During this time of COVID-19 it is particularly important to consider all major contributors to immune health.

The Stomach, Intestines and Colon are considered Yang Organs in traditional Chinese medicine. They are also an important part of the body's immune system. In order to optimize the immune system, it is necessary to consider gut health.

Eating sufficient amounts of fiber including fruits and vegetables as well as minimizing the intake of sugars and simple carbohydrates keeps the bacteria in the gut's microbiome happy and healthy enhancing the immune system.

A regular practice of "Swaying Taoist 5 Yang Organ Exercise" as shown on the Media Page of this website will also optimize gut and Yang organ health by stimulating the physical organs in your body in a gentle rhythmic way and activating the Yang organ meridians.

The time of the Full Moon is a time of strong Yang energy at night. It is a time to take action and do things that otherwise may be overwhelming. From the Taoist perspective, it is a time when one's creative energy is peaking for the month and creative processes should be engaged in and fulfilled.

I hope the time of this full moon tonight (June 5, 2020) finds you in a creative space and with you creative juices flowing.
