Twenty-Eighth Day -- Macro and Micro perspective

As I was pacing my step around the Bishan Park, initially when I started, my throat was nice and chill, I took a glass of water before I came, but as I made the fourth round, the throat was drier, the prickling sensation started to set in. Obviously, the breathing dried up the throat and it did not self lubricate. It occurred to me that during yesterday's lunch, I masticated the Persimmon into juice before swallowing it. The smooth and cool sensation soothed the prickling area, immediately there seem to be a switch that I notice the prickling was gone for the moment. 

It dawn on me now that because no one found anything wrong with the tongue and throat does not mean that the problem was not there. We only focused on the macro view of things. The scarring of the nerve nearer to the cranial; ingesting pills Lirica to numb the nerves in the process other functional faculty became duller; adjusting sleep to balance the body; listening to sound waves that benefited the psychological well-being. However, I had done little to cure the throat, except twice daily gargling of saltwater. Now the question is how to repair the surface of the throat and the tongue even if I cannot see it, but I could sense it. It was coarser as I swallow saliva after I had finished my exercise. At least I should have some drinks that could smooth the surface of the throat like the Persimmon juice. I had forgotten to look closer at the problem. The things I had been implementing now all have an overall impact on my other faculties -- the macro impact. They were not localized. I should also have a micro-view, a localized, detailed study at the throat and the tongue.

The question is how to cure the throat and tongue?

  1. Do not stress the tongue. Talking is one of those activities that resulted in fainting. Avoid talking let the throat and tongue rest. 
  2. Eat food or herb that nourishes the throat and tongue, for example, Aloe Vera, Honey, Birds Nest, GuiLingGao (龟苓膏). 
  3. Gargling with salt water, twice a day. Perhaps some kind of movement of the tongue could help too. What are those movements? 
  4. Practice vibration of the Larynx and the Pharynx. The word 'OM'
  5. Massage the muscles or nerves that have connections to the throat or tongue. 
  6. Check out TMC.
  7. Check with Doctors - will be seeing them for review
Drew a section of the anatomy so that I can understand it better. Maybe there are some clues there. 


So I started to take some Chinese Pei Pa Koa 川贝枇杷膏。 Drank a few spoons of my wife's concentrated bird nest jelly. Later my wife also prepared the Aleo vera with honey for me. Well, they were nice to drink. As for the effect, I did not think that it is going to be immediate. It should be over a longer period. Shall see.

Thirty Eight -- A break from the routine

Image
I had decided that Sunday to be dedicated to my other pleasure, photography. The routine of everyday can take a rest. I went out early to photograph birds and nature. Bishan Park, my favourite site, was looking warm and welcoming. Already many people were there, some running, some cycling, some walking and a few photographing with heavy, huge, camouflaged lens. I admired their strength and endurance to haul the weight and held them up to chase after that split moment. The lens and camera are expensive too. I used a bridge camera that is light in weight and my pocket. I hardly felt the prickling during bird hunting, perhaps I was too engrossed, or it was really so. I took all my meal at home and shuttled to the garden again after my breakfast and lunch. It was amazing to watch the bird going by their beings. Finally after two months, I was back to my routine, photographing. Birds are always alert, conscious of their environment and ever ready to take the flight of fright. I had learned ...

Twenty-Third day — reading cursive writing

Image
We went out for morning exercise at 7am. I walked at a slower pace, did about 3500 steps, then wind down with BaDuanJin. There were still some prickling at the tongue while I was walking. Q We saw the Flamed Back Woodpecker, hopping and scanning the bark of the tree trunk. Beautifully lighted in the golden light. She photographed, while I continued my walk. There were many kind park users who love to collect the crust of bread and spread them on selected grass patch, disregarding the no-feeding sign or the regulation. Previously I ever saw a beautiful yellow Oriole choked on the piece of bread. The Myna and the pigeon, mostly the black and grey bird know how to break it down before swallowing them. A proliferation of Myna and Pigeon can impact on the population of other birds population that are necessary for an ecologically balanced nature. Beauty is perhaps the only possible measure of that balance.  I always believe in sharing food with birds or animals but not the wrong kind of...
