Getting married at any time of the year can be stressful, but winter weddings that coincide with Christmas can come with added stress for the couple getting married.
It might be the most wonderful time of the year, but it’s no secret that Christmas is a busy time for everyone, add a wedding in to the mix of Christmas shopping, present-purchasing pressure and mounting costs can make December a tense time of year.
However, festive decorations, a chance of snow, and the general rip-roaring excitement for the most wonderful time of the year adds an unmatched level of excitement to proceedings and December can be the prettiest, most romantic month of the year to get wed.
For those feeling snowed under, Master Oh has a guide to help you along and keep stress at bay by helping you to harness your Qi.
Tapping into your ‘human energy’, known as Qi, Master Oh practices a distinctive healing method that enables people to harness their energy to achieve a deep sense of contentment and happiness. What more could you want on your special day?
An effective and sustainable means to remove stress, reduce anxiety and recharge, the following five simple steps from Master Oh will help you to cultivate the power of Qi and keep calm for your wedding and Christmas:
Meditate
There’s a popular phrase ‘start as you mean to go on’. It is so important to begin your day with the right mind, one that is positive, calm and peaceful. With this mind we are able to support the free flow of Qi energy - our life force - around the body. An abundant and free flow of Qi is what keeps us physically, mentally and emotionally healthy. Stress and negative thought patterns can create blockages in our energy system creating an imbalance as well as draining our energy. Meditation is the perfect antidote to this as it calms the nervous system, reduces stress and helps us to recharge, enabling us to feel calm and peaceful. It also gives us the clarity to observe any negativity we may have and rearrange our mind, helping us to 'start the day as we mean to go on'. Start your day with a 10-15-minute meditation and see the difference it will make to your life.
Good food
It’s no secret that food is to the body, what petrol is to a car. Eating regularly as opposed to snacking on sugary treats or caffeinated drinks will help maintain energy levels. Remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day as our bodies are made up of 70% water.
Keep Warm
With the weather proving unpredictable, it’s important to regulate our body temperature to avoid draining energy. The lower abdomen and the top of the head are the two major energy centres and should be kept warm whatever the weather. You can also support your energy system by avoiding cold drinks and drinking warm water especially during the colder months of the year.
Create happiness
It’s important to remember the power of the mind - a positive and happy mind supports our body, mind and spirit. Gratitude is an essential ingredient to cultivating a happy mind. Express gratitude to others as well as reflecting on all the things you have to be grateful for. Practise opening your heart to others with words and actions - a kind act is never forgotten and will give you so much joy and happiness.
Smile
The famous Louis Armstrong song goes, ‘When you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you.’ Smiling is infectious, when you smile you can make others happy. Practise smiling in front of the mirror. Even if you don't feel like it, the more you practise, the happier you will become. Not only does smiling make you and others happy, but it also enables the free flow of Qi around your body further supporting your health and happiness.
