Just before March is over and done, I wanted to acknowledge ENDOMETRIOSIS month here in NZ.

What can often be a debilitating condition for women, I've treated many with ACUPUNCTURE including ABDOMINAL points, points on the EXTRAORDINARY channels, MOXA and/or the HEAT LAMP amongst other things attempting to:

-DECREASE MENSTRUAL PAIN,
-REGULATE the DIGESTIVE and BOWEL ISSUES
-BALANCE THE MIND AND EMOTIONS,
-REGULATE the UTERUS, HORMONES and MENSTRUAL CYCLE.

Have a read about Endometriosis in the post above and look out for follow up information next week
about taking a HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE to understand and manage symptoms.

The fearlessness of the Dragon, backed by the confidence and courage of the WOOD Element and fire of YANG Energy, made 2024 a BOLD year for putting plans into ACTION.

With the SNAKE ruling 2025, it's a year to take your time to action plans- PAUSE, SET AN INTENTION and FOLLOW THROUGH with the RIGHT TIMING using the WISDOM and STRATEGIC ELEGANCE of the WOOD SNAKE.

The SNAKE in Balance -
Strategy Wisdom Transformation
Off Balance - Cunning Ruthless Stuck

The WOOD ELEMENT in Balance-
Courage Flexible and Action
Off balance - Overly assertive/passive Rigid Hyperactivity 

YIN in balance - Restful Quiet Contemplative
Off balance - Lethargy Subdued Rumination

The SLOW CONTEMPLATIVE energy of YIN may assist the hidden perils of the Snakes MOMENTUM when it finally STRIKES.

This can be applied to our personal endeavours and societal aspects/government around the world.

We have the opportunity to learn from the past, let go of old habits, think about the future, make new decisions/habits that help us EVOLVE and TRANSFORM ourselves in a deeper more fulfilling way- like the snake's shedding of skin to RENEW itself.

This is a promising year for maturing and growing wiser.

To help balance ourselves in the year of the YIN WOOD SNAKE we can:

* Slow down, pause and give good thinking to well thought out strategies before acting on plans and goals adopting the Snakes great sense of timing to execute.

* Consider habits and assess plans that no longer serve us. Shed them too the past.

* Take time to evaluate what new habits and plans will serve you for longevity and move forward with confidence and courage.

* As you begin the slow methodical process of transformation, start each day with positive thoughts and feelings.

* Focus on inner growth in a quiet contemplative way, shifting our physical experience to a more spiritual one.

* Deepen your connection to nature using the Snakes ability to tune into the heartbeat of Earth. A great time to develop your intuition and deepen connections.

Looking forward to seeing you in this magical year. Here's to embracing the energy Yin wood snake!

I have attended many CPR classes over the years but was never told this…..
Have you ever thought about it ❤️
When you are alone and have a heart attack.

What are you going to do then ?

A good post that can't be shared often enough:

1.
Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.
2.
You are really tired and frustrated.
All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.
3.
Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..
4.
Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.
5.
How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.
6.
But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.
7.
Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation.
Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment
8.
Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.

9. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.

Instead of posting jokes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message.

Happy Easter all!!!

Shout out to all the people I've had on the table at the The HUB in the last few months and to Kelly Wilson for helping to make it happen 😇.

It's been a real pleasure treating you and for some of you introducing you to Acupuncture and Cupping for the first time.

It'll be a month or so before I'm back for an in-house visit 😊😊

It's time to start building and practising out of the lovely yoga space

@ Ha Pai Wellness in Otaki 💜💜💜
