Monday Motivation: Acupuncture for COVID-19: Loss of Smell and Taste

https://vimeo.com/504140735   Dr. Scott Greenapple The primary long haul or lingering effects from COVID 19 are loss of sense of smell and taste. From the research, approximately 85% of COVID -19 patients will experience some subjective disturbance in their sense of smell. The median return of smell is about eight days. It is estimated that 25% of patients lose their sense of smell up to 60 days, and 15% experience loss of smell more than 60 days. An interesting retro study showed that patients who maintained their sense of smell and taste had more severe symptoms of the disease and were more likely to go to the hospital and even be put on ventilators. The ones who lost their sense of smell and taste had milder cases. A recent controlled clinical...

Qi Gong: Meditation in Motion with Dr. Greenapple

Walk Slowly by Danna Faulds It only take a reminder to breathe, a moment to be still, and just like that, something in me settles, softens, makes space for imperfections. The harsh voice of judgement drops to a whisper and I remember again that life isn't a relay race; that we will all cross the finish line; that walking up to life is what we were born for. As many times as I forget, catch myself charging forward without even knowing where I'm going, that many times I can make the choice to stop, to breathe, and be and walk slowly into the mystery (2002 by Danna Faulds - Published in her book "Go In and In: Poems from the Heart of Yoga") https://vimeo.com/473664435 Do You Need a Password to...

Monday Motivation: Strengthen Your Mind, Body, and Spirit with Qi Gong

Qi Gong - Moving Meditation: Strengthens the Body-Mind-Spirit with Profound Healing Effects https://vimeo.com/467866086 Dr. Scott Greenapple Qi Gong (Chee Kung) is one of the five baskets of Chinese medicine. The five staples of Chinese Medicine are (1) Acupuncture, (2) Nutrition and life style, (3) Herbal Remedies, (4) Massage, and/or self-massage, Tui-na (manual muscle and joint release), (5) Qi Gong, Tai Chi, (movement exercise that includes body, breath and mind). For a millennium, ancient cultures have used and understood the curative and preventative powers of movement and breath. Yoga and Tai Chi have made it to the west in the past few decades and have become almost mainstream in health clubs and studios. But, it is the older traditions of Qi Gong healing practices that are recently in the...

LOVING KINDNESS OR METTA MEDITATION

By: Dr. Scott Greenapple With all the turmoil, anger frustration, and general upheaval in the country and world right now, I thought this would be the perfect time to guide you through a meditation to quiet the mind and open the heart. https://vimeo.com/426720724 Metta or Loving Kindness Meditation is a method of developing compassion.  More information is sent from the heart to the brain than from the brain to the heart. When we hold compassion, joy, love and equanimity in the heart, we can help bring those qualities and awareness to not only ourselves, but to those we come in contact with or just hold dear to us.   These meditations are great ways to cultivate our sense of compassion, thereby sending out good will, kindness and warmth by...

Qi Gong & Self Massage

QI GONG: Enhance Your Immune System, Decrease Your Stress With this Meditation with Movement https://vimeo.com/418914789 Qi - Gong is an eastern practice of balancing the body, breath and the mind with flowing movements and meditation. "Qi" means "Energy", "Gong" means "To Work".  So, literally we are working with the body's energy to balance and harmonize, allowing the body's natural capacity to turn on the healer within. In this short video we are using a form of massage or tapping to align the three Dan Tiens or what are known as "Elixir Fields".  Aligning these three elixir fields or reservoirs of energy is a great way to begin any Qi Gong or Tai Chi practice.  It is also a wonderful ritual to start and end the day on its own.   There...

Enhance Your Immune System With These Acupuncture Points

Dr. Scott Greenapple With all the media coverage, the daily barrage of political briefings as to what we can do to avoid getting COVID-19 or what will be the best new medicine or vaccine developed; very few if any are speaking about how we can enhance our own immune systems. It is very clear that those who are at the most risk of severe illness or death, for the most part, are those who are older or have a compromised or weakened immune system. This is a common theme amongst most illnesses. If we have a strong immune defense system, theoretically, we have the best chances of fighting off most illnesses, including viruses. If in fact there is a second round of this or another increase...
