********************************

Both western and traditional Chinese medicine recognise the importance of the spleen in our immune defence against infection.  It serves to filter blood, produce red blood cells and provide white blood cells (natural killer cells, T cells & B cells) and antibodies for your immune system.   As you age, the capability of your immune system also becomes diminished.

However, in both Qigong and traditional Chinese medicine, the Spleen is more than just an anatomical unit.  It has many other functions, especially in terms of energy.  The Spleen is a yin organ.  The other side of the coin is the Stomach (a yang organ).  Since they belong to one system, the digestive function is compromised once the Spleen is weak.  Hence, you can eat a healthy diet and yet not enjoying the best of health because your system is not able to absorb the nutrients.

When the Spleen is under stress, these are some of the common symptoms one experiences:
• fatigue, lack of energy
• hard to lose weight
• digestive &/or gut issues
• feel bloated
• weak muscles & limbs easily tired
• itchy skin, hives, eczema, psoriasis

If these issues are not addressed early and become chronic, one’s health can be seriously compromised.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, your tongue can give you some indications of your health.  The telling signs that the Spleen is under the weather:

• a vertical line (groove) lengthwise in the middle of the tongue, and/or
• half-circle indentations around the edge of the tongue (due to tongue swollen pressing against teeth)

In this workshop, you will learn:

• the factors that gradually weaken the Spleen
• the chain reaction of a weakened Spleen which causes a myriad of seemingly unrelated diseases (from chronic fatigue, digestive issues, skin problems, weak immune system to autoimmune conditions), especially during the spring season
• food therapy – food that will strengthen the Spleen and the ones to avoid during the repair phase
• 3 semi-dynamic Qigong movements to strengthen your system and a unique Sitting Qigong to remove energy stagnation from the Spleen. After this simple yet most unusual Qigong, you will feel refreshed.

This workshop will be presented by Fontane who specialises in energy cultivation and meditation practices. She is highly regarded by all those who learn from her.  She speaks about significant aspects which are rarely discussed.  This knowledge is usually not taught openly.  Take advantage of this opportunity to gain this understanding and skill to improve your health!
