Summer is the season with the most vigorous yang energy of the year, with bright sunshine and a vibrant earth. According to the four seasons health principles of traditional Chinese medicine, which are "nourishing the liver in spring, nourishing the heart in summer, nourishing the spleen in summer, nourishing the lungs in autumn, and nourishing the kidneys in winter", attention should be paid to regulating and nurturing the heart meridian and mind in summer.
Summer mind nourishing, the first priority is to adjust the mind
Essence, Qi, and Spirit are the three treasures of the human body, with God being the most special. Essence and Qi can be supplemented through traditional Chinese medicine and dietary therapy, but God cannot be supplemented through external intake and can only be nourished through daily adjustments.
Modern people are prone to mental exhaustion due to their frequent engagement in mental labor and prolonged exposure to fast-paced and high-pressure lifestyles. Unlike physical workers who have "surplus but insufficient strength", mental workers often experience a state of "surplus but insufficient strength", resulting in symptoms such as slow thinking and response, confusion, and confusion.
God should nurture but not consume
The following is an introduction to the summer mind nourishing guidance and mind regulating formula. Through targeted daily guidance, the heart meridian can be guided to nourish the mind.
The method of guiding the mind meridian by relieving the Yin meridian of the hands can achieve the effect of nourishing the mind and spirit. For those who have been sitting at a desk for a long time, feeling tired, and restless, it has the function of stretching muscles, promoting qi circulation, and calming the mind.
According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the heart governs the gods. Without proper nourishment, the heart can easily lead to restlessness and disorder, making it difficult to concentrate. Therefore, practicing this trend also helps to nourish the mind, concentrate, and improve concentration.
