Just ten questions? Mike Cummings
What gets you out of bed in the morning?
Most mornings I stay in bed and practice languages on Duolingo – Mandarin, Portuguese, and Korean currently. Twice a week I head into town early after a triple espresso and hopefully still eight hours of sleep.
What would you save in a fire?
I guess the question is about any material (flammable) things that are particularly important to me… still nothing is coming!
How do you get your qi moving?
Lu Jong – a Tibetan movement practice derived from Tantrayana Buddhism and Bon traditions. Technically, I am now a Lu Jong five elements teacher – quite a transition from starting my career in the military
Advice for your seven-year-old self?
Don’t work so hard, and don’t believe everything you hear from adults, no matter how important they seem to be
Advice for your 70-year-old self?
You made it then! None of us were expecting that! I guess you better keep doing the same 🙂
What makes you sweat?
I used to love sweating from every pore. Now that only ever happens in a sauna or steam room
Your biggest headache?
The negative influence of capitalism in healthcare
What makes you feel alive?
Walking in forests or mountains
Favourite thing in your clinic room?
A pair of eyes with eyelashes drawn on the wall to make a surprised face out of some plastered in holes…
