From the Chinese calendar on Feb. 4 with Chun Li, which means we get in early spring and the first day of the new year. The vision to start the year with the onset of spring has its own logic in giving the same year cyclicity and stamina of all living beings.

The cycle of exactly how the cycle of life: a first time for development and growth with the spring, summer solar maximum expression, and slow decay of the initial fall and internalization and finally with death ' winter.

The organ connected to the month of February is the lung, his pet related is the tigre and its time is between 3 and 5 am.

With an inhale it enters the world with an exhale you leave this world. Breathing is connected with the life of the human body and also with the material aspect of life: the duality that is nothing but the law of yin and yang . If you do not accept and use both parts, you lose your balance and strength. A time to inhale-exhale for one, a time to make a non-doing, a time for everything by listening and without falling into the mechanical nature of the act, but by exploiting its potential.

Breathing has always been considered the most important focus of work of all the most ancient martial arts, yoga and qi qong. Although an automatic function of the body is performed through the use of will and concentration, and to date still not considered and used in the common Western education.

Cha said of Tigre, in classical mythology esoterically represents the duality of good and evil, creation-destruction. While in Chinese philosophy with the famous saying "ride the tiger", he sees an opportunity to leverage our aggressive nature, the wonder dangerous animal and making it gentle. An act of complete control, and of great potential power of choice, nothing to do with the vision of 'lamb that nothing else can do but be gentle. A goal that is contained in every martial art: putting violence in the service of non-violence.

Finally, the time is special, is the time when the dawn will come, but it still feels far away or only partially its light. I n this time many people wake up and can no longer go back to sleep. I do not think a case, we consider it as an impatience of the body to wake up, presumably given by overloading or over-excitement or overstimulation.

The lung is the first channel of energy circulation and receives the baton from the channel above it, the liver, which, as we saw in the previous month, that's what keeps more and tends to go live and then the excess. To work on This type of insomnia you need to work on the liver and its related organs and not only on the lung just as in all forms of asthma.

The diseases that affect the lungs from colds are helped by the direct treatment of the lung channel. Do you think that with the simple point LU 9 (shu point of the channel of the lung) (in English Lung meridian), you run a winter seasonal treatment according to the method applied to the channel of the I Ching Lung, useful as a preventative.

In acute cases it is useful to work in association with the spleen with which the lung forms the great canal called Tai yin or yin of the top layer on which it is possible to treat forms catarrose and excessive mucus production. Recall that the lung is also directly connected with the large intestine with which it forms a bond of organo-bowel, internal-external and with which it is possible to facilitate the elimination through the feces of the excess heat format due to the acute pathology.

Finally, the lung is connected to the urinary bladder, which is its opposite clock than the clock or if you prefer the Chinese calendar. The treatment in the acute phase of this channel may also favor the elimination of excess re-heat the urine, and drenandolo riequilibrandolo exactly like the herbal remedies focused on acute respiratory tree.

As I said in other posts that this organ is the lung suffers incredible cold, dryness and sadness that his emotion. One way to help is surely to reduce and if possible to avoid the smoke and smog and breathe clean air . And also to avoid excessive dryness caused by heaters that this season they are often full throttle. Finally, do not feed the emotion of sadness as an act of attachment to what we lost. In summary do not shake your fists groped to regain what the hand is gone.

Let go and let flow also suffering something else will fill not only our hands but also our inner exactly like the air in the lungs.

It is only water, in one of its many forms ... It consists of tiny droplets suspended in the air.

The items are wrapped in a whitish halo, and visibility is reduced, the forms appear almost softened, time seems to undergo a short suspension.

A feeling of silence spreads around to us and also within reach.

When the fog is very thick produces a mixture of confusion, pleasure, sense of mystery.

Look through a memory but I can not see clearly, the details fade away in the folds of time, I would like to know, but I do not know. I would understand, but I do not understand.

Something we did not anticipate coming sometimes as a simple sea breeze and can dissolve the mist, showing the forgotten truths, vibrating strings dormant.

It can have a surprising power. The images are more crisp, clean lines.

Getting up in the air then is able to grasp anything with their eyes, the details get smaller but the world is manifested in all its breadth and beauty.

A comprehensive fills us with the lungs, large eyes like everything that they can embrace as large as all that the heart can feel.

Past, future and all distances seem, for a moment, gather in one place, and an overwhelming joy pervades us.

The thin air and cold water tastes martial.

We and only we, suspended in the air without a doubt, with the power intensity.

But then the wind drops, the fog spreads everywhere, and a new fear arises. When you lose the horizon, all communications must be clear.

Let my heart will not lose the track that leads me back to the ancient mansion.

The first time I was really young, just thirteen years.

I was with my cousin and he was only eleven.

"Look," I said, "I frigates from the bag of my mother!"

Although more than two years younger than me, it was he who invited me to smoke my first cigarette. Only eleven and thirteen, is crazy as I recall.

We locked in the bathroom, we opened the window and ... go with the cigars.

We did not even swallow the smoke, but we felt great, was our first act of emancipation, of affirmation and rebellion.

The taste, I well remember, was infamous, but was rather the sense of transgression of the forbidden to incidersi in my memory.

The second time was even more exciting, I was on vacation in Morocco, with my sister and Anna, her friend. I was fourteen, and their seventeen. Anna was a really nice girl and I was not that a little kid, to my eyes, she was already a grown woman and ended for me and totally inaccessible.

In the evening he enjoyed making fun of:

"So little man, When 'is that you come in my bed? I'll wait! We could do with madness! "

I danced around in her nightgown, laughing heartily. I was very shy, blushing like a tomato and I was absolutely incapable of uttering a word.

My sister had to study for exams at the time of recovery in September, so I had the privilege and honor to accompany Anna to the sea.

The waterfront was dangerous and we were virtually alone on this vast sandy beach of the Atlantic Ocean.

In the absence of my sister, Anna became more sensual, mysterious, less exuberant and more warm towards me. One day he had placed his towel next to my side, was lying on her stomach with a book in her hand, her long, curly red hair and sunglasses on her nose. I confess that I was crazy.

Suddenly turning to me, lowered his glasses and literally jumped into my eyes. It was so close I could feel her skin touching mine. I had never shared a similar intimacy with a girl. Imagine the fullness of her breasts, wonderfully designed by her swimsuit. His smell, his breath, the warmth of his body, had a 'blast in the wake of my five senses. (more ...)

Respiration is a physiological, mechanical like the heartbeat, which is a function of vital importance to our survival. There is therefore a mechanism in each body anatomical physiological able to ensure the respiratory function independently of the will, supported by said vegetative nervous system.

But there is a chance to interact voluntarily breathing, enhancing and modulating the length of the different respiratory phases, which are four: the inhale, your lungs filled pause, the breathing, the lungs empty pause.

In this movie the Master Iyengar, considered one of the most influential yoga masters living, you can see how adaptable the ability to lengthen the inhale and exhale.
