The original Roman calendar only had 10 months and the year began in March.

That’s why September comes from the Latin septem (seven), October from octo (eight), November from novem (nine) and December from decem (ten).

Most people think July and August were added later and pushed the calendar forward, but that’s actually a myth.

January and February were added centuries before Julius Caesar. This shifted September, October, November and December from months 7–10 to months 9–12, but their names were never changed.

The months we now call July and August already existed as Quintilis and Sextilis. They were simply renamed in honour of Julius Caesar and Augustus.

So every time you look at a calendar, you’re actually looking at a 2,000-year-old clue to how the Romans once measured time.

Qigong is a pretty much daily practice I’ve doing for many many years. It’s one of the most valuable health protocols in my arsenal.

Endorphins are pain killers release after exercise induced damaged, therefore the intensity needs to be sufficient to produce it.

This might or might not be the reason you aren’t feeling it.

Mum, if you are watching and it wasn’t clear…. I don’t have any tattoos but if I did (which I won’t…promise) then this might be it.

Box breathing isn’t something I personally use within Qigong practice.

In many Qigong systems, we either allow the movement and energy work to regulate the breath naturally, or, when teaching beginners, we may initially synchronise the breath with the movements. Some traditions also utilise Daoist (reverse) breathing, embryonic breathing, or coordinate the breath with practices such as the Microcosmic Orbit.

Over time, however, the breath is often allowed to become more natural and spontaneous rather than tightly controlled.

Box breathing takes a different approach. It uses a structured pattern where each phase of the breath is deliberately timed and regulated. This can help calm a busy mind, improve focus, and create a state of calm alertness.

For that reason, I tend to see box breathing as a more active form of breath regulation than the softer, more natural breathing often cultivated in Qigong, meditation, and Zhan Zhuang. Different tools, different goals.

If you’d like to understand how different breathing methods can be used to increase alertness, improve focus, deepen relaxation, or support recovery, DM me “BREATH”.
