The National Weather Service
issued excessive heat warnings
for wide areas of central and
eastern United States, saying
that the combined heat and humidity
could push the “real feel” temperature
to 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 Celsius)
through Saturday.
The thermometer hit 91F (33C)
but it felt more like 112F (44C),
according to AccuWeather.com.
By the weekend, the heat wave
is expected to cover half of the
United States and affect nearly
150 million people.
‘DANGEROUS HEALTH RISK’
The low pressure system that
barreled east was expected to bring
powerful thunderstorms with hail
to northeastern states.
“Do not take this threat lightly,”
the National Weather Service
warned.
The extreme temperatures
are particularly dangerous.
When it gets that hot it’s really
important to stay hydrated, we
all know the importance of drinking
water, but there are some other
important things to know to keep
us from de-hydrating.
Drinks like alcohol,
soda,other high sugar drinks,
and even coffee will dry you out.
Pure H2O is the safest to drink
and water with electrolytes will
keep you cool and
well hydrated.
Eat fruit– this will also
help to cool your
body off, my favorites are:
-plums
-peaches
-grapes
-pears
-watermelon
Here are a few of my formulas
for cooling yourself down
when it’s this hot.
Buy an organic pineapple;
it’s really important that the
pineapple is organic. Pineapples
are so sweet and bugs love them
as much as we do, so they spray
them with poisoned chemicals,
lots and lots of sprays! When I
lived in Hawaii, you would see
them spray them all the time. My
friend Gail used to go down to the
tide pools that were below
the pineapple fields to soak every day.
Although the fields were a hundred
feet above little did she know that
all that poison was leaching down from
the pineapple field into the pools.
Before she knew it she was sick
from toxic poisons. She is still
beautiful on the outside, but her
internal organs are all suffering.
So make sure you get an Organic Pineapple.
cut off the outside skin and instead of
throwing it in the basket, wash it well
and then put it in water and boil it for
about ahalf an hour.
Then you strain it and
pour off the juice and put in the
refrigerator.
It’s a very cooling drink for the summer,
needs no sweetener and will keep you
hydrated and cool.
Another one of my special cooling summer
formulas I learned from Dr. Fu Dhi he’s
from Harbin China. Although Harbin
is one of the coldest places in China in
the winter,the summers are hot and
humid and when I went to school,
there was no air-conditioner.
This recipe is most likely thousands of
years old.
We all like ice cold watermelon, the
sweet red meat is cooling and
refreshing and people all over the
planet eat it, drink the juice and
you may think that’s the trick.
But wait there is more to the watermelon
than you would ever think.
The rind is rich in silicon and its
outer green skin is concentrated
in chlorophyll.
Rind can be used to keep you
cool as well.
You can take the watermelon rind
which is the white part, cut it up
into about one inch squares, add a
little salt and put it in the refrigerator
to cool for an hour or so.
Once it’s chilled,
you can add it to either vegetable
or fruit salads.
Also watermelon
rind can be juiced and drunk 1 or
2 oz. of the juice 2 to 3 times a day-
it will also lower your blood pressure,
but if you have a heart condition
leave out the salt.
Stay hydrated can also keep you
Young.
When I’m doing my Qi Gong practice
this time of year,
I focus on the kidneys and the spleen.
That’s the water and earth elements.

It will tonify your organs and cool
down your body mind and spirit.

The Summer Solstice
This is the longest day of the year.
Summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere
on June 21, 2011, at 1:16 p.m.
The word solstice comes from the
Latin words for “SUN” & “TO STOP,”
as the Sun appears to stop in the sky.
This is one of the most important days
of the year for Energy Work.
Like Meditation,Qi Gong and Yoga practices,
the Energy is at its highest.
In fact, if you are thinking of getting an
Acupuncture treatment, a Medical Qi Gong
treatment or any kind of Energy Work,
the Summer and Winter Solstices
(June 21 and December 21)
are the strongest days to move the Qi.
My calendar gets totally booked up a few
days before the solstice,the day of the solstice
and the week after. It seems like everyone who
knows anything about Energy work is at my office that
week to get a treatment and for good reason a treatment
done at the Solstice can last up to three months.
The six weeks leading up to and directly
after the summer solstice is ruled by the
Fire element. This is the season for a lot of fun.
The Fire Element relates to communication
and community. It’s the time when people
travel, have family reunions, plan June
weddings and spend lots of time outside
having FUN.
The Qi is moving better than
ever and we usually feel great.
As for diet:
It’s better to eat light, more fruits and
vegetables, to keep the body from over heating.
and drink lots of H2O
My Qi Gong practices are focused more on the
Yin element,as the days get hotter.
This helps to cool the body down and quit
the mind.
In China, the summer solstice was observed
by a ceremony to celebrate the earth, femininity,
and the “Yin” forces.
I’ll increase my practice of Flying Crane Qi Gong
for the next few months to build more Yin and stay cool
If you don’t know this style get this
one today it’s great.
The Chinese New Year lasts for 15 days.
This year it started on February 3rd and
the celebration is coming to an end in most places in Asia;
time to get back to work.
Chinese New Year refers to the holiday 中国新年(Zhōnɡɡuó Xīnnián),
which is often called Spring Festival in China.
Spring Festival is the most important and biggest festival in China.
During this Festival, every family decorates their homes,
and friends and family reunite.
I think it’s the only time the Chinese stop working.
When the other parts of the USA are freezing,
living in South Florida in the winter brings a lot of
friends and family my way from December until mid May.
This year of the Rabbit was no exception.
Friends visited from China and the festival
started in my home with decorations,
fireworks, special diet, drinks and offerings to
bring in the New Year.
What fun!
My friends have left Florida and are on their way back to
main land China.
But before they left they gave me some insight on what to
expect for the metal rabbit year.
They said, “It should bring you peace and tranquility”.
The Rabbit year seems to fix things and calm things down
for everyone. Diplomacy is the key word for this year.
Peaceful negotiation’s and cooperation with family and
businesses are the best answer.
Kiss and make up, forgive, and be loving.
Yesterday Lester was in my office and was telling me how
much he hated his brothers and he also was still hating his
mother and father who are long gone.
He believes they should have and didn’t fix some financial
stuff before they died and he is blaming them for his problems.
Hello Lester!
It’s time to get off of it.
Hate is the negative emotion that effects the liver the positive
emotion is kindness.
I suggested that he starts being kinder to people and himself to
untangle a situation that can’t be fixed any way.
The parents have been gone for 15 years.
When one starts putting Positive Energy into something guess
what happens?
You start bringing in a Positive Force in your life that can
transform any situation. Lester can heal his situation just by
focusing on being kind, compassionate, showing generosity
and having compassion
First of all the liver will calm down and people around him will
start responding to his kind nature instead of his
“I hate this and I hate that.” Who in their right mind wants to be
around that energy?
Not Me.
Lester asked me “where can I find more information on transforming
my negative energy into positive energy?
” Les, I have two suggestions:
1. Go to my website www.Rechargingqigong.com and sign in
and I’ll send you a killer exercise to transform your hate nature
into a kindness and it’s for Free.
2. Grab a copy of “Turn Stress Into Power
“ http://rechargingqigong.com/turn-stress-into-power.html
that will give you exact formulas and exercises to transform
your negative attitude into a positive one.
More about the Rabbit year-
The Rabbit is also very much about good taste and refinement.
Go to the theater, spend time at the spa and hit all the great
restaurants you love.
Beware the Metal Rabbit is not the cuddly, little soft ball of fur
you think of when you think of rabbits.
Metal gives this bunny a competitive, and aggressive side-
a Bunny in full armor!
I wish you the best in your Health Wealth and Happiness.
I received a deluge of calls since the beginning
of the month.
People have been freaking out and they don’t
have a clue what to do.
The first thing I ask them is, have you been
practicing and training?
For the most part they haven’t been,
I can’t believe how many different excuses I hear
as to why they can’t or why they don’t practice.
Do they think that there was some kind of entitlement
to mental and physical health without doing anything?
There are formulas in just about every culture on how
to be balanced and to stay younger and healthy.
I don’t care if it’s Buddhists, Taoists, Hindus, Christians,
Muslim, Jewish or the ancient Egyptians.
Throughout the ages people strive for longevity and
there are tried and true formulas that work.
But you have to practice.
The formulas include diet, hygiene,
exercises, prayer, meditations and rituals.
The Key is Practice.
The month of December has stressed people to the max with
the holidays. The planet Mercury has been retrograde since
December 10th and doesn’t go direct until December 30th.
This can cause delays in travel, communication and
mechanical breakdowns.
Last night there was a lunar eclipse.
That’s the eclipse of the Moon,
when the light of the Moon darkens at the brilliants of
a Full Moon.
Traditionally this has been viewed as a bad omen.
It can awaken illogical responses in people.
As a rule, women and family are generally more affected
by the lunar cycle.They say men are more affected by solar
eclipses and today is the Winter solstice.
The Winter Solstice has been celebrated in cultures all over the
world for over thousands of years.
This start of the solar year is a celebration of Light and
the rebirth of the Sun.
One of the stronger days of the year to make changes in our lives.
As we welcome in the seasons we also have a great opportunity
to shift in our body and mind.
We can use all of these astrological aspects as excuses not to
practice and make positive changes, or we can move beyond all of
our expectations and have a great shift in body, mind and spirit.
There is an opportunity to use all the energy of the planets to
propel us to have all we ever wanted.
Make a commitment to yourself to be all you can be.
Practice! Practice! Practice!
I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness

I am off to Detroit, Michigan in a few days to
spend time with my family for Thanksgiving.
I have been going through my winter stuff coats, hats, gloves, boots
and I am taking a shot or two of Shou Wu Chich a
Chinese formula, every day. You can buy it at most
Oriental groceries. It is a warming formula and
great to take all winter. It helps keep the
Kidneys strong. When you leave Flordia’s sun,even 50 is cold.
The Chinese consider it to be longevity and
sexual tonic that replenishes Qi, and vital
essence that is lost in excessive indulgence.
It is a crucial herb to nourish the blood.
Research has shown that it decreases cholesterol
levels and also improves energy levels.
Add two tablespoons to a cup of hot water for a
delicious tea or just take a few shots.
Shou Wu Chih is one of the most popular liquid
tonic preparations for men or women.
It nourishes warms and invigorates the blood,
nourishes the Liver and Kidneys and benefits
the eyes. Acts as a strong Liver and Kidney
tonic.
Strengthens the bones and tendons.
I take it all winter.
