Hi Reader,

​

Treating communities is my jam, person by person.

We are tired, busy, hot, sticky and need effective healthcare.

Summer is Fire element and associated with the Heart, Small Intestine, San Jiao (Triple Heater) and Heart Protector.

To attune with summer... move Qi, clear Heat and clarify your Heart's desires.

Humans have multi-aspected bodies, intergenerational wisdom, pain and possibility. We are prone to peace, and to war. Raising capacity helps to discern, commit and decide.

We have never before been so subject to our environment's calls for help. Perhaps we are in the summer of Earth across all time. Planet on fire in Land & Body.

By balancing emotional heat with the coolant that is regard, we apply the 3000 yr old theories of TCM to daily life. With Yin and Yang harmony tended to, we decide from closer to harmonious flow.

Presence generates Qi, and hope's potency.

The PORTAL resources

Eat

Drink so much H20, eat watermelon, steam veggies, chomp fruits

• Drink even more water to lift you up.
• Eat watermelon and mint for internal air conditioning.
• Veggies and fruits give us water, plus nutrients. Check out kale, radish, spinach, apples, cucumber, carrots, celery and berries. Raw or lightly cooked are the way to go for high heat.

Move

Activate flow in all three burners of your body.

The San Jiao represents an organ with function but no form. Encompassing the lower, middle and upper areas of the torso, this System is closely linked to the immune system and to regulating temperature. When we help the body to move Qi in the Fire organs, everyone benefits.

What insights bubbled up to touch your consciousness, if any?

​

Pursue

Awareness is heightened when you rest amidst activity.

Heat can make for fuzzy thinking. To get clear try having 2 glasses of room temperature water and an hour of stillness while you take in ATTUNE and learn about mental balance and the 5 Spirits.

Connect with your Heart's desires and make Fall/Winter a resource for harvest and deep reflection.
