How to boost your immunity for Spring and Autumn
As with nature, our bodies physically adapt to the change of the seasons.
Autumn is a time where your energy contracts in preparation to protect your vital organs during the colder temperature.
Whereas with the rising energy of Spring, like the trees pushing out leaves and blossoms, your energy expands and it’s a time to nourish.
The foundation of Chinese medicine is based on these natural movements, especially in relation to your organs.
You can boost your immunity and balance your body to support these changes with profound but simple martial arts, Physiotherapy, breathing and acupressure techniques that, once learnt, you will have for life.

Autumn
Lungs & diaphragm
In Chinese medicine the lungs include the entire respiratory system, and the mechanism that brings oxygen in all the way to the cells and the release of carbon dioxide from the cells all the way out through the nose and mouth.
The lungs are a primary source of energy, along with the stomach, spleen and kidneys, but they are also considered a “tender organ”, vulnerable to external pernicious influences, especially during autumn and winter.
The diaphragm, the most important muscle in our breathing process, is considered a major pump, which moves the lungs energy downwards and outwards, from the centre to the periphery.
It’s main action is of dispersing energy outwards and generates our Defensive Chi, called Wei Chi – a protective layer of energy that circulates the space between the skin and the muscles and it can be considered as a force field, just above the entire body surface.

Spring
Liver
Spring is the season of the liver.
There’s no better time to wake it up with a Liver Reset self-massage to reset this powerful organ.
This organ in Chinese Medicine is responsible for the smooth flow of Qi in the body and mind. When the flow of Qi is uninterrupted your emotional and physical state of being is in balance, your organs can function well and your health is good. You are in a place of harmony.
Like the director or an army general in the body, the liver is the origin of our courage, determination and gives us direction in how we advance in our lives. If you have a healthy liver you can make good decisions, be in control, calm and confident. If you have a liver that is stagnant or depleted you can be depressed, angry, impatient and very stressed. You be the judge! How’s your liver?
Your liver provides you with a sense of overall bodily nourishment, especially your eyes, tendons, muscles and nails.
Its state of health directly affects your energy level, your mood and consequently your well-being. Reset your liver’s power!
