I am experienced in giving and receiving hands-on therapies and I have been lucky enough to meet and work with Misty. She has sensitive hands and nature and works as an instinctive therapist.
There are three dan tians in the body. The upper dan tian is situated between the eyebrows, also known as the third eye. The middle dan tian is in the middle of the chest, the heart area. The one we refer to most often in Qigong and Taiji practice is known as the lower dan tian. It translates as elixir or cinnabar (dan) and field (tian). The lower dan tian is where qi (energy) is cultivated and stored and then circulates throughout the body.
Taking care of you while caring for others.
There is a growing need to understand the importance of self care, without it we are unable to offer our care to others. In particular, many people working in health care settings as well as family caregivers are struggling to maintain balance in their own lives and enduring increasingly stressful situations.
Our lungs are continually nourished by our breathing. Integration of breath, movement and attention offers an effective way of clearing and revitalising not only our lungs but all the meridians in our body.
Breath has its own vibration which extends to sound, even the words for our breath's process, inhalation and exhalation contain the root word 'hal' meaning wholeness. Bringing awareness to our breath reminds us that we are here and can help us to feel grounded and present.
