07 Jul: Summer Fun – Great Prime Day Deals to check out

The 2-day Prime Day event is July 11 and 12 and includes great deals to check out for summer fun, gua sha tools, and other wellness buys.

We begin to transition from summer to autumn on September 8, according to the 24 Solar Terms calendar. This is when we begin the period call “White Dew”, one of the 24 periods of a calendar that previously informed agricultural practices and today is still used by people to observe change in climate and therefore diet and lifestyle. It is a cultural practice to eat with the season to support and strengthen our constitution. Growing awareness of Chinese medicine outside of China has given us access to different ways to balance our energies and nourish ourselves. I invite you to explore these ideas and observe how you respond.

The season of Autumn is governed by the Air Element in Chinese philosophy and cosmology. The organ pair in focus this time of the year is Lung and Large Intestine. If you experience imbalance in these energetic and physical organs, supporting them now can have an important impact. The attitude related to the Lung and Large Intestine energies is grief according to Chinese philosophy and Jin Shin Jyutsu. This attitude “sticks” when there is an imbalance and we can find challenging letting go and releasing.

MOVE

Move pillar of health and wellbeing What Therapy Power of Choice platform
The body is built to move. Physical movement has positive effects on and reflects movement on other levels, including mental flexibility and emotional harmony. Movement goes beyond exercising. Awareness of how we move helps us stay agile, responsive, and present. Conscious and embodied movement also illumines where we may have limited our state of being.

HEAL

heal at what therapy
In Chinese Medicine, there are three levels of dis-ease and well-being – the earthly level, the human level, and the celestial level. Each one requires a different focus though the elements are linked and interdependent. At the earthly level, we work with the environment, including the climate and the diet. At the human level, we look at our patterns of thought, emotions, and behaviour. Our fixation and attachment can lead to imbalance and even suffering. At the celestial level, we look at how we follow our heart as a way to fulfill our “destiny”. At What Therapy we believe that there are more than physical factors in play and look at the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of healing.

GLOW

TRAVEL

Travel Pillar of Light What Therapy The Power of Choice
We live in a global village and most of us are travellers, whether it’s to the most remote reaches of Northern Norway or on a road trip to the next province or state. Travelling is a great way to engage with the greater world and see perspectives other than our own. It is an opportunity to experience local food, beauty rituals, healing traditions, and so much more. We believe travelling nurtures our curiosity and openness. It is a wonderful pause from our everyday routine to disengage from a set way of being. It is a positive disruption that asks us to live more presently.

Here we look at the what, why, and how of the principles and philosophies of everyday life.
