said… I need to reach out and talk about business and marketing as part of my studies. Can I ask you a few questions?

    You know how I love questions. 

    Listen into this conversation about medicine, marketing and muse.

About Qiological Podcast

From the publisher's feed

Acupuncture and East Asian medicine was not developed in a laboratory. It does not advance through double-blind controlled studies, nor does it respond well to petri dish experimentation. Our medicine did not come from the statistical regression of randomized cohorts, but from the observation and treatment of individuals in their particular environment. It grows out of an embodied sense of understanding how life moves, unfolds, develops and declines.
