The wood element in Chinese Medicine associated with a period of flourishing and growth📈
•
It plays a major role
in kids lives as they are constantly growing.
•
The combination of nature @mcmartinsfarm
and activity ( picking 🍓) is a great way to support that element 🪵and keep the little ones happy 😊
•
According to @childmindinstitute recent studies have exposed the necessity of spending time outdoors. It builds confidence , promotes creativity and imaginations, teaches responsibility, makes kids think 🤔 and reduces stress and fatigue.

“Broken sequence” - Lu7 acupuncture poin

“Broken sequence” - Lu7 acupuncture point

One of my personal favourite points used in the clinic- especially when one is experiencing grief & sadness 😔 and those feelings that have been held onto and not expressed.

This point combined with another point (Li4) can also help detoxification of the body, eliminate toxins from mind 🤯and spirit.

Lung 🫁 is the receiver of Qi- the entrance, whilst the large intestine is drainer-the exit of what is no longer needed.
Both represent the beginning 🔰and the end 🔚

The point is also used for other issues such as headaches, migraines, nose blocked or loss of smell, water retention and more, all depends on differential diagnosis as always ❤️

Do you always feel cold?
Even when it’s not really winter….?🥶
•
🤔
Have you started your morning with a smoothie 🧋packed with ice? Do you tend to eat mainly raw foods that are cold in nature?
•
Cold can constrict -slow - stop - block- weaken.
•
•
Too much cold in the body can impact the flow and circulation of bodily fluids, that can lead to blood stasis expressed in problems such as endometriosis and pain.

There is a strong correlation between the temperature of your food to how you feel.
•
So if you are feeling cold it is advisable to eat warm cooked foods (what is more amazing than soup??), you can also try drinking Cinnamon tea or just pop some socks on your feet :)
•
In the clinic, other than using points that can help warming the body and increasing your energy, we will probably also use wonderful heating therapies such as #heatlamp or #moxa.
•
Listen to your body ❤️

A Buddhist saying Sometimes the best support you

A Buddhist saying

Sometimes the best support you can give someone is actually just being there to listen👂
Being quiet, without advising them about the next step they should take, without giving your opinion about the situation, just listen and let them find the answer within.

The life of a parent…
Prepare for school 📘, work 💼 check up appointments, lunch🍜, work again, reports, pick up time, prepare for after school 📚activities, 🏎driving to swimming 🏊‍♀️ , bring back from swimming, showers… no!
Thanks to my ❤️lovely husband .. I dropped the kids off to him at home🏠 for 20 mins before he is out for his 🏊‍♀️ and quickly drove to see this!
If we don’t make even that brief time to do what we love we are just rats in a race.. Break the routine, take a little time out from your busy schedule each and every day, even if it’s just for a 20 min swim 🏊‍♂️ in the sea or some other thing you appreciate doing that will bring you some down time to help you lift up your eyes 👀to behold the magnificence💫 around us.. xx

Nature is a friend indeed❤️

Since ancient time humanity understood the therapeutic benefits of being at one with the natural world.

Hippocrates himself for example highlighted the necessity of “airs, waters, and places”, for physical and mental well-being.

In a frantic world ask yourself- When was the last time you bonded with nature?

Doing things that we don't normally feel comfortable with and pushing ourselves in unfamiliar places, is one way of developing our inner strength and creativity💫

“Humans are a tiny part in a massive universe swirling around “

Observing the full force of nature makes me feel humbled and grateful for our very existence🙏

At the same time, looking at the ocean always reminds me of the endless possibilities out there -

everything is possible if you put your mind to it💫

When was the last time you felt one with nature ?

When was the last time you felt one with nature ?

It’s a good idea to support all our elements and put some extra time into the areas where we feel a bit less balanced.

I feel very fortunate to live in the #sunshinecoast and I do believe that a dip in the sea is the answer to every problem 😛
After all it can revive our deepest energy and nourish our Water Element. Helping us to finding once again that strong sense of will power to quieten down our fears.

But this weekend we did something different, we stayed for a few nights #noosahinterland which felt like
a good boost for our Wood Element.
The Woood Element is related to growth and creativity, but being imbalanced it could bring stress, anger and frustration.

And anyway, what’s better than
breathing fresh air, feeling the land under your feet and being surrounded by beautiful animals, which all have a name and a story behind them and were rescued by the gorgeous couple at @pinbarrengreenlodgesnoosa
Did you go anywhere recently that made you feel very good??
It may be related to some imbalances you have within and maybe this is exactly what your body needed.

How would you get there if you don’t know where

How would you get there if you don’t know where you are going ?

In life, same as when you are planning a holiday🏖, you need to decide where is your destination 🖼

When planning a trip, you select a destination, what to pack🧳, how to get there, same can be said with life.

If you are walking about with no intention it may be nice for a while🧐
to explore, to live in the moment🏄‍♀️ & to go with the flow, to see what happens and what opportunities life brings.

Saying that, if you do feel that you need a change👆🏻, there is something else you desire or another place 🏔you like to be in - you need to make plans!🗓

You need to have a destination in mind, so you can find your path and the steps to get there.
Your vision could simply be a better you, maybe just physically - a healthier you or maybe mentally - a happier 🤣you.
What ever it is that you inspired to be or inspire to have, you have to draw a roadmap for yourself pointing you towards ➡️the final destination and the path will follow.

Create who you want to be !🧘🏻

Our loved ones will always have our best interest

Our loved ones will always have our best interest at heart yet not everyone will agree with your ultimate decisions in life.

Sometimes their perception of our situations are moulded by their own experiences, sometimes it’s because they see things differently and sometimes it’s because they have an idea of who you are which may be different to how you see yourself.

As much as I believe in asking for advice and being open to other people’s ideas, it is still up to us as individuals to decide what feels right and what we choose to take in or not.

Stay true to your own heart, this is your way💖

Suffer from headaches? • The fantastic Feng Chi

Suffer from headaches?
•
The fantastic Feng Chi (GB20) is found in a depression between the origins of the sternomastoid muscle and the trapezius muscle.

I love this point! I often guide my patients how to locate it and massage it gently at home.
I find that not only structurally energy tends to get blocked in that area between the head and the neck, it especially applies to this day and age as people tend to have their head constantly down looking at their phones which disturbs the free flow in their neck.

Indications of the point are for:

•Exterior diseases of chills and fever with signs such as headaches, red sore eyes, nasal congestion/discharge or sore throat.

•Disorders of the senses such as visual disorders, nose bleed or tinnitus.

•The brain for mental or neurological disorders such as loss of memory or seizures.

•Issues of the neck, shoulders and upper back.

•Hypertension (in Chinese medicine this is relate to Hypertension from Liv yang Rising)

Give your kids the experience of nature 🍃🍂
•
In such a materialistic world we live in, it’s important to let your kids experience nature and be one with nature.
Even if it’s only little moments of playing outside, planting some flowers 🌹 or seeing the majesty of the setting sun ☀️
•
It’s us mums and dads that raise the next generation, so let us introduce the kids to the land, the 🌊 , the sky 🌌 and all of the animal world life aside from us humans.
•
Don’t let them get lost in the media👩🏼‍💻, or in the materialistic world.
Show them what is really important- to be aware of our place alongside the natural world.

Are you one of those people that could never medit

Are you one of those people that could never meditate?
•
I used to be one of those people, I would decide that I’m going to start meditating but after doing it for a day or two, I would make excuses and stop again.

I tried so many times, it’s all about - keep on trying, right? You can start and stop as many times as you like as long as you keep on trying.

What changed my perspective was when I heard that there wasn’t only one way to meditate 🧘‍♀️and it didn’t necessarily mean sitting or laying down in one position🧐
We in fact can actually meditate while we are on the move! We can meditate while we are walking,🚶🏼‍♂️it is another way of learning how to be mindful without the formality of sitting.
I am one of those people that has a busy mind and my body is always on the move. It’s a great trait to have when you need to get things done. But it isn’t an advantage when learning to meditate 😳 so meditation on the move sounded like the perfect way for me to start!

These days it’s different, starting with moving meditation I learned to slow down, I can now meditate laying down or sitting (still find the sitting quite uncomfortable though).

In my opinion, people that have a busy mind and can’t sit still are the very people that need to try this practice. Imagine when you have a chattering mind and have that ability to quiet it down, to disengage, to be able to make a conscious choice to let go of all the thoughts running around your head.

I’m not a meditating expert, for me it’s like a brain training exercise, getting better every time exactly as if we were to train our body in the gym🏋🏻.

It’s a choice we make to take back control of our body, take responsibility of our thoughts and move one step closer towards the direction we choose. Our purpose💖

Have you ever watched the movie 🎬 Sliding Doors

Have you ever watched the movie 🎬 Sliding Doors(1998)?
•
It’s a good concept that remind us that we make decisions every single moment of our lives that determine the course we take in our life.
•
Personally I believe that most of the time there is no such thing as “it’s too late ” or “I should have” - once it’s done it’s done✅
What we are doing in this PRESENT moment can make a big difference and can determine our future and how it’s going to look.
Don’t get me wrong I agree that we all “get different cards to play with”. We are all different and unique at the same time, our genetic make up is different, our constitution, our essence.
Some people get tired much quicker than others and some can just keep going, right❔
•
Also, life happens, trauma, illness, emotional strain and more.
People are different and each and every person has their story.
Whatever your story may be, it’s not about how you are in comparison to others, it’s about getting to your own full potential and help your body be the best that it CAN be. It’s about reaching out if you can’t, it’s about finding what is right for you and your body and doing so while trying to have a healthy lifestyle, healthy choices, healthy food and healthy exercise.
Some will benefit from doing 🧘‍♀️ yoga, some love running, some just prefer meditation, some are vegetarian, some follow Paleo, everyone is different and therefore there is no one size fits all but if you are doing nothing at all, if you don’t treat your body with love and look after it, if you don’t nourish your mind, if you just continue with the same things and same old way of living that failed you before, how would you get better? Isn’t it all at the end your choice? Don’t you have a say on trying to get your body to reach its full potential?

Are you always feeling cold🥶? Are you always tired🥱?
•
Try and eat warm cooked foods! Make sense, right? 🧐

In some instances where people complain about digestive issues, tiredness and a constant sensation of cold, if we take a closer look into their diet, it may require just a simple change to help correct the internal system.

Eating cold foods means eating raw, uncooked food🥗 or cold foods straight from the fridge or just foods that are cold in their nature.

The digestive system requires heat to process the food and break it down and cold foods could potentially not only slow the process of absorption making it hard to digest, it is also uses more of your own body energy to breakdown the food, potentially making you sluggish and tired.

So, if you suffer from internal cold, next time when you are planning a meal, consider adding a little heat 🥘 to your food 😉🙏

Change is a blessing in these challenging times. I wasn’t sure about taking the next steps forward as it’s easier sometimes to stay in your comfort zone. However how do we change our reality if we don’t change our mindset? So it’s up, up and away ✈️ for my family and I..
