Our Body Knows

What to Expect

In Traditional Chinese Medicine and Qigong, our five Yin organs are the key to everything in the universe. When these organs are healed on a deep level, every aspect of our being—inside and out—thrives.

Each month, we’ll focus on one Yin organ, exploring it from every angle and using powerful, natural methods to restore it to its optimal health. By the end of the month, you’ll see profound shifts in how you feel and function.

Our journey together will include weekly sessions, each one designed to activate and awaken a specific organ using simple yet profound tools. These sessions will go deep, helping you reconnect with your body on a cellular level and unlock your inner vitality.

We’ll also guide you through a powerful purification process, incorporating fasting techniques that help cleanse and rejuvenate. Together, we’ll explore your true potential and remind you just how powerful you are.

Do You Know

According to ancient Chinese wisdom, our body is intimately connected to the vast wisdom of the universe, spanning from the beginning to the end of time. The challenge we face is that we often disconnect from the body, drifting instead into the mind, preoccupied with the past or future.

When we truly heal the body, it represents a complete journey of holistic healing. But why is that?

Over 5,000 years ago, ancient Chinese practitioners engaged in deep meditation and observation. They immersed themselves in nature, studying the stars, the moon, the sun, animals, plants, and humans. Through these observations, they realized that everything is interconnected—a truth that modern science and technology are now beginning to prove, from the butterfly effect to the intricate balance of nature.

Perhaps, if we educate the mind, we can teach it to relax. In doing so, we may realize that rushing only keeps us stuck. When the mind is calm, the body follows suit. And when the body is at ease, we can tap into the infinite wisdom it contains. For within the body lies all the information we could ever need.

Healing the Liver, Healing Anger

Let’s explore how the body is connected to everything, through the lens of ancient Chinese wisdom.

We begin with one of the five Yin organs—the liver. As the largest internal organ, the liver is responsible for circulating blood and Qi throughout the body. It is incredibly responsive, allowing us to quickly sense changes in our body. For example, if something angers us, we often feel drained afterward. Why? Because anger is closely tied to the liver.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) teaches us to diagnose our health by observing how the body reacts. If we are quick to anger, it’s often a sign of liver imbalance. The good news is that strengthening the liver can reduce our susceptibility to anger. In contrast, when we approach life with kindness and patience, we can foster a balanced liver.

So, what simple methods can we use to nurture and strengthen our liver?

Simple Ways to Strengthen the Liver

According to TCM, the liver is connected to many elements that can aid in its healing.

Element, shape, colour, temperature, texture

The liver is associated with the wood element. We can use the energy of wood to support liver health.

If we imagine the liver as a shape, an imbalanced liver might feel sharp, like a spear. A balanced liver, however, feels smooth and round. To soothe ourselves, we can surround ourselves with objects that are smooth and round.

Soft green can also play a role in balancing the liver, helping to soften our approach to life and restore harmony to the liver.

In terms of temperature, an unhealthy liver feels hot and explosive, while a healthy liver is warm and pleasant. The texture of a healthy liver feels soft and nurtured, as opposed to the roughness of an imbalanced one. A healthy liver expands gently, while an unhealthy one feels as if it’s about to burst. When the liver is balanced, its energy enfolds, rather than attacking.

Eye Movements for Liver Health

Since the liver is connected to the eyes, a simple exercise like rolling your eyes 36 times in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions can strengthen the liver. You can also try widening your eyes or giving a gentle glare. These movements not only help improve your eyesight but also reduce anger and promote overall liver health.

The Power of Sound

In Chinese philosophy, different sounds resonate with different parts of the body. To calm an overstimulated liver—like a baby’s loud cry—choose soothing sounds. For example, the sound of “Shhhh…” can help calm both the liver and the spirit. Similarly, when we speak, the words we use affect our internal state. Instead of saying “I let go of anger,” try saying, “I am happy.” The word “happy” carries a vibration that uplifts, whereas “anger” resonates with a much lower, more disruptive frequency.

The Interconnection of the Organs

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, all the organs are interconnected, and this balance is represented by the Five Elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. These elements correspond to our five Yin organs: the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Each Yin organ is also connected to a Yang organ, such as the liver being linked to the gallbladder. The energy of these organs reaches far beyond the body, linking us to the natural world around us—such as how the liver connects to the season of Spring, the direction of East, the element of Wind, and even the planet Jupiter.

Have You Convinced

Have You Convinced that by healing your body completely, you heal your entire world—inside and out?

Our body holds wisdom beyond what our conscious mind can comprehend. Can you quiet your thoughts and allow the healing process to unfold with me?

You Are a Magnificent Space

Research has shown that our body is a vast, expansive space. The gap between two cells, for instance, may appear insignificant at first glance—but it’s far from it. Our logical minds might say, “There’s no space; the cells are right next to each other.” Yet, studies reveal that the space between two cells is like a tennis ball sitting in the middle of a football field. Take a moment to reflect on that, dear reader.

Can you see how haste only leads to waste? small shift in the body can lead to incredible transformations. A tiny adjustment can heal so much in life because our body connects us to the vastness of existence. What seems like a small space to the eye is, in reality, far more expansive.

The Shortcuts

Our mind loves to do short cut, can we do a shortcut here? If you can it shortcut, here it is the way:

There are two shortcuts to restore balance to the body: One is by strengthening the kidneys, which are considered the body’s root source of energy, or Qi. When the kidneys are strong, they send healthy Qi throughout the body. The other approach is to balance the spleen, which, according to TCM and Qigong, sits at the center of the body and governs the energy flow to all other organs. If the spleen is balanced, the rest of the body can quickly restore its natural equilibrium.
