Course Material Sample
The practical guide blending TCM wisdom into daily life, including seasonal routines, immunity-boosting tips, food therapy, and Qi-enhancing practices.
1. Applying Dao & Yin-Yang: Balance in Daily Life
**🌞 Yang (Active) vs. 🌙 Yin (Restorative) Balance**
– Morning (Yang Time):*Wake with sunrise, exercise (Qigong/Tai Chi), eat warm breakfast.
– Evening (Yin Time): Wind down by 10 PM, meditate, avoid screens, sip chamomile/goji tea.
– Work-Life Harmony: Alternate activity (Yang) with rest (Yin)—e.g., 50 min work + 10 min stretch/breathwork.
Quick Tip: Place a warm (Yang) ginger tea on your desk; counterbalance with cooling (Yin) cucumber/mint water in summer.
2. Five Elements & Seasonal Living
Align habits with nature’s cycles to prevent disease:
Recipe Example: Winter Kidney Soup → Black beans, walnuts, goji berries, and lamb simmered for 2+ hours to nourish Jing (essence).
3. TCM Body Constitution: Know Your Type
Take a simple self-test (e.g., Do you often feel cold? Fatigued? Heat flashes?”) to identify your constitution:
– Qi Deficient: Fatigue, bloating → Eat stewed apples, rice congee, avoid raw salads.
– Yang Deficient: Cold limbs, low energy → Drink cinnamon tea, moxibustion on CV4 (Guanyuan).
– Damp-Heat: Acne, heavy feeling → Reduce dairy/spicy food; try red bean + job’s tears tea.
Quick Fix: Press Zu San Li (ST-36) daily (below kneecap, 1 finger-width outward) to boost Qi/Spleen.
4. Immunity & Preventive Care (Wei Qi)
– Daily Habit: Scrape your tongue upon waking; gargle warm salt water to clear toxins.
– Herbal Allies: Astragalus tea (for Qi deficiency), elderberry syrup (for cold prevention).
– Acupressure: Massage LI-4 (Hegu) between thumb/index finger to ward off colds.
Warning: Avoid cold drinks/foods during flu season—they weaken Spleen Qi.
5. Longevity Practices (Jing, Qi, Shen)
– Jing (Essence): Sleep before 11 PM, eat black sesame/walnuts.
– Qi (Energy): 5-min Eight Brocade Qigong daily
– Shen (Spirit): Evening gratitude journaling; avoid overstimulation.
Pro Tip: Walk barefoot on grass (Earth Qi grounding) for 10 minutes daily.
Next Steps:
– Try one seasonal recipe (e.g., autumn pear stew) this week.
– Test your body constitution
– Practice ST-36 acupressure for 1 minute daily.
