1. It’s over 2,000 years old
TCM has been practiced for thousands of years and is still widely used today alongside modern medicine.

2. Balance is everything
TCM is based on the idea of Yin and Yang—your body stays healthy when opposing forces are balanced (like hot/cold, rest/activity).

3. Your organs have a “body clock”
There’s something called the Chinese organ clock, where each organ is most active at certain times of day.
Example: the lungs are strongest early in the morning.

4. “Qi” is your life energy
TCM says your body runs on Qi (pronounced “chee”).
When Qi flows smoothly, you feel good—when it’s blocked, you may feel sick or tired.

5. Acupuncture points are very specific
Acupuncture uses hundreds of precise points on the body, and even tiny changes in needle placement can make a difference.

6. Food is considered medicine
In TCM, everyday foods are used to heal and balance the body, not just fill you up.
For example, some foods are considered “warming” and others “cooling.”

7. Seasons affect your body
Each season (like autumn) is linked to different organs and health patterns, so TCM changes advice depending on the time of year.

8. Emotions are linked to organs
TCM connects emotions to physical organs.
Example: stress affects the liver, grief affects the lungs.

We’re surrounded by advice.
Podcasts, reels, books, mentors, friends with opinions.

And while there’s value in other people’s wisdom and experience, here’s what most of us forget:
the greatest wisdom you’ll ever access already lives inside you.

Your nature knows. It always has.

But when you do find yourself drawn to someone else’s ideas or inspired by their path, which is also completely fine.
Just don’t forget to check in with yourself.

Notice what it does to you.
Does it energise you? Follow it.
Does it scare you? Explore it.
Does it bore you? Drop it.

Your internal feedback is the most important and honest advisor you’ll ever have.
Trust it. Trust you.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn is basically about slowing down and letting go.

It’s linked to the lungs and dryness
Your body starts to store energy instead of spending it
You might notice things like dry skin or a dry throat
Emotionally, it’s connected to grief and releasing things

Autumn in TCM is the time to rest a bit more, take care of your lungs, and let go of what you don’t need, physically and emotionally.

Point Name: Taichong (Liver 3) - "Great Rushing"
Function: This is an important point on the Liver meridian, also known as the Shu-Stream and Yuan-Source point. It is associated with the Earth element within the Liver channel.

Location: This point is situated on the top of the foot, in the valley or webbing between the big toe and second toe. Use your thumb or index finger to apply pressure between the bones. When performing acupressure, begin with light pressure, as this point may be tender. Gradually increase the pressure to moderate to firm, massaging for 1-2 minutes.

Benefits:

Liver Qi Regulation: Supports the flow of energy (qi) in the Liver meridian, helping to alleviate stress and symptoms of stagnation such as pain, mood swings, and tension.
Wind Subduing: Helps in calming the Liver and mitigating wind-related issues.
Blood and Yin Nourishment: Supports the nourishing functions of the Blood and Liver yin.

General Information: While the Liver doesn't produce qi, it plays a crucial role in maintaining a smooth and balanced flow of qi throughout the body. When Liver qi becomes stagnant, it can cause feelings of pressure, distention, and discomfort, often in areas traversed by the Liver and Gallbladder channels. Emotional expression and physical movement can help release stagnation and promote qi flow.

The name "Great Rushing" highlights this point's role in facilitating the flow of qi through the channel. It is a primary point for promoting free-flowing Liver qi and resolving stagnation that may cause pain and discomfort in various areas of the body.

Any path that cannot survive your laughter is probably built on something rather shaky.
Laughter is powerful.
Embrace the fool.
It’s often exactly what is needed.

Our adventure to Japan will soon be under way and we can't wait, especially to hug my eldest lads after their time living and working in Nozawa Onsen. I’m sure skiing, amazing food, culture and plenty of fun are ahead of us as a family!

Travel always gives me fresh perspective. It helps shift what’s stuck and reminds me what truly matters. It’s wonderful for our Qi — a real state changer, much like acupuncture itself.

Change is constant, and learning to move with it keeps us healthy and happy.

Of course, my needles are coming with me, I never leave home without them. I’m also hoping to experience a treatment with a Japanese Acupuncture Sensei while I’m there.

Take care and I’ll see you all very soon.

When we ask another to meet our deeper needs,
the relationship starts carrying what belongs to us,
our growth.
Taking this back changes and empowers, everything.
