What Ya Doing for the Winter Solstice?
We will be moving into winter in a few days. The
Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year.
In China, the Dōngzhì Festival which
literally means “the extreme of winter” is
celebrated on the Winter Solstice, and is one of
the most important festivals celebrated by the
Chinese. This year, it falls on December 22. The
origins of this festival can be traced back to the
yin and yang philosophy of balance and harmony in
the universe. The original concept of yin and yang
came from the observation of nature and the
environment. “Yin” originally referred to the
shady side of a slope while “yang” referred to the
sunny side. Some examples include heaven and
earth, day and night, water and fire, active and
passive, male and female, and hot and cold. All
things have yin and yang properties.
The Solstice is celebrated by many cultures all
over the world, and there are temples dedicated to
it, the Stonehenge being one of them. After this
celebration, there will be days with longer
daylight hours, therefore, an increase in positive
energy flowing. I will be doing my practices more
intensely from today until the New Year as well as
increasing my Yin Qi gong practices until spring.
Every time the season changes, I do an anti-aging
program to improve my overall health and
happiness. That means that every 3 months, I’ll do
a special something aside from my daily health
regimen to stay in good shape, dis-ease free,
young, and agile. I might begin a new meditation,
or change my diet to only eat fruit or raw foods
for a week. Sometimes, I’ll do a cleansing and
detox my system, or get a colonic. I do see
conventional doctors now and then just to make
sure all is running smoothly, and I get my blood
tested, and see my dentist regularly. It’s
important to keep tabs on your health mentally,
physically, and spiritually. I suggest that you
start journaling to see if your health is getting
better or worse and make the right choices to stay
on a healthy program. I took the ALCAT test to see
what foods I can’t tolerate and changed my diet
accordingly. You can slow down the natural aging
process and stay 10, even 20, years younger than
your biological age by eating the right foods,
doing the right internal practices, and staying
balanced.
A few weeks ago, I saw a Tibetan Lama who
practices an ancient form of medicine called Sowa
–Rigpa medicine. His diagnosis incorporates pulse
analysis and urinalysis. He taught me meditations
to clear up any lingering karma that I wasn’t
attending to or has overlooked, plus a lot more.
Your spiritual practices are as important as your
physical and mental health, and I am not talking
about your religion or going to a church.
Spiritual work has to do with your relationship to
a higher being or higher source and has no dogma
attached to it.
The strongest days to get a treatment of
acupuncture or medical Qi gong are the 3 days
before, the day of, and the 3 days after the
Solstice. I am almost all booked up, so if you
want to use the season to the maximum, call in and
set up your treatment today at 305-407-0120. I am
having my Thermography redone this week with a
brand new technology that Dr. Carola Cuenca has
brought to Miami. If you want to get in for a
treatment and evaluation, she will be available
from December 20th until December 24th. Call now
to get an appointment at 305-407-0120 before the
time is gone.
I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth, and
Happiness.
