A Giant Green Snake In My Dream

Sometimes dreams in one’s sleep are mainly scenes that are not related but when they forecast what is about to happen, that is the time we are able to relate each scene to the others and complete a story. 

On August 30, 2014,  I had one of the most vivid dreams in my sleep.  Instead of telling a boring story about the whole dream which came true,  I’d like to tell the outcome in real life of each scene in my dream as they happened after August 30.

Scene 1:   In front of me was a scenery of ships rushing on wavy waters.  I looked at my back and what I saw were antique ships that were not moving at the horizon of a very calm sea. I turned to the front again and was amazed with the swift ships braving the wavy waters.

I was to make a choice between a project that was not moving and a new career where events were happening too fast. I chose the latter since it could be a start of a big opportunity leading to a better future, though it could be on “wavy waters” or maybe stormy weathers.  Anyway,  I thought, perhaps I could still handle the old unfinished project when needed or let it go if I can’t.  After a week, I received a message that this old project will no longer be continued.

Scene 2:  I was inside a plain white building with an office of a company and I was looking for a job.  I was wondering why the building looked like a hospital.

The main site of the new project that I chose was at San Lazaro Hospital, supporting the “Hospitals as Centers for Wellness Program” of the government, which was initiated through GLCAM (Green Life Center for Alternative Medicine).

Scene 3:  The plain building has a garden and on this garden were two glass displays, each with a coiled snake inside, but one has Chinese buddhas with the snake.

The wellness program for the hospital consists of the basic naturopath principles and methods, and TCM which was used for thousands of years by the Chinese. Integrating the two is what will make the program more effective and different and that is a challenge to educational institutions offering the Doctor of Naturopath degree. They couldn’t just remain in “separate glass displays”.

Scene 4:  While in the garden with the two glass displays with snake inside,  I could see another garden at a distance, and it has a coiled giant green snake lying freely on its ground.  They said it is off limits to visitors so I can’t go there.

It was indeed a stormy weather that we all went through, sad to say, my group representing TCM implementing green acupuncture (needleless or electro-acupuncture), and the other group.  But I have high hopes that there will be a reconciliation and successful integration, that I will not remain a visitor in that hospital and will be able to go near or even be a part of the “coiled big green snake lying freely on the garden” of the hospital, using my state-of-the-art Tiens health gadgets that helped my family for years.

A new dream product !

Last week, the classmate of my special child was so restless and irritable until I had the chance to put our Tiens Multifunctional Head Care Apparatus at the back of her head near the nape. It seemed it instantly relaxed her and after 5 minutes, she was back to a cheerful though blind kid as if nothing happened to her.

Three of the best features of this Tiens Multifunctional Head Care Apparatus is its ergonomic design enabling a person to hold it easily, touch it to several acupoints at a time, and allowing its bio-energies to work in synergy on the acupoints. At the center of 35 bio-electric acupuncture points is a low intensity laser light and optional vibration, all together shortens the therapy time.

An example of its application is at the back of the head which can be placed at the middle, between the head and nape so it covers several acupoints. Putting the apparatus on this location can clear the sense organs and alleviate several conditions like the following:

• hypertension
• headache or migraine
• stiff neck
• dizziness
• flu-like symptoms
• seizures

Although the name of this apparatus implies that it is for the head, it can be used in other parts of the body, especially where there is pain.  What I also like about this apparatus is the smooth ends of the points because I can use it to stimulate the lung and large intestine meridians by scanning the skin of the arms which is very effective in fighting a fever without medicines or alleviating cough and colds.

Decluttering and Preparing for Christmas - Part 2

This is a post I am obliged to write before the end of this year since there was a Part 1. The time was not enough for even 50% decluttering of what was on the list in my mind but so many revelations appeared to tell me the kind of "decluttering" that are more important. It started when my husband and I heard mass during the first Sunday of the month of December which is the First Sunday of Advent. Each Sunday of Advent was explained by the priest during the Homily and that made me realize how to continue my "decluttering" project at this time of the year.

I realized that when the First Sunday of Advent has come, I should start preparing the house for the coming of a "Guest of Honor", our Saviour Jesus Christ. I was inspired by that thought so decluttering whatever I can continued coupled with thorough cleaning, the "thorough" not part of the original plan. By the time I lit the "pink candle" during the Third Sunday of Advent, the house was ready. The "pink candle" is a symbol of joy signifying that the coming of Jesus Christ is very near. The presence of Jesus Christ as an objective in the project helped me declutter not only the house but my mind and spirit as well, though I will need a "decluttering maintenance" since some problems crop up from time to time.

So what were my accomplishments so far aside from those I've already mentioned? I've dug some magazines I can sell later and have started an inventory. I've even started a website where I can sell my books and magazines. I was hoping to include a link here but there are so many things to still be considered like including the mailing rates in the price of the books, etc.



I also needed to perform some "decluttering" of my negative thoughts like "if I couldn't sell my books and magazines where will I get the budget for our food?", so I've started to plant vegetables in our small garden in front of the house where I can easily protect the plants from pets. My "alugbati" (a type of spinach?) is now growing, I have one mustard plant, and a lot of baby pechays. They were all experimental so I will be adding more if I will be successful.



Some people are afraid to think about starting to declutter because it can cause some stress since it would mean some changes that have to be undergone in the process. But isn't a big change is what most of us wanted our government and the world to accomplish? I was so lucky that I've decided to start this dream project just in time to also prepare for Christmas because I had the best inspiration, our Saviour Jesus Christ. For others, it just occurred to me that the time is also right to start because in no time, the Holy Week is here. The more we should be inspired because we will be reminded why He was born in the first place, which was to save us. He sacrificed and died on the cross to save mankind.

A Free Brand New Family Car!

A brand new car is almost everyone’s dream and although it was my dream too, I’ve never included it in my Dreams List because I knew it wasn’t possible. We got used to buying second hand cars and each that we bought was always good enough.

Well, I’m so excited to say now that I can own a free brand new Avanza family car! That was made possible by our leaders in Tiens, who have suggested to the board of Tiens Group to include that incentive for the Asia Pacific Tiens distributors who have reached the top basic rank, which is 8-star!

But wait, I’m not yet there! I’m just a 6-star distributor who couldn’t go out of the house for network marketing. I have a special child to bring to school and therapies almost everyday, and a family to look after. The latter, was the main reason why I became a 6-star, however. Through Tiens, I tried to learn everything that will help my family’s health and wellness. I learned how to use the "Tong Bao" or Tiens Acupoint Treasure, and just a few more seminars and experiences and I can be considered a TCM principle expert.

Aside from becoming a TCM principle expert (not really a TCM practitioner expert because that will entail me to become an expert in acupuncture, Tai Chi, etc.), my goal the coming year, 2014, is to become a 7-star, and that should happen before the annual awarding of incentives by Tiens in August. I won't have the car yet (sigh) but as a promoted 7-star, I will be awarded with a free trip incentive I may choose among three places and they are China, Australia or Holy Land. It might take time for me to become an 8-star and get the free Avanza car valued at US$15,000 and that is possible with the help of my friends and relatives, and if you’re one of them, I won’t be ashamed to ask you now to help me achieve this dream, be a member of my group if you’re not yet a Tiens member, because you will be helping your family in the long run and also get your own free brand new family car, or even a luxury car like BMW or Mercedes Benz if you have time to invite people around the globe to join you in Tiens and you'd belong to the Honorary ranks as a result.

Before I can get the free Avanza car incentive, you know what should happen to my downlines who are mostly my relatives and friends who have helped me take care of my family and who took care of their family too through Tiens products? They would already be entitled to a free trip of their choice among the three places I've mentioned for those promoted to 7-star, while those promoted from 4-star to 5-star will get a free trip to Malaysia or Singapore. Those promoted to 6-star will get the free Honda motorcycle incentive valued at US$1,500. If any of the 4-stars will be promoted to 5-star then to 6-star the same year, then they'll get the free trip to Malaysia or Singapore, and also the Honda motorcycle.

The requirement is so easy, just be an active member or distributor of Tiens by purchasing products equivalent to the required "business volume" of your rank every month. A 3-star for example, may just purchase a Tiens herbal toothpaste or one pack of Airiz sanitary napkin with negative ion every month, these two products both less than Php300. For a 6-star like me, I will schedule to purchase Tiens Cordyceps, Tiens Zinc and Tiens Cordycafe which will amount to less than Php3,000 per month and I will still get 28% rebates from these products, and also get rebates equivalent to 4% to 24% from the purchases of my downlines, depending on their rank (the higher their rank, the smaller I get but the faster I will be promoted).

For more information about the products of Tiens and our group, please click here which has the URL of the website I have created for my group and center my sister and I called "Haus of Youth". I will always be updating this website to make up for my physical absence.

I will always be here "in the cloud" though not at all times to chat with people, but don’t forget that God too is in the cloud and everywhere at all times, listening to everyone's dreams! It's me, Lubel/Malu/Malui/Lulubelle/Luisa/Luvell

Decluttering and Preparing for Christmas - Part 1

The "Decluttering Dream" I introduced in my previous post (last month) is indeed a big one, I realized. But it is something that should be started and maintained so there will be a smooth flow of energy in the immediate surroundings of a person. Good results will follow because there will also be a smooth flow of energy inside the body, mind and spirit.

I am so glad that I have just converted a negative forecast into a positive outcome because I was motivated to do this decluttering project based on a Feng Shui warning on my susceptibility to illness this month, then I was blessed to suddenly see a book with tips on decluttering that will help ward off illnesses since it will result to a smooth flow of energy, like I mentioned earlier.

I started by removing the big center table from the Southeast location of our bedroom which is my sign's location as well as my husband's (Snake and Dragon). My location should be free from clutter, says the warning. Clutter is hard to remove from a bedroom but as long as they are organized in functional containers, they will be put to use as expected and will no longer be called clutter. Of course those that are no longer used among the family members' clothes and shoes should be given away. Next was what to place on the center table that I transferred to the living room. I've coincided my preparation for Christmas with my rearranging of pieces of furniture so a few Christmas decors were placed on the table, and this time, it was early enough for me to look for Advent candles. Some clutters are not bad, according to the book, like the photo albums mostly of my children that I open once in a while, an activity that makes me feel good, so they were retained on the lower part of the center table.


On the wall between our bedroom and the living room are some of my favorite things, like the graduation portraits of my son and daughter, mother and child wall carving, a small frame for family pictures, the wall clock that I cross stitched, then on top of the piano is the family of three sheep figurine which symbolizes a happy family, and since it is Christmas, my favorite house covered with snow which serves as our overnight lamp. This area, I always frame with Christmas garlands every Christmas. Christmas lights on the garland will be installed next month.

Not much change in the dining area where Mama Mary's altar is and the kitchen, except for the Christmas motif which included poinsettia flowers. Of course more chipped glass wares were discarded. I had my lesson on that because I got a cut for not discarding a chipped one.



There are still a lot of decluttering to be done in the living area since we just have a small house. Some are doable while some might remain a dream for a long time. Like the books on the display cabinet that I have to sell hopefully in the near future, perhaps some of the movies in DVDs that my husband collected though I know they are really very good movies just like the "South Pacific" we watched while I was shooting the photos here. My dream to replace the "fat screen" we had was fulfilled when we sold the lot my husband co-owned with his sister, and now my dream is to replace the "fat amplifiers" that overpower the Christmas decors at Christmas. I guess I will retain my slim Christmas tree forever, so it's the size of the electronics that have to be reduced, except for the screen of course.

A Brand New Career

I wonder if a person who is considered a senior citizen would still dream of a new career. That can be too late. But if that new career can help a person maintain a good health and young looks, why not?

At this point in time, I'm not yet that senior citizen but pretty soon I will belong to their club, LOL! So it is just right for me to be prepared for that very challenging phase of life, as if I'm having a brand new career. Can you guess what kind of career would that be? It is similar to a career in culinary arts, but there is a major difference between the two because I am referring to preparing raw healthy foods, that is, juicing vegetables aside from preparing salads from them. I'd like to enhance that career soon by preparing my own oils too.

Using a multi-purpose juicer, the first vegetable juice that I've prepared was a Wheatgrass Medley juice and my first trial seemed perfect. For the 50 grams of wheatgrass, I added one half of big Fuji apple, half of a big cucumber, a long stalk of celery and about 5 stalks of parsley. The wheatgrass may be replaced with spinach, but the taste of course is more "leafy" but still good!

I am excited with this new career, I never thought I would call it a career but it is indeed a career because a lot has to be learned.

(First photo of juice shown used wheatgrass while second photo of juice used spinach, both with other ingredients mentioned above.)

(Malunggay juice using 100 grams of malunggay leaves with 200 grams of fresh pineapple.)

Fulfilling the dream - to be a therapist

I first blogged about a new dream to study the acupuncture points of the body on September 2, 2008, and then elevated that dream of becoming a "therapist". Today, I'm declaring myself a therapist since I've already proven a number of times that I can indeed treat people by just stimulating their acupoints with my Tiens non-invasive gadgets and boosting their immune systems with the right supplements.

That doesn't mean that I've memorized the 2,000 acupoints of the body. I was forced to fulfill that dream because I needed to address the immediate health problems of my family. It did not really take more than two years because I had a full time job in 2009 but resigned after 9 months because I didn't feel at ease with my own health. As a therapist, I need to be healthy myself.

However, I cannot be a professional therapist because I still lack the required schooling and licence. I am now thinking if my next dream should be to take up "Master of Science in Asian Health Practices".

What is more important at this point in time is that members of my family are immediately treated even without medicines. Every case of illness in my own family that I successfully treat makes me very happy!

Worldwide health care

Under the arms of the United Nations is a World Health Organization which of course is in charge of the world's health. It was created in 1948, the time when the first batches of baby boomers were born. Though born later, I was a baby boomer and I probably knew the very specific functions of this organization when I was in grade school. But that was long ago, and I can just imagine how hard it was to develop health programs for the whole world. This is the 21st century where everything is possible with the help of modern technology and the internet. The great dream for worldwide health care is possible not only by an organization but even by a single baby boomer.

I admit that I am one of those baby boomers trying to be a messiah to save the health of mankind, in my own little way of sharing whatever I learned about health and wellness. I am aware though that caring for the world's health is not as easy as sharing information through the internet. In my blogs, I share some philosophies of TCM or Traditional Chinese Medicine, not knowing who would believe them.

Perhaps the greater dream is for all philosophies of medicine to be integrated, such as Oriental or Traditional Chinese Medicine integrated to Western Medicine. Some might say, that is an impossible dream, but I prefer to base my beliefs on simple observations. For instance, the scrubs which are now worn as medical uniforms in hospitals can easily be the standard uniforms for healthcare. So when one sees a person in scrubs in any part of the world, an instant message is understood: that person's mission is health care.

I've noticed in Wikipedia's definition of health care that it pertains to humans and haven't found the word "animal" in its definitions. In TCM, acupuncture can be applied to animals as well, in fact pet lovers should start learning about it if they really care for their pets. The scrubs can be veterinary scrubs that will send the same message of caring for health though this time it involves animals. Health care includes acupuncture while acupuncture includes the animals, therefore health care should include the animals.

Write about your dream!

I've been very busy these days, but I have to write about my dreams! Perhaps I'm not really too busy to write, I'm just overwhelmed with the consecutive events that's happening. I am overwhelmed because each event was not planned to follow the preceding one, but they looked planned step by step, of course by God, because who am I to know what's going to happen next? These were the events that happened, without me knowing that the next will happen.

1. I resigned from my regular work to be able to work full time with my network in Tiens. I was inspired by my trip in Jakarta last November, so on the first week of December I decided to resign, to take effect February 1.

2. Last January, Tianshi Phils. announced the Tiens Wellness Center Program, and the training started the last part of that month. Since I have resigned from work, I was able to attend all the trainings given. I wrote about that in a previous post here.

3. In my search for people interested to have their own Wellness Center, I remembered to approach a herbal supplements stockist, and she was interested. She said it was her dream to own a Wellness Center. The problem though is the start-up since she has used up her funds, so I volunteered to shoulder some initial stocks just to be able to introduce the products of Tiens in her center. We are taking it slow now, since she still has to serve her regular clients.

4. My partner and I decided to proceed slowly by focusing on health gadgets first. We planned to schedule demos but she knows just a little about the gadgets.

5. Surprisingly, a training on Tiens gadgets was scheduled by Tianshi Phils. on Monday, so I told my partner she has to attend that training.

6. Surprisingly also, my husband and I will be involved in an exclusive wellness forum this Friday. I need to display some products so I pulled out most Tiens products from my partner's center. I still lack some gadgets so I need to get them from the Head Office. Anyway, I can display them at my friend's center after the forum if they are not sold.

With all those events I enumerated, perhaps anybody can now predict what can happen next. Please make your predictions very positive. I have a very simple dream, to be able to help people maintain good health, by sharing everything I learned about wellness, but I also need to earn an income since I no longer have a regular job.

Have you read my earlier post about a dream, to be A "therapist"?

A "therapist"

Early in September last year, I published a post in this blog about a new dream, which is simply to learn a person's acupoints. This was the last paragraph I wrote in that post:

"Among the dreams I ever thought of, this seems to be the simplest, but can be a most challenging one because of what it can achieve after I learn. I can save lives, even my own life! Isn't that wonderful?"

I'd like to say now that on the contrary, it is not that simple. There are 2,000 acupoints, so when can I ever get to learn all of them? The only way I know is to immediately apply through actual therapy, whenever a group of acupoints is learned. Using the Tiens Acupoint Treasure or "Tong Bao", which is a needleless acupuncture gadget with a 400 gauss magnetic tip or beam, I started with myself. With a pressure that is bearable, the tip is pressed on the acupoint for 5 seconds, rotated clockwise for 10 seconds, pressed steadily for 5 seconds, and then rotated counterclockwise for 10 seconds. That process is one cycle lasting for 30 seconds, and 6 cycles should be completed for each acupoint. The action of this magnetic tip simulates that of an acupuncture needle as the process is performed. Though I was taking supplements which I knew helped a lot in my wellness, I believe that the procedure hastened my expelling of phlegm, when I had cough and colds during the cold months late last year.

Becoming a professional therapist was never in my thoughts, not even in my dreams, until this year. The irony is I cannot find time now to perform the acupuncture therapy on myself. I usually do it for my special child to clear her liver "chi" (qi), since she regularly takes drugs for her cerebral palsy, and now for my sister-in-law who has cataract. The treatment for cataract involves several acupoints, so that the whole treatment takes one hour and four cycles are done for each acupoint instead of the usual six.

I am not yet a professional therapist, but I'm on my way to become one.

Fitness as a goal

A totally normal blood test result will make my dream to be healthy come true, since I've seen that the supplements I've been taking are helping me, but probably some changes in my activities also helped, like my once a week commuting and walking to and from a church. Since the rest of our household share the same dream to be healthy, we have resolved to schedule an at least once a week serious walking for fitness. Fortunately, the best place to do that is just near our house, and I'm talking about the University of the Philippines compound in Diliman.

My husband, sister in-law and I have started walking last Saturday, and tomorrow, which will be our second Saturday to do that, my daughter will join us. Next week, we definitely have more time for walking since Monday is a holiday here in the Philippines, but more members of the household would like to join us.

That goes to show that fitness as a goal, which can benefit every person, can be contagious and motivating, and that means there is a big chance for that common goal to be successfully achieved.

A healthy dream

The healthy dream as a title of this post has a literal meaning because it really concerns my health. Years ago, my cholesterol level had always been high and since I learned that women over 35 will always have high cholesterol level, my goal had been a high "good cholesterol or HDL" and low "bad cholesterol or LDL". That is not something I should be proud of however, so it was just a goal and not in my dreams list.

Until I've started to test the effects of the Tiens supplements I was taking. I started with Chitosan for cleansing for two weeks only and my low HDL and hign LDL were reversed. After cleansing, I tried Cordyceps and Spirulina separately. Both gave good results because they both lowered my cholesterol level. In my last blood test, my sugar, uric acid and cholesterol all decreased. My cholesterol is now just .5 away from the normal value. I believe that the synergy of Cordyceps and Spirulina will finally make all my blood chemistry values normal. That is something I should be proud of, so I am now including it in my dreams list. It was an impossible dream, but not anymore.

A Bronze Lion

It is now 8:30 in the morning, and Monday here in the Philippines. At this very moment I'm looking at the Ranks Criterion of Tiens Philippines where my status is now 4-star, out of 8 stars. After the 8-star rank are the "Lion" ranks. These are the rewards these lion ranks get:

Bronze Lion: International Travel
Silver Lion: Luxury Car (BMW)
Gold Lion : Luxury Yacht
Gold Diamond Lion: Private Airplane

And a Villa Reward for Honorary Director who has 4 Gold Lions under his network.

The reason why I can confidently tell the whole world about these rewards is because Tiens is known worldwide and so many nations are contented with the health benefits they get from Tiens, which are much more important than the material rewards.

I can tell you that I am now more at peace about my health though the last ultrasound of my breasts showed several small benign cysts. I've just started to regularly take Tiens Cordyceps capsules (5 in the morning and 5 in the evening), which will inhibit the growth of the cysts. I will have another ultrasound before the year ends, and every six months thereafter.

As far as rank is concerned, my dream is to be a Bronze Lion. That means that I will get an international travel as a reward, as well as a world wide bonus of 1% of the Global Gross Sales of Tiens divided among the qualified Bronze Lions.

If you find my dream awesome and you want to remain healthy, we can help each other if there's a Tiens branch near your place. Just register as a member and write my name and Tiens ID No. as your sponsor. My full name is Maria Luisa Taa Venida, my Tiens International ID No. is 87742869, and my email address is mltv@ymail.com. I am willing to share everything I learned from Tiens about wellness and the real financial freedom.

"Focus on helping others, and your success will follow".

A dream product

What can be a dream product? Maybe it is something that can give you sweet dreams. I know that statement sounds corny, but it can be true. The Tiens Dream Bio-Energy Health Mattress has an unusual silent magnetic vibrations that exercise your body while you sleep. This could activate your body’s anti-aging, anti-cancer water molecules, revitalize your kidney functions and blood circulation, also activate your cells, improving their metabolic functions, and balance your automatic nervous system. Also purify your blood, balance its pH, strengthen your immune system, and regulate your body temperature.

How is that possible? There are 380 pieces of 3 different types of stones in Tiens Dream Bio-Energy Health Mattress. These stones are the source of miracle healing power of Tiens Dream:

Germanium is also known as far infra red stone. This is the newly developed FIR Stone. It is produced from a combination of germanium, quartz, feldspar, loess and ceramic. The stone is heated at 1300 degree C using high technology method. After processing, Germanium stone releases higher intensity of F.I.R than other gem stones.

Tourmaline is the highest energy crystal in the world. It has two physical features, namely Pyroelectricity and Plezoelectricity. Pyroelectricity is the condition where Tourmaline carries positive and negative charge under different temperatures. Plezoelectricity is the vertical direction of Tourmaline that meets up two ends and produces negative charge. Such negative charge will be absorbed by molecules in the air and becomes negative ions.

Jade stone is validated as one of the sources of F.I.R. It is widely used in promoting blood circulation, anti-aging, enhancing immunity and relieving fatigue. Besides, examinations showed that jade stone contains lots of important elements such as calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium. For thousands of years, jade stone had been used as health accessories by the oriental people. This was recorded in a lot of ancient medical books.

The arrangement of the stones has massaging effect on muscle nerves. It can relieve tiredness, improve air circulation and remove body heat. Its exclusive structure helps improve health while sleeping. For maximum effectiveness, the temperature of the mattress can be regulated by a controller.

Note: The above product was upgraded to this latest model, the Tiens Photon Bio-energy Mattress.

A new dream

I have a new dream, and that is to learn the acupuncture points of the body so I can perform acupressure or acupuncture using the more modern gadgets (electronic acupuncture). I wonder how long it will take me to study those acupoints?

Among the dreams I ever thought of, this seems to be the simplest, but can be a most challenging one because of what it can achieve after I learn. I can save lives, even my own life! Isn't that wonderful?
