It’s always good to know where you are.

The spring Equinox is peak wood element: enthusiastic, upward, driven, powerful, energetic, direct.

When out of balance it can be frustrated, irritable, angry, tight or it can show up as unmotivated, unconfident, depressed... Just a snapshot of possibilities.

East Asian Medicine, acupuncture, herbs, qigong, feng shui, five element philosophy... provide insight and solutions to rebalance. If you haven’t scheduled your seasonal tuneup, now is a great time to do so. Link to schedule is in my bio.

May you have easy access to your uncynical heart.

Acupuncture Point Conception Vessel 17, (CV-17, Ren-17), Shangzhong = Between The Breasts, Yuaner = Primordial Child, Location is on the anterior midline, level with the 4th intercostal space…

"Virtue: Touches the uncynical heart of the child.

CV-17 is a reunion point among the heart, heart protector and lung officials. By synchronizing the functions of these three officials, harmony is restored to the upper jiao. The name 'primordial child' denotes the ability of CV-17 to reestablish the influence of the child's pure heart in guiding life unaffected by heart breaks."

"Functions:
1. Mu point of the pericardium
2. Reunion point of Qi
3. Point of the Sea of Qi
4. Reunion point of Conception Vessel with the Spleen, Kidney and Triple Heater channels

Xmas phase 2: High Tea at the Claremont Hotel. Christmas Eve was always the big celebration night in my family growing up. Big extended family dinner. Santa anticipation. Church with beautiful singing (my Grandpa had an amazing voice. It would bring you to tears.) I’m so grateful to have family on the west coast to create new traditions with on Christmas Eve. AND I’m excited for a cozy, low key, Christmas Day. What’s your favorite Christmas Tradition?

Rebel: "A person who resists authority, control or convention."

At first I was unsure. Am I a rebel? Then I was like, OH! OF COURSE I AM!

I had so much fun being a guest on the *What A Rebel* podcast of artist and graphic designer, Lisa Mazur. We talked about how to navigate the corporate world with grace, career changes, menopause and how to navigate the dissonance of the quiet and stillness that winter creates for us when there are so many external, summery demands for our attention.

Thanks again for a fab time Lisa! You can check out Lisa's amazing artwork at and the link to listen is in my IG bio or FB comments.

**You Are Here**

Sleeping later, craving quiet, maybe a little extra introspective... This is normal! The earth, the seasons, the natural progression of energy is beckoning us inward. Can you yield to the energetic shift? It might feel uncomfortable at first. I know that modern life is designed to keep us operating in an eternal summer. But there's a deliciousness to the involution process.

AND some of my patients are already talking about the earliest threat of seasonal affective disorder, melancholy and the worry of looming depression. It's not delicious for everyone.

Chinese Medicine offers solutions and relief to make the involution easier and the mood lighter. Do you want to learn more about how it can help? Link to schedule a free, 15 minute consult in bio.
