Fill Up This Winter with Positive Change
As the ground hardens and the air chills, we are drawn to go ‘inside.’
In Taoist traditions, winter is the season when you are called to explore what lives below the surface, to pay attention to the internal workings of your intuition.
 
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is the time to focus upon the Kidneys (Yin), and the Bladder (Yang), as well as the adrenals.
This is a crucial time to nourish, warm and fuel your physical, mental and spiritual energy.  These winter practices have a cumulative effect upon your physical health, mental clarity, and innovative spirit.
 
Infuse yourself with positive change by practicing and dancing QiGongQiGong is an invaluable tool to unite and align your thoughts, heart, and physical body.  It is one of the best ways to infuse your being with your intention while bringing in and initiating positive change.

Was your Holiday Happy?
By Delia Nessim

Delia NessimHoliday time can be fun and exciting.  For many people, it’s one of the few occasions for friends and family to gather, share a nice meal, and reconnect.  Some families have a lot in common.  They have plenty of fond memories to recall and new stories to tell.  For other families, time spent together can mean anxiety, anger, and a struggle to get through the day without someone losing their cool.  There is no shame in feeling this way.  Relationships are meant to be challenging.  If they were all easy, life would be pretty boring.
