Slow, intent, sensing the space around and the space within…and moving from the core……being one….Qigong and Taiqi Chuan are meditation in motion…incredibly unique to Asian tradition….

The Chief of "100 Diseases": Spring Health Wisdom

I often find myself shaking my head when I’m out around town. As soon as we get a few warm days, it seems everyone is lured into a "dress down" frenzy. Despite temperatures lingering in the high 40s to low 50s, I see people in T-shirts, shorts, and even sandals.

While the sun feels good, this premature change in wardrobe is an open invitation to illness. In Classical Chinese Medicine, we view spring weather—specifically the wind—as a potential pathogen that can pe*****te the body’s defensive layers.
The Seasonal Shift

During the winter, our pores close tightly to conserve heat. As spring arrives, they begin to open to release internal warmth. Think of the budding trees: when a premature warm spell is followed by a sudden cold snap, nature momentarily freezes. Your body reacts the same way. When we underdress, the wind "breaks through" our immunity.

On the back of the neck and shoulders, there are specific acupuncture points particularly vulnerable to these elements. Appropriately, they are named "Wind Gate" and "Wind Pool."

Potential Impacts of Exposure
Beyond lowering your immunity to the flu, failing to protect these areas can lead to:
• Stiff neck and shoulders
• Recurrent colds
• Joint pain and inflammation
• Tension headaches

Practical Spring Tips from The Harbour Clinic

• Master the Art of Layering: Choose clothing that can be easily removed as the day warms, but prioritize keeping your neck and lower back covered.

• The Scarf Rule: Even if you opt for a lighter shirt, keep a scarf nearby to shield the "Wind Gates" on the back of your neck.

• Wait for the "Double 15": Traditional practitioners often suggest waiting until the temperature is consistently above 15°C (59°F) for at least two weeks before fully committing to a spring wardrobe.

Be well, protect your health, enjoy seasonal spring foods, and try not to get too caught up in the daily "cyber drama."

Be well,
Ken and Diana The Harbour Clinic

Over 400 years before Jesus walked the Earth, Mo-Tzu posited a universal love for all humans as the greatest benefit to society. There is so much wisdom in the world that is ignored. You can still read his writings. Love your neighbor...or others who don't look or talk like you too! kh
