MCM College: Body-Mind-Spirit Well-being Series III – On the Way to Heart Healing
 
 
In March every year, the students at UMAC are overwhelmed by mid-term exams, and often under academic pressure. The emotional tension that's left unchecked somehow can contribute to mental health problem. In order to raise awareness and have a better picture about mental health and related problems, Moon Chun Memorial College organized the “On the Way to Heart Healing Workshop” on 23rd March 2019. We were please to invite Dr. Lee Yu Ming, a doctor of Chinese Medicines from Hong Kong to be the tutor of the workshop.
At the beginning of the workshop, Dr. Lee asked each participant to share the symptoms of their health issues. The symptoms mentioned included pimple, headache, backache, spinal pain and insomnia etc.. Afterwards, Dr. Lee invited a few volunteers to have one-on-one consultation. While listening to the participants’ sharing, Dr. Lee explored the causes of their problems by asking questions on their daily habits and by checking on their look. He explained that physical illness is greatly related to body-mind-spirit. In order to be healed, it is more important to find out the causes related to mind and soul than to get rid of those physical symptoms.
Through this workshop, Dr. Lee hoped that the participants could understand that true health not only refers to physical health, but also spiritual health. He reminded the participants about the importance of body-mind-spirit well-being and encouraged them to adopt a positive attitude that places well-being at the heart of everyday life. It means taking care in everything they do, e.g. how they think, eat, exercise and interact with others. In doing so, they will gain the necessary momentum to change, into the person or being they would like to be, gradually over time.
滿珍紀念書院：身、心、靈健康系列 (三) 邁向「心醫」之路
每年三月，不少澳大學生忙於應付期中考而感到壓力大，情緒時常處於緊繃的狀態。若沒有適時舒緩，便會影響到個人的精神健康。為了增進學生對精神健康的知識和了解，滿珍紀念書院於2019年3月23日舉辦了邁向「心醫」之路工作坊，並邀請了來自香港的中醫師李宇銘博士擔任導師。
工作坊開始時，李博士邀請每位參加者分享他們身體不適的症狀，被提及的症狀包括暗瘡、頭痛、背痛、脊椎痛以及失眠等。及後，李博士邀請幾位自願者進行一對一的諮詢。李博士一邊聆聽他們的分享，一邊問他們一些關於日常生活習慣的問題以及進行面色診察，以探索問題的起因。他解釋身體上的疾病和身心靈有密切的關係，故此治病不單在消除症狀，找出心靈上的問題根源才是治本法。
李博士期望能夠透過此工作坊讓參加者明白真正的健康不僅指身體健康，也指心靈健康。他提醒參加者注重身心靈健康，並鼓勵他們採取積極的態度，以身心靈健康作為日常生活的重心，意思是指照顧好所做的每件事，如怎樣思考、飲食、運動以及與他人互動。這樣，他們將會獲得改變所需的動力，並逐漸成為理想中的自己。 |
