🌬️✨ Season Shift, School Stress & Lung Qi—Support with LU 3 & LU 4

As we move toward fall and settle into new routines, our Lungs take center stage in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Emotional shifts, grief, and seasonal dryness can leave us feeling depleted—especially with back-to-school transitions and Texas heat still lingering.

📍 LU 3 (Tianfu) + LU 4 (Xiabai) = a powerful pair to:
- Tonify Lung Qi
- Ease emotional heaviness & grief
- Strengthen breathing & clarity

Support all these transitions we're going through—seasonal & personal

💆‍♀️ Gently press along the upper arm (just above and below the bicep midpoint) while breathing deeply. These points help restore balance and calm from the inside out.
