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
The Benefits of Detoxifying your Body with Acupuncture
Life can be incredibly stressful. Even if things are “going well,” the constant pull of the needs of others including kids, coworkers, parents, and even friends can leave us feeling drained and often leads us into making poor lifestyle choices. But what if there was a place you could go to heal your body and your mind? A sanctuary of sorts, where you can find serenity and healing through the art of acupuncture. Your acupuncturist can help you find the path to detoxification—a journey of renewal and revitalization for both body and soul. continue reading
Let Go and Let it Be
“To let go does not mean to get rid of.
To let go means to let be.
When we let be with compassion,
things come and go on their own.”
~~ Jack Kornfield
We are in the midst of major shifts during this Leap Year 2024, the Year of Possibilities during the reign of the Green Wood Dragon! The weather, the cosmos, financial and political structures, wars, famines, and natural disasters continue to simmer and erupt. We are all part of the fabric of the world we inhabit, and believe it or not, we are all linked inextricably to each other. On our cellular level, all of the exterior disharmony has been registering, interrupting and interfering with our human energetic vibrations as we make attempts to find harmony in the cataclysm of shift and change that surrounds us. continue reading
YOU MATTER!
Be who you are and say what you feel
Because those who mind DON’T MATTER
And those who MATTER don’t mind.
~~ Dr Seuss
Greetings to all my precious people!
We are winding down the blustery month of March, ending the first quarter of the year and hopefully finding a rhythm to our daily life that supports our wellbeing. Perhaps you have been able to set aside some moments to revisit your delightful amazing Self, as you remember your connection to everything around you. The foundations of Chinese medicine focus on the interconnectedness of all things, and we are not only part of the landscape, but that landscape also lives within us – connected by threads in a fabric woven from the stars and the soil, from the wind and the rain. While this might sound poetic, it is in fact the truth: we are all part of a system, and everything that happens within one part impacts the rest of the system. continue reading
Are You Mind-Full or Mindful?
“Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts.
Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me…
Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”
― Shel Silverstein
Greetings to all my precious people!!
March has arrived with plenty of personality, drenching us in torrents of rain while hinting at the promise of warmer temperatures. Daffodil stalks are peeking up from the soil, along with the tiny white snowdrops and the cup shaped crocuses, Nature’s true harbingers of Spring. We are past the Winter incubation period and entering the season of newness, light and vitality, where hope and optimism abound. continue reading
