Staying Healthy with the Seasons:
Summer, the Fire Element


with David Tucker, MSAOM, L.Ac., LMP

July 30


Join us for an our second installment of Staying Healthy with the Seasons with expert David Tucker, MSAOM, L. Ac., LMP. Appropriately this session, we focus on the element of Fire, the season of Summer and the meridians of the Heart/Small Intestine & Pericardium/Triple Heater. We will be taking an in-depth look at what Nature is doing this time of year and how that energy is reflected in the human body. Fire gives us love, connection, community, relationships, intimacy, laughter, control and compassion...let's explore together!

Discussion topics will include a brief look at the Five-Element Cycle, the energetics of Summer & the Fire Element, the pathways of the Heart/Small Intestine & Pericardium/Triple Heater Meridians, the deep psycho-emotional-spiritual effects of the meridians & specific points, lifestyle recommendations based on teh Fire Element & principles of Chinese Medicine.

Experiential segments will include partner work to locate primary points on meridians and know what they are used for as well as standing Qigong exercises for strengthening all aspects of the Fire Element within us.
