Qi and blood, in conversation
Traditional Chinese Medicine
The day has a weather. So does the body. Balance is a moving thing — breath, warmth, the quiet exercises that ask the river to flow again.
A first walk
- 1
Stand. Shake the wrists, the ankles, the jaw. Thirty seconds of being a wet dog.
- 2
Breathe into the belly. Imagine a warm current rising up the back, falling down the front.
- 3
Rub the ears, the feet, the space below the navel. Simple. Kind.

If a practitioner is yours to find, find one. The walk can also be this small.
