Dreams More Intense?

If you’ve ever noticed your dreams changing after acupuncture… you’re not alone.

More vivid.
More emotional.
Sometimes just stranger than usual.

In Chinese medicine, dreaming is connected to the Hun , the ethereal soul, the part of you that moves, processes, and wanders at night.

When things start to shift in the body, the Hun can become more active.

At the same time, we’re working to settle the Shen, the consciousness, so sleep becomes deeper… even if your dreams feel a little louder for a while.

This is often part of the process.

Things moving.
Things reorganizing.
Your system finding its way back to balance.

It doesn’t last forever, but it does tell us something is changing 🤍

I’ve been working on something small behind the scenes

A simple acupressure kit
A little menu of points depending on what your body needs that day

They arrived today 🤍

Sleep, stress, headaches… what would you reach for first?

Testing the morning blend today ☕🌿

Light, a little floral, slightly citrusy… exactly the kind of cup that feels gentle to wake up with.

Still playing with ratios, but also reacquainting myself with the TCM energetics as I go, building something that supports digestion and ease first thing in the morning.

A very nice start to the day.

I’m seeing this pattern more and more in clinic, especially in women entering perimenopause.
Hypermobility, nervous system sensitivity, ADHD/autistic traits… all showing up together.
For a lot of women, this isn’t new — it’s just finally becoming visible.

A little update from my tea experiments 🌿

This blend started simmering after a conversation with a close friend who has been going through a really hard season. It got me thinking about how, in Chinese medicine, certain herbs are traditionally used to nourish the Heart and calm the spirit.

So this one became something a little more intentional.

Rose, chrysanthemum, and a few other gentle herbs that support emotional regulation and softness when life feels heavy.

I’ve been calling it “Ritual of Care.”

Still experimenting with the ratios, but this one already feels like it carries a lot of heart.

Finally testing the first blend ☕

It’s always fascinating to see how a tea changes once it actually hits hot water. The aroma, the flavour, the way the herbs interact…

Definitely a promising start.

More experimenting to come!

A little update from my herbal blending experiment 🌿

After laying everything out and reacquainting myself with the TCM energetics of the herbs, I put together the first small test blend.

Still playing with ratios, but it’s always interesting to see how plants come together both in flavour and function.

Herbal blending day over here 🌿

I started making the first tiny test batches of the tea blends I’ve been thinking about. It’s been nice reacquainting myself with the TCM energetics of the herbs while I play with flavour combinations.

Waking between 1–3am lately?
In Chinese Medicine that’s Liver time and spring is Liver season. 🌿

You’re not the only one noticing sleep changes right now. Many people have been mentioning restless sleep or waking at the same time every night lately.

In Chinese Medicine we look at sleep patterns through the organ clock, where each system has a window of activity during the night.

If you keep waking at the same time, it can sometimes give clues about what the body is processing.

This time of year especially (late winter moving into spring), sleep disturbances tend to show up more often.

Curious… what time are you waking up?

🔥 Yang in Overdrive 🔥

In Chinese Medicine, aggressive or irritable energy is often heat rising + Qi moving too fast — with not enough Yin to cool and calm.

Signs:
⚡ Quick temper
⚡ Body tension
⚡ Red face or eyes
⚡ Poor sleep

Rebalance:
🌿 Cooling foods
🌬 Slow breathing
🚶‍♀ Gentle movement
🌑 Quiet moments

✨ Acupuncture helps release heat, settle the mind, and bring Yin + Yang back into harmony.
