Finally, for the summer season, I have added to a blurb I wrote in 2011 about the joy of summer. Enjoy!

Summer Element- Fire

TCM Meridians:

Heart, Small Intestine,

Pericardium, Triple Warmer

Ayurvedic Element:

Fire / Pitta

Chakra: Solar Plexus

The four Fire meridians run to and from the trunk and finger tips. When you hug someone, you are simultaneously stimulating acupressure points along 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 the fire meridians rule our body temperature, circulation, inner joy, growth, and communication.

In Yogic Medicine, Ayurveda, the Fire element is held as a flame in our Solar Plexus, the Third Chakra between the navel and the heart. When we hug someone, we are also stimulating our fire center.

The Solar Plexus is the seat of our confidence and where we balance our emotions.

If you are experiencing a lack of joy, try standing up and gently interlacing your hands behind your back and slowly stretch open your fire meridians. Breathe into your solar plexus. 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.

Thank you so much for your time and business. We survive on your personal referrals. When you are healed please pass on our information to someone in pain.

Sincerely,

Liz and Dan Duncanson

PS:

Did Gmail put this email where you want it?

As you may know, Gmail recently rolled out a newly designed inbox. If you've been using the new design, you also know your emails are now being sorted into three tabs - Primary, Social, and Promotions - with two additional tabs, Updates and Forums, available from the Configure inbox section of your Gmail Settings.

You may also have noticed that Body Temple PT emails, maybe even this one, now appear in your Promotions or Updates tab. If you'd rather the emails we send end up in your Primary tab it's simple to tell Gmail where these emails should go.

Here's how:

*Drag and drop my email into your Primary tab and click "yes" when Gmail asks if you'd like future messages from this email address to go to your Primary tab.

That's it!

We hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions please let us know.

Thanks!
