Almost 15 years ago I assisted Poney Chiang in teaching his first Neuro-Meridian courses. This week I completed it as a student, and at the end I was given this beautiful certificate to commemorate my achievement.

Even though I have worked with Poney on teaching, and many of his other projects, I always find there's more depth to this medicine we practice. New methods, new ideas, and the further amalgamation of TCM and modern medicine. I'm forever grateful for the work Poney does in developing his material, and his willingness to share that knowledge with us.

Many years in applying what we know. Always learning to do better.

Probably one of the simplest explanations I've come across.

Now that I am back to the clinic, everyone is asking about last week's work, studying the brilliant neuro-meridian systems of Poney's Chiang's

It was amazing to see some of the illustrations I've done for him being used for the classroom, like the brain's Brodmann areas overlaid with our acupuncture points.

Little man is in the hospital for a few days - so I'm living here too!

Getting some rare 1-on-1 time without distractions and work or chores to do. Board games, video games, and books are helping pass the time.

We will see how his recovery goes. I'm expected to have to help him rehab, at least getting activity levels up again, if not manage post-op scarring or other issues.

Healthy sleep is a

Regularity and bedtime rituals (I prefer reading and meditation) can help get your body and mind ready for sleep, leading to more restful slumber.

It's time for pumpkins, apples, and cinnamon - everything orange, red, and yellow.

We love summer, but there's a beauty of autumn that isn't like any other time of year.

If you haven't prepared for winter's cold, add warming spices like cinnamon to your foods and eat seasonal items like squash and apples. These help store your warm energy (yang) for the winter!

Not getting enough sleep (aka. "sleep debt", or "sleep deficit") can have devastating effects on physical and mental health.

We all know that tired people make more mistakes, think more slowly, and often have trouble focusing. Less commonly known are the negative effects on fertility, food cravings, body weight, physical strength and performance, immune function, and cardiovascular health.

To make matters worse, sleep debt is cumulative. Even a few days of poor sleep add up, and chronic sleep debt has been linked to:
-Hypertension
-Diabetes
-Sleep apnea
-Obesity
-Heart attack
-Stroke
-Depression and anxiety

So if you are an athlete, recovering from injury, or just want to live a healthier life, make sure you get your sleep! The simplest way to know if you've gotten enough rest? Ask yourself: do you need an alarm to wake up, and are you very tired and groggy when you do?
