This week I want to encourage you all on to set realistic GOALS on this Body Type System™ journey .

What do I mean by realistic GOALS?  Many of the people I have TYPED over the years have had either Acute, Sub- Acute, or Chronic conditions. With that in mind, as you progress on your path of self -discovery you will see different mile markers.  Some will see increased energy, flexibility, changes in appetite and circulation just to name a few.

A word to the wise – remember to re-evaluate yourself at different intervals throughout the year to make sure you are on track towards your original destination.

Until next time, enjoy the journey!

This week we will be talking about the word FOCUS.  Last week we talked about super-charging your training.  Now that your training is moving faster, you have to be sure that you maintain your course.  That takes clear FOCUS and proper goal setting.  Many people come to professionals like myself with a variety of complaints.  It is our task to see the root of all of those complaints and to set a proper goal.  This is why in Chinese Medicine we have a word of caution that reminds us not to chase butterflies, or to grab a tiger by the tail.  With symptoms and manifestations moving in various different directions, it can be very confusing on how to clearly define the root of the problem.  That key is the word FOCUS.

Start at your origin point, and that is your navel (belly button).  If you maintain your focus at your navel at the beginning of your practice and at the end of your practice, your body will have the desired results that you are seeking.

Until next time, enjoy the journey!

This week we will be talking about how to super-charge your training.  With that said, I want to go back to an old Taoist principle – do without doing.  Those of us who know a little something about cars and race cars know that you can have a superb street car with excellent mechanical conditions, but to take it to the next level to a race car, you will need to super-charge it.  How do you do that?  Those in the racing world know about NOS.  NOS injects nitrous oxide into the engine which creates a super-charging effect which allows the engine to work in extreme conditions and be able to produce propulsion beyond the normal limits.  The human body also utilizes a type of NOS in order to regulate its physiological processes.  So since we are talking about harmonizing your training, remember the acronym NOS.

N – atural Body Movement

O – riginal – this means to go back to your original way without stress, without form, without any type of preconceived notion.

S – implicity – the simpler the movements the more profound.

When the body goes into its Yin phase it will open the gate of wonders and maybe it will reveal to you some of its hidden secrets.

Until next time, enjoy the journey!

The next series we will discuss are about the specialized movements of the Harmonizing your Training exercises.

To begin, why do we call it harmonizing your training? Mainly because people around the world already do various forms of exercise. One thing I have noticed as a physician is that those who maintained a regular exercise regime at some point had injuries.  Maybe it was because of a structural defect or simply because they did not warm up properly.  Whichever the case may be, with my experience in various styles of essential exercises, I wanted to share a way for people to enjoy the benefits of their exercise program and avoid any non-beneficial side effects from long term work outs.  Therefore I developed different exercises for each body type involving warming up and cooling down.

In this next series of discussions, we will talk about the different applications of these movements and participants will receive direct feedback from me with various tips to HARMONIZE THEIR TRAINING.

Until next time, enjoy the journey!
