“Whatever happens, stay alive. Don't die before you're dead. Don't lose yourself, don't lose hope, don't lose direction.
Stay alive, with yourself, with every cell of your body, with every fiber of your skin.
Stay alive, learn, study, think, read, build, invent, create, speak, write, dream, design.
Stay alive, stay alive inside you, stay alive also outside, fill yourself with colors of the world, fill yourself with peace, fill yourself with hope.
Stay alive with joy.
There is only one thing you should not waste in life, and that's life itself."
~Virginia Woolf

The Heart Channel - so many great acupuncture points lie along here 🔥

🔥 Last week we posted about the fire element energy being either in excess or deficiency in the body and what kind of symptoms we might see when that happens…

🔥 This post is about a third energetic state, where the fire element is both deficient and excess within us, and it creates symptoms of what we call "false heat" in the body.

🔥 These are mainly heat signs, but are not full in nature, like those seen in a state of excess fire.

🔥 Symptoms might include flushed cheeks (not the whole face), night sweats, mouth sores, heat in palms of the hands & soles of the feet, hot flushes, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, late afternoon fevers, big emotions, or feeling exhausted easily.

🔥 False fire is a deficiency condition from a depletion of Yin - the cooling, moisturising, calm, quiet energy in the body.

So when we identify these symptoms in ourselves or in our patients, we can choose specific acupuncture points, and / or offer lifestyle guidance to help us return to balance once more.

“We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don't really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It's just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.”
