Tip 1.  Refresh Your Feet.
Feet have a relationship to the kidneys, and our kidneys, are the home of energy for the whole body, therefore it is very useful to keep the feet warm, especially in winter.  Massaging them regularly is essential.  It helps to improve circulation of both energy and blood.  In the theory of meridians in the body, the feet are a reflection  of many internal organs points and tissues of the body.  If you cannot sleep during the night, a quick tip is to rub the soles of your feet for a few minutes, this helps to get back to sleep

Tip 2. Tune In to the Seasons
The relationship between nature and people requires that we make various adjustments to our lifestyle during the change of seasons. For example in summer it is better to go to bed later so the heat of the season doesn’t penetrate the body to become too hot or the opposite in winter.  Get up a little later in the morning when it is warmer, not to have to cope with the cold draining energy reserves.

Tip 3.  Walking
We all need exercise for the body and walking is a natural exercise, easy to do without involving too much preparation.  Walking is beneficial to the whole body systems, it helps  improve  digestion, absorption of food, and keeps  the stomach healthy.  It aids bowel movement releasing toxins from the body more frequently.

Tip 4.  Transition from one state to another
We often forget to allow a few moments of time to make adjustments between activities.  For example early in the morning when we wake up it’s good to stay a few minutes longer in bed before we get up to adjust to the day in order to preserve and balance the energy in the body.

Tip 5.  Too much rest is unhealthy
Getting enough rest for the body is healthy but like everything in life there needs to be a balance.  Indulging in too much inactivity or rest actually wears down the body and our will and can have a negative impact on our energy.  It’s wise to move your body and do simple exercise or walking.

Tip 6.  Keep Emotions Calm
