The post Five Element Fridays – Same/Same Relationships Like Metal and Metal – 5EF21 appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

The Only Condition For Presence Is Love Itself… What is most important in your life? In this episode we take a different look at the COVID-19 Pandemic. Not one of fear, but one of presence. The ability to access the NOW moment. Most of us have never been given the opportunity to put ourselves first in our lifetime. We invite you to join us and discover what we can become and how much love we can feel.

"We're coming back to what's most important in our lives. We want to encourage everyone who's listening to take a step back and just pause, just breathe."

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about:

• The COVID-19 Pandemic
• What is most important in our lives?
• Putting yourself first
• The Wandering Daoists
• How the different Elemental Energetic types deal with all of this
• Where presence comes from

Thought Quotes:

"Fear is the number one thing that takes us out of being present."

"It's not really that the now moment is powerful. It's just that it's where we should be. And the more time we spend in the now moment, the more enjoyment we feel in life."

"If you take care of yourself, even just a little bit, you're way more helpful to everyone else."

The post 074 The Wandering Daoist: Presence appeared first on Inspired Action Podcast.

In this episode we talk about how Gua Sha and Acupressure can prevent your cold or flu from going deep into your body. Leta gives acu-points, Gua Sha techniques and other suggestions for self-care during this world health crisis. During uncertain times, it's important that we tend to ourselves. If you've been listening to us for a while, you know the importance of water, food, sleep, exercise, and meditation. Self-care can help reduce symptoms of colds, flu, and viruses.

"How do we feel safe and secure and loving and not go into that fearful place that is happening right now?"

By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod, we talked about:

• How to care for yourself in a Pandemic
• What is an External Pathogenic Factor (EPF)?
• What are Wind, Phlegm, and Heat symptoms?
• How Chinese Medicine can help you stay safe and healthy
• The "Bouncer" immune system metaphor
• Gua Sha techniques and how they can help prevent the cold and flu
• A lesson on Acupressure points that can help prevent the cold and flu

Thought Quotes:

"Change is going to happen. In Chinese Theory they say change is like the wind, and when the wind blows fiercely things have to change… and the wind is really picking up right now."

"The symptom we feel isn't the cold… it's our body's best attempt to tackle the cold and expel it before it enters the body."

"Stress and fear can actually deteriorate the immune system. And being in a positive state of mind is always a good place to be."
