Qi Gong Weather Report – Flagstaff, Sept 16, 2025

Period Starting: Fall Equinox Transition

• Date & Context: Report begins Tuesday, Sept 16, 2025. Fall equinox arrives Monday, Sept 22.

• Energy Shift: Transition from stable summer yang to yin of winter. A peak in yang occurs before the shift.

• Current Conditions:

  • In Flagstaff, yang rise began ~3–4 days ago.

  • This year’s yang levels are unusually high — personally record levels for the teacher.

• Practical Guidance:

  • Use this as the “final push” — best time for ambitious or physically demanding activity.

  • Bleed off excess yang with movement to prevent irritability, spasms, or health flare-ups.

  • Balance by building yin: rest more, meditate if trained, or extend sleep periods.

• Emotional Component: Allow yourself to feel outward/emotional energy (yang) and then recover inwardly (yin). Experiencing both helps regulate chi and respond better to the outside world.

• Seasonal Strategy:

  • Alternate exertion (to vent yang) and rest (to gather yin).

  • Meditation = most powerful yin-building practice.

  • Sleep and general rest are fallback options if meditation isn’t available.

• Local Note: Cooler Flagstaff nights will make strong yang conditions more tolerable.

• Update Frequency: Reports appear when transitions occur, not daily; expect more frequent updates this season due to rapid changes.
