THe Nature of Chee or QI
Wilst looking at self massage on youtube I thought I should open the search up to “self healing”. As many of you know I try to look after my qi and this is a movie about working with the qi (or life force as seen by toaists).
It looks pretty interesting qi is lifeforce and think gong is breathing. I guess it’s a bit like the study of Pranayama (in yoga)

It is now practiced by millions of chinese http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qigong
Self Neck and shoulder massage
I thought maybe I should see what there is out there that I can do myself for myself and there is actually quite a bit
THIS IS AWSOME!! I just did it – bloody amazing. This is a complete massage I got pretty deep – I think I can sort myself out with this one.
He did another one too on face excersizes that was nice.
I also did this one but it wasn’t as good as the ones above
I haven’t done these but they looked interesting for different reasons
This is a meditation / self massage especially for a migrane (I found it a bit boring – maybe I’ll try at again sometime)
I found this one less than convincing basically tap yourself in various places whilst saying “even if I have a migraine headache I fully accept me the way I am” . hmmm
Neck and Shoulder massage
I get headaches / migranes (behind the right eye) from time to time.
These are mainly due to tension in the neck and I generally sorted out by a session with my chiropracter / kinesiologist. He is very good but costs me money. This weekend I have been getting information with the hope that I can gain the skills to give my partner a massage in the hope that she will return the favor and fix my headache without the cost.
Below are two videos on the subject
This one is very prescriptive
We have just followed the first video and I think we will do it again. My partner found it more pleasurable the second time round as I think I was a bit rough the first time

Today’s forecast high for Melbourne is 37 degrees while Adelaide is expected to reach 40 degrees according to the Bureau of Meteorology’s Web site.

GARDEN DIARY COMMENT
Its been pretty hot for a few weeks and all of my seedlings that I potted orignally have died. It was partly due to the fact they wern’t shady and partly the soil wasn’t draining well enough. All my plants have now got big layers of muclch on top and been moved into the shade where I can.
The basil I planted is bed C is doing pretty badly but not dead yet (the tomatoes seedlings I put into that bed died last month).
The basin in the pots under the tree is fairing much better. My plants don’t like as much sun as they are getting!
below are my plants
