Greetings!
As the June Solstice approaches, I invite you to notice that the days getting longer (in the Northern Hemisphere) and the sun is shining bright to bring you fruit and joy. It is a time of celebration and production. The Earth's axis of rotation reaches its apex on June 21st, officially bringing us summer. Scroll down to read about Traditional Chinese Medicine and this season's affect on the body.
As the wheel turns, I can not believe that April of 2011 has passed. April 20th marked the second anniversary of the grand opening of my home studio! If you have not had a session in this sanctuary, you are missing out. The bamboo filters the natural sunlight and the birds add to the soft music of the fountain. Whether you need a workout or a body work session, this is the perfect spot to treat your body like a temple.

Summer Element- Fire
Heart, Small Intestine,
Pericardium, Triple Warmer
These four meridians run to and from the trunk and finger tips. Essentially, when you hug someone, you are stimulating acupressure points on these 4 Fire Meridians! Summer is the time to celebrate Joy, Love, Happiness, and Laughter. Is there a better way to share joy and harmony than to give a hug?
In traditional Chinese Medicine these meridians rule our body temperature, circulation, inner joy, growth, and communication. Many people experience repetitive strain injuries from typing on the computer. Typically these people have muscle tightness in the forearms, the very space through which these meridians run. Could it be too much communication (typing) and not enough laughter?
As you sit in front of your computer, do you notice that your chest is slumped forward and your forearms are tight? Try standing up and gently interlacing your hands behind your back and gently stretch open your fire meridians. Do you feel the joy returning?
Summer is the time of the year when the fruit of our labors is ripening. The crops are bearing fruit and our personal projects mature in the sunlight. So get out there and exercise, pick some fresh fruits and vegetables, and enjoy the light!
Arms are for hugging.
Be well, Liz
