Celebrating Winter solstice

Dear Test,

“(In winter) people should retire early at
night and rise late in the morning
and they should wait for the rising of the sun.”
-NEI CHING

Celebrating Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice has been celebrated in culture
all over the world for over thousands of years.
This start of the solar year is a celebration
of Light and the rebirth of the Sun.

This year, Thursday, December 22nd as the
sun enters Capricorn marks the Winter Solstice-
the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere
and summer in the Southern Hemisphere and
the day of the longest night.

The term solstice means “sun stands still”;
it appears to remain in one place north or
south of the equator from one day to the next.

This is one of the strongest days of the year
to make changes in our lives.
There will be more and more light from then on.

As we shift in the seasons we also have a great
shift in our body and mind.
We will be open to both good and bad energies.

During the winter, the yin principle dominates
our bodies, as well as the climate.

The earth is in her resting and quiet season,
so like nature, it’s a good time to rest your self.
Reflect and be aware of your senses, conserve your
energy, seek inner warmth and spend more time at
home with family and friends.

It’s a time to nourish the body, relax, quiet the
body down, and sleep more.
It’s not a very good time to do have exercises
because you might burn yourself out,
but you still have to stay active in order to
keep your body warm and the energy moving.

Winter is more an inward and sensitive time.
As the cold climate chill you to your bones,
seek deeper within yourself. Like the earth,
we all have our cycles.
Many of us have cycles in which held-in
emotions are released,like the winter snows.
With awareness and expression of these feelings,
you will be able to open to good energies.
Staying healthy is also the key this winter season.

The Flu Season is also upon us at this time!
Why is it that some of us catch several colds
a year?
The answer lies in our immune system.
If our immune systems are weakened,
we will have a tendency to get sick more often.
In the winter months this seems to happen more
because of STRESS, POOR DIET, CHANGE IN WEATHER
and just getting RUN DOWN.
The best treatment for colds and the flu is to
prevent them from occurring in the first place by
keeping your immune system strong.

Now is the time to come in to boost your
immune system. Energy boosting treatments to
prevent the flu and cold will help keep you
healthy throughout the season.
This alternative flu and cold prevention system
is safe & effective for all ages.
Even if you have a cold now it will speed
up your recovery by days.
Schedule an appointment today to stay healthy this winter.

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

Build Strong Yin Qi All Summer

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

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.

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,

The Mango Lady and the Qi Gong Doctor

Hatcher Mangos

Hatcher Mangos

Early Saturday morning around 6:30 , I received a distress call from Mairlynn,  the Mango lady.
I usually don’t get a call from her this early in the growing season.
She is the owner of Hatcher Hill Mango Farm. www.hatchermangohill.com.
It’s a small farm about 3+ acres large with more mangoes than I’ve ever seen.
They are all organically grown, not to mention are the biggest and best darn
mangoes I have ever tasted.

I usually visit the 60 year old farm a few times each season to feast on the mangoes.
Those farmers, in general, are really hard workers – picking, packing and shipping
mangoes is a back breaking job.
In fact, that’s how I became friends with the Hatchers.

It was about 14 years ago when I discovered Hatcher Hill Mango farm.
I was driving up to see my parents and I saw the sign, “Organic Mangoes for sale.”
I drove up the dirt road to the farm, when I got the top of the hill,
I couldn’t believe my eyes, there were tables of the largest mangoes I’ve ever seen.
Man this was a real find, “I love mangoes.”

I jumped out of the car and as I was picking out the mangoes that I wanted,
I heard the Mango Lady say. “My back is really sore.” I told her I could fix that and
within seconds,
I was in the farm house in seconds putting acupuncture needles in the mango lady’s
back and doing Medical Qi Gong.  We’ve been friends ever since.

But, let’s get back to the distress call.
The Mango Lady called and said she could hardly walk, that’s always bad but just
before the mangoes ripen, it’s a really BIG problem.
She said it all hit the fan at the same time and she needed some help.
I got into the “Chi-mobile” and drove up to the farm in Boynton Beach.

It’s true, STRESS can cause more health problems that lifting heavy boxes
of mangoes all day or any physical work.
So, I had a long chat with the Mango Lady about stress
and what it does to people.

Stress is the # 1 killer in the USA – causing more heart problems, cancers,
mental and emotional problems than anything else.

We went over exercises and relaxation techniques together that are in my
“Turn Stress into Power Program.”
We worked for about half an hour on the meditations and the internal exercises,
to turn those stresses around and use them to her advantage.

Long story short, by the time I left Hatcher Hill, she was feeling 100% better!
So why not turn your personal stress into power too?  It’s as easy as one, two – FREE!

Get your personal copy of  the “Turn Stress Into Power” book and DVD and
get on the free conference call, also you will
receive two free tickets to the workshop -  “completely FREE with purchase”.

Alert Stillness

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007
Share

Last night I came home after sundown and the whole house was completely dark. Instead of turning on the lights I lit a candle. I never do this sort of thing but the house seemed so quiet and peaceful I wanted to just sit.

I spent the majority of the night in contemplative meditation.

We are in the Winter Solstice and it is an excellent time to take time to be quiet and reflect on the past year.

I recommend doing this for yourself as a matter of personal care.

With all the crazy energy around the holidays and year-end you want to make sure that you cool-out and recollect yourself before you burn-out.

Once you do I think you will find that the rush of the holidays and year-end quiets down and you can refocus on those things that are most important.

In Chinese medicine Winter is associated with the element Water.

Water energy has the attributes of:

  • Cold
  • Damp
  • Quiet
  • Stillness
  • Calmness
  • Smoothness
  • Listening
  • The Kidney organ and meridian

This energy is available in the atmosphere throughout the winter. Just slow down, sit quietly in a natural place and pull in the atmosphere.

Winter Water energy is also associated with a special type of Awareness that, from Chinese to English, best translates as Alert Stillness.

In the Chinese Medicine system we use animal associations to signify these types of energy, and as such, the animal for the water element and organ of the Kidney is the Deer.

250px-Red_deer.jpg

The Deer is chosen because it is a master of Alert Stillness.

When you think of a deer you think of an animal that is impossible to sneak up on. The slightest snap of a twig and the thing has disappeared.

This is not the same type of power of a Tiger or a Dragon but it is a type of power that completes us.

In the Ba Gua system of Martial Arts it takes a whole circle of animals to become a Master.

We cannot always Push, Push, Push, sometimes we need to sit, take inventory, and listen to the atmosphere. This is the power in the symbol of the deer and that is the power of this time of year.

So take advantage of this time of solstice when this energy is most powerful and abundant, you will not be able to tap into this energy so easily in other seasons.

Winter, not just the New Year, is the best time to set new plans and goals into action.

Take inventory of what is happening around you.

Upon deep consideration you may see more then before.

Clarity is not achieved when you are rushing or being hasty.

Opening is found in reflection.

Wishing you the best in Health, Wealth and Happiness,

Dr. Wu Dhi
