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...

Telomeres: the new biomarker of health

It has been over 500 years since Ponce De Leon embarked on his quest in search of the Fountain of Youth.  Unfortunately despite our vast expanses in knowledge and understanding of the human body, we have yet to find the holy grail of anti-aging.  Social media and modern-day marketing, complete with a vast array of health tips, biohacking expert advice, dietary gimmicks, and quick-fix solutions, would lead you to believe otherwise.  If only it were that easy!  Staying healthy and aging well is a complicated business but at the foundation, it can be rather simple.  It all comes down to how our cells are aging on the inside that really matters.  Most of us are familiar with tracking our blood pressure, weight, laboratory data, and...

The Allure of Adaptogens

Chronic stress has been recognized as a major healthcare crisis of the 21st Century. Even before the global corona virus pandemic, the vast majority of us have been burning the candle at both ends. Unfortunately, the current situation has added more stress to our already overextended lifestyles. Unemployment rates at an all-time high, schools and businesses closed, vacations cancelled, families taking on new roles and responsibilities, financial concerns escalating, and so on. This great pause has forced us to slow down and reflex on the stressful lifestyles we were just weeks prior juggling. Now is an opportune time to work on new and improved ways get a handle on stress.  Our bodies were not designed to be in a state of chronic stress. Long term chronic...

COVID-19 Protecting Yourself and Supporting Your Immune System

COVID-19 Protecting Yourself and Supporting Your Immune System I am not an ID specialist and do not want to present myself like this in any way.

My goal is to use my knowledge to present the updated information in a precise and useful way, free of speculation, and full of helpful information. So, you can put into practice to address this growing epidemic with a sound mind. Nancy A.

QI GONG: HOW TO OPTIMIZE YOUR HEALTH & IMMUNE SYSTEM Dr. Scott Greenapple We are in a new and ever-changing paradigm shift in our world right now with regards to this new COVID-19, Coronavirus. With fear, anxiety, and stress running rampid, I would like to offer some practices from Eastern medicine which will help with stress reduction as well as immune support during these trying times. Qi Gong is part of the five pillars of traditional Chinese medicine and some consider it "The Most Profound Medicine". This form of moving meditation can also be known as "movement medication". Qi Gong and Mindfulness are both excellent modalities for self-care and well being. Qi Gong involves focused movement accompanied by mindful breathwork. These two very simple forms of Qi Gong that...

All the doctors at Thrive would like to acknowledge the fact that yes, the Coronavirus is real, it is here, and we must take this seriously.
