Consciously Living In Light

Quick Tips to Stay Healthy this Fall Stay Organized and "Let Go" In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), autumn is associated with the Metal element and the Lung organ. Metal corresponds to order, organization and setting boundaries. Fall is a good time to finish up spring and summer projects and begin to get organized for the coming winter months. Lungs support the energy of "letting go," so it’s important to let go of unneeded items that are cluttering the home and the mind,... in order make room for new ones. Stay Active Even though the days are getting shorter, don’t let that be an excuse to stop exercising and moving your body. Take advantage of the cooler weather to take brisk walks or hikes. Nourish the lungs’ energy by breathing deeply, expanding the chest and getting fresh air. Try to start your day by being active, especially if you want to spend the evening cozying up indoors with a warm beverage. Boost your Immune System In the cooler days of autumn, you may be more vulnerable to colds and respiratory allergies. In TCM, the lungs govern the protective Qi, which defends the body from viruses and other external pathogens. Support the lungs and immune system with Qi Gong, herbs, acupuncture and foods like onion, radish and pear. Eat more warming foods such as soups, and less cold foods, such as salads. Wear a Scarf As the days get more cold and windy, protect yourself by wearing a scarf. In TCM, the wind is said to be the cause of 100 diseases, and an exposed neck is a vulnerable area where the wind can attack the body. By Dr. Jing Chen, DAOM, L.Ac., Dipl.O.M, FABORM

Take a moment and think about who and what you are. What is there not to love? The body? Love it as your communications vehicle on the physical plane and your love will maintain the visible form in the energy of love. The personality? Love it and watch how it changes to mirror that love. The Divine Consciousness of your essential Self? That’s the full embodiment of universal lovethe very Self expression of God. Can you not love God expressing as you?... You are a great, grand magnificent being, the sum-total of all the cosmic energies individualized as the being you are. Love the completeness of yourself, then turn your gaze to the one closest to you and see another super-being, and continue the rollout of your vision until you see everyone as the very Selfhood of God in individual expression.
