5 Powerful Reasons to Enjoy Living Qi™ Matcha

1. Quality:

•    Global tea experts agree that green tea from Japan is the best in the world. That is why the Living Qi™ company provides matcha green tea exclusively from small organic farms in Japan. We have the highest manufacturing standards in the world.

2. Health Benefits:

•    Because Living Qi™ Matcha is powdered green tea, you absorb all the antioxidants, fiber and phytonutrients from the entire tea-leaf, rather than throwing valuable nutrients out with the teabag.

3. Convenience:

•    Simply add 1 tsp. to a bottle of water, shake, and enjoy a delicious green tea beverage to keep you focused and energetic at work, at the gym, or wherever you are.

4. Beauty and Uniqueness:

•    Living Qi™ Matcha is a brilliant emerald green superfood, whereas other green teas often result in a yellow-brown and bitter liquid. The radiant green chlorophyll of Living Qi™ Matcha is an indicator of its’ superior quality.

5. Superior Taste:

•    Living Qi™ Matcha from Japan is fresh and delicious. Matcha from other countries is often bitter because of processing and poor growing methods. Living Qi™ Matcha is stone-ground by hand to preserve the taste, nutrients and antioxidants of the entire green tea leaf.

Matcha green tea is not only used for simple drinking, baking or making ice cream, matcha has more theanine in it than any other green tea in the world. Theanine is an amino acid with psychoactive properties. Research on theanine shows that it can help put the brain in alpha state, reduce stress and lower blood pressure. Matcha has a very relaxing affect on the central nervous system and can put the body in an easeful, peaceful and relaxed state. After drinking matcha, one feels as if they have meditated or practiced tai chi or yoga.

When the ancient Japanese monks discovered how to make matcha, they used it in their tea ceremonies and meditation rituals because they found that with matcha they could sustain their focus and energy for up to 8 hours at a time.

While there is some caffeine in matcha, the theanine acts as a natural balancer to the effects of caffeine. The caffeine provides increased mental acuity and focus, while the theanine provides relaxation and bodily calm.

the uses of Matcha, therefore are quite varied. We use matcha for daily drinking and for the deep calm, relaxation and increased focus it provides. It is indeed a valuable meditation aid.

The Evolution of Chinese medicine: By James Whittle

I am thrilled to announce that we are offering an amazingly inexpensive massage special here at the clinic on Tuesday afternoons.

I have been getting regular massage for about 15 years and have seen dozens of therapists over the years. When I find a massage therapist who has the right combination of skill and intuition I make sure I refer them patients.

My massage therapist, Tera Broughton, has agreed to come into the Blue Ridge Acupuncture Clinic and offer first time clients a ONE HOUR FULL BODY MASSAGE for $35! Typically an hour massage can cost upwards of $80 an hour, so this is a real deal.

Call us now if you would like to book a massage for you, a loved one, or a friend: (828) 254-4405.

Yes, an hour long massage for $35.

Again, this offer is for first time clients only.

Additionally, if you want acupuncture after the massage, we are offering a combined package of only $85. Yes, an hour long full body massage, followed by an hour long acupuncture treatment for only $85.

Since my regular price per acupuncture treatment is $75, this basically means you are getting a massage for only $10!

Call now to book your appointment: (828) 254-4405

“But notice something”, she said, “no matter which direction you face, or who you are facing, you are always first and foremost in relationship with yourself, you can turn to face every new direction, but you are always still standing inside the circle of your own being. This is why the most important thing in life is to develop a healthy relationship to your self. As you love yourself first, then you are able to give love and respect to all beings. Self hatred is the cause of hatred of others.”

That young man went on to become a widely respected Artist, Author and Wisdom teacher in his own right. His name is Hyemeyohsts Storm.

Meditation can be an extremely powerful tool for peering into the world of your inner thoughts and understanding how we talk to ourselves inside our minds. As you may know we are constantly running thoughts, images and even songs through our minds (who has not been crazily annoyed by a wayward song on the brain?).

One of the purposes of meditation is to clearly see this “internal dialogue” and to asses whether your thoughts and inner feelings are benefiting you and your life or stifling your possibilities. Imagine being able to immediately notice that annoying song you can’t stop singing and replace it with a positive affirmation or even a peaceful silence. Such is the power of meditation.

Many ancient cultures have the saying “the mind makes the human.” And “As you think so you are.”

Think about this deeply for the day, observe how you talk to yourself in your mind. See if you can be your own best coach inside your head. I have found that I need to be extremely diligent and observant of my mind to see through old patterns and conditioning.

One of the things that has been tremendously helpful to me is taking an integrated approach to health. When I am in great shape, walking everyday and lifting weights, my meditation gets very deep and a natural confidence and positivity arise effortlessly. My qigong practice then also deepens and I feel full of energy love and compassion for myself and others.

One thing is for sure, being your own best coach requires you to take action and to believe you can get back in control of your life especially if you are feeling depressed, anxious or overwhelmed. But the rewards for that action will be deeper peace, satisfaction and confidence.

Developing you inner coach means being your own best friend, pushing yourself to persist in the face of difficulties, and daring to dream big and live your dreams. Think of one thing you would love to do or achieve in this lifetime and use the voice of the inner coach to begin plotting your way to get there…the journey is what you make it and your inner voice will determine what you can achieve.
