In der chinesischen Astrologie beginnt am 5. Februar 2019 das Jahr des Erde Schweins. Das Schwein ist ein Symbol für Glück, Zufriedenheit und Wohlstand. Es ist optimistisch und bleibt selbst in schweren Zeiten positiv und entspannt.
Es ist genügsam, liebt aber auch den Genuss.

Die Erde bildet die Grundlage für Wachstum und Leben. Dies begünstigt Veränderungen und Wachstum in einem moderaten Mass.

Die Kombination aus der Zielorientiertheit der Erde und der Lebensfreude des Schweins kann sich in allen Lebensbereichen günstig auswirken. Es ist ein Jahr, um persönliche Bindungen und Gemeinschaften zu stärken. Im Beruf verspricht das Erde-Schwein-Jahr positive Aussichten, denn die zielführende Erde hilft, die Ideen des Schweins in die Tat umzusetzen.

Traditionelle chinesische Neujahrsbräuche für Glück:
● Offene Tore, Fenster und Türen, um das Glück während des Festes herein zu lassen
● Nachts Licht brennen lassen, um dem Glück den Weg ins Haus zu leuchten und böse Geister abzuschrecken
● Süßigkeiten und süße Speisen essen, um das neue Jahr zu süßen
● Haus und Hof für das neue Jahr putzen, damit sich das Glück wohlfühlt und einen Platz findet.

you will never kill the desire. but through practice you can burn through the misconception that the desire must be fulfilled. so let the child mind want what it wants but let the maternal spiritual heart have final say ❤️

one of this year's goals completed!

Forearm Balance has been chasing me lately. We've been unpacking how to maintain ball and socket integrity in this posture in my current London training, it was the topic of a recent episode of Yogaland, and, well, there's this 30-minute(ish) sequence that lives on www.jasonyoga.com. Check out the blog post if you want to read all the technical info about this sequence. Otherwise, practice it here or go on and continue looking at your phone.⠀

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
In der chinesischen Astrologie beginnt am 16. Februar 2018 das Jahr des Erde Hundes. Dem Hund werden sehr positive Eigenschaften zugeschrieben, er gilt als gutmütig, loyal und hilfsbereit, er macht seine Arbeit ernsthaft und verlässlich.
In einem Jahr des Hundes lassen sich sowohl privat wie auch beruflich stabile Partnerschaften aufbauen und Netzwerke vergrößern. Jetzt ist die Zeit gekommen, in der Sie den Lohn für Ihre harte Arbeit ernten können. Die grundsätzlichen Qualitäten des Hundes - Treue, Fleiß und Zuverlässigkeit - werden 2018 noch durch das Element Erde unterstützt. Doch sollte die Gutmütigkeit des Hundes nicht darüber hinweg täuschen, dass ein Hund sich unter Umständen auch angriffig oder bissig zeigen kann.

how TCM treats hayfever:
according to TCM theory the lungs are affected easily by externally invading "wind-evils" or pathogens, particularly those entering via the nose – the sense organ associated with the lungs. these evils disturb the lungs' ability to disperse and descend the Qi and the fluids. if the lung Qi does not descend it stagnates, accumulates and eventually counterflows upwards causing sneezing. secondly dampness and phlegm can congregate and lead to nasal discharge and congestion. wind evils cause itching and within Chinese Medicine we have the phrase “no wind, no itching”. however for these wind evils to invade in the first place the patient is believed to have an underlying weakness in the Wei Qi – or defensive Qi. this ancient theory is remarkably similar to modern Western Medical theories if we understand Wei Qi as representing the function of the immune system.
therefore the treatment of hayfever according to Chinese Medicine addresses the presenting symptoms but also the underlying weakness, such that the patient’s Wei Qi is strengthened to withstand future attacks of these external pathogens.
treatment is best started 6-8 weeks before the symptoms usually occur. a combination of chinese herbs and acupuncture showed to be most effective in relieving the symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis.
