Dear Beijing Way friends and All,

I hope this message finds you and your family well, no matter where you are now, in Beijing or your home country. It has been a very difficult time. We may not be able to avoid difficult situations but we could always choose how to respond to challenging situations.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has played a very important role in dealing with COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease) in China. My good friend Zhao Qing and I have volunteered in a project “Learn about Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Beijing Way” to share what we know about Traditional Chinese Medicine and natural ways of healing regularly at the beginning of the outbreak of the epidemic. We hope you will find it helpful in some way. We will post messages in wechat group, wechat public account and our website: www.thebeijingway.com

Today we will start from an overall introduction about Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the Lung meridian.

Overall Introduction:

① The human body has 12 meridians and there are 12 months in a year.  

② The human body has 24 vertebrae in the back and there are 24 solar terms in a year.

③ Meridians: Decide about life and death; illnesses occur in the human body as the meridians are not running well; illnesses get healed because of the functioning of the meridians.

④ The human body has eight extra meridians (pre birth)

12 meridians (after birth)

⑤12 meridians:

Lung, Large intestine, Stomach, Spleen,  Heart, Small intestine, Bladder, Kidney, Pericardium, Triple Energizer, Gallbladder, Liver.

All illnesses result from Qi, all illnesses originate from Blood! Qi and Blood circulate in the meridians, if the meridians are running smoothly, all illnesses will not come!

The Lung Meridian: The beginning meridian of the 12 meridians; it controls Energy and Breath.

There are altogether 11 acupoints from the chest to the hand.

Among them, 8 acupoints are commonly used for acupuncture, moxibustion and massage:

Front-mu point

Luo-connecting point

Xi-cleft point

Well point

Ying-spring point,

Transport point

River point 

He-sea point 

It mainly regulates:

Respiratory, immune system;

Sensitivity, rhinitis, skin;

Cold, body heat, sweating;

Dryness, excessive phlegm, sore throat, etc.

It works very well to dredge the Lung meridian by patting the meridian.

Tips:

Let’s try doing the following rather than panicking about the epidemic situation.
 
Every morning, when you wake up:
1. Click the teeth 36 times
2. Twist your wrists 36 times and your ankles 36 times
3. Rub your belly 36 times
4. Stretch yourself 36 times
5. Get up and have a cup of warm water
6. Practice Baduanjin or Yijinjing
7. Pat the meridians
8. Do reading and have a chat
9. Bask in the Sun, just do nothing for a while

(To be continued…)

It has been a very difficult time. I have some reflective thoughts about our life and the place we live now. There have been low emotions for a while. It is especially painful to think about those people who passed away due to the corona virus outbreak. Last week, a group of friends gathered online and had a discussion about death.

I started to realize death is part of life. It is the truth. And sadness is part of life too. I shall not take it as a burden or ignore it. We may not be able to avoid difficult situations but we can always adopt the right attitude. We could choose to respond to any challenging situations a better way.

My friend Zhao Qing and I have been posting messages about Traditional Chinese Medicine in WeChat in the past few weeks regularly. We want to share our love and passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine, self-healing capacity, knowledge, experience and small tips! We hope you find it helpful in some way especially during the tough times.

Today we will begin with overall introduction about the meridians in our body.

The Beijing Way Experience is proud to participate in a few Christmas markets in Beijing by end of 2019 to help our Tibetan friends to sell Qu Ke An Da, the very tasty hand-made Tibetan Candy. It takes Tibetan cowgirls three days and three nights to make the precious Qu Ke An Da out of Yak’s milk above 4,000 meters above the sea level all the way from Qinghai Tibet Plateau. It is the Taste of Love. Every sold bag of Qu Ke An Da helps the Tibetan cowgirls to find meanings in their life, improve their community and help the colorful Tibetan culture live on. The beautiful holidays remind us of the meaning of life which is not only gaining but also giving back. Thank you so much for All your kind Support and Love for the Beijing Way Experience in 2019. We wish you All a very exciting, beautiful peaceful New Year!
