What You Inherited – And What You Are Ready to Release

“Until you make the unconscious conscious,

it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

~~ Carl Jung

Greetings to all my precious people!!

Last week, we began the work of homecoming by clearing physical space – honoring the body as the sacred vessel we arrived on the earth with.

Many of you wrote to share what you cleared and what you noticed. The common thread? When external space cleared, emotions started moving.

This is not an accident.

Greetings to all my precious people!!

November has arrived. The trees are bare. The leaves have fallen. Nature shows us clearly: this is the season of letting go.

We are in Metal season now – autumn in Chinese Medicine, the element that governs release, refinement, and the grief that clears the way for new growth. Metal asks us to examine what we’re holding onto and why. To distinguish between what’s essential and what has simply accumulated.

But this is not about productivity. This is not about organizing your life into neat boxes.

This is about something far more sacred: returning to your original vessel.

The body you arrived with. The one that knew how to breathe, how to feel, how to trust its own rhythms before you were taught to ignore it, override it, perform through it.

Homecoming begins here – in the body. In the physical space you inhabit.

Needle by Needle: Acupuncture and Healing from Trauma

Needle by Needle: Acupuncture and Healing from Trauma

People can experience trauma in a variety of ways. Trauma can be physical or emotional. It can be the result of an event like a car accident or through a relationship like with an abusive parent, teacher/coach, or spouse. Trauma doesn’t just reside in the mind but rather embeds itself deep in the body. 

It can be tricky to treat and can manifest anxiety and other behavioral triggers sometimes without warning. Many trauma victims are finding that acupuncture, with its whole-person, body-based approach, offers a powerful and gentle tool for those seeking to heal from the wounds trauma leaves behind. continue reading »
