Speaker 1 (00:37):
It is May Day, or Beltane as many pagan traditions
call this time.
According to the Tongshu, whichis an ancient Chinese almanac,
may 6th is the first day ofsummer.
So just to clarify in the West,summer solstice is often
(00:57):
heralded as the first day ofsummer, but this is actually
when the days start to getshorter because yin is growing.
So summer solstice marks theheight of yang as the longest
day of the year.
This is the zenith of yangenergy.
So now, as we are right betweenspring equinox and summer
(01:19):
solstice, it's the beginning ofsummer, as we have about six
weeks left until summer solstice, when the days actually get
shorter.
So this is the time for us toreally launch into summertime
activities and doing andproductivity.
It's the time to really conductourselves in a way as nature
(01:45):
does.
So sometimes I think in theWest there's a prevalent
tendency to believe we aremagically outside of this cycle
of nature, that somehow, youknow, these agricultural
societies perhaps heraldeddifferent kinds of shifts in
(02:05):
seasonal conduct.
But now we're advanced andbeyond this idea of conducting
ourselves in accordance withseasonal chi.
But this kind of arrogance isexpensive, not only to our
personal health but to ourplanetary health.
We are part of nature and whenwe conduct ourselves in this way
(02:28):
, it brings longevity and a deepembodiment of what it means to
actually be a human being.
There is a timing to everything, timing to everything, and when
we conduct ourselves with thisfundamental idea of doing things
at the right time, it bringsabout the nourishment of our
destiny.
(02:48):
So frequently in the West qi isdefined as energy, but really
qi is about time.
It holds the changing of theseasons and moon and other
cycles as governing our conduct,and when we're in accordance
with the seasonal chi we prosper.
(03:08):
And when we disobey these chicycles it brings decline and
premature aging.
So Lu Ming would say there'stwo major causes of death the
first is birth and the second isfailure to live in accordance
with the seasonal qi.
(03:30):
So I'm going to talk a littlebit in this podcast about spring
and summer and the differencebetween those.
Where the young qi was immaturein early spring, now it's
reaching its maturation andthere is completion all around
us.
So summer's conduct canactually be more forceful than
(03:52):
in spring and certainly thanearly spring when there was very
little chi available for us.
And when we talk about conducthere, we're not talking about a
moral conduct like a Protestantor Judeo-Christian idea of right
and wrong.
This is simply resultant whenwe conduct ourselves in
(04:14):
accordance with the chi aroundus.
It brings health and longevity,and when we don't, it brings
the other thing.
So the heraldic animal ofsummer is the red phoenix, this
enormous, magical bird whoseradiance is the sun.
It's the ascendance of youngrising out of the cold, dark
(04:35):
devastation of winter.
And this red phoenix pulls alldormancy into action.
We have about six weeks beforeyang begins to decline and yin
begins its growth towards wintersolstice.
So this is a time to fully diveinto whatever it is that you
are devoting this year to and befully active in participating
(04:56):
in your growth.
It is in accordance with natureto plow full steam ahead with
projects, ideas, resolutions andplans.
The Nei Jing says the threemonths of summer are a time of
splendor and growth, when allthings fruit.
Anything is possible when wealign ourselves with the qi
available for us.
(05:16):
Now there is the possibility ofthe nourishment of our destiny,
of what it is we want in theworld.
In the botanical environment wecan observe plants becoming
themselves.
That which was dormant and notvisible in the winter is now in
its state of splendor.
So everything can flourish.
In the summertime, there'senough sunshine that
(05:39):
communication between the skyand the earth is fully activated
.
So moisture is being drawn upfrom deep within the earth by
that heavenly yang chi.
The plants that are reaching upfor the sun are using that fire
of heaven to suck up the yin,this moisture, in the ground.
This is happening all around usand we also have this
(06:01):
possibility available for us.
So this hot chi of summer iswhat can bring about the
completion of the plans andideas that we had in the spring.
On the other side, if we don'tact ourselves in accordance with
the summer chi that's availablefor us, we stumble.
Qi that's available for us, westumble the Neijing says.
(06:24):
Disobey the mandates of summerand it will bring harm to the
heart and produce fever ortrapped heat in the autumn.
Inappropriate behavior in thesummer will create deficiency at
autumn harvest.
We are part of the seasonalchange and when we follow this
dance of life we preserve ourvitality.
Even though there is so muchabundance available to us right
now, it is possible to squanderthis abundance with excessive
(06:48):
ambition, rigidity, powerseeking and aggression.
All of these kinds of emotionsdamage the heart-mind, or the
shen, we say in Chinese medicine, and this in turn leads to
premature aging.
I think we often see this inkind of like the stereotype of
(07:10):
sort of a man in his 50s or 60sthat's having heart attacks and
you know, it's just like going,going, going, working, working,
working hasn't really had thattime to rest in the winter
months.
So spring is the time when thenew ideas are generated and
summer is the time that theyreally get legs and manifest.
(07:31):
As we age, the differentiationbetween spring and summer
becomes even more vital.
So having the freshness ofsprouting new ideas in the
spring is actually what keeps usyoung.
So if we don't practice thespring newness, we get older
faster and we need to let go inthe springtime and allow
innovation in and as we age.
(07:53):
This doesn't necessarily needto be productive.
It could be restorative new,fresh ideas, but it does need to
contain that new young.
When the fresh young comes in,it starts to solidify and press
new ideas to replace the oldones and if this process fails
to take place, summer manifestsas heat damage and we can even
(08:16):
see this in the autumn, carryingthrough all the way to the
autumn.
So clinically we can see thisheat damage as premature aging
If we are conducting ourselvesthe same throughout the year,
perhaps a 40 hour a week job, 12months a year.
What is generated as successfulin the summer, in the winter
(08:40):
time, actually is an emptinessand a deficiency.
We say that a small fire warmsthe hearth and a large fire
burns the house down.
Fire is often very strong inyouth, but we must be cautious
about it as we mature so that wedo not let it blaze and deplete
our kidney chi.
(09:00):
If we cultivated yang properlyin the spring, with education,
such as visiting shamans,consulting the oracle, visiting
wise people, reading books thisis the way we can cultivate yang
in the spring Then summer'spattern of yang can be that of
acquiring and growing.
(09:21):
So it will then be moreproductive rather than being a
fire that's out of control andblazing A healthy yang in the
summertime.
It's a kind of a dominance thatcan afford a mildness and a
generosity.
Now I'm going to read a quotefrom the Neijing.
(09:42):
The three months of summer arecalled the time of splendor and
growth.
The three months of summer arecalled the time of splendor and
growth.
At summer solstice, yang chireaches an apex and yin chi
emerges.
Yin and yang co-mingle and allliving things and beings prosper
.
Yang chi energizes allphenomena and yin gives them
(10:03):
shape.
Because of this yin-yangco-ingling, all things flower
and fruit People, like allphenomena, are included.
They should follow the seasonalqi to preserve vitality.
(10:24):
I'm going to talk a little bitabout exercise.
It's just like in the springit's important to go to sleep
when it's dark and rise at dawn.
It's counseled to wear looseclothing and untied hair and do
your practice at sunrise tograsp this fresh yang chi
available to us.
This is the time to go a littlebit further in your exercise
and train a little harder andmaybe push a little bit more.
(10:45):
Out of any time in the year,sweating will help move any
internal stagnation out of usand the counsel is to then rub
the sweat into the body briskly,which helps polish the
protective qi or the wei qi.
It's strongly emphasized todrink water in the morning and
to not rise late.
(11:05):
On an emotional conduct level,this is an important time to
avoid anger and stay calm.
Lu Ming would say pushing thebody a little bit and exercise
is okay, but not the emotions.
If we are quick to anger, weinflame the pernicious side of
yang, which manifests asaggressiveness and violence.
(11:29):
As far as what to eat.
We can see all around us theseflowers that are blooming, and
they die quite quickly,especially with the heat.
Their blooming is a kind ofcelebration of this
communication between heaven andearth.
But these small flowers do nothave enough chi to last all the
(11:51):
way to the autumn.
Things that take the wholesummer to grow are more complex
and nourishing and thus stable.
So going into the autumn time,we have pumpkins and squash
which have so much chi they canbe stored all winter.
The flowers we see are harderto store, at least fresh,
(12:12):
without drying them, and it'simportant to eat a lot of greens
this time of year to replenishthe fluids and to drink water
regularly to avoid any kind ofdrying action from the summer
heat.
With children, it's important tonot force maturity too quickly
(12:33):
on them.
This is important all throughthe year, but especially in the
summertime where an immatureyoung is celebrated.
So too much exposure to mediamovies, news and magazines which
have weird content in them willcause our children to grow up
(12:56):
too quickly.
Children should beirresponsible.
This experience of innocenceand incompleteness of children
is what generates new ideas andhelps us have change in our
world.
And helps us have change in ourworld If we push kids to grow
up too fast, we get a dominantyoung.
(13:19):
As they become adults thatbecomes the energy running our
society.
It's malignant and this happensby.
One of the ways this can beencouraged is by pushing
responsibility on children tooearly Summer is the time of
passion.
Hot fire, summer chi, isassociated not only with the
(13:40):
ordinary sense of personal joybut also the pleasure that comes
in our contact with others.
So passion is welcomed in thesummer.
In pagan traditions, beltane orMay Day was the time when
people lit fires and stayed upall night, making love next to
the fire as a blessing to theautumn harvest and the spring
(14:03):
crops or the summer crops.
One can also see this as acelebration and a calibration
with the hot qi of summer, whichcan manifest as this passion.
The counsel of the Zhang JishanYin Xu is to enter the palace
from evening to midnight,otherwise it injures the qi.
So entering the palace refersto sexual intercourse, which is
(14:26):
most beneficial during thegrowing yin time of day, in the
evening between sunset andmidnight.
Excess modesty during summer isthe manifestation of a
malevolent yin left over fromwinter.
So there's no need to be overlymodest in the summertime.
Save that modesty for thewintertime, when we're wanting
(14:47):
to conserve our qi.
This is the time to let yourhair down, to have more wildness
in your conduct.
On that token, gatheringsduring the summer can be a
collective demonstration of thisjoy of nature, and this natural
(15:08):
fire brings a kind of unity.
Through this collectivedemonstration of joy, we can
unite differences through thiswarmth, this heat, such as
living and dead, ancestors andchildren, young and old, women
and men, through this loving,warm and happy conduct.
It is the season to be more freein expressing your feelings,
(15:30):
thoughts and preferences withclarity and just to be really
clear.
This is not an aggression,which is a kind of malevolent
yang.
This is a time for generosity,abundance and strengthening
bonds with our community.
The Zhang Jishan Yinshucounsels us to wash the hair
frequently during the summer,but to not bathe often.
(15:52):
Bathing meaning languishing ina tub of warm water, because
this is not in accordance withthe faster pace of summer tea.
So short showers, probablyending with cold water at the
end, letting the head be freshwith that cold water or warm
water, but not sitting aroundfor long hours in a tub or sauna
(16:15):
or sweat.
Thank you so much for listeningand enjoy your summertime and go
to lots of gatherings, dancefrequently, have a lot of fun,
express your joy, be and spendsome time in the garden to help
calibrate, go for long walks.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
