Happy year of the Wood dragon!

I asked my friend and bazi astrologer Yuen Wong for a quick rundown of what we are dealing with, universal Qi-wise? A long discussion ensued about how one size doesn’t fit all, and as a doctor of Chinese medicine and astrologer we understand each other perfectly: it all depends. Your chart will determine how dragon year will pass for you, just like your constitution and lifestyle matter when I start treating your illness. But here’s a quick synapse:

“It looks like for most zodiacs it’s a year of Change. Granted we do have to look into the hour, day, month, and year pillars. But generally we should be aware and adaptable.

It’s a fantastic time to try something completely new. It’s a year of action, of doing. But with all things in the midst of doing and action, be aware of mental health.

The Yang energy may affect liver and gallbladder so perhaps limit drinking this year. Yang energy and liver (liver fire) issues can also cause outbursts so be constantly mindful and incorporating relaxing activities would be beneficial.

Studying spirituality is especially helpful. Now I don’t believe color and wearing certain pendants can change your destiny but being aware of one self and be able to look within from out is the key to any success. Bazi for me is just a looking glass of self awareness. Some people get dealt bad cards, and we look for ways to transcend our charts. Which is a topic for another day. But definitely be aware of those that advertise lucky numbers, colors and charms”

If you want a personal chart, message me for Yuen Wong’s contact, you might just manage to grab a spot on her schedule.

And I’m planning a live to look into Chinese medicine side of things for the year of Yang Wood and what it means for our physiology and wellbeing.

新年快乐, 恭喜发财!

Do you consult astrology in matters of health?

TO GRAIN OR NOT TO GRAIN?⠀
⠀
I was grain-free for a few years, strictly at first, becoming looser as time went on and my intestinal tract healing went deeper.⠀
⠀
I experimented with many grain-free bread recipes. They kept my freezer filled to the brim with almond flour. They had me borrowing kitchen equipment from friends to process kilos of nuts into smooth butter. They kept me happy - while what came out was certainly not bread, it was close enough to deliver shape, chewiness and vehicle functions of bread.⠀
⠀
Then I started making exceptions for parties and dinners out, gauging how I felt and tightening the restriction where necessary - I LOVED bread, but I loved feeling energetic, vibrant and unbloated more than I love bread, especially its commercial varieties full of enhancers and non-food ingredients. ⠀
⠀
I have a sourdough starter with a name that I feed and turn into bread regularly all by myself 😂⠀
⠀
I am still listening to my body carefully, but sourdough seems to be better tolerated by me and some of my clients who have gone through deep gut repair process. For some, grain-free living seems to still be the best - I work on case by case basis through custom wellness program and muscle testing.⠀
⠀
What is your relationship with bread?⠀
🍞 all fair and square⠀
🥨it’s complicated ⠀

Yesterday I shared exciting news about satisfying 11-hour sleep I had. After a couple of nights of very average sleep, a packed client schedule and a spell of struggle to fold in for the night on time, it felt like a full-blown vacation. I felt like a queen. And I felt yet again compelled to share how important sleep was for well-being.⠀
⠀
My DMs were flooded with responses from friends who are new moms, mostly to children under 2 years old. I am not a parent, but I can imagine at least in part what it feels like, to live in the fog. As someone who had yearly winter bouts of insomnia for a number of years, I felt the pang of dread and hopelessness reading those messages. I also felt like we are failing not just mothers, but also children and society at large.⠀
⠀
As a kinesiologist and acupuncturist I routinely work a lot with sleep disturbance. A lot of time it’s about rebuilding habits, shifting a few ideas around worthiness and productivity, educating the client on physiology. But I can’t help much where there is no support system for a new mother to claim her rightful rest. Where she alone carries out infant care. Where she is taught to cultivate self-sacrificing maternal instinct and to feel guilt when she puts her oxygen mask first, hires help, expects partner to shoulder the responsibility. ⠀
⠀
I can speak from experience of being the child of chronically sleep deprived mother who worked in NICU and sometimes went on 3 shifts straight: day, night, day again. A tender, kind woman, she would be stuck in survival mode, with all the emotional repercussions of that: anger, resentment, fight mode, and I was on the receiving end of that. I recognize now that so many of our violent screaming matches were from me needing her presence, and her feeling like she had nothing else to give. Because she barely slept for decades.⠀
⠀
Where can we support you, mothers? And where can you be more forthcoming with your needs, leaving guilt and shame for asking?⠀
⠀
P.S. I have an idea: call every person who ever asked you when you’re going to have a baby and tell them they are the new night nanny 😆⠀
I’m not a parent yet and even I will be set for a month

HOW DOES BIOENERGETIC KINESIOLOGY SESSION HAPPEN?⠀
⠀
1️⃣ Client’s request. Anything from chronic pain to emotional pattern to feeling stressed to specific illness can be a request. If there are too many requests, muscle testing determines the most urgent stagnation in the river of Qi
When I work online, my own muscles surrogate the client’s neural responses, like the picture.
⠀
We all develop compensations around trauma, but pain and discomfort is a sign compensation is not working anymore. Sometimes it erupts as anger, sometimes as self-sabotage, sometimes as pain, sometimes as infection, because suppression empties immune resources of the body.⠀
⠀
2️⃣ Uncovering. Muscle testing reveals what is really under the surface. Request is simply an entry point.

Everything is connected with everything else in the body, mind and spirit, and everything can be a cover-up for anything else. ⠀
⠀
It’s not rare in my sessions for client to enter through back pain and end up in chronic guilt, enter through migraines and end up in immune deficiency or allergy, enter through anger and end up in childhood trauma.⠀
⠀
Muscle testing and library of kinesiology protocols help me to track where the Qi blockage is in the body, the event that created it and the current trigger.⠀
⠀
3️⃣ Processing & desensitization.⠀
Moving through protocol, we face the trapped energy in a safe environment. With acupressure and other rebalancing techniques I regulate the nervous system response.

The “it” under the surface creates habitual emotional response, which pulls on all biochemical pathways of the body. Even when we don’t have active memory of what happened, such as when I trace stressful event to infancy or even past life or ancestral experience, we feel the body’s reaction.⠀
⠀
Through the session we separate the emotional charge from the facts of our history. You integrate the experience and reclaim the Qi that was frozen in the blockage.⠀
⠀
4️⃣Integration. I recommend to take 10-15 minutes in silence immediately after the session to digest the experience. The integration will keep happening between the sessions.⠀

“YIN AND YANG are the Dao 道” - teaches I-Ching. Unity of Yin and Yang makes up the universe and every single atom of every single being in it.⠀
⠀
Sun is Yang and moon is Yin ☀️🌑
⠀
Fire is Yang and water is Yin 🔥💧
⠀
Action is Yang and rest is Yin 🤸🧘
⠀
Yin and Yang are the opposites, yet they originate from same root and form a whole. They are interdependent and mutually nourish, deplete and balance each other. Without Yin, Yang cannot arise, without Yang, Yin cannot manifest. Without Rest, Action cannot arise. Without Action, Rest cannot manifest.
⠀
TCM is very poetic and philosophical and seemingly removed from practicalities of constipation, painful cycles or headaches. But its deep wisdom always pointed to imbalance of natural order as root cause of any disease. Symptoms are just the manifestation of how much was depleted from one side or another that brings disturbance to the whole. 阴阳相互转化 Yin Yang xianghu zhuanhua - Yin and Yang are inter-transforming, one literally becomes the other in endless dance ☯️

If you only GIVE, you are depleting Yin, and Yang fire rages through the entire body.

Rage not being a figure of speech here - too many clients come to me to work with all-consuming anger that spills out at smallest provocation. Spills at people they love the most.

What they discover is that anger is a self-preservation mechanism of the body that has been worked and worn to the bone.
⠀
If all we do is DO (Yang), and avoid REST (Yin) at all cost, eventually every atom, cell and tissue will be manifesting this imbalance.

Now, in the Spring, anger and rage of Wood element are coming to the surface, and in so many sessions we get back to nurturance, imbalance, martyrdom and self-sacrifice as ways to claim love you don’t give to yourself.

So, where do you try to cheat the system and get by on just the Yang of doing?
