A Gentle sign

On Saturday, I decided to practice yin‑yang Qi Gong on my own — no video, nothing, just me.

I began with a warm‑up, as we do here at Rooted Alchemy, and I managed to complete the whole practice with each movement repeated 9 times — a full cycle of 9. I felt grateful to have done it fully, on my own.

Afterwards, I had breakfast. I poured myself an espresso and, before taking the last sip, I gave the cup a little circular spin to gather all the crema flavors. Just before bringing it to my lips, I looked down… and there it was: a perfect yin‑yang in the foam.

For me, it's a gentle sign, a synchronicity encouraging me to keep playing with presence and energy.
