Listening to the Wisdom of the Body

For too long, illness has been seen as a weakness or failure; yet in 60 percent of cases, illness is a wake-up call from the soul that wishes to gain attention by creating disharmony in the body or mind. The body is not the enemy, unsupportive of our endeavors; it is one of our greatest friends, taking on the stress we're unable to handle emotionally, willing to express disharmony when we drift too far from our soul's truth and providing us with clear signposts as to the direction to take. By tapping into the wisdom of the body, we are shown the intricate links between personality and the state of well-being and how we can achieve optimal health through soul-directed health, despite modern-day stresses.

The Sun is Your Father; the Moon is Your Mother; the Earth is Your Home

Your physical condition is a snapshot in time of frozen emotions. Your emotions are the actions or movements of your mind and consciousness. Behind them, your spirit continually pulsates information to you about your purpose. You exist, not in isolation, but within webs of relationships that intersect in untold energy fields. The Universe constantly communicates with you from near and far. Your body, mind, spirit and emotions are ever responsive to the energetic changes around you, no matter how subtle. How can we recognize and cooperate with these energetic communications to achieve ultimate health? How can we understand the physical impact of Universal shifts, seasonal changes, and imbalances in nature herself? Explore with Dr. Lu the ancient concept of Qi, the vital life force that animates and informs all things. Discover how TCM's Five-Element Theory uses correspondences in nature to understand the powerful invisible Universal laws governing the human body and our inseparable connections to nature.
