🐎🔥 Happy Lunar New Year – Year of the Fire Horse 🔥🐎

As we step into the Year of the Fire Horse, we enter a season of momentum, courage, and bold forward movement.

The Horse symbolizes vitality, independence, and drive. Fire adds passion, visibility, and intensity. Together, this energy asks us one important question:

Are you moving with purpose… or just moving fast?

In Eastern philosophy, Fire connects to the Heart: the home of Shen, your spirit, your clarity, your presence. The light behind your eyes.

When your spirit is steady:
- You lead with confidence.
- You act with intention.
- You inspire others naturally.

When your fire is scattered:
- You burn out.
- You react instead of respond.
- You lose direction.

The Fire Horse year isn’t about chaos.
It’s about disciplined power.

This is the year to:
- Move forward boldly
- Say yes to growth
- Protect your energy
- Strengthen your spirit
- Act with courage and clarity

In your life, your business, your health, your relationships momentum is building.

The question is will you harness it… or let it run you?

Slow down enough to stay centered. Move fast enough to grow. Keep your spirit bright but rooted.

Here’s to a year of strong Heart energy, clear direction, and purposeful movement.

- Run with intention.
- Lead with spirit.
- Happy Lunar New Year.

Acupuncturists --- serious question.

Are you actively cultivating your own qi…
Or are you only moving your patients’?

If you’re not training your own internal practice, you’re limiting your clinical power.

This Medical Qigong Workshop is about tools not choreography.

We’re breaking down the Six Healing Sounds and showing you:

• How sound resonates with organ systems
• How breath + posture regulate the nervous system
• How to build a repeatable internal cultivation routine
• How to translate this directly into patient education and clinical expertise

This is about embodiment.
Better presence in the treatment room.
Better patient compliance between visits.

Stronger long-term outcomes.

And yes — it qualifies for NCCAOM PDAs.

Can’t attend live?
You’ll receive the full recording within 24 hours.

If you care about longevity in this medicine…
If you care about impact…
If you want to move beyond being a technician…

This is for you.

Most people don’t have a sleep problem.
They have a nervous system that forgot how to turn off.

You don’t need another pill.
You need a reset.

I just dropped a guided Qigong sleep session designed to help your body remember how to rest using slow breathing, body scan, and deep grounding.

No effort. No overthinking. Just lie there and let it work.

If you’ve been “tired but wired”… this is for you.

🎧 Try it tonight and tell me how you feel in the morning.

Sometimes when people hear “teaching,” they picture kids.

But teaching Tai Chi and Qigong is really about something bigger than age.

It’s about learning how to guide people,
adults navigating stress,
older adults wanting balance and confidence,
patients rebuilding strength,
communities looking for connection,
and yes, sometimes even younger students learning how to slow down in a fast world.

Instructor training isn’t about becoming a performer at the front of a room.

It’s about developing the skill to meet different bodies, different nervous systems, and different life experiences with presence and clarity.

That’s the real work.

Our instructor program focuses on how to teach safely, responsibly, and in a way that adapts to the population in front of you — not a one-size-fits-all routine.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to go deeper in your practice and eventually share it, this is the kind of foundation that makes that possible.

Not for everyone.
But very meaningful for the right people.

Feeling the weight of the world lately? You’re not alone.

When headlines are constant and tension feels high, it’s easy for our nervous systems to stay stuck in stress mode. But calm isn’t something we wait for the world to give us — it’s something we can train.

In the newest episode of The My Metro Medicine Podcast, I talk about how Tai Chi and Qigong help us stay steady, grounded, and clear-headed even when things around us feel uncertain or overwhelming.

This isn’t about tuning out. It’s about building the internal stability to respond instead of react for our health, our families, and the people we serve.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, this episode is a reset.

Absence forms in every moment of our lives.
Some big, some small.

Its reverberation soars across the world.
But first, it echoes within our soul.

Loss, undeniably painful, is a gift.
One we thought should never be given.

Guttural screams and endless tears released from our orifices will never resolve the pain.

Becoming the true release where loss and healing live together in harmony.

What once was, no longer is.
Existence is now emptiness.

A blossom watered by tears of pain and shined upon by rays of memories.

Mourn every loss.
Love every tear.
Those in front patiently await you.

Not everyone who practices Tai Chi is meant to teach it.
And not everyone who feels the call should rush into it.

This instructor training is for people who want to:
• Deepen their own practice
• Learn how to teach responsibly
• Grow into leadership at a steady pace
• Share Tai Chi without losing its integrity

The next Tai Chi Instructor Program begins in February.
Registration is open through January 31.

No hype. No pressure.
Just an invitation to explore what’s next.

Here's a thought...

👉Thought......when Qi circulation becomes asymmetrical on opposite sides of the body, it effects the body's ability to produce a healing and homeostatic resonance/response.

🤔New Thought......if the human body suffers from a one-sided disorder, does this lead to secondary or internal disorders downstream (while attempting to generate proper balance across each side)? (Effects similar to the results of this video...)

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

In Tai Chi, we don’t force movement.

We settle, listen, and respond when the timing is right.

Today is the final day for early registration for the Tai Chi & Qigong Instructor Programs, including the 50/50 early registration discount.

If this training has been sitting quietly with you, this is simply an invitation to pause and listen.

When the body says “yes,” action feels calm, not rushed.

If you’re not there yet, that’s okay.

Standard registration remains open through January 31.

Move when it’s clear.

01/14/2026

If you’re still sitting with the idea of instructor training, this is simply a moment to check in with yourself.

Not every hesitation is a “no.”
Sometimes it’s just waiting for clarity.

Early registration for the Tai Chi & Qigong Instructor Programs ends tomorrow (January 15).

If you already know this training is aligned for you, early registration supports planning, preparation, and a smoother start.

If you’re still unsure, you have time—enrollment remains open through January 31.

No pressure.
Just an invitation to choose consciously.

Thank you to everyone who joined last night’s Tai Chi & Qigong Instructor Training interest meeting.🙏

I appreciate the thoughtful questions, honesty, and curiosity you brought into the space. These conversations are exactly why I host meetings like this. So you can make an informed decision, not a rushed one.

If you’re still reflecting, that’s completely appropriate. This training is meant to be entered with clarity, not urgency.

I’ll be sharing next steps and reminders over the coming days for those who want to continue exploring.

Thank you!!
-Dr. J 👍😎👍
