QI GONG – MOVING MEDITATION: FOR HEALTH, PREVENTION AND RECOVERY FROM BREAST CANCER

Dr. Scott Greenapple In traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) we look at seasons and consider them as elements. With each change of the season, there are elements and meridians that correspond.  We look at the meridians and elements and how they tend to have a direct correlation to both the physical and emotional aspects of our lives.

Harnessing the Energy of the Summer Solstice

SUMMER: ACUPUNCTURE AND THE FIRE ELEMENT Summer is officially here.  Days are longer and typically filled with sunshine.  The season brings with it abundant energy, growth, and fun-filled activities.
