I just published “Epic Qigong for Inner Power,” a DahnmuDo Qigong practice designed to help you reset your nervous system, calm your mind, and return to your natural resilience. Dahn means pure vital energy, red, and often is in reference to your lower dahnjon (2nd chakra). Mu translates to limitless, and references your middle dahnjon for emotional maturity (4th chakra). Do is the Tao, the way, and references your upper dahnjon (6th chakra). Dahn Mu Do translates to "the way to limitless energy" that when mastered helps your mind, body, heart, and spirit harmonize as one energy. Qigong has been one of my most reliable tools for staying grounded while leading through chaos. If you need a moment to breathe and reconnect, press play. Access a Dahnmudo Qigong playlist at the end of the video.

It's been wonderful to be off the socials for many months, basking in nature's brilliant yellow and bright red autumn leaves since Equinox as days grow darker. When a friend of mine had late stage cancer, she shared how by merely walking in nature 3x/week, changing nothing else about her routine, she was able to lower her blood pressure down significant levels. In Japan, doctors prescribe "forest bathing", the art of slowing down using all your senses, to connect with your surrounding environment more deeply. Studies show how slowly walking in nature reduces stress, improves mood, lowers blood pressure and heart rate, and boosts immune function. In short, nature heals. Rain or shine, by communing with nature's generous spirit, never judging, giving you good vibes, absorbing your stress, you too can benefit from even a few minutes. Enjoy the magic of Autumn of gently falling leaves in this video I made for you. (Not the best steady camera work but you'll get the jist!) Get outside this week! Then share a pic below of something beautiful you witness.

Do you have a pet? If yes - what might your pet say about you? If not, thought about it? what pet might you get? I do not currently, but have had wonderful dogs around m [I don't think I am home enough for a dog]. The emperor Tiglath Pilesur (our most recent wonderful dog, named by my husband) would have said I was great for lounging around with, but could have taken him out to play more.
