"For evil qi to enter your body, there must first be weakness." -Neijing suwen
Weakness can mean many things. We can damage ourselves by not following the rhythm of our bodies, by eating inappropriately, by working too hard. We can injure ourselves by not taking care of our emotions. We can damage ourselves by exposing ourselves to harm. To prevent disease, a good physician will pay attention to strengthening the body rather than attacking disease because this is the root of the condition.

It's a challenge to be our own physicians and care for ourselves with intuitive, integrative means. And remembering to love ourselves in the process.
