We have definitely transitioned to the fall season, the season of the lungs and the large intestines. In the lungs the Qi of Heaven (air) joins with the Qi of earth (nutrition) forming the Qi that vitalizes human life. The lungs govern the relationship between the inside and outside. The strength of the lungs is in boundaries; clearly defined rules to keep things moving because the lungs are constantly changing, flowing in and out, not rigid.

If the lungs are weak our physical and emotional protection is reduced, making us vulnerable to infectious diseases as well as to the negative thoughts and feelings of other people.

Here’s a tip to stimulate your lung points during this season: Stimulate the lung points on the body by finding the hollow at the end of the collar bone by the shoulder and go about an inch down and massage. You may find the point to be tender and that’s OK. Be sure to do it on both sides of the body, by each shoulder.

QIGONG, pronounced “chee gung,” means literally the skill (gong) of regulating life energy (qi) to improve health. Through qigong practice, we can take better control of our health. Practicing qigong may improve fitness, reduce anxiety and depression, lower blood pressure, relieve chronic pain, strengthen the immune and respiratory systems, and improve overall well-being.

QIGONG and TAI CHI CLASSES OFFERED:
1-ONLINE on MONDAYS (Zoom) at 6pm and THURSDAYS at 5:30pm

Back from teaching Tai Chi and Qigong at Omega and listening to Pema Chodron’s last online retreat there. In it, Tim Olmsted quoted the great Irish poet, John O’Donohue, “There is a place in you where you have never been wounded, where there is still a sureness in you, where there is a seamlessness in you and where there is a confidence and tranquility in you. I think the intention of prayer, (meditation) spirituality and love is now and again to visit that inner sanctuary.”
What a beautiful way to describe prayer, meditation and love. To me, the purpose of meditation is to allow ourselves to come home again to that place he describes. I spent a lot of time meditating in the Omega sanctuary, which is a very special edifice and point in space. In this summer season, the most active and Yang season of the year, I like to find time to sit or stand still. We do this in my classes which are now outside as well as on Zoom and I do this daily. I find some form of practice is helpful in the times we live in.

I am leaving to teach Tai Chi and Qigong at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. If you are taking a program there, my classes are free! Lots of great speakers and programs in a beautiful setting. Pema Chodron’s final workshop is still available on demand as an online program. Highly recommend it.
