Learning to let go is important… before you run out of space for yourself & taking in new Awesome or nice stuff 🤘

Absolute f***waffle's the one most patients come into JB Acupuncture complaining about...

In all fairness, it's only being a jerk & chucking a tanty because it's fed up with playing tug-o-war all day every day against your pecs, whilst also holding up the huge heavy lump that's your head.

Moral of the story?

Stretch your pecs.
Every. Single. Day.

Or stop spending 90% of your day with your arms up in front of you; because that makes your pecs think they need to be tight AF all the time.

Retrospective apologies for the pottymouth 🤭🫣

Every clinic renovation requires a soundtrack - to maintain vague sanity whilst clearing the space ready for tradies to start tomorrow.

If you're not familiar with Therion from past classes, do yourself a favour & buy a few albums. They've had a few different vocalists over the years, so enjoy the variety of styles 🤘

Make the most of your long weekend folks! Live hard... but don't forget to balance it out with some stretching, mindfulness (even if that's just the bubble blowing meditation or watching birds on your lawn), & some exercise out in the fresh air.

The videos I made on here years ago are dodgy as, but they still play fine on your phone to take outside so you can "do a class" without me. I'll be making sure I get a bit in too in between nerding it up at a seminar on Canadian time (that's right - staying up all night)

Ohhhh.... Lorrrrd Yeah...!!
🤘🤘❤️‍🔥

This is one of my favourite metal bands for practising tai chi & qi gong to. Balancing free flow of these forms against the dissonance & erratic rhythms of their music is a pleasurable challenge 🤘

Cheers Bojan Sambolec for a conversation earlier today that inspired me to share this one 😎 If you’ve got time to practise for an hour, find their live Road to Or-Shalem set. And check out Bojan’s band Homeless Yellow too.

Happy Today folks! Remember to breathe. And rock on 🤘

One of my clients sent through this simple meditation recently. Enjoy 🙂

To explain it in a more prim & proper Chinese Medicine paradigm:
📍When Qi is stuck, you feel bound up, tense & agitated
📍Breath moves the Qi...
📍especially taking a deep breath in, then releasing it like something you really want to get rid of... which you do, coz it's full of what your body doesn't want or need any more!
📍The metal element (Lung & Large Intestine organs) governs the process of Letting Go
📍There's a limit to how often you can p**p to let s**t out, whereas breathing creates an opportunity for release thousands of times a day

Some essential Friday wise words for you folks...
.. oh & remember, my "classy" video classes are on this page & YouTube for any time you need them (which is probably more than ever thanks to Covid-stress)

🤘 because self-care rocks 🤘
