我是個音樂人。從國中開始聽英文歌，沒有人教，也沒有誰引領，只是對電視裡播放的西洋歌曲特別有感應。

聽歌是一種行為，更是身體的直覺，它會主動抓住自己喜歡的旋律。那時我還不懂歌曲意境，於是旋律成了我挑選音樂的唯一準則。

我從未停止過聽音樂，大學時期最瘋狂，我甚至成為班上舞會的「專任排歌人」，更精準的說，是負責營造氣氛的人。

學生時代做任何事都聽從內心，錄製好歌送給同學成了我的職責；畢業後，這份「音樂傳遞情緒」的本領，也成了追求女友的小祕訣。

當我開始思考人生意義，逐漸走入歌曲的內在世界。我開始傾聽創作者想說什麼，從此歌曲帶給我的情緒變得更深、更廣、更有衝擊力。

我總是知道：當我獨自聆聽音樂時，我就在我自己的世界。眼前的世界是眼前的世界，而我的世界在詞曲的敘述裡。

 

幾年前，朋友邀請我擔任老歌社團的撰述與管理員。我很樂意，也期待透過歌曲為特殊情緒與靈感找到共鳴。

社團成立前幾年，我依然是我自己。直到某一天，社團開始邀請樂隊辦歡唱聚會。一群人上台高歌、玩得盡興，我卻感覺那不再是我的天地。

我一向順著感覺走，當磁場不再共振，我自然遠離。大家都喜歡西洋音樂，聚在一起應該很愉快才對，這無關對錯，而是能量不再對頻。

我專注讓自己快樂，不會讓自己委屈。

步入「從心所欲」的年紀後，我對每件事都要求自己清楚「為何而做」。遠離磁場不合的場合成了必然，那些沒有交集的對話，也從我的生活中消失了。

知心朋友很重要，真正的交友，是相互理解、相互關懷。我不想錯過人生觀契合的人，我願意用生命珍惜理念一致的同行者。

音樂會交心，朋友也需要交心，這些都是健康的重要拼圖。對我而言，可談心的知己，是永遠填寫不完的幸福填空題。

與世界的磁場，一旦不合，就該離開，這是我的堅持。

 

回到我的工作：我寫書，我講授斷食養生，我引導聽得懂的人繼續前行，陪伴願意改變自己的人持續努力。

我不斷問自己為何做這件事，也不斷提醒自己它的意義。

眼前能改變多少人，或許不是我能關注；真正值得放在心上的，是未來能影響多少人，那是這份工作的方向與使命。

我深信：能夠輕鬆自在的做自己，是每個靈魂最深的渴望。我雖然常公開承認自己反骨，但其實我有一種「迎合靈性意願」的慣性，只是早期還不懂行為與內在動機的關係。

環境很殘酷，現實也常讓人挫折。讓我堅持近二十年的動力，從來都不是那些轉身離開的人，而是那些被觸動的眼神。

到底是什麼力量讓我堅定了二十年？或許我也曾找不到答案，而真正的答案是：

這是一份「我與我自己」合而為一的工作。

走過的路上，有幾千個人的足印。終於，有越來越多的人懂我；而這些懂我的人，也懂他們自己；當他們開始懂自己，也就開始能「和自己在一起」。

 

我的人生劇本裡，親人的身影不多，陪伴在我身旁的，多半是理念一致的人。多年來，我心裡一直有個圖像：一群健康的人，一群快樂的人。

如果要同時擁有健康與快樂，有一件事是絕對的：你必須與自己在一起。否則，終究會發現生命少了一塊拼圖。

遠離了自己，就遠離了健康，也遠離了快樂。

我曾試著講授何謂「和自己在一起」，真相是，這是每個人必須自行領悟的課題。所有阻礙覺悟的，無非是殘酷的現實，與牢固的社會教條。

而堅持不與自己在一起的最大表現之一，就是把自己的健康交給他人處理。

幾百人、甚至幾千人排斥我分享的健康之路，我反而從中看到自己的成熟，也看到自己站上更高的視角。

最後，我想透露的是：我所分享的養生體悟，核心其實是「和自己的身體在一起」。

這只是「和自己在一起」的一部分，卻是每個人都無法例外、也無法逃避的生命之道。

When You Are Truly Yourself

I am a music person. I started listening to English songs in junior high. No one taught me, and no one guided me; I simply felt an instinctive resonance with the Western music played on TV.
Listening to music is an act—but even more so, it’s the body’s intuition. It reaches out and grabs the melodies it loves. Back then, I understood little about a song’s deeper meaning, so melody alone became my only criterion.

I never stopped listening to music. In college, I was at my wildest—I even became the “official playlist curator” for our class dances, or more precisely, the person responsible for shaping the atmosphere.
During my student years, I followed my heart in everything I did. Recording songs for classmates became my small duty; after graduation, this ability to “carry emotion through music” became a secret weapon in courting my girlfriend.

As I began searching for the meaning of life, I gradually stepped into the inner landscapes of music. I started listening to what the songwriter truly wanted to say. From then on, songs stirred deeper, broader, and more powerful emotions within me.
I always knew: whenever I listened to music alone, I entered my own world. The world before my eyes was just the world before my eyes; but my real world lived inside the stories told by melody and lyrics.
—

A few years ago, a friend invited me to write for and help manage a classic-songs community. I accepted with joy, looking forward to matching songs with the emotions and inspirations they could carry.
For the first few years, I was still entirely myself.

Then one day, the group began hosting karaoke-style gatherings with live bands. People sang their hearts out on stage, enjoying themselves immensely—but I felt the space was no longer mine.
I have always followed my intuition. When the frequencies no longer resonate, I naturally step away.
Everyone loved Western music; gathering together should have been delightful. But this had nothing to do with right or wrong—our energies simply no longer aligned.
I focus on keeping myself happy. I do not force myself into places that make me shrink.

As I entered the age of “following the heart,” I began requiring myself to know clearly why I do anything.
Distancing myself from mismatched environments became inevitable; conversations without true connection gradually disappeared from my life.

Close friends matter. True friendship is mutual understanding and mutual care.
I don’t want to miss people whose worldview aligns with mine. I am willing to cherish, with my whole life, the companions who walk in the same direction.

Music connects heart-to-heart. So do friendships.
These connections are vital pieces in the puzzle of health.
To me, friends with whom I can speak deeply are endless blessings—a happiness that never runs out.

And so I hold to one principle:
When your frequency no longer matches the world around you, it is time to leave.
—

Returning to my work: I write books, I teach fasting and health, I guide those who can truly hear, and I walk with people willing to change themselves.
I constantly ask myself why I do what I do, and I constantly remind myself of its meaning.

How many people I can change right now is not what I focus on.
What matters is how many people I may influence in the future. That is the direction and mission of this work.

I deeply believe: being able to simply and freely be oneself is the deepest longing of every soul.
Although I openly admit I have a rebellious streak, the truth is that I’ve always had a natural tendency to follow the desires of my inner spirit—something I only learned to understand much later.

The world can be harsh, and reality often brings discouragement.
Yet what has sustained me for nearly twenty years has never been those who turned away—it has always been the eyes of those who were moved.

What gave me the strength to persist for two decades?
Perhaps I once struggled to find the answer. But the real answer is:

This is work in which I am wholly united with myself.

Along the path I’ve walked are the footprints of thousands.
More and more people understand me now; and those who understand me also begin to understand themselves.
When they begin to understand themselves, they finally learn how to “stand with themselves.”
—

In the story of my life, I don’t have many relatives by my side. Most people who walk with me are those who share my values.
For many years, I’ve held a clear image in my heart: a group of healthy people, a group of joyful people.

To possess both health and happiness, one thing is absolute:
You must be with yourself.
Otherwise, life will always feel incomplete.

When you drift away from yourself, you drift away from health—and from happiness.

I once tried teaching people what it means to “be with yourself.” But the truth is, it is a realization each person must arrive at on their own.
What obstructs that awakening is almost always the same: harsh realities and the rigid rules of society.

And one of the clearest signs that a person is not with themselves
is handing their health over to others.

Hundreds—perhaps thousands—have rejected the health path I teach.
Yet instead of discouraging me, it showed me my own growth, and allowed me to see from a higher vantage point.

Finally, I want to reveal one thing:
The essence of everything I share about health is truly this—

to stand with your own body.

This is only one part of “being with yourself,”
but it is a part no one can avoid, no one can bypass.
It is a fundamental way of life for every human being.
