Tonight, I could feel the cold…crawling slowly under the bedsheets…while the crisp fresh air fills my lungs…spreading a new feeling in my heart.

In autumn there is the movement downwards, we grow calm and inward looking, we let go of the great energy of summer as we watch the world transformed into a quieter more meditative time…it is a time to reflect on the quality of life.

“Movement overcomes cold.

Stillness and silence overcomes heat.

Be as tranquil rain in the spring.

Be the pure sheen of white silk. “

Lao Tsu

Nurturing life from a Chinese medicine point of view

In “The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine”, one of the most important sources of wisdom about Taoism and Chinese medicine, the Emperor was asked why in the old days people had lived one hundred years without showing the usual signs of aging, but in modern times they aged prematurely. He was also asked if that happened due to environmental changes or because people did not lead the same way of life anymore.

The Emperor replied: “These days, people do not understand the principle of balancing yin and yang. They live an excessive life full of indulgence, and seek emotional excitement and momentary pleasures. People fail to regulate their lifestyle and diet or breathe properly. They do not live in harmony with the universe and fail to maintain healthy body and mind.”

Although the society has changed tremendously over the past 3000 years, the natural cycles that govern your body and the universe have not. You can increase your vitality and avoid diseases if you understand those cycles, practise self-cultivation including meditation and breathing techniques, follow a moderate diet and take care of your body and mind.

Disease is a sign of disharmony and may be associated with pain, anxiety, fatigue and infertility. It is important to bring your body back to its homeostasis. Acupuncture will first and foremost balance your Yin and Yang, and reduce all excessive energy. By needling meridian points, the ‘energetic highways’ in your body, it will fight the weakness, unblock whatever is stagnant, as well as restore and preserve your Qi (Energy) and ‘Life Essence’. Chinese Medicine is about nurturing life and healing your body.
Here is a great quote from the “Yellow Emperor’s” that summarises the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle: “Treating an illness after it has begun, is like suppressing a revolt after it has broken out”.

Wishing you all a healthy year.
