February Self-Healing Tips

Written by Julie Festa, L.Ac.

February is one day longer this year. That means, other than that the Summer Olympics happen and that we vote for President in November, that we have one extra day to practice our February self-healing. It also means that winter is 1 day longer this year. Extra time to go inward. Extra time to meditate. Extra time to cultivate the energy of the Kidneys.

This month's tai chi tip is not about a specific movement but rather a concept familiar to us all. What is the difference between a master and his/her student? Time, cultivation, endurance, insight. How do these attributes arise? Patience, repetition and persistence. Uh oh, did I say repetition? Yes... repetition IS the mother of insight.
