We stand differently when we are calm and when we are stressed. We move differently when we are fearful and when we are blissful. Within the theories and evidence of Chinese Medicine, there are various physical presentations that manifest in our gait and posture based on specific emotional patterns.
The ‘Simple Questions’ in chapter 39 of the Su Wen states that, “Anger makes Qi rise, joy slows down Qi, sadness dissolves Qi, fear makes Qi descend… shock scatters Qi... pensiveness knots Qi.”
It’s the energetics of our emotions that influence our movement, (or lack of movement).
Join Dr. Chloé Hom Bañales and Venus for a 60-minute (online) workshop about "Moving through your emotions from a Chinese Medicine and Movement Perspective" on May 26, 2022 at 5:30pm PST.
