Energy in Season shows how to re-evaluate you life, and explains how you can reacquaint yourself with living in Season in a simple and easy way. The book gives you lifestyle tips, Yoga flows, Chi Kung and T’ai Chi moves for each season and the corresponding organs, as well as meditations and reflections for the time of year.
The concept of energy in season is distilled from ancient wisdom and applied to the way we live today. It dates back over three thousand years ago when the ancient Chinese invented a system of illness prevention through observing nature, energy and the seasons. We decided to take the wonderful gems of information within that philosophy and simplify them into a form which could be used and easily fitted into today’s fast-paced life, developing a system that is accessible to everyone.

It is full of life enhancing exercises and seasonal Taiji moves to keep you supple, balanced and strong

How to keep inbalance with nature and the season by Sue Woodd and Julie Hanson. A Guide to inspire you throughout the year to achieve maximum results and a state of radiant health through exercise, diet and lifestyle. The changes of the seasons affect our internal conditions and mental and emotional needs. We are a part of nature and therefore part of its changes. It is probably easier for us to be aware of the changes in our animals or gardens than in ourselves, but once we cultivate an awareness of these changes and work in harmony with them, we can see how vital and strong they really are and how this can influence our well-being and motivation on every level.

T’ai Chi (Taiji) follows on from Chi Gung (Qigong), known as the supreme ultimate, and it is the single most popular style of Chi Gung practiced today. It consists of a series of rhythmic movements and postures strung together in seamless sequences, performed softly, slowly and smoothly in conjunction with deep abdominal breathing. Like a moving meditation it generates power, concentration and clarity of mind. It is a living tradition of fitness and health practiced by men and women of all ages over hundreds of years.
