It’s always a good idea to know the “weather” to be prepared, yes? That’s what I share each month in my New Moon Tea Club. This is a very interesting 🧐 time right now. Read the Room and step with caution. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/gmaR8Ml

We are going to be entering a Moon influenced by Goat Qi. What does this mean? Ask yourself, are you heading in the right direction? Are you working too hard and not seeing the results? Where are the places best for your Qi right now? — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/FVp0r4j

If you are on my email list, you know that I just spent 4 days at a Singing Retreat. I was fortunate enough to share Qigong and even though I didn’t share these specifics with this group (felt like I would be singing to the choir, pun intended!) Playing music, singing and sound is integral to traditional Chinese medicine. The Chinese word for 'medicine ' -藥 (yao) is derived from the character for music -樂 (yue), by adding the upper part 草, which refers to 'herbs'. Cool, right? We have a classic text book called the Nei Jing where each element is assigned a key (note, frequency). Again, if you have been in my world for awhile now, you know that we recognize and name 5 elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. To keep this short, I will share this: the energy and physiology of both the mind and body can be impacted by sound. I think a lot of us were exposed to Masuro Emoto’s work. With technological advancements in neuroscience (fMRI), we are gaining greater insight and understanding of the impact of sound. Mental health has been on all of our minds (no pun intended) and for good reason. Recent research shows us that if you have a decline of 40Hz activity in the brain (gamma waves), it has been identified in cases of cognitive decline, such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. If you are not on my email list, please go to my website and sign up at the bottom. I will be sharing a new course (the 1st of many) and will start with teaching you some specific sounds that you can start implementing as part of your health and wellness plan. I feel like this is my coming out party. I am ready to give my gifts and give them wide. Please help me by sharing this post and inviting folks to join my email list. In deep gratitude for our connection on this Tuesday, Dr. LeTa — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/1cqJlMn

Some look like Dalmatians! I've never seen this along my coastline before, here in Santa Cruz. Discovered these beauties on my sunset walk. I wanted to post this because they are #different and well frankly, we all are! But I love seeing them #rest and #takeanap during the day. It's the potent medicine I've been #prescribing for years. One of the #bestremedies for a #Waterrabbityear . #coastline #californiacoastline #santacruz #wilderranch #sealions #seals #dalmatians #climatechange #globalwarming — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/5AaDwoR

Prescription for happiness: Work to be your Best Self so You can help others to be their best Self. Yes? And let's always add the Yin and Yang. So the prescription for misery would be this line of thinking: I have to be better than you. This is not being a real human because it isolates you. Start With Yourself is the tagline for my business because I truly #believe that when we do, everyone benefits. I look forward to sharing my new course on Happiness soon. #startwithyourself #happinessprescription #yinandyang #bearealhuman #taoofhappy #taoofhappiness #happiness #happinesscourse #chinesemedicine — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/Gt8Xajf

OK, I know this is a loaded statement, but there is a #continuum with everything. Anything in excess will have some sort of cause and effect. We know that many things in our culture are designed for that #dopamine hit. Many say #sitting is the new #smoking. I think one of the most important things we can think about in regard to our own #brainhealth and #mentalhealth and healthy #aging - is to ask ourselves "How do I feel before, during, and afterward?". Knowing when to pause and pivot your activity is where the power lies. #stayconnected #videogames #cigarettes #smoking #pauseandpivot — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/UxvETOK
