It will soon be time for First Friday Qigong practice group! Noon-1:00. $10

This month, we will continue our discussion of:
Year 3 of the 20 year fire cycle
60 year cycle of clearing Karma
How this energy can play out in everyday life
How we can use it for our health

We will then do a series of active exercises and a meditation with chanting. No experience necessary.

Our first First Friday Qigong practice group of 2026 is this week! Friday, January 2 from noon-1:00. Cost: $10. Class is at my office:

118 SE 4th Street, Suite 100
Des Moines IA 50309

We are entering year 3 of the 20 year fire cycle, and Master Lin reports this will be the strongest. We will discuss how this impacts us, and what we can do to protect ourselves while using the energy for good.

This is also close to the full moon, plus the beginning of the year, so our active exercises and meditation will focus on releasing what no longer serves us to make room for healing energy for the New Year.

What a joyful day yesterday! Not only was it a bright, cheerful room, but the sounds of exuberant children during their indoor recess was uplifting! After several days of indoor recess due to windchills, the teachers and staff were ready for their chair massages 💆‍♀️

I love the variety of experiences I have from chair massage!

Here are some good tips from Master Lin about using water, especially in the winter, which is when the Water Element is on duty. It’s also beneficial now in the third year of a 20 year fire cycle, as Water suppresses Fire.

🔊 ALL SOUNDS START FROM THE HEART 🔊

This ancient teaching holds one of the deepest secrets of healing: sound doesn't just travel through the air—it moves through your entire energy system.

When you chant with Master Chunyi Lin and Tibetan Monks during the 7-Day Worldwide Blessings (January 4-10), here's what actually happens:

✨ The vibration goes directly to your organs
✨ Your body's intelligent Qi directs it where healing is needed
✨ Tension releases, blockages clear, peace returns
✨ The sound ripples out to your home, purifying the space
✨ Your loved ones receive the protective frequency
✨ Blessings flow to every corner of the world

This year is special: We're doing this during a 60-year cosmic gateway that amplifies the power of sound healing exponentially.

The Tibetan Monks and Master Lin bring multiple LIFETIMES of chanting practice. When you join your voice to theirs—and to 100,000+ others—you merge with thousands of years of accumulated spiritual power.

Each chant carries a unique frequency:

One for health and vitality
One for prosperity and abundance
One for love and relationships
One for protection and safety
One for wisdom and enlightenment

Healing blessings on this Winter Solstice. This marks the first day of Winter, and in Qigong 5 element theory, the transition to the Water element. It is also the day of highest Yin energy. ☯️

If Yin is at its highest, Yang is at its lowest, so we need to protect it to avoid burning that energy out so we can slowly build it up to have a healthy balance for Spring. There are several escape points for Yang, so it’s important to protect these when we go out by wearing a hat, scarf, gloves, and boots so these areas stay warm. Also keep the torso warm with a coat or vest.

We also protect Yang by keeping our exercise moderate, such as walking, so we give it enough energy to help it build, but not so much that it burns out. The same applies to food. Warming spices like ginger are good to support Yang, but hot chilis can burn it out. It’s a good time for nourishing, warm foods and beverages, like soups and hot tea.

High Yin provides an energy that supports going within. It’s a good time for meditation, journaling, and rest. Nature gives us clues, like plants sending energy down to their roots, and animals hibernating.

In 5 element theory, the elements are connected to an energy system, healing color, and healing emotion. For Water, those are the Kidneys, Dark Blue, and Gratitude. Each element has an element that supports it, and another that suppresses it. An issue could arise because of blocks to that element, or it’s too weak, or it’s too strong. Because of this, I prefer to do all 5 elements of the active exercise so I know I’m balancing everything.

Wishing you a peaceful day ✨

You know how I love my hot tea! Read on for more tips on staying healthy through winter and into spring. ☯️ 🫖

On the Winter Solstice, your food is your medicine.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, eating warm and naturally sweet foods on this day is deeply nurturing. Think warm teas, stewed fruits, and root vegetable broths. This simple act helps protect the fragile "baby Yang" energy that is the seed of your vitality for the coming year.

By consuming warm, nourishing foods, you help your body stay strong through the winter. Discover five more tips for aligning your energy with this powerful seasonal shift in our latest blog post.

Good for the kidneys, and sounds delicious 🫖

🍐✨ Autumn Pear Tea for Seasonal Wellness ✨🍐

Hello, my dear friends,

As we move deeper into autumn and prepare for winter, it’s important to care for our kidney energy—the root of our vitality in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Today, I’d love to share a simple, nourishing recipe that supports your kidneys, pancreas, and energy flow: my Autumn Pear Tea.

This gentle, warming tea soothes dryness, replenishes your system, and helps your body transition gracefully into the colder season. 🍂

Recipe (3 servings):
🌿 5 cups spring water
🌿 3 organic pears, cored & chopped
🌿 2 TBS dried goji berries
🌿 1 TBS rock sugar (or raw honey to taste)

How to prepare:
1️⃣ Bring water to a boil.
2️⃣ Add pears, goji berries, and sugar/honey. Simmer on low for 35–40 minutes.
3️⃣ Remove from heat, cool slightly, strain, and sip slowly.

A warm cup of this tea is like a hug for your kidneys and a gift to your whole body. 💛

Many Blessings,
Chunyi Lin

Today in the northern hemisphere is the , which begins the seasonal element of in the 5 Element theory.

Today, Yin and Yang are balanced, and we will be moving to more Yin dominance as we progress to the Winter Solstice.

Yin is more internal. It is a good time for inner reflection. Supportive activities are meditation, journaling, gentle yoga, reading, and mindful walking. But we still need to keep some Yang activities as well so we can maintain some balance.

Nature is also going within, so nutrients are being pulled back down into the roots. This makes it a good time to consume nourishing root vegetables.

Lungs are the organ system of the Metal element. This is a season where we see a lot of respiratory infections, so we want to support our lungs to help prevent or reduce these infections. Stay hydrated as the air gets drier, and focus on your breathing so the lungs get plenty of air.

It is also a good time to focus on , which is the healing emotion of the Metal element. It is not unusual to feel sad as the leaves fall and we move to more darkness. Being aware and remembering the good things we have can increase our contentment and help us heal.

As always, a regular practice of the Qigong 5 Element Active Exercise can help keep you in balance.

Wishing you a healthy and contented Autumn!
