International Wu Wei Academy of TCM

The lion has learned a lot this spring, and by attending the Mind Body Spirit festival. We are changing gears, and the lion starts a new series where he'll encounter some wider topics from TCM perspective. This week, we start with seasons.
*******************************************************************
Every year feeling that restless spring energy? You’re not alone.
Our lion tried to keep everything neat.
Papers fluttering. Plants leaning.
Nothing staying where he put it.
Still confused.

Then he paused.
He watched a sprout reach for the light.
He felt the upward pull in his own body.
And eventually… he let things move.

Because here's the thing:
Spring Qi rises.
And we rise with it.
You don’t control spring — you grow into it.

Traditional Chinese Medicine reflects the seasons of the year — and each one brings its own kind of wisdom.

Still trying to understand herbal formulas? You’re not alone.
Our lion started the morning full of enthusiasm.
Jars open. Herbs everywhere.
A little of this… a lot of that…
Still confused.

Then he slowed down.
He read the scroll.
He noticed how each herb supports the others.
And eventually… he learned to blend, not pile.

Because here's the thing:
Herbal formulas aren’t recipes.
They’re relationships.
Harmony comes from how the herbs work together — not how many you add.

If herbal medicine feels confusing — you’re not alone.
Our lion’s been there.
We’re here to help.

Unfortunately, the Qi-lion will have the weekend off due to connectivity issues. No Internet where he is this weekend. And he has deserved a resr after the hectic four-day festival. Until next week!

Still trying to make sense of pulse diagnosis? You’re not alone.

Our lion spent all morning checking his own pulse.
Left wrist. Right wrist.
Fast. Slow. Faster.
Still confused.

Then he paused.
He breathed.
He listened.
And eventually… he learned to listen.

Because here’s the thing:
Pulse diagnosis isn’t about numbers.
It’s about presence.
You don’t measure the pulse — you meet it.
If pulse diagnosis feels confusing — you’re not alone.
Our lion’s been there.
We’re here to help.

The Qi‑Lion Arrives at London Olympia!
Tomorrow we set up our booth at the Mind Body Spirit Festival — and on Friday morning, our Qi‑lion steps outside this page for the very first time.

What began as a small idea has grown into a full comic series, a teaching companion, and now… a festival ambassador.
He’s here to remind everyone that TCM practice doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.
A little humour, a little heart — and suddenly the path becomes lighter.

This weekend, we’ll be sharing:
• our Qi‑lion comic strips
• Xiang Gong and acupressure demonstrations
• classical insights from our Wu Wei Academy curriculum
• and a warm welcome to anyone curious about TCM

If you’re at London Olympia, come say hello at D68.
The lion will be waiting — mane fluffed, eyes bright, ready to meet new friends.

I have free tickets for this festival.
If you are interested to it, please message to me.

Still trying to balance Yin and Yang? You’re not alone.

Our lion spent all morning comparing opposites.
Black ball. White ball.
Hot tea. Cold tea.
Still confused.

Then he looked closer.
He saw Yin within Yang.
Yang within Yin.
And something softened.

Because here’s the thing:
You don’t force balance — you notice it.
Harmony isn’t a perfect split; it’s a living rhythm.

If Yin & Yang feels mysterious — you’re not alone.

One scroll. Five elements. One misunderstanding.

This week, the lion studies the Five Elements.
He reads. He categorises. He over‑interprets.
Eventually… he understands.

Because here’s the thing:
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Five Elements aren’t objects you collect.
They’re relationships — movements — conversations between forces.

If the Five Elements feel abstract — you’re not alone.
Our lion has been there.
We’re here to help.

One paw. One point. One surprise.

This week, the lion tries acupressure.
He presses. He tingles. He overdoes it.
Eventually… he focuses.
Because here’s the thing:
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupressure isn’t about pressing everything.
It’s about choosing the right point — and letting it speak.

If acupressure feels mysterious — you’re not alone.
Our lion’s been there.
We’re here to help.
