…………………………🌤️
Be soft,
the cloud said.
As I look
out my window
and take cues
from the sky
for today’s
temperament.
Be calm,
the water said
as I listen
to the lapping
against my stern wall
of stone.
Stand firm,
the tree said.
The wind of change
is coming.
Walk forward
the earth said.
As I vacillate
between which path
or neither,
to take.
Grow beauty,
the flower said.
As I criticize
the face
that stares
back at me.
Shine your light,
the sun said.
As I dim
my rainbow
with worries
and plights.
Dream gently,
the star said.
As it tries to enter
my top door
of obtrusive thoughts.
Burn intensely
the fire said.
As my heart
embers glow sadly
with past hurts.
This may be
your only chance.

………………………….👑
And I would be
the queen of my life,
had I heard
the bird song
of my soul.
Had I seen
the multiplicity
of stars
reflecting
in the dew drop,
perhaps
I would be wearing
them as my crown.

The paths that were uphill
and the paths that wandered.
While it felt as though
freedom was beyond reach,
the path was always moving,
traveling closer
to the my castle.

I close my ears
to humanity’s noise
determined
to have a day of light.
I open my eyes
to the darkness
of shadows.
And feel
as a last resort.
Feel into emotions
that blow on the wind
and ebb with the tides.
Whose emotions are they?
If I am only empty space.
The thoughts
that Emptiness ponders.

Ringing in my ear
or high-pitched frequencies
from other worlds?
This life
of gathering ailments
alongside of wisdom
is hard
to come to terms.
The sad reward
for surviving life
feels a cruel joke
played by whom?

Yet an ocean scented breath
brings a deep peace
in old age.
Youth’s folly
to appreciate
the simple joys
in a heart
that has not yet
truly broken.
The armour
of beauty
yet hollow
with false self.
The offering
of a sword
and a life forfeit
in the betrayal
of the sovereign.
Or prostration
of a blood vow
to be true to you.

I smell
an earliest remembrance
and taste my mother’s milk.
I push my crippled father
towards the exit sign.
I am young and old
and all of it in between.
The tethering of breath.
Life’s greatest mystery.

Nature’s sky paintings
never bore
the curious child.
He who reminisced
the childhood game
of the creation
of new worlds
in the constellations
of his mind.
The colours touch
his dark parts.
Opening like buds
that listen sweetly
to Bach.
He came from the heaven
and will return one day.
To the lifetime cloak
that covers him
as he lay to dream
each night.
A chance
to visit
his original home.
A tether
he will one day
call bliss.
I tell him,
don’t be afraid.
The dropping
of the density
is the ultimate freedom.
The pureness of being.
The riding of clouds. ☁️

CV4 Guanyuan meaning Gate of Origin, is the 4th point along the Conception Vessel channel. This point is where Yin essence gathers and nourishes life. Often regarded as the body’s energetic “wellspring,” Guanyuan is both a stabilizer and a source of creation.

CV-4 Guanyuan is one of the most vital points in the entire body. As a great reservoir of vitality and longevity, it nourishes essence and blood, which are the foundational energies of our being. This point is a direct gateway to our deepest reserves of power and resilience.

Think of Guanyuan as the ultimate battery charger for your body and soul. It’s invaluable for addressing any sign of depletion or aging, including chronic fatigue, low libido and the feeling of burnt out. By nourishing essence and blood, it helps to rebuild the body from the inside out, providing a foundation for long-term health.

It’s also nice to warm the point with heat, especially for women during certain times of the month.

By nourishing essence and blood, CV-4 helps to restore a deep sense of strength, courage, and resilience. It’s a point that reminds us that our vitality isn’t limitless and that we must take care of our foundation to live a long and healthy life. 🤸🏽‍♀️

Each breath since
ever I was,
floating
in the dream
outside my head.
I gather
the balloon strings
until I feel it pop.
The tear
that burns
in the fire
and the steam
that gives me form,
creates this reality
I call my life.
Villain and victim,
I play this game,
outside and inside.
Until the day
the waters
that cleanse
also birth
my new fragmented
yet ancient soul.

I contemplate.
The youth’s
wide eyes
that see clearly
and yet not.
And the aged’s
vision poor
and yet not.
Each day,
a little closer
to the end of the story.
My melting face
and body
has never felt
more comfortable
to me.
The only regret.
That I abandoned her,
who was my only
true friend.
So today
and forever
I walk and
laugh with her,
until she turns to
wax and ash.
Solace
as deep as the ocean,
knowing the mother
will envelop her.
And she will cease
and yet not.

Within traditional Chinese medicine, the summer season corresponds with two additional organ systems that play supporting roles in the balance and maintenance of the fire element in the body. These are the pericardium and the triple burner, which Western medicine does not consider to be organs.

The pericardium is the protective membrane that surrounds and protects the heart. And the triple burner, refers to the upper, middle and lower burners or areas in the body. Each burner integrates the organ systems within its area.

Both the pericardium and the triple burner energetic systems play roles in the regulation and circulation of warmth in the body along the meridians of both arms.

In terms of summer heat, ☀️ I thought Triple Burner 5 or TB5 point would be a good point to get to know as it is a very important point in Chinese medicine and is used to expel wind-heat in fever, chills, sore throat and light sweating.

TB5 is also used for pain in the arm, shoulder and neck. It is also an important point in the treatment of migraine and for treating all rheumatic diseases.

TB 5 is also commonly used for certain types of headaches. Although its use is vast, it is also used for regulating the menstrual cycle and painful periods. It can also have an incredible effect on any type of musculoskeletal pain involving rotation.

Let me know if it helps you!
