On dangerously hot days like today (over 100°F in Charlotte), TCM emphasizes prevention through harmonizing internal and external heat, preserving fluids, and avoiding excess yang activity

Breathe in- smiles
Breathe out-letting go

Dampness! What is that in your health?

Heart (Fire) – Excessive Joy & Agitation
- Overstimulation scatters Heart Qi, causing palpitations, restlessness, and insomnia
- Shock can suddenly disrupt Shen (spirit), leading to anxiety and poor focus.

Why so many people these days are having anxiety problems???

Love what I do…

Visualize 😇

Stillness to Refine Shen
Summer invites both movement and stillness. The Heart thrives when calm yet aware. Visualize a soft red light or a lotus blooming in the chest to nourish Shen and open the Heart to peace.

❤️ Heart Organ Massage
Place one hand over the other on your chest. With soft, natural breaths, move the hands in gentle circles, keeping contact with the Heart. Rotate both directions, 12–24 times. Finish by resting hands on the Lower Dantian to settle energy.

Wisdom in nature

#Spring is here, and the #WoodElement is in effect. Now is the time to focus on cleansing, bringing attention to
self-awareness, and keeping an extra eye on our Liver & Gallbladder so our emotions stay in check! 🌷

William James, the philosopher and psychologist, observed that humans tend to live too far within their limitations—most people do not tap into full potential, living within self-imposed constraints, often unaware of the vast reserves of energy, resilience, and creativity that lie dormant within us.

Certain practices enhance regeneration, such as fasting (autophagy), sleep, and exposure to nature.

Creativity produces the vital brain impulses that stimulate the pituitary gland, triggering effects on the pineal gland and the whole of endocrine system -chemistry of the will to live?
