I see quite a few Yogi’s and Yogini’s in my practice. Some come in to be able to push beyond their own limitations, and others to recover from twisted muscles.
Last week, one of my regular Yogis came into the office that practices yoga about 30 hours a week. You’d think that doing yoga is his full-time job. He’s a bit excessive with a compulsive, behavior pattern.
Whether you know it or not, the body needs rest as much as it needs exercise. If you push yourself to the limits and don’t rest – guess what. You’ll be going backwards in your practice and will actually be injuring your body causing irreversible tendon and joint pain.
My Yogi patient needed a nap to balance out his body, mind and spirit before he started to make himself older, weaker and most likely depressed. Even though the great teachings preach moderation, it really doesn’t mean anything until you can actually figure out what moderation is.
In Chinese medicine, we’re always striving to get the body to the point where it’s not too hot, not too cold, not too wet and not too dry. The perfect environment for people is warm and moist. That’s one of the reasons I live in Florida.
But when we’re trying to balance our lives and become successful, we need to harmonize the nine different domains:
- Career
- Relationships
- Family
- Finances
- Spirit
- Support system
- Projects
- Physical health
- Knowledge
It may not sound like a Yogi practice, but it really is. This formula gives you a map to work with that brings every part of your existence back to balance. Although we all know that the map isn’t the territory, this formula gives you the direction needed to be successful in all aspects of life.
This ancient method has worked to bring balance to hundreds of thousands people throughout the ages. It’s based on the study of Feng Shui, a Chinese philosophical system of harmonizing human existence with the surrounding environment.
A few years ago, I taught this formula in a series of workshops to a group of psychologists and qigong students. Everyone received amazing results. The workshop was recorded and edited into a few DVDs. Combined with my notes, this is an increasable teaching known as the Magic Square Workshop.
It’s better to travel life with a map. This program will guide you to your success faster than lighting. http://rechargingqigong.com/magic-square-workshop.html
