LISTEN to Live in Alignment

Every life is an unprecedented experiment. This life is mine alone. 

So I have stopped asking people for directions to places they’ve never been. 

There is no map. We are all pioneers.

Greetings to all my precious people!!

The month of May has graced us with warmer temperatures and sunny skies that break through the clouds after misty mornings filled with birdsongs and bunnies.  There is a great amount of exuberance in Nature, as well as in the Universe with planetary shifts and alignments happening according to their cyclical journeys.  Qi – the vital life force that flows through each of us – also animates the earth and the cosmos.  Seasons change, but the cyclical Qi movement within those seasons remains the same.  By understanding patterns within the environment and individuals, Chinese Medicine helps to promote harmony and balance for optimal health and well-being.  continue reading »

Greetings to all my precious people!!

We are in the midst of restore and release, aligning our focus to Spring – the time of renewal.  Are you feeling the energetics yet?  The urge to purge, the desire to rearrange things, the need to finally tend to the stuff that has been piling up in the land of “someday.”  Many times these prompts for change are signaled by the body speaking its language with emotions and physical sensations that beg to be acknowledged.  But more often than not, the feelings and bodily twinges become those darned symptoms that annoy or irritate us.  They interrupt our plans, invade our thoughts and present a choice point for us – to listen more attentively, or to disregard and put aside until “later.”  continue reading »

Unlocking the Ancient Wisdom of Gua Sha

Unlocking the Ancient Wisdom of Gua Sha

Gua sha is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. Practitioners of this medicine believe that a person’s qi, or energy, must flow unhindered throughout the body so you can feel your best. When qi becomes stagnant, health problems occur. With Gua sha, your acupuncturist uses a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape areas of your body where inflammation or stagnant qi exist to help improve circulation and promote healing. When done correctly, Gua sha can help you unlock radiant skin and achieve holistic well-being. continue reading »
