Body temperature works in the shadows for you. It does the job with methodic rhythm, rising from morning to late afternoon and early evening. Then you're at your your full physical potential for peak performance.
When tradition meets medicine: you won't ever eat your mooncake the same way!
Mooncakes are the perfect seasonal symbolic-medicinal food. They’re not meant to be yummy. They’re meant to calm the heart and draw your body-mind inward to align with nature’s momentum in both autumn and late summer. And a little sadness means they’re working. 😉 here’s why:
Gut issues influence your neck muscles. The article shows what acupuncture channels have established 2,000+ years ago. Here, the sinew channel of the small intestine that covers the regions of the lateral aspect of the neck and often scapula area.
Your neck muscles become tense in response to stress within the gut. No amount of stretching or releasing will relax these muscles in this case. Instead, the stressor(s) within the gut must be addressed. If you are unresponsive to physical modalities, look at the gut.
Monotony is boring unless ... ... it's Boorstin’s cyclical monotony, that describes the unchanging, repetitive, and predictable patterns of nature.
Miles Davis said: "Timing isn’t the main thing. It’s the only thing." Did he know space-time is the center of Chinese medicine? Prescribing herbs is called opening direction. Needling requires the knowing the season of a day, of a year. Modern science has started proving it.
Modern longevity seekers are the new hunters and gatherers. They fiercely hunt for health hacks. They relentlessly gather cutting-edge technologies. But they forget the most important medium: nature.
Contrast is a framework for health. How? Bright days followed by dark nights. Like swinging from yang to yin, Using extremes as potential. Your body needs to mimic What nature does.
People take supplements to stay healthy or prevent deficiencies. But more doesn’t always mean better. Every substance we ingest acts on the body. Flavours are you healers, but can also be your killers. No ingestion is neutral: each flavour shifts internal balance.
Time fractal in Chinese medicine: [A duration of] • 5 days is named hou; • 3 hou [terms] is named qi; • 6 qi [terms] is named a season; • 4 seasons is named year. 3x6x4=72, number of Chinese "seasons" in a year, during which natural occurrences take place.

Diet needs timing. The new X factor in health says modern science. But that's for daily food. Long term? Chinese medicine says: follow the seasons to boost your wellbeing. Eat with nature’s rhythm. Ready? Free course awaits to get you started: Follow + reply "rhythm".
Choice isn’t binary: it’s a continuum. If it were, then that would be it. Remember this: More than two sides to every choice.
This morning is a little cold but with the sun out and the nice track, I had no excuses not to move, get sunlight and some fresh air. What was your move?
Dreams or nightmares are your own very private diagnostic tools. I help patients uncover the lid and see patterns.
If you can, adapt your sleeping-waking cycle to the season. In autumn go to sleep early and wake up early.
Spent the whole day inside. At some point, it was too much. My body called, and I listened. I cycled through the vineyards. It felt amazing. Like a reset. A short bout of nature-deficit disorder, relieved.
You're on a rhythm aligned with the light-dark cycle. • Yang qi brings natural exuberance early in the day. • Yin qi draws you toward tranquility from late afternoon into night. By attuning to this daily rise and fall, harmony becomes the cornerstone of your life.
Another form of "union" colours Chinese thought: union of Heaven and Man (天人合一). All 3 speak to various levels of unity or progress: • 天人合一 is metaphysical and ecological • 知行合一 is epistemological and ethical • 协力争先 is socially motivational
Seen in Guiyang: street sign with shout-out to Neo-Confucian philosopher Wang Yangming who experienced his epiphany here. 知行合一 “union of thought and action” was his famous motto.
