Words of Wisdom in trying times. May you all be well and find peace, even within the stormy weather, overwhelm and uncertainty. Sending lots of light and love to you all.

Above all else! Find compassion for yourself. Your soul and spirit and body and mind need it desperately!
โœจ
Itโ€™s so easy to be critical and judgmental of the self. I see it in myself as well as in those I love and the patients I treat. So many have such beautiful hearts and are kind and generous with others but when it comes to turning that energy inward, people struggle greatly.
โœจ
We tend to only see our short comings, our mistakes and failures and compare ourselves to those around us, literally non stop.
โœจ
If I could encourage anything in myself and those around me, and especially you reading this right now, is to be kind, gentle and compassionate with yourself. Be patient with your growth and respectful of where you are no matter where that might be on the scale of what you are aiming for in life. Every single cell of your being is looking to you for love and can offer so so much back when you give it that love and encouragement.
โœจ
On a side note, how in the world has it been a month since I posted last ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿค”. I feel like Iโ€™ve been in a cocoon for the last month, this mercury retrograde leading right into this Saturn retrograde has me floating in the darkness of self reflection. But more on that in a future post!

Spring is upon us. A grand meeting point of yin and yang. The cool and interior nature of winter giving way to the warmth and expansion of spring. Important to nourish self and ground in at this time, building a strong foundation for the beautiful growth that is to come. Wind is prominent in the spring, so strong roots are essential.
๐ŸŽ‹โœจ
Some recommendations I have:
๐ŸŽ‹Daily practices and rituals are helpful.
๐ŸŽ‹Qi gong/ tai chi, yoga, stretching, walking.
๐ŸŽ‹Eating more greens, micro blue green algae (chlorella) and cilantro and drinking teas like nettles, milk thistle, mint, green tea, ginger tea and dandelion.
๐ŸŽ‹Making warm cooked foods and broths always recommended for deep nourishment and grounding energy.
๐ŸŽ‹ Wear scarfs to protect the neck from wind to avoid getting sick.
๐ŸŽ‹ Lean into creative pursuits and things that allow you to channel your energy through creativity and self expression.
๐ŸŽ‹ Avoiding damp causing foods (mucus producing foods) like dairy, fried foods, processed foods and sugar.
๐ŸŽ‹Add more ginger, turmeric, black sesame seeds, cinnamon and fennel.
๐ŸŽ‹Drink lemon/ lime water, eat citrus fruits and use more vinegars!
๐ŸŽ‹ Get acupuncture to harmonize yin and yang and support liver, digestive and kidney function.

Happy Spring friends and many blessings!

New article up on the Dear Enlightened One platform! I enjoyed writing this one! It is a meditation on how Chinese Medicine perceives and understands humanโ€™s connection to earth and the cosmos. It offers a deeper understanding on how to live in harmony with yourself and the energy that surrounds you!

Happy March my loves. I hope you are all doing well! Spiting is ALMOST here.

Very interesting article about exercising/ stretching legs and its connection to brain/ nervous system health. So many important meridians (channels of energy) run along the legs and within those meridians extremely important acupuncture points that support whole body health.

Do you exercise or stretch your legs daily?

New research shows that using the legs, particularly in weight-bearing exercise, sends signals to the brain that are vital for the production of healthy neural cells.

A cute informative video about the Chinese Lunar New Year! Yesterday was the first day of the lunar new year. The year of the Golden Pig! ๐Ÿทโœจ๐ŸŽŠ๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŠ

It is a Earth Yin year and the end of a 60 year cycle. Pig seeks balance in life, between social and work. Being a Yin Earth year makes for even more energy to slow down the pace, enjoy life and friends to be able to do the work you are meant to. It is a year for rest and rejuvenation before beginning a new journey next year.

Take time to really embrace the Yin (restful, reflective, quiet energy) and to enjoy your life and the people around you!

I have been practicing acupuncture for six years now and I still get very excited to treat patients who have never had it before!
๐Ÿ˜Šโœจ
Even though acupuncture has become more popular and well respected over the years, I find the majority of people still donโ€™t really understand how it works or what to expect with treatment.
๐Ÿค”โœจ
I like to tell new patients that acupuncture works as an accumulative medicine. You can think about it like a work-out series or anything that you commit to in order to reach your health goals. Similarly, acupuncture treatments build on each other until your body gets strong enough to hold that pattern of health on its own. The body truly does know how to heal itself!
๐Ÿ’ฎโœจ
If you come with an acute condition less treatments are needed and if it is chronic more. Anywhere from 6-12 treatments is an average number for people to expect. BUT acupuncture and Chinese medicine at its heart is a PREVENTATIVE medicine. It wants to keep people well and not let them fall into disease. This is where the actual magic is at.
๐Ÿ’ซโœจ
It drains the body to be diseased and the stress of life, the day to day on the body, the transitions and transformations we go through, these realities are always affecting our mind, body, and emotions all the time. This is why regular treatments are super helpful. Once a month is an average when you are maintaining your health.
๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿคฒโœจ
is a great advocate for the benefits of eastern medicine and the importance of understanding all it has to offer!

Full Moon in Leo tonight. Itโ€™s being called the super blood wolf moon and it is accompanied by a lunar eclipse. It enters Leo at 10:54 pm EST.
โœจ๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ‘๐ŸŒ•โœจ
This is a full moon lunar eclipse which will end a cycle of Leo/ Aquarius nodal axis learning that started on May 10 of 2017. From here we begin to fully embrace the Cancer/ Capricorn nodal axis which began on November 7, 2018. Eclipses represent endings and thus also beginnings.
โœจ๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ‘๐ŸŒ•โœจ
The nodes of the moon are the points where the sun and moonโ€™s orbital paths cross and they act like a compass in our lives. The north node guides us toward a better version of ourselves and the south node exposes our bad patterns and what we must let go of. Each of these nodal cycles last for an average of 18 months.
โœจ๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ‘๐ŸŒ•โœจ
The signs the nodes indicate where we must go toward and what we must let go of. Each of our natal charts are different so looking to where they fall in your particular chart will tell you more about how they will personally affect you, but there is a collective experience we will all embrace as well. Leo north node was teaching us how to fully embrace and be confident about our true identity. Aquarius south node was asking us to let go of people pleasing and caring about what people think when it doesnโ€™t actually serve us.
โœจ๐ŸŒ•๐ŸŒ‘๐ŸŒ•โœจ
This full moon in Leo eclipse should help clarify what you have learned about your true identity over the last 18 months and encourage you to truly embrace it moving forward. Iโ€™m sure you had to struggle to get here! The Cancer/ Capricorn focus over the next year will need you to be confident in who you are, karma is coming down the pipeline to be reckoned with and we will need to use our hearts above our heads in the coming year
