Your Body’s Dance with The Sun

Did you know that 90% of the human body’s Energetic Function is provided by three main sources? If you are thinking that the hamburger or fresh organic salad you downed last night is one of them, you would be incorrect. In the West it is common to put food above all else where energy is concerned. In reality, it only makes up less than 10% of your body’s entire energetic matrix.

So where does the other 90% come from? Great question, and that is what we will be discussing in our next series here.

The first of these energies we will be focusing on is SUNLIGHT.

“No matter how tall the mountain, it cannot block out the sun.”

–Chinese Proverb

Sunlight According to The Ancients

In the Western paradigm there are arteries, veins, nerves and lymphatic tissue. In the Ancient Chinese anatomy they described 經絡 jīngluò, or rivers and connections, known today as meridians or the primo vascular system.

The meridian system in our bodies reacts to the energy of sunlight just like everything else. The Yang Ming group of meridians which passes through the stomach organ and the large intestine organ literally translates into the “sunlight meridian.”

In ancient understanding, the digestive system was regulated by sunlight which facilitated the body’s digestive process. They believed that when something comes in contact with the sun whether it is viruses, bacteria, fungi, and even food or drink for a long period of time, it begins to break down.

“While the sun is shining, bask in it”

–African Proverb

Your Body’s Dance with The Violet Star

SUN: A star that is the source of light and heat for the planets in the solar system; this luminous body is a celestial body that the Earth and other planets revolve around.

Now, because the Earth and other planets revolve around it, they are in constant communication and have a reaction with the sun.

Next, the sun is not red, yellow or bright white. It is VIOLET, thus ultraviolet rays. Although sunlight is comprised of UVA, UVB , UVC and other types of ultraviolet light, it is the human body’s response to it that is key here.

The auto immune system begins to kick in and the body responds with a mineralized protective coating of copper and carbon, namely melanin when it comes into contact with the sun. In addition to that, various hormones are being manufactured and transformed, like D-3, Serotonin, Melatonin, Dopamine, etc., as well as a myriad of other processes all from contact with the sun.

When Is Sunlight Safe?

The safest times for sun exposure are from sunrise to 1 hour after sunrise, and 1 hour before sunset to sunset. Ten to fifteen minutes per day is all that you need for your body to begin manufacturing the carbon and copper (IE: Melanin) that it needs to function. Even just having an arm or a leg in a sunbeam for that amount of time is sufficient. Once that routine is completed, your body will be manufacturing its own SPF (IE: Melanin) to protect itself during the harsher periods of the day.

The nutrition we receive from our interaction with the sun supports 10-15% of our energetic production. Our body is manufacturing its own melonin, carbon and copper, producing different types of hormones, strengthening its bone system and aiding in its ability to fight off all kinds of different conditions.

And there you have it! A simple explanation of your body’s dance with the sun. For a more in depth dive into sunlight, be sure to sign up for our Navigating Nutrition with The Body Type System Course below.

Until then, get yourself some sun my friends, and enjoy the journey!

Jiao Shi

I have struggled with low vitamin D for years. I always get it checked with my labs and when found low (always), would supplement, and even sunbathe in the middle of the day without sunscreen (I thought that would have been the time to get the most vitamin D), but yet my levels would remain low and/or deficient. I have been on the body type system approximately 10 months. I recently had my vitamin D checked with my labs and it was 80-high! My doctor told me I could cut in half whatever supplementing I was doing and I called back to say to him, "I haven't been supplementing at all! But let me tell you what I have been doing..." and I told them about the intentional sunlight at the right time of day. At my doctor visit I was also telling him about the body type plan because of his own personal health issues, for him to look into for himself. I was excited to share that because he could see these measurable results of wellness and harmony. This has been the only thing that has ever brought up my vitamin D. I am very grateful. I feel so much better overall since doing the body typing. I used to have reflux ever single day and now it is rare to nonexistent. To see this healing is so encouraging after so many failed attempts at healing naturally. This Earth Yang is thankful for Jiao Shi and the type me community.

Harmonizing Your Training with the Body Type System™ Part 3

Welcome back again! Today we will finish up the third and final section to Harmonizing Your Training™ with the Body Type System™. We will touch on a few final tips from Jiao Shi, and leave you with some reflections from 老子 Lao Tzu.

Maintain Your Course

Maintain your COURSE which is a natural flow to your destination. Your destination is based on the goals you have set. Head for the light at the end of the tunnel – or the sound that will lead you out of a dark cave.

Step by step, let nature take its course. Your body knows the way like a trained horse who knows its way home. You are the rider who is steering it in the direction you want to proceed.

“Who can make the muddy water clear? Let it be still, and it will gradually become clear. Who can secure the condition of rest? Let movement go on, and the condition of rest will gradually arise.”
-老子 Lao Tzu, 道德經 Dàodé Jīng, Chapter 15

The Benefits of Stillness

STILLNESS provides many different benefits to the body’s ability to manifest longevity. Take a look at the Sequoia Trees in the Western U.S. Even though these trees seem completely still they are in steady constant motion.

When you are doing the Harmonizing Your Training™ exercises, remember to begin in STILLNESS and end in STILLNESS. You will be surprised how your body switches from the Yang phase (Sympathetic) to the Yin Phase (Parasympathetic). It is in the Yin phase when body rests, refines, and restores itself – even while you are conscious. This is why many of these ancient exercises are known as moving meditation.

“The state of vacancy should be brought to the utmost degree, and that of stillness guarded with unwearying vigor. All things alike go through their processes of activity, and we see them return to their original state. Then things have displayed their luxuriant growth, we see each of them return to its root. This returning to their root is what we call the state of stillness; and that stillness may be called a reporting that they have fulfilled their appointed end.”

-老子 Lao Tzu, 道德經 Dàodé Jīng, Chapter 16

Be Aware

To be AWARE of something means that you are acknowledging that an event occurred. Examples are respiration, your heart beat, your eyes blinking, etc. To be obsessive means that you are checking your pulse rate, and you are constantly looking at yourself for different types of problems that don’t exist in reality. You have to learn the difference between false AWARENESS, and true AWARENESS.

“Everything relies upon The Dao for their existence, and it does not fail them. It acquires merit but covets not the title. It lovingly nourishes everything, but does not claim the rights of ownership. It has no desires, it can be classed with the small. Everything returns to it, yet it does not claim the right of ownership. It can be classed with the great. Therefore the wise man to the end will not pose as a great man, and by so doing will express his true greatness.”

-老子 Lao Tzu, 道德經 Dàodé Jīng, Chapter 34

Allow Your Body to Be

After you finish your Harmonizing Your Training™ routine, do not focus on any given results. ALLOW your body to restore its function and be amazed.

“Heaven and Earth unite together and send down the sweet dew, which, without the directions of men, reaches equally everywhere as of its own accord.”

-老子 Lao Tzu, 道德經 Dàodé Jīng, Chapter 32

Final Reflections on Harmonizing Your Training with the Body Type System™

Allow yourself to flow naturally to your destination with stillness to manifest longevity. Be aware of the changes in your body without being obsessive, and ALLOW your body to be restored back to harmony and its original function. REMEMBER, the keys to healing and restoration are already within you.

As the great Terry Lewis says from Jam & Lewis,

“You ARE great, just go be it!”

"I was dragging my feet a bit this morning. the whole of the head was sort of dry & stuffy & just the whole of the inner body was as if aching. i did my earth yang exercise, just 10 movements & voila. these exercises never stop amazing me. i mean it took seconds before i clearly experienced my body return back to normal. i was no longer dry & hot inside; i literally felt my body temp balance itself back to neutral, i felt internally stronger, i could continue on with my day. how??!! LOL. just thank you"

"Harmonizing Your Training is my favorite thing. I tend to be emotional, and this helps me to center myself and calm down. If I eat something that does not agree with me I do these exercises and am fine. Thank you for a tool that is so simple, yet so profound. My life has been changed."
