Curiosity is your Catalyst
“I am neither especially clever, nor especially gifted.
I am only very, very curious.”

How are you feeling these days? So many people are reporting upper respiratory symptoms of sneezing, nasal congestion, hoarseness and headaches that we typically associate with allergies. Our bodies are being exposed to the seasonal forces of wind and rain that stir up the pollen, pathogens and viruses known to circulate in early Spring. While we might be well versed in the seasonal patterns of Nature, the cyclical movement of stars and planets also influence our lives on the macro and micro levels. Yes, I am talking about astrology again, and how the confluence of all things in the natural order affect our health and well-being. continue reading
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.

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
When the Body Says NO
It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn’t matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over.
~~Paulo Coelho

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
Ignite Your Dreams
“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.”
~~Henry David Thoreau
Greetings to all my precious people!!!
April 2024 in the year of the Green Wood Dragon continues to unfold. We are in the beginning of Spring, the season when the natural world revives and reinvigorates after the colder winter months. Dormant plants begin to grow again, new seedlings sprout out of the ground and hibernating animals awake. There is a sense of anticipation as the energy of the Earth awakens to celebrate rebirth and renewal. continue reading
How You Can Heal from Within
“People have a hard time letting go of their suffering.
Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.”
~~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Greetings to all my precious people!!
The month of April in the Year of the Dragon has given us pause and reminds us to expect the unexpected. Earthquakes in Taiwan, followed by 4.8 magnitude temblor shaking the East Coast multiple times and then, the magnificent Solar eclipse this past Monday. I hope you were able to witness the phenomena outside and experience some moments of awe. The world is filled with daily miracles and magic, if only we are still enough, and choose to be Present with our selves and the space we inhabit. continue reading
