Ah! It's Spring! The assertive, flexible, persistent, resilient and patient green shoots are continuing to pushup through the warmer ground. Flowers are appearing, coloring our world with a the vibrance of the season. Blossoms on trees dot the sky. Leaves are unfurling. Pollin is in the air! Minus any allergies - There is something so wonderfully life affirming and life giving about Spring! As outside of us, so inside of us. This is the season for us to cultivate our innate abilities of resiliency, flexibility, assertiveness, persistence, and patience,. Choosing to let go or release (which works better for you?) anger, jealousy, frustration, disappointments, irritations, and generalized stress, we open space to grow our internal garden with the more, shall we say, useful characteristics of Spring. In Chinese Medicine, Spring is the season of the Liver Organ System. This means, we pay particular attention to our Livers and Gallbladders. On an emotional level, we can choose to notice, acknowledge, and let fly with the Spring Winds those feelings of anger, jealousy, resentment, frustration, irritation, dissapointments and generalized stress. As watching clouds come and go, we can watch these emotions come and go. We can choose to focus on the blue sky behind the clouds. We can choose to focus on our inner wellbeing and nurture and cultivate it. On our gifts, our strengths, our blessings, our physical health. As those of us who Spring Clean our homes and those of us who garden picking through the weeds, trimming the perrenials, and removing debris and even trash that has blown in, we can Spring Clean ourselves. Spring is a time of "rebirth, refresh, and renewal" all wrapped up in one. It is the season of Green! Unlike "green with envy", we can be aware, notice, and be curious about the green around us, with the growing abundance of shades of green every day. We can grow green on the inside - we can grow Kindness - another feature of Spring, of the Liver Organ System . It is my hope that we, as individuals, communities, and nations with lives and a world experiencing so much hatred, brutal egos, and turmoil, that we can choose peace within ourselves. That we can choose to take the time to bring kindness to ourselves and to others. To all others. And, as is a feature of Qi Gong, with no judgement. With a desire for understanding, with the ability to listen, with respect and with love. May we be like Nature in Spring and be flexible, resilient, and grow. Happy Spring! AND - Qi Gong is a great way to get our Qi, our Life Force Energy, nourished and flowing as we move with the growing light and warmth of Spring. Think Seasons...of the year...of our lives... We are part of Nature. Thousands of years ago, before MRIs, PET scans, blood work, etc., Nature provided observations, questions, challenges, and answers. We're so lucky now, to have "Western Medicine" and "Eastern Medicine" to inform and guide us. Join me in classes to learn more about how we can protect and nourish our Liver Organ System as each day: - Focused, deep gentle breathing - Flowing movements to keep our Kidney Qi moving - Healing sounds and colors (my personal favorite!) - The connection of the Liver Organ System with the other Organ Systems.
Please join me: In 45 healing minutes (or less), thru focused breathing, gentle, easy to learn movements, and healing sounds and colors we'll be moving and cultivating our Qi - our life force energy. We can learn to shake off our stress, cultivate awareness, and transform fears into trust, a sense of calmness, and the ability to be centered in the present moment with open minds and open hearts. Please know - Qi Gong can be done seated, standing, in wheelchairs or even on a bed. All movements can be modified, adjusted or even imagined to meet your needs. Please consult with your medical professional, if you have any concerns at all. ---------------------If you are interested in bringing the many benefits of Qi Gong and/or Health Coaching to your friends, families, and participants and staff in a non-profit or for-profit organization, please contact me. From the bottom of my heart, I believe that the easy breathing techniques, simple "movements" , and peace-filled mindset of Qi Gong can help support the health, healing, and well-being of each of us, according to our individual needs.
