245: Finding Balance Through Chinese Medicine with Brodie Welch
To start 2021, we are talking all about simple, hands-on tools and practices that you can incorporate into your life to help you get into your Adult Chair \u2014 now and all year long. Today, we\u2019re talking about one of my favorites: Chinese medicine.

Chinese medicine is a beautiful, holistic view of healthcare that helps us find balance on the emotional, physical and spiritual level. It incorporates acupuncture, herbology, bodywork, movement and diet along with meditation and other grounding practices to bring health to your entire self.

At the root of all Chinese medicine practices is the idea that we are interconnected beings and true wellness comes from treating the whole person and not just symptoms. I love this approach!

In this episode, I talk with Brodie Welch, an acupuncturist and expert in Chinese medicine. We talk about presence, consciousness and processing emotions along with physical tools such as Qi gong and herbs. You might be surprised by the way these overlap with many of the ideas in The Adult Chair!

Listen to discover:
- How Chinese medicine helps the body create health by finding balance
- How to find patterns and treat them holistically
- Why it\u2019s important to look for connections between how you\u2019re feeling and where those feelings manifest in the body
- What Qi gong is and its benefits
- Simple self-care actions that you can take each day to live more in balance
Brodie also walks us through a simple Qi gong exercise on the podcast that will help you get into balance in the moment (and maybe try a new practice you haven\u2019t tried before!).
\u201cIt\u2019s a way of looking at the world and the body as an ecosystem...Chinese medicine sees the body as this interconnected system of different kinds of energy.\u201d - Brodie Welch

\u201cNo state of our physicality doesn\u2019t have an emotion that goes with it.\u201d - Brodie Welch
\xa0
\u201cIt\u2019s not about treating a condition. It\u2019s about treating a person.\u201d - Brodie Welch
\xa0
\u201cYou don\u2019t have to make this giant leap into someone that you\u2019re not...If we can shift a tiny bit today and then the next day, we\u2019re going to find a great change.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant
