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.
