There are many teachings on clearing out emotions that have been collecting.  In Chinese Medicine there are Five main emotions that govern the Organs and the flow of Qi and Blood which regulate the whole body. The emotions all have ways of clearing out through the Meridians (energy channels) that correspond to the different organs, out of the body and into the universe to transform into good for the greater whole. If they aren't cleared out in the right way, they are directed in the body into different patterns that may show up as something helpful to build the system, or lead to an imbalance that can result in a dis-eased state. It is important to learn ways to balance and regulate ones emotions especially when excess ones show up, for example the main Five Emotions of Fear, Worry, Anger, Melancholy, and Grief.

If any of these emotions are showing up in your life more than another it is important to learn different ways to balance them.  This can happen over night through rest, or after different sessions of therapy including through Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Medicine.  It can happen through doing a sport to changing one's diet. Learning ways to help balance one's emotions and direct them in a healthy way in the world can help make it a better place.


Be well.

Just Breathe.

A great, simple and free tip that I love, is to take three slow, deep breaths  before opening a door.  This is a wonderful reminder for one's body, mind and emotions to calm down, regain focus and nourish our systems with oxygen.  When we feel stressed or hurried we tend to take in less oxygen as we take shallower breaths. By taking in a breath through the nose and feeling our belly expand with it, and then our chest, as we breathe slowly out we are helping our body detox many elements that make us feel tense.  After taking a few moments to remind our selves to breath deeper and recenter, our overall health regains strength and we gift our life with more vitality.
