Gratitude Bow
Hello Healing Communi-Qi,
As we are in the winter season and this is time for keeping warm and keeping kidneys strong. I am going to share some of the helpful Spring Forest Qigong/Chinese Medicine tips:
GRATITUDE BOW EACH MORNING.
This prayer posture holds the key to activating your heart energy and the powerful energy of gratitude.
The moment your hands come together, the energy channels in your body re-align, directing energy towards your chest and calming any scattered thoughts or tension.
This is a wonderful way to start or end your day.
It sets the tone for a day with more good feeling replenishing your energy and giving you a boost for your day. It also:
1) strengthens your spine, which is closely connected to vitality and headaches
2) recharges your kidney energy, supporting your overall health
3) opens up your lung channels, improving breath and energy flow.
4) Gratitude boosts the immune system
Drinking water at key times through out the day when kidney is active: 7 a.m., 5 p.m. and 9 p.m.
CUP YOUR KIDNEYS EACH DAY
Keep your legs warm when outside - the legs represent vitality and when the legs get cold in winter, it can drain your vitality energy and lead to health problems when spring comes.
Standing with your knees bent while doing qigong is a good way to to strengthen your legs and keep them active.
In practice bending them deeply as you can is good way to keep legs active, strengthen your vitality and your digestive system too.
Keep your C7 veterbrae safe - this is more than just a part of your spine. It’s a vital bridge between your head, heart, and the rest of your body. Helps with fever, colds, neck and shoulder pain.
Simple, daily rituals keep you grounded and keeping the kidney energy system strong helps your body be stronger in spring too.
Commit to your daily rituals of peace and connection. Even one minute a day helps.
Focus on movements and words that soothe your challenges.

Holiday Season
Hello Healing Communi-Qi, Colleagues and Friends,
This winter and holiday season is upon us and the founder of Spring Forest Qigong calls this the season of LOVE.
This is the time when the energy shines brighter and stronger than any other time of the year.
It’s a season that reminds us to slow down, connect and open up our hearts to the world around us.
Remember, we are energetic beings so practice expanding your love energy.
The holidays may feel very busy and are not easy for everyone so taking time for self-care is a priority and self-love is key.
You can consider what you appreciate about yourself each day. There is always something.
Daily Rituals for Calm and Higher Vibration.
Take time to write out what you are grateful for as no matter what is going on gratitude keeps it all in perspective. And, if you want to join me in gratitude exercise you can take a few minutes each day to write about the joy you feel as you give thanks for the simplest things in your life each day.
On the site, listied under meditations, find the Subtle Energy Exercise from William Bloom. You can do daily at this time for your intentions for this holiday season or for any intentions.
This will be on the website in meditation section and annual members can sign in for Qigong Sessions to do in their holiday time. If any healing communi-qi wants a reminder of how to keep kidneys strong in this time as they are on duty, just reach out to me.
In the meantime, focus on expanding your heart, sending love beams out there before you use words. and know every day at 2 p.m. you can send peace and love out in a world-wide community. I have included the you tube explanation of how it works:

Kidney Energy System
Hello Healing Communi-Qi,
On November 7th, we moved into winter energy and we shared how the Kidney Energy system is on duty now.
I shared some tips for working with the energy now.
This system includes the bladder, ears, spine, brain and bone marrow, and is part of the Water Element and the Emotion connected to the Kidneys is Gratitude.
I have begun the challenge of writing out 10 things a day I appreciate when I wake up and when I go to bed. The acting of writing helps you stay in the moment of the feeling. Remember, you can practice that all you want is already here. Feeling the joy of the experience you want and the gratitude of it already happening. See what happens if you do this each day.
According to some Chinese Medicine practitioners and other experts in this energy field, your dedication will raise your frequency which will raise your energy field and help your immune system. It causes the arteries in your heart to swell and open up.
Here’s Dr. Joe Dispenza sharing why a daily gratitude practice is good and can you practice feeling gratitude even for what hasn't happened yet?

Thank you for joining together in this Communi-Qi😊
Each of us practising uplifting emotions in our day makes a difference to those around us.

Healing Water & Contentment
Hello Healing Communi-Qi,
We worked with the Yin Ener-Qi of Autumn. The active yang energy is moving away to allow room for the more gentle, inward YIN energy.
I shared that focusing on Contentment is an excellent exercise for this season. We shared how qi can make us more sensitive to sounds, sights and our intuitive feelings.
Here are some auditory sounds of fall that might make you feel CONTENT.
Quiet
Crackle of a woodwork flame
Snore of a sleepy dog
Creak of familiar wood floors
Crackle of old book's binding
Pour of coffee into foam
Rustle of leaves on beaches
Choose your moment. Put on a smile, relax your shoulders and breathe deeply for a few minutes. Hello Healing Communi-Qi,
