Just some practical advice over the holidays

The holiday season can be filled with joy, but it can also feel overwhelming. Between family gatherings, shopping, and social events, it's easy to forget that it's okay to say no. 💖

Remember, your mental health matters! Here are a few tips:

1️⃣ Set Boundaries: Don’t be afraid to decline invitations or events if you're feeling overwhelmed. Your well-being comes first.
2️⃣ Practice Self-Care: Take time to rest, recharge, and do what makes YOU feel good.
3️⃣ Ask for Help: It’s okay to lean on friends, family, or a professional if things get heavy.
4️⃣ Focus on What Matters: Let go of the pressure and focus on what brings you peace and joy.

Winter Solstice in the Christmas week … 💖✨

🌟 The Winter Solstice is Tomorrow! 🌟

Tomorrow, December 21st, marks one of the most powerful and transformative days of the year. It’s the perfect time to align your heart and mind, and connect deeply with the energy of the season. ✨

To truly understand the significance of the solstice, we must first recognize the balance of Yin and Yang—the two fundamental energies that shape everything in the universe. These energies are in a constant dance, always shifting, growing, and transforming. Twice a year, we experience their peak and deepest shift—tomorrow is one of those days!

👉 In the Northern Hemisphere, we celebrate the Winter Solstice, when Yin energy is at its peak. It's a time for stillness, reflection, and nurturing the deep wisdom that comes with this quiet energy. Embrace the calm, protect your energy, and connect with the quiet power of Yin.

👉 In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the Summer Solstice, when Yang energy is strongest. It's a time for active celebration—get outside, enjoy the warmth, and let the vitality of the sun fill you with joy and energy!

No matter where you are, tomorrow is a perfect time to protect your energy and honor the balance of Yin and Yang. Here's how you can make the most of this powerful transition:

🔥 Nurture Your Energy

👉Eat or Drink Something hot and sweet; Making something hot and sweet for yourself can be very nurturing for your system and very helpful in getting your energy grounded.

Chinese medicine says that on that day, December 21, if you can eat or drink something sweet and hot it will help you get through the months of winter energy dominance much better, with fewer colds or other winter illnesses. Chinese medicine also advises you not to drink too many cold things this time of year and to keep your body warm.

👉Keep your feet and Head Warm; When you go outside keep your feet and head warm for the protection of the vitality of your body so that when spring comes your health is much better.

👉Meditate; Especially on the 21st if you can, do lots of meditation. Since yin and yang are each at opposite points this day it is a great time to meditate. This is a very powerful switching point so when you do a meditation on this day you help yourself get more energy and balance your energy quicker.

👉Limit Excessive Exercise Activity; The yang energy is very weak on this day. It is like a teeny baby just ready to be born. It is weak so you need to protect it. On this day, do not do a lot of exercise and get sweaty. This over activates your yang, which is much too delicate and weak now. Stick to slow and relaxed forms of exercise, such as yin flow yoga or Qigong.

👉Stay away from Spicy Foods; Spicy foods can over activate your yang energy, which is much too delicate and weak right now.

👉Do not Engage in Sexual Activity; One of the key points from Chinese longevity philosophy is that people who have s*x on that day will take longer to build up their yang energy for the spring because it weakens the body so tremendously.

In fact, in China on that day, qigong masters, tai chi masters, martial arts masters and others who are greatly knowledgeable and paying great attention to longevity don’t do anything on that day. They simply stay home and have something warm to relax, celebrate the day and be happy.

Of course, not everyone can do this. Not everyone even knows this. Not even every master knows it but people who do are very careful to honor and protect their yang energy on this day. By doing so they help the yang energy to grow and help the body to balance.

Who would have believed that I would encourage you to drink at the very least one cup of coffee a day to help motility in your bowels .
I do say to take a double espresso ☕️ first thing in the morning for a quick resolution of constipation.

2 other food items I swear by ; do remember I come from the tropical island of Mauritius 🇲🇺

Fresh tamarind ( from Asian shops ) and aubergines work very well too !

I love his advice , practical everyday actions we can all take to take control of our own good health 💖

Hello, my dear friends,

If you find you are getting angry, especially if you are quick to anger during the wintertime you should definitely drink more water.

This means that your yin energy is not strong enough.

Anger is fire energy and water can be used the to balance that fire.

You can drink as much water as you need or enjoy throughout the day but having a MINIMUM of 3 full glasses at these times, is good for your health in the winter and for longevity.

In the morning between 7 to 9 o’clock, a glass of water is very good for the stomach and the intestines. The digestive system and stomach channels are on duty and the water helps the stomach energy channels.

At 5 o’clock the kidney energy channel is on duty. Kidney energy, like water, is Yin energy so water at this time helps you to strengthen your vitality.

At 9:00 pm the yang energy in the heart is very strong. This is fire energy and water quenches fire so when you drink a glass of water it helps to calm down that energy to strengthen the kidney energy and help calm down the emotions so your energy is ready to go to bed.

Many Blessings,
Chunyi Lin

Some very good advice during this cold 🥶 spell

Hello my dear friends,

Today i want to share with you the importance of focusing on your legs in the winter time.

Strengthening your legs and knees is very beneficial in winter.

This is important because the legs represent vitality and when the legs get cold in the winter it can drain your vitality energy and lead to health problems when spring comes.

These things are especially important for people who have or have had heart problems.

There are many energy channels that run through the knees, including; The liver energy channel, the pancreas energy channel, the stomach energy channel and the bladder energy channel.

The knees and heels have many important energy points and the flow of energy can easily become stagnant and the simplest thing you can do to keep this from happening is to....

👉Keep your Legs warm in the winter. This will help to keep your kidney energy from being depleted in winter. Just by doing that you can help prevent colds and the loss of your vital kidney energy.

👉Standing with your knees bent while doing your Spring Forest Qigong Active Exercises is a good way to strengthen your legs and keep them active. When you do your qigong active exercises bend your knees a little. Bend them as deeply as you feel comfortable doing. Bending your knees can really help to strengthen your knees and legs, strengthen your vitality and your digestive system.

Many Blessings,
Chunyi Lin
