December Self-Healing Tips

Written by By Julie de Lagarde, L.Ac.

This month instead of giving you the usual one point and one food for your tcm health tips, I want to try something different.  Consider this, if you will, as an end of the year Winter Holiday treat.  Today I am going to offer an even more accessible, even more readily available, and even deeper duet of health advice that comes from our own practice here at InFocus, and from my years of training with Master Zi and NIsha.  I will offer you one piece from the tai chi canon of knowledge, and one piece from the yoga practice, and I will explain why these are so beneficial this season, this month, for you.   

FIND YOUR SPIRIT

Written by Peter Robinson 

Your mind will fail you.  At some point it will cry out demanding for failure.

Your body will fail you.  At some point, it will cry out demanding for release. 

When mind and body fail you, there is only one thing which can make you persevere:  your spirit.   The spirit will hold you up when all else fails.  And so the wise man welcomes adversity, for in adversity, there is the opportunity to identify and recognize the spirit. 

Adversity is the great mill, the crucible, that which separates.  When the mind and body are gone, look to what is left.  And you will find your greatest of treasures.
