Today I spent most of the day here in Miami; in an Intensive Medical Qi Gong Practice, instead of enjoying this extra long day on the Beach.
In case you missed it, Today is the Summer Solstice!
It’s the Longest day of the Year! That’s if you live in the Northern Hemisphere!
In the Chinese Healing Traditions, today is a very Special Day and it’s 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 disturb the Fire Element, affecting the Heart. This can Cause Sleep Problems and Unfocused Thoughts, Anxiety, as well as Mind Chatter.
Getting a good night’s sleep in the summer is especially important. We often stay up later in summer, to enjoy the long nights; but forget we need sleep too.
It’s a shame, 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 are (3) Three things you can do to make sure you do get younger this season; instead of overheating, burning out and drying 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.
NUMBER 2 – Exercise Correctly for Summer. Summer is NOT the season to be out beating your feet on the hot pavement. Summer is the time to pump up the connection between the Inner and Outer Energy.
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, Re-Vitalized and best of all Happy! This exercise has Good Side Effects of Happy Dreams, sounds funny, 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.
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 (5) Five minutes a day.
If you have the Recharging Qi Gong, 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: https://rechargingqigong.com/products/recharging-qi-gong/
When you finally get this manual in your hands you will recognize immediately that I hold 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 https://rechargingqigong.com/products/recharging-qi-gong/
Not Amazon or some other place, and you NEVER will find it there. These teachings are dear to me, and I give them out only as I see fit.
To recap:
1– Eat Cooling Foods – Plums, Pears, Sweet Potatoes …. to name a few.
2– Exercise for Summer – Practice Qi Gong.
3– Cool the Spirit – Meditation.
The maximum benefit of Summer will really be in how well your Qi Gong Practice is.
Get that down and everything else will catch up!
Happy Solstice!
I wish you the Best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness!
