Emotions have a great influence on our health and well-being. In Chi Kung and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), emotions are often considered the root-cause of many health  problems. Good health is about good circulation of qi – the vital life  force that circulates and supports body function. When qi is impeded or  blocked, pain can result and disease can take root.

Emotions can be translated into energy patterns that can rise,  scatter, knot, weaken, sink, or drain the body’s qi or vital life force.  Emotions are normal but problems can arise when emotions become  excessive.  Awareness and prevention are the keys to greater health. 7  Emotions meditations can help you become aware of any unhealthy  emotional energy patterns. The meditations can be used as preventive  practices to redirect, balance and restore qi flow to better support  your health.

This 7 emotions meditative awareness guide is formatted as an audio  track that will talk you through a meditative process to relax and unify  the body, mind and breath. This meditation can help you develop a  deeper mind-body connection and bring balance to disturbing emotional  energy patterns. This self-care tool puts you in control. It allows you  to take preventive measures to better support your health. Continual  practice will help you develop a deeper sense of awareness about you and  your healthcare needs.
