When we’re low on energy or not feeling great, it’s easy to get caught up in searching far and wide for answers. We’ll find something, then immediately discard it because we aren’t seeing results.
The funny thing is that we are often actually making changes, despite thinking we’re not.
Healing is not a linear process. We don’t go from A to B to C and so on. Instead, we may go from A to X and back to B, moving all over the place. It may not make sense, but over time, we make micro-changes that come back to us in the here and now.
We create a ripple in our healing timelines, slowly changing the patterns (many we’re not aware we have) that cause us pain and discomfort.
Qi gong is a multidimensional mind-body meditative movement that works in harmony with this principle. By slowly performing the movements, we build, reprogram, and change our past, present, and future.
Since this is how the universe functions, qi gong is very effective because it follows the same rhythm. In this way, the results are deeper, affecting the deeper layers and aspects of ourselves that need healing.
Pretty amazing, right?

Healthy Tips for Spring
Spring is just around the corner for those of us in the northern hemisphere!
The Spring is a time of renewal, when the energy that has been resting and collecting during winter, has built up the momentum to literally spring forth. Dormant plants and animals begin to emerge, as energy moves from a contracted state to a more expansive one.
Our bodies follow this pattern as well. The Spring is ruled by the Wood Element which governs the Liver.
The Wood of the Liver is rising and expanding along with the plants outside. This can overstimulate the Liver causing health challenges such as:
* Irritability and anger
* Headaches and migraines
* Rashes and skin eruptions
* Depression
* Digestive issues (bloating, indigestion, heartburn)
* Worsening of PMS or female health issues
* Insomnia
A few tips for keeping your Liver happy!
1. The Wood Element is represented by the color green, so we want to eat green foods such as leafy greens, asparagus, broccoli, parsley, sprouts, etc. Sour foods are the flavor of the Wood element, so we also want to incorporate sour foods into the diet such as vinegar, pickles, and sauerkraut.
2. Tap and brush the upper right abdomen. This is the location of the Liver!! Tapping helps to free stuck energy while brushing helps to move the energy. Try this when you’re feeling irritable or angry.
3. Do some spring cleaning and let go of what no longer serves. Since this is the season of renewal, it is a time for taking in the new and releasing the old.
4. Try using lavender, peppermint, or citrus essential oils. Lavender resonates with the wood element, so try putting some on your hands while tapping the liver. Peppermint and citrus oils are uplifting and help combat stagnation. Try using these when you feel stuck, heavy, or tired.
