BREATHWORK - SPRING ENERGETICS
Online 8pm est 4/28

Spring is the season of the wood element, governed by the liver and gallbladder meridians. This is the season where what has been growing out of sight bursts through into visibility and the sunlight. Let us breathe in this potent time of renewal and growth, let us embody the energy of the color green and maybe even let in some hope and joy this season has to offer.

Breathwork is an active meditation that by occupying the mind creates space for the body to release somatic holding, to experience emotion that might not be available at the surface and to access intuition and insight. This is your practice and I encourage everyone to breathe at a pace that feels right for you and to use this practice as a container of self holding, self listening and self care. Breathwork is a powerful and practical tool to work with your own energy, a bridge out of the critical mind and into deeper resources available to all of us.

I have opinions….
Practices like facial gua sha don't do just one thing so we can stop arguing over what that one thing is. These modalities benefit all aspects, lymph, nerves, circulation, tissue health and muscle function.
Also, we're long overdue for sone new language.
What do you think?

When patients ask what acupuncture does, my answer is usually a less eloquent version of this statement. Acupuncture supports the free movement of qi and blood and thereby the balance of yin and yang. The theories, points and strategies of Chinese medicine are more complicated and our individual experiences of dis-ease and disease in our bodies can be uniquely complicated. It’s helpful for me when I get far out on a complicated limb to return to this basic underlying principle.

As springtime is for beginnings, I’m wondering what is beginning big and small, collectively and personally for all of us. What will we do with this world we’re co-creating and do I really have to pay my taxes this year when my money only goes to destruction and suffering? Also, this quote from Joan Didion is a good reminder. How’s everyone doing?

Breathwork for Being Human is a container to hold the ‘both and’ of being a human on this planet at this time, the grief and joy, the difficulty and beauty, and all the spaces and places in between. Come exactly as you are, bring whatever is going on with you, we will release, make space and call in. Breathwork will meet you where you are and offer a way to hold, shift, understand and integrate your emotions.

To find a new world, maybe you have to have lost one. Maybe you have to be lost. The dance of renewal, the dance that made world, was always danced here at the edge of things, on the brink, on the foggy coast.
— Ursula K. Le Guin

Is it Spring yet? March 5th we entered a time of year known as Jīng Zhé in the solar terms of the Chinese calendar, or the time when the insects awaken. It’s such a great description for early spring as we move toward the equinox, I love the idea of the insects awakening being like a call to the rest of us to start blooming. While the darkest blue black is the color of winter, green is the color we associate with spring, what a shift from black to green. Green is the color of renewal, and we my friends are “on the brink” of renewal. Can you feel in your body what green feels like? Laden with chlorophyll, with life, an energy of brand newness, flirty, young, perhaps a little naive, but oh so hopeful. We had a few days of it before the cold returned, the streets were full of people gathering, emerging from the doldrums of winter. The insects are awake and just below the surface of the earth life is about to burst forth. So it is for us as well. Drink your nettles, enjoy the new variety of fruits and vegetables about to become available; asparagus, rhubarb, fiddle head ferns, support your liver with dandelion and milk thistle, symbolically clean out a drawer to cleanse and make room for the new.

Come try Breathwork this Tuesday at in Brooklyn. This is the practice that changed my life and it’s an honor to share it.

Active Breathwork offers the opportunity to travel out of our busy minds and into the realm and wisdom of our bodies. Who are you at the energetic level? What are the qualities of your unique energetic self? What messages lie within unheard? In this group you will be invited to meet yourself somatically and energetically, to integrate what you discover within so it can continue to evolve with you.

Breathwork is an active meditation that by occupying the mind creates space for the body to release somatic holding, to experience emotion that might not be available at the surface and to access intuition and insight. This is your practice and I encourage everyone to breathe at a pace that feels right for you, we all come to this practice with different life experiences and you are the best expert about what’s right for you.

I couldn’t resist the reintroduction. Acupuncturists often see people who’ve seen everyone else first or when Western medicine (though incredible) doesn’t have answers. This is because we don’t treat symptoms, we look at patterns and we treat whole people. I often hear patients say, I don’t know if this is relevant but… If it’s on your mind it’s relevant, from dreams to old injuries, to emotional stresses. We look at and consider everything and personally I’m most interested in the connections you are making in your body. My primary lens is Chinese medicine, I love offering “beauty” treatments that are focused on healthy tissue instead of outdated beauty standards, I’m passionate about liminal practices like Breathwork, Reiki and Yoga Nidra. Welcome 🤍

FIRE HORSE BREATHWORK GROUP
8pm est 2/17 online

We are moving from the transformation of the wood snake year to the fast gallop of the fire horse. Together we will use the breath practice to shed what’s left of the snake and meet this coming year with energy and intention. Fire horses are passionate, bold and offer new opportunities. It brings with it a lot of change at a fast pace. In breath we’ll welcome it and do our best to prepare for the ride.

Still wintering and available for wonder and miracles.

“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air to be a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child - our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”
Thich Nhat Hanh, The Miracle of Mindfulness

Fire cupping is a favorite in my practice. I love it for how it benefits circulation, lymphatic flow, the immune system, and muscular tension. On the abdomen it’s a great support to the organs of digestion, detoxification and reproduction. On the back it’s so supportive to a healthy spine and spinal processes. Cupping has been used for thousands of years and by many cultures. Have you tried cupping?
