A lack of social connection, does a number on physical health. Studies show that higher levels of loneliness, as well as the poor quality and quantity of social relationships, are associated with shorter lifespans. Add to that a higher risk for heart disease, chronic inflammation, cancer and cogniti...

Imagine the torment of a creative soul trapped by the limitations of a body that is no longer healthy enough to do artistic work…
..the pain of watching from the sidelines while others pursue their passions…
..the endless exhaustion and debilitation as cancer works its way through bone…
..what would it take to free the artist from her suffering? A lifelong regime of invasive tests and surgeries? A new wonder drug? Where can she turn?

The truth is, the body can be just as powerful as the mind in knowing how to heal - and when the two work together as one, their power is more than doubled.

So, to access deeper healing, we first have to realize that we each have a mind AND a body that contains knowing wisdom and that they are not separate but profoundly integrated with one another.

The next essential insight is to know that YOU have access to your body more than anyone else - more than any doctors, more than your parents, more than your spouse or your children.

Nobody can listen to, and understand, your body like you can.

Your thoughts and actions influence your health, and that means you have the power to choose your paradigm.

Only you can choose what kind of relationship you have with yourself, in your body and in your mind. What did the artists in our story choose?

In Qigong, you work with mental and physical manifestations of energy in a way that releases and reduces stress, including stresses that have built up over the years.

And... this life-affirming and transformative work is the focus of Master Mingtong Gu’s Chi Center Retreats for immersive and intensive healing. This year we are featuring three 10-Day Retreats. You can attend one, two, or all. The dates are October 14-23; October 26 - November 4; and November 9-18.

During the Fall of 2022, our brand new Retreats focus on "The Alchemy of Body & Soul" — the ways in which integration of the mind-body-heart opens us to Wholeness and the natural energies of healing that are available to us all the time. Through immersive practice we come to release our internal blockages, and old traumas and wounds lodged deep within our cellular memory.

We are planning many new features during these Retreats, including ample time to connect with the enormous beauty and power of the sacred land on which The Center is built! (There are ancient trees, petroglyphs, arroyos, relics, and more!)

This Retreat season is perfect for you if you suffer from any type of health challenges, if you feel guided to help and serve people whose health is deteriorating, if you are looking for ways to cultivate your connection to others, or if your intention is to deepen your sense of satisfaction, meaning, and fulfillment. It’s guaranteed to show you a direct path to deep physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing — beyond medicine and faith or belief.

During the life-changing Alchemy of body & Soul Retreats, you will learn:

How to clear and balance your emotions, allowing a deeper healing to occur
Techniques for developing a quiet and creative mind to realize healing most effectively
The ultimate methods for transmitting chi to assist the healing process in yourself and in others
How to tap into a pure and expanded state of conscious awareness
How to organize a chi field with collective power to accelerate your healing
Profound theories and practices for energy healing, to better understand and evolve your healing capacity
How to cultivate internal and external support systems, including individual practice and community connections for sustainable healing

Please think about the Animals in hot weather.

If you love them, leave them at home while you go shopping. Even dogs sitting in cars with the windows rolled down have known to go unconscious and die. It’s not worth the risk. If you see an animal in a car during this heatwave, act fast!

Did you know?

Hundreds of pets die each year from being left in a hot car. Animals can sustain brain damage or even die from heatstroke in just 15 minutes.

Beating the heat is extra tough for dogs because they can only cool themselves by panting. Because cars heat up extremely quickly, never leave your pet in the car – not even for the quickest errand.

Here are the signs of a dog that has heatstroke or is in distress, shared by a vet:

- Heavy panting
- Dribbling
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Weakness
- The dog appearing drowsy
- Collapse

Love your dog, let them stay home. 🏠🆒

Please also put water out and don’t ask your animals to exert themselves as you would normally. Walk dogs pre 7am or post 9pm for a short time. 🌚 Make sure horses have shade and water.

If you would like to add to the list of how you are caring for your animals, birds, and local wildlife, we would love to hear from you. ❤️🙏 sharing your top tips helps everyone. 🐩 🐈 🐎 🐦 🐔 🐇 🐢 🐊😀

HEAT STROKE TREATMENT - RSPCA

1. Move the dog to a shaded and cool area

2. Immediately pour COOL (not cold to avoid shock) water over the dog. Tap water (15-16°C) has been found to be the most effective at cooling dogs with heat-related illnesses. In a true emergency, any water is better than nothing

3. Wet towels placed over the dog can WORSEN the condition of heat stroke, trapping heat. In mild cases towels can be placed under the dog, but never over, and in a true emergency water immersion or pouring water with air movement is ideal.

4. Throughout the treatment of heatstroke try to avoid pouring water on or near your dog's head, as there is a risk of them inhaling water which could lead to drowning, especially for flat-faced and unconscious dogs.

5. Allow the dog to drink small amounts of cool water (not cold).

6. Dogs that have lost consciousness will stop panting, despite still having a very high temperature, these dogs require urgent aggressive cooling as a priority.

7. Once the dog is cool, take them to the nearest vet as a matter of urgency.
