Announcing the benefits of 5-point Auricular Acupuncture and that I am now offering this service in my practice. Tension relief, improved emotional and spiritual health, and relaxation. Five pins are placed in each ear and then the person sits in quiet for 35-45 minutes enjoying a coloring page or just listening to music. When time is up, pins are removed and the person is encouraged to drink extra water for the rest of day and enjoy the benefits which are described as relaxed, motivated/clearer mind, and they experience a good night sleep after.

I think midlife is when the Universe gently places her hands upon your shoulders, pulls you close, and whispers in your ear:
I’m not screwing around. It’s time. All of this pretending and performing – these coping mechanisms that you’ve developed to protect yourself from feeling inadequate and getting hurt – has to go.

Your armour is preventing you from growing into your gifts. I understand that you needed these protections when you were small. I understand that you believed your armor could help you secure all of the things you needed to feel worthy of love and belonging, but you’re still searching and you’re more lost than ever.

Time is growing short. There are unexplored adventures ahead of you. You can’t live the rest of your life worried about what other people think. You were born worthy of love and belonging. Courage and daring are coursing through you. You were made to live and love with your whole heart. It’s time to show up and be seen.
