Summer Qi Chats | Week 12
What have we been up to this summer?
This week we discuss how and why we’ve gathered Yang Qi to nourish our Fire energy.
You’re so mature!
The Fire Phase, the summer element of the season, symbolized maturity. We grew from the vulnerable Yang Qi from Spring into this bursting Yang Summer energy. Early summer was filled with much heated activity due to the Yang Qi’s influence but after the solstice, the Yang Qi wanes and we can feel a sense of completion. We’ve grown, we’ve accomplished, we’re ready to enjoy!
SEAL IT UP!
It’s time to begin taking the foot off the gas (no need to punch the breaks!) because we can sense that it’s okay to slow down. We’ve gathered the Yang Qi that will nourish the Heart, Liver, Lungs and Kidneys for the following seasons. So by slowing down we don’t waste or expend our energy. This Yang Qi is going into our ‘savings’ account.
So how do we secure this precious Qi in our savings account? We seal the deal with a simple Qigong sequence that you can perform sometime this week!
Neuro-Qi Tip o’the day!
Seal + Be Done
First, lighten your schedule so you’re not overwhelmed with activities and social events
Second, watch the video to learn the simple “Sealing the Qi” movement that you can perform this week (just need to do it once after your Qigong practice!)
Keep cool and try not to get over heated, this will tax the Heart
