We all would like to have less stress in our lives. It is good to stop and reflect on how our lives would improve if we had less stress. Make a list of the reasons for wanting less stress. This list will be what motivates us to actually implement some changes and take action to reduce stress and to cope better with it.
For example, when I have less stress, I will have more energy. With more energy, I will:- * spend more time playing with the kids * improve efficiencies at work |

What is Qi Gong and how can help with stress?
Often find ourselves overworked, stressed and fatigued. One of our favourite ways to help manage stress and improve our energy is to have a daily practice of Qi Gong.
Qi Gong is a ‘moving mediation’ practice that is over 5000+ years old. The movements (like Tai Chi) are soft yet powerful, working the breath and working the energy meridian channels. There is mindfulness in the movements whilst being in a state of relaxation. |

We’ve talked around this topic for quite some time but today
let’s get down to it. In Chinese
Medicine it was a truth that your body health is a reflection of your
thinking.
Modern science tells us:
·
Our thought patterns influence our health ·
Pain affects our psychology ·
Our emotional health is part of our health as a
whole
So why don’t we just relax and enjoy good health in the
lovely surrounds of the Glasshouse Mountains, Landsborough Mooloolah and
Beerwah? |

5 Tips for Starting a Winter Day
Well. Winter is here and
I’ll not go on about the cold. Needless
to say warming, nourishing foods are the go.
Rest is recommended. Chinese
Medicine says wearing a singlet (camisole for the feminine fashionistas) will
help to keep your kidneys warm and it’s what my Mum always said so it must be
true.
But what about the emotional aspects of Winter? Shorter days, less warmth and less sunlight
can create a challenging situation…. |

This August, we are reminding ourselves of all that we are grateful for and all the abundance we have.
With this in mind..... - have dreams, know what your burning desires are,
- plan (and write the plan down!) and take action
- believe in your dreams, have faith in them and your abilities and know that there is enough abundance to go around
- be ready to receive and recognising the opportunities (even those that follow on from sad or tragic circumstances)
- stay focused, be resilient, stick with it and achieve your goal.

Fearless.. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) provides interesting insights into emotions.
A little background..
TCM identifies emotions as very real energies that have a place in the human body and are capable of causing a variety of physical and mental conditions when out of balance.
This might seem quite at odds with the Western science view of emotions but recent studies have shown that the brain doesn't have a monopoly on memory and emotions - other organs do have the capability to "remember" and "feel". |

In Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners long ago observed the relationship between the seasons and the conditions they would see in clients. This observation evolved into a system of advice for the seasons to support the specific needs associated with that season.
Autumn in Traditional Chinese Medicine is related to the energy of the Lungs and Large Intestine.
How do you know if there is something going on with your Lungs and Large Intestine energy?
- The lungs and the large intestine are a major pathway of elimination and related to a healthy immune system.

Well. Spring is all around us and it's often at this time that we think about making changes in our life. Diets, additional exercise, reorganising our homes: change can bring up interesting thoughts and emotions.
Change is an interesting concept and a great example of the experience of life being a product of our interpretation. For example some people experience changing where they live as an exciting new beginning whilst others (in the same family even) experience the same change as very unpleasant. |
