Summer Qi Chats | Week 6
How clear is your mind’s jar?
This week we should discuss what clarity of mind is and now we can use it to age better.
Right runs SLOW and wrong runs FAST
My father would always say that and in noting how we all are behaving in our health and activities, I’d say we need to just slow down. The “Health and Wellness” industry on this speed train to slowing our aging process down with exercise, supplements, dietary measures that keeps us on the constant prowl for ‘the next best thing’. But it’s going to be your job to IGNORE the chaos of these run away train called the ‘wellness’ industry - which by the way - is expected to reach over $8,057.7 billion by 2030.
Yikes.
Learning from Chinese Medicine, when you’re stick or injury or aging - the best thing you can do is to slow down!
SLOW DOWN
The goal of posting is to settle the mind and body. What I’ve come to learn through posting is we are emotional human being and our bodies ability is often controlled by our feelings. Think of the times when you’ve been too scared, too nervous, too anxious to do something active and easily enough, your body proves to you that you shouldn’t/can’t. Part of our emotions are safety guards from the brain. Another part of our emotions are ability restrictions that we need to overcome.
For many of us, the first moment of pain and we think ‘NOPE!’ but giving yourself a cognitive moment to analyze the situation, can you calm that initial emotion and realize that the body is safe, you’re just expending energy differently or explore new movement. That’s the goal of posting is to settle the emotions and learn how to circulate your energy away from ATP to Qi THEN your body won’t feel like it’s expending energy and not exploring new movement but rather settling into a clarity of the the mind and body.
Neuro-Qi Tip o’the day!
Slow down to age better
Ask yourself if you’re moving too fast?
Set aside a weekly practice. Even for 5 minutes to clear the mind and let the ‘dust settle’
