The Most Powerful Day of the Year

Friday, June 22nd, 2012
Share

The summer Solstice happened a few
days ago, the longest day of the year.
There is now an abundant amount of energy
and lots of sunshine!


It’s in the nineties in South Florida
and that’s why I start my training at
5:30 in the morning. It’s still cool at
that time and there is a nice breeze
coming from the ocean. Summer is about
growth, creativity, expansion and staying active.


This is the time when our bodies go
through maximum activities, so expect
lots of heat inside and out.
To stay healthy this summer, keep your
priorities in maintaining your heart, mind
and spirit in top shape, which are all part
of the fire element.

If the heart is in harmony, the taste buds in
our tongue work efficiently. It’s important to
have tongue cleaning as part of your hygiene
regiment, if you aren’t doing tongue scraping
start today.

You may be asking yourself what’s
The Purpose of Tongue Cleaning?

By removing the soft plaque from the tongue
you are
 removing most of the bacteria and other
garbage which is the primary source of bad breath,
hard plaque (tartar) and tooth decay. You can pick
up a tongue scraper at the health
 food store or a
spoon will work just fine.

“The supernatural forces of summer create heat
in the Heavens and fire on Earth; they create the
heart and the pulse within the body, the red color,
the tongue, and the ability to express laughter.
They create the bitter flavor and the emotions of
happiness and joy.”

THE YELLOW EMPEROR’S CLASSIC OF INTERNAL MEDICINE


The Summer Solstice is when the sun reaches
its highest point, the day with the greatest
number of daylight hours
 and the shortest
night of the year. Soon after, the days will
get shorter.

In Chinese medicine, summer is associated
with the Fire element and with heat.
The heart is the fire element of the body
and if there is too much heat in the heart,
the heat will rise and eventually disrupt the mind.
To have a balanced mind, do more Yin type
exercises
 like the Qi Gong Yin Set.

These exercises will keep you cool all
summer and benefit the heart.

When the change of the season happens,
especially during
 the winter and summer
solstice, this is an opportunity to reset
your internal clock. The summer solstice is
called the
 Midsummer because it’s around the
middle of the growing season, a period of
abundant growth. So wake up early and seek
the sun for nourishment to thrive just as
the plants and trees do.

I’m staying quite busy these days, working,
writing and training every day early morning.
I’ll have some more exciting programs in the
next 30 days, keep an eye out for them.

The Best is Yet to Come

Friday, October 28th, 2011
Share

Did you know that originally the days
were named after the planets in the night sky?

In Chinese Medicine most of the planets
are also related to the 5 elements and you
can plan your days according to the planets
to give you the maximum insight and personal power.

Monday is ruled by The Moon.
Many of the lunar Goddesses,
like Hecate and Cerridwen are also associated with
magic and the intuitive nature of women. The moon
represents the emotional side of our existence. It is
unconscious, introverted, negative,
and female side of yourself.

Tuesday is ruled by the Fire element
which is the planet Mars.
It’s considered independent and quick,
and when activated, nothing stops it.

Wednesday is ruled by the planet
Mercury -the God of Games, Business, and
Story Telling. Mercury rules communications,
travel, the intellectual part of your personality,
and the functioning of the mind.

Thursday is ruled by The Planet Jupiter which
represents expansion and spiritual growth, –
The Wood Elements. Thursday is named after
THOR, the strongest of all the gods, a protector
of mankind since with his magic hammer; he fought
the battles of the good gods and mankind against the evil giants.

Friday is the metal element and ruled by Venus.
Venus is all about fertility, love and pleasure.
Venus is the goddess of Love, Beauty and a metaphor
for sexual love. Venus shows the ability of relating
to others, and the nature of the desire.
Venus can indicate the type of people we are
attracted to, or the nature of our sense of attraction.
It rules close partnerships and also marriages.

Saturday is ruled by the planet Saturn and the
Earth Element is linked to your Karma. Saturn deepens
feelings of isolation, sadness, and depression.
Once the dark side of Saturn is recognized; its bright
side can be brought into view and enhanced. Saturn is
the symbol for Father Time, for he brought all things to
an end that have a beginning. Saturn’s domain is patience,
stability, maturity and realism. Saturn affects us by
delaying rewards until they are earned.

Sunday: The name comes from the Latin dies solis,
meaning “Sun’s day:” The Sun is about Energy- the god
of gift and sight. The sun represents your will or life force.
It is the conscious, extroverted, positive,
male side of yourself.

I like to cross train and I often break up my routines.
Doing something different each day of the week
It keeps my training exciting and can be a
lot more fun as well as an incentive to ‘keep on keeping on.’
Monday and Friday I put more emphasis on Yin
practices as it relates to the moon and Venus.

Tuesday is a much more vigorous workout because
it’s a Mars day and there is a lot of raw Yang energy.

Wednesday I spend more time practicing and studying
as communications are ruled by Mercury and it’s the time
for travel studying, learning or teaching.
This is the day that I do my ‘out of the office stuff.’

Thursday is ruled by Jupiter and this is my day for
expansion and meditation of all internal practices.

Saturday is my day for discipline’s holding my Qi Gong
stances as well as lots of reading and studying.

Sunday is full of energy as it’s ruled by the Sun and although
it is typically a day of rest in the western world, I do most
of my aerobic exercises on Sunday to recharge my heart.

This is a good way to schedule your week and get
the maximum practice.
One of the reasons behind the creation of the
Recharging Qi Gong set
http://www.rechargingqigong.com/recharging-qi-gong.html
is that it encompasses all of
the planetary aspects of a great workout.

Order it now and have a great week every week!

I wish you the best in your Health,
Wealth and Happiness

Build Strong Yin Qi All Summer

Thursday, June 16th, 2011
Share

The first day of summer
is just about here!

The Summer Solstice
This is the longest day of the year.
Summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere
on June 21, 2011, at 1:16 p.m.

The word solstice comes from the
Latin words for “SUN” & “TO STOP,”
as the Sun appears to stop in the sky.

This is one of the most important days
of the year for Energy Work.

Like Meditation,Qi Gong and Yoga practices,
the Energy is at its highest.

In fact, if you are thinking of getting an
Acupuncture treatment, a Medical Qi Gong
treatment or any kind of Energy Work,
the Summer and Winter Solstices
(June 21 and December 21)
are the strongest days to move the Qi.

My calendar gets totally booked up a few
days before the solstice,the day of the solstice
and the week after. It seems like everyone who
knows anything about Energy work is at my office that
week to get a treatment and for good reason a treatment
done at the Solstice can last up to three months.

The six weeks leading up to and directly
after the summer solstice is ruled by the
Fire element. This is the season for a lot of fun.
The Fire Element relates to communication
and community. It’s the time when people
travel, have family reunions, plan June
weddings and spend lots of time outside
having FUN.

The Qi is moving better than
ever and we usually feel great.

As for diet:
It’s better to eat light, more fruits and
vegetables, to keep the body from over heating.
and drink lots of H2O

My Qi Gong practices are focused more on the
Yin element,as the days get hotter.
This helps to cool the body down and quit
the mind.
In China, the summer solstice was observed
by a ceremony to celebrate the earth, femininity,
and the “Yin” forces.

I’ll increase my practice of Flying Crane Qi Gong
for the next few months to build more Yin and stay cool
If you don’t know this style get this
one today it’s great.

http://rechargingqigong.com/flying-crane-qi-gong.html

I am spending more time on the automatic move
and the Yin set from the Recharging Qi Gong Program

http://www.rechargingqigong.com/recharging-qi-gong.html

They both increase the Yin quality and
keep the heart in balance, the mind
calm and the body cool.

I wish you the best in your Health,
Wealth and Happiness

Are you Ripe and Juicy

Saturday, June 21st, 2008
Share
Are you Ripe and Juicy OR Rumpled like an old Raisin
 
Today I spent most of the day here in Miami in intensive
Medical Qi Gong Practice instead of outside enjoying this extra
long day.
In case you missed it Today is the Summer Solstice.
The longest dayof the year.
 
In the Chinese Healing traditions today is a very special day
and when the Fire element is most prominent.
 
With the Fire element comes all the activity and growth of
Summer but it also can bring hazard in the form of overheating.
When the body overheats the internal organs become stressed and
the aging process speeds up.
 
The heat of summer can build up in the Heart and this can
disrupt the sleep with unfocused thoughts and mind chatter.
Getting a good nights sleep in Summer is especially important
during these shorter nights. We often stay up later in summer
to enjoy the long nights but forget we need sleep too.
It’s a shame too because Summer is when we are actually able to
regain some of our vital energy and get younger, riper, and
more juicy. Instead most Americans do all the wrong things and
age even faster in the summer.
 
There’s three things you can do to make sure you do get younger
this season instead of overheat, burn out, and dry up like a
raisin.
NUMBER 1 – Eat cooling foods. When I say cooling foods I’m not
talking about ice cream or cold beer, I’m talking about those
foods that are identified by the science of Chinese Medicine to
cool down your insides.
I list these in my free newsletter going out next week in the
mail.
Yes the post office 
 
So if you want it send me your mailing address, not your email
address, and I will mail you this Summer’s edition of Dr. Wu’s
News. It’s the best edition I’ve put out so far and has a ton
of awesome info in it including how to prepare some of the most
delicious cooling foods.
 
NUMBER 2 – Exercise correctly for summer. Summer is not the
season to be out beating your feet on the hot pavement. You
don’t need to do that in Summer. Summer is the time to pump up
the connection between the inner and out energy.
Build speed and explosive power in the Summer.
 
Qi Gong is the best way to do this but not just any Qi Gong.
You need to move the internal winds in the summer and keep the
body cool. The Recharging Qi Gong is by far the best system of
Qi Gong because it’s for all seasons. If you have the
Recharging Qi Gong pay special attention to the Yin set in the
back of the manual and practice the posture for the heart for
five minutes a day.
If you don’t have the Recharging Qi Gong, now you know a little
more about why this composition of my life’s work is so
important and unlike any other Qi Gong.
Maybe you missed it so here it is again
http://rechargingqigong.com
 
When you finally get this manual in your hands you will
recognize immediately that I held nothing back. Just flipping
through it the exercises will jump out at you and you won’t be
able to resist trying them. They Work and you will feel more
power immediately.
 
The ONLY place you can get it is here ->
http://rechargingqigong.com
not amazon or some other place and you NEVER will. These
teachings are dear to me and I give them out only as I see fit.
 
NUMBER 3 – Cool down the Spirit. Some meditation is designed to
heat up the channels and chakras and that can have a beneficial
effect but you need to be able to flush out the energy too or
it will drive you crazy and disrupt your sleep.
The key is to discharge all of the negative energy. 
 
The Tension Release exercise is really the key. Do this every
night to clear the body before sleep and you will wake up
refreshed, vitalized and best of all Happy. This exercise has a
side effect of happy dreams, sounds funny I know but it’s true.
The Tension Release Exercise is only available as a bonus gift
that I give with the Recharging Qi Gong.
Those of you in the Qi Gong Inner Circle have a video of this.
 
So to recap:
1– Eat cooling foods
2– Exercise for summer
3– Cool the spirit
 
The maximum benefit of summer will really be in how well your
Qi Gong practice is. You get that down and everything else will
catch up.
Happy Solstice!
