Benefits of Letting Yourself Feel Your Grief

The “emotion” associated with Autumn is Grief…but many people seem to have disassociated themselves from this innate response. In our culture we have been conditioned to not cry everytime we’re moved to. How many times as children did we hear “buck up,” “put on a happy face,” “only babies cry,” or even worse, “what are you crying about…I’ll give you something to cry about.” So many of us were conditioned to not let ourselves feel our grief.

Grief is a NORMAL and NATURAL response to when we lose someone or something that is meaningful to us, healing past wounds, and feeling sad about events in our lives. When we let that energy (grief/sadness) move through us, crying actually contributes to emotional and physical healing.

A question that comes up a lot - and creates a lot of resistance - is how much acupuncture should one person receive?

Unfortunately for our western minds, there is no clear cut answer.

Typically in China, a course of treatment is 10 days in a row. After the course of treatment, the patient waits three days and then comes back in for a reassessment. The treatments often include herbs and any other body work needed (e,g. Cupping, guasha, Qigong). People tend to heal a lot more quickly with this style of treatment.

Why so much back to back?
Acupuncture, in itself, increases Qi and blood circulation and decreases inflammation. The closer the treatments are to each other, the more the Qi and blood are circulating properly. When this occurs, the body is able to heal more quickly and stay in a healthier place overall.

The summer has always been a special time of the year for me. It’s the most yang time on the planet (in the northern hemisphere) and I’ve invariably felt it as a potent time to listen to my heart to guide me in spending as much time camping and hiking in nature as possible, cleaning up unfinished projects that may be weighing me down, and creating something new and/or starting a new project that feeds my Soul.

In Chinese medical theory summer is the time of the Fire element and the time when the organs associated with Fire (Heart, Pericardium, Small Intestine and Triple Warmer) are most “active.”

The Heart is considered the king of all the organs.
