The Mystical Silence

There is a mystical silence so startling that it is likened to a scream. It is so strong that when you experience it, it is felt, almost physically, but there is no sound, no movement, just a palpable stillness. It is empty, but something very noticeable is there. It feels like a threshold, as if you are about to experience something holy.

To look for it sit in a quiet space and listen with both ears. Do not close your eyes. Try to hear something that is there but very quiet. If you begin to succeed your eyes might look upwards searching in the emptiness, yearning for the mystical experience that we can sense is there, but can never grasp.

“Of You silence is praise”[i]

When the world is still, there is an opportunity, a moment to see something that has always been here but we had not been aware of. In silence there nothing to distract.

“Commune with your heart upon your bed and be still.”[ii]

[i] Psalms 65:1
[ii] Psalms 4:5

Lung and Large Intestine Clearing Program

August 15 - 29, 2016

Autumn and the energy of autumn have long been tied to the lungs and large intestine, according to traditions from ancient Chinese Medicine. Because the energy of the lungs and large intestine is more active or dominant in winter, this is an excellent time to support these critical organs with Natural Chi to clear any stagnation or blockages.

The lungs are responsible for the act of breathing: bringing oxygen from the atmosphere into the blood stream and allowing the entire body to expel carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. Practitioners of Chinese Medicine also consider the lungs to be responsible for maintaining the water content in the body. The lungs do this in two ways: by evaporating the water from the blood and moving out the excess through the nose and the pores of the skin (the water "goes up," according to the ancient Chinese); and by extracting water from the air and condensing it (causing it to "go down," as the Chinese would say). This condensation goes into the blood stream and provides moisture to the skin and all the cells of the body. Some of it flows to the large intestine, which is a vital organ for moving waste out of your body. The large intestine is responsible for extracting excess water from the food you eat to prepare it for elimination and transporting food waste from the stomach out of the body.

The Lung and Large Intestine Clearing Program is a profound two-week program that will result in the following benefits:

Physical benefits:
• Improvement in breathing and in your overall respiration system
• Help in breathing freely and deeply
• Relief of breathing issues such as asthma and allergies
• A feeling of breathing easier overall
• Reduction of dryness of skin tissue
• Relief of chronic skin issues
• Control over wet or damp skin conditions, such as damp hands or feet
• Lessening of bloating or fullness in your abdomen
• Relief of constipation, diarrhea, and urination issues
• Strengthening of your immune system
• Feeling stronger overall

Emotional benefits:
• A more balanced emotional state
• Relief from grieving, hopelessness, and sorrow
• Peace of mind

Spiritual benefits:
• Sense of being whole, balanced, and supported
• Increased clarity
• Feeling at ease
• Being at peace

If your lungs are weak and cannot adjust and balance the water content in your body, then your large intestine will lack vitality and will not be able to function properly. The result could be chronic constipation or diarrhea. If your large intestine is blocked or sluggish, this could result in lung imbalances and weakness such as laryngitis or asthma.

Every day for the two weeks of the program, Tienko Ting will remotely clear your lungs and large intestine using chi energy. This remote program is an opportunity to achieve a seasonal clearing of these essential meridians and organs.

The cost of the program is $300.
