It's Summer in South Florida and we hope you are all staying cool and dry.  Frank Iborra wrote a note on the summer solstice and even though it has just passed, I'm sending it because it still has relevance in the future and relates to the upcoming study group. Following also is the information for the July events.  

For a class schedule you can go to the blog at www.whitecranehealingarts.com

Summer Solstice

Today is the Summer Solstice which is the time when yang has reached its peak and yin begins to grow.  This is considered in the Taoist tradition, the best time for people to control their vitality, so as not to over-extend themselves.  The Summer Solstice is one of eight high energy days observed by the Yellow Emperor’s calendar.  

This system of natural energetic cycles, as observed by the Chinese people over countless generations informs and guides us in regards to agriculture, daily activities, and spiritual cultivation.   The Ancients through texts such as the I Ching, teach the natural energy cycles so that our intuition and natural instincts can evolve.  This is one way to live in greater harmony and connect to the deep source.

Walking a little can go a long way
By Lambeth Hochwald
Health Magazine

Story Highlights

• Walking every day brings many health benefits
• A brisk walk in the afternoon will help you get a better night's sleep, experts say
• You can significantly reduce breast-cancer risk by walking, one study says
• Walking may help ward off Alzheimer's disease, studies say

What if there was something simple you could do every day that would burn calories, be good for your heart, and help you stay young. You'd do it, right?

Well, that's why researchers and doctors are so gung ho about walking, especially in light of new research that credits it for everything from cutting breast-cancer risks to helping you sleep.

Tim Russert, the longtime host of NBC's Meet the Press and a best-selling author, has died of a heart attack at age 58, his family has told The New York Times.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/06/13/tim.russert/index.html

Tim Russert will be sorely missed. His analysis of the upcoming Presidential Election will never be what it could be. His voice, his wisdom, and his brilliance cannot be replaced.
