Qi Gong (Chinese Yoga) Clears the Lymphatic System
Often times, the stress of life and exposure to toxins in the environment can stress our lymphatic system. In Chinese medicine, the lymphatic is most closely associated with the triple heaters or triple burners, which can be thought of as an irrigation system of energy that disperses qi to the inte al organs. When this irrigation system is clear and free flowing, disease does not exist. When the triple heaters are obstructed, we see challenges manifesting as swollen lymph glands, low energy, and low immunity.

Beat the Heat with Qi Gong
Heat comes in many forms, not just the weather. It can represent struggle, inflammation and illness (particularly cancer). Visualize a large ice cube at the top of your head melting downward and washing away all tension, stress, pain and struggle as the coolness flows to your toes. Use this visualization every hour for one to three minutes today and notice what happens to your energy and perceptions. Often times, the conscious choice to shift our energetic states creates deeper states of peacefulness and acceptance in our lives.

The lack of self consciousness and the authenticity of just being, trusting and engaging life deeply, is amazing in young children.
