The Origins of You
One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.

The month of May, known as a time of transitions and celebrations, continues to grace us with warmer temperatures as Nature blooms with vibrant colors and sweet fragrances. The New moon that rose in the sign of Taurus The Bull on May 7th ushered in a period of abundance and good fortune, all thanks to the Jupiter-Venus conjunction it featured. Can you feel any of the shift in your own life this week? Aside from triggering a new lunar cycle, new moons also signal new beginnings and a fresh start. May 7th’s New Moon offers a great opportunity for manifesting the future you want.

Using Acupuncture to Manage Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseases can prove to be intricate and seemingly unsolvable puzzles for many people. And statistics prove this to be true as millions worldwide are impacted by autoimmune diseases ranging from rheumatoid arthritis to lupus, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, irritable bowel disease, and even Parkinson’s disease. Conventional medicine can diagnose 100 different autoimmune conditions, however the treatments offered don’t completely resolve the issues associated with the disease and in extreme cases, no treatment is available at all. And yet, in the midst of all these medical challenges that autoimmune diseases present, acupuncture emerges as a promising ally, offering relief to those grappling with these often-complex health conditions. 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.
~~ Glennon Doyle
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
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
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
