A note from my teacher, Master Zhongxian Wu

-
According to ancient Chinese cosmology, this autumn season will start on August 7th.
This nature pattern indicates that the hot weather of the summer will shift to cooling weather soon after August 7th. In late August and September, there will be some big storms that will bring the cold energy to the nature.
Please keep yourself warm and continue your Qigong practice to strengthen your kidney and heart to balance yourself with this natural energy influence during the autumn season, especially in September and October.

Also, the plant can absorb the energy from the computer. So the plant helps protect you, which is important anytime, especially in the spring because that is liver time – and your liver needs the energy.

From a cosmological perspective, the DingYou year will be an uneasy and challenging year on many levels, with much of the world experiencing unseasonal climate conditions. Given the stormy global political landscape lately, I am sure that this news comes as no big surprise.  The current state of affairs has helped me broaden my understanding of the Daoist concept of Tian Ren He Yi (天人合一) , the union of human beings and Nature. Perhaps the ways of humans and nature are mirrors of each other more than we care to believe? Conflicts between Fire and Metal There are inherent conflicts between Ding (Fire) and You (Metal) that will lead many of us to experience heart-break and grief this year. In your clinical practice, expect to...
