Remember Your Body is Wise
This living
breathing body
always waiting
to greet you
at the door,
always prepared
to give you
the rest you need,
always,
no matter
the long
years away,
still
wanting you,
to come home.

Change is part of our environment, and the interplay of yin and yang is evident. continue reading

Lamb and Daikon Radish Stew Recipe
This stew is a hearty, flavorful dish designed to nourish and restore balance in both body and mind. Packed with protein, lamb provides essential amino acids and iron to support energy production and immune health. Daikon radish and carrots add a boost of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, while ginger and garlic enhance digestion and provide anti-inflammatory benefits.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, this stew is a warming, yang-nourishing meal, making it especially beneficial during cooler months or for those with cold or yang deficiency. Lamb strengthens the Kidney Yang and supports vitality, while daikon radish aids digestion and helps to clear heat and phlegm from the body. Ginger and cinnamon, as warming spices, promote circulation and dispel cold, making this dish both comforting and energetically harmonizing. Enjoy it as a deeply nourishing lunch or dinner option to revitalize your Qi and keep your body in balance. continue reading
