The Rake Philosophy – 10 Min’s to Total Mind-Body-Spirit Connection!
The Way Of The RakeMany years ago in the southern regions of a land far away lived a man by the name of Hewko. A poor man by providential state but rich in Mind, Body and Spirit.”Relationships” he would say, “are the true paths to wealth of soul, peace of mind and health of body”.And,”Relaxation is not for pillows as pillows are not for the relaxed”!Many seemingly wise and yet puzzling things he did say. . . leaving the disciples who sought him no further along in wisdom than before. No more peace of mind than a rabbit in the wild afraid to venture out of its hole for fear of being eaten. No less confused and no more focused on their self imposed task because they failed to act.But they sought him out all the same as all seekers must seek someone other than themselves to “show” them “the way”!The way of ‘The Rake’ clears all pathways that are unclear due to the fallen leaves of timeAnd what of you dear reader. . . do you also seek the spiritual healing that comes with the words of the Great Sage Hewko? Be of good cheer- the secret lies in the essence and foundation of The Rake! “The Way of the Rake”, as Hewko would say, “clears all pathways that are unclear due to the fallen leaves of time”; and I will share with you in a very few words the philosophy of The Rake and how you can apply it this very day with no further delay of peace to mind, depth to soul and life to body.”Just as the pathway of the forest is obscured by the leaves that fall there on. . . so also our minds are unclear by the task that fall upon our minds”. Too much technology, too many Business opportunities, too many bills to pay and just too many places to be and things to do. We are overwhelmed, our minds are cluttered, we do not exercise, we do not sleep. . . we know what we must do but do not!Meditation is a straw that eludes the grasp; yoga is an exercise of mind and body that does not always satisfy; crystals are debated, set on shelves and forgotten; and when feeling sluggish conventional medicine offers no cure- we seek “holistic” and/or “alternative medicines only to find more “alternatives” to the “alternatives”! Hewko would not deny all of the above as potential healing sources of mind, body and spirit. . . but one must first develop the discipline of The Rake!The Mind Body Spirit connection is Earth connected. . .All religions teach the importance of the Spirit Earth connection. The Bible says in the creation story of Genesis, “with labor and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life”. Man continually shirks his duty as “husband” of the land and wonders why he feels so lethargic. The sowing and reaping of years gone by is more and more distant from the lives of modern man. Hewko says, “Reach into the soil of your own backyard and grow something”!The Way of the Rake is nothing more than the rake you can buy at the local hardware store. . . take rake in hand and touch the Earth! Mind, Body and Spirit unite in that one simple action and you are centered, balanced and whole. The rake is literal but only part of it. Cultivate the earth, plant the seed and help it grow! The law of sowing and reaping has always been taught since the beginning of time through the planting of seed and is the foundation for all business and romance.If you are unable to find your way through religion. . . rake! If you are unable to quite the mind. . . rake! If you are overwhelmed with bills, business and the cares of this world. . . rake!Unplug from TV and computer, go outside and touch the Earth. Today’s modern man allocates these basic life giving energies to other men who regard these God given privileges as nothing more than a 9 – 5 J.O.B. How can we be sure our Mind, Body and Spiritual sufferings are nothing more than self imposed when we go for months and, for some, years without rolling in the hay?The man of religious conviction who studies the Bible and yet avoids his “curse” can no more expect God to answer his prayers than he can expect tomatoes to grow where he has not prepared the soil. Back to the land should be our motto. Home grown should be the description given the vegetables on our table. And the law of sowing and reaping should be the first law written on our hearts. . . Mind, Body and Spirit begins where the salad grows.Hewko’s Final Words”Clear the leaves from the path of your mind with The Rake! Touch the Earth and the Earth will touch you. When we Rake we use the Mind, we use the Body and we find our Spirit whole”.
How Can Cloud-Based PM Software Streamline Your Billing Process?
Medical practice management software has proven to be a very valuable tool for physicians and their staff for years. Tasks such as managing patient information, charge capture, patient billing, appointment scheduling, and a variety of reports are automated and easier through medical management software applications. Medical software is sometimes referred to as physician office mgmt. software or medical information systems. With the advent of cloud-based practice management software, does this take a valuable tool another step further or is this just a passing fad for medical offices and physicians? Some clear advantages to cloud-based medical computing solutions include:1. Readily accessible with minimal hardware/software investment. The pay-per-use model keeps initial costs down.2. Automated, real-time backup of critical files and systems is provided.3. A solution is available without the need for installation or software management by the client.4. A growing number of platforms are available including PC/laptop, smartphone, iPad and tablet devices. For the cloud-based medical management software market space, there are an increasing number of solutions available for physicians and medical offices.When evaluating a software solution, physicians should consider several features and options:How will cloud-based medical practice software improve the physician’s clinical workflow efficiency? Would instant-access to the software really save time?
Can the cloud-based practice management software improve reimbursements from insurance providers? Does it provide consistent coding and automated submittals?
What platforms are currently available as part of the medical practice management software today? What platforms are planned in the future and how soon will they be released? Can the physician office use the platforms that are currently available? For example, there is no need to pay for an iPad version if the medical office is not planning on investing in iPads.
Does this improve the patient experience? Does the medical practice software allow the doctor to spend more time with patients? Or will the physician have to spend more time behind a desk typing?
How flexible are the cloud-based medical management options? For some practices, an a la carte menu provides the needed flexibility. For other practices, having a “packaged” solution keeps things simple and easier to manage. The medical practice should review based on their specific needs and budget.As a greater number of medical professionals migrate to mobile computing, having a cloud-based practice management solution will become mandatory.
