Qigong Insights for the Autumn

The Autumn season, according to Qigong theory, brings with it a paradox: 

To harmonize with it we need to allow the energies of Life to guide us inward and downward, but we also need to rally good boundaries to help us defend against any "invasive" energies.

In ancient Daoist medicine they noticed what modern science confirms, if your sleep or nutrition are poor, or if you get too stressed, the immune system suffers!

In medical qigong practice addressing the immune system, they always tried to balance these two movements, bringing the Qi deep within to nourish, and also guiding it to the surface to strengthen our immunity.

In Autumn, our practice must follow these same principles. 

Qigong masters of old felt that during this season, our life force naturally goes within and it's the perfect time to restore and nourish ourselves - even deepening our practice of inner peace through meditation.  But at the same time, we cannot go so far inward that we neglect proper boundaries.

These principles benefit us psychologically at least as much as the benefit the meridian system!

I'm releasing my latest mini-course on Qigong Therapy for the Fall Season to address common complaints that occur seasonally, or with the associated organ-meridian of this time of year, the Lung.  Included are medical qigong practices that can help with allergies, asthma, and recovery from illness.  It's designed to create the perfect balance between harmonizing with this inward drive toward restoration, and creating healthy and strong boundaries!
