Sharing one of my favorite spots in Ireland.
Brazen in Dublin is a great place to get a drink and delicious Irish Stew. 💚
The bartenders are knowledgeable and passionate about their drinks, and they're always happy to help you find the perfect drink to suit your mood.
The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and the music is always good.
If you're looking for a place to enjoy a few drinks and spot on Irish food with friends, Brazen in Dublin is the perfect spot.

Beautiful day in Dublin. Lunch with some qigong classmates, evening tram into downtown for some dinner and walking around Temple Street. Found a small tucked away pub with locals singing along with the musicians. They sure do love John Denver, Take me home, Country roads.
Take Me Home, Country Roads is a big hit in Ireland and has entered the popular consciousness, being a staple of cover bands in local pubs. It has also been used for a long running ad campaign for the national bus service.
On a more fundamental level, its theme of nostalgia for home and longing to return naturally, resonates in a country where mass emigration was a fact of life.

Walking alleys of Dublin is also an incredible experience in itself. From cobbles to stone, to concrete, everything blends together, creating this faceless, lost elegance to the streets. The places that were little bazaars and streets from a different era also feel like time capsules.

Love me some MU!!!!
Treating the stomach and chest is one of my most favorite things to do. I call this region “the turtle.” The back of a turtle is organized and each section has a meaning and purpose. Being able to not just treat organs, but also treat neck, arm, leg or lower back pain from the stomach is powerful. Thank you AcuPro Academy for your meaningful educational tools. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

The places where water comes together with other water. Those places stand out in my mind like holy places. ― Raymond Carve

Your tongue is connected via a fascial rudder system that runs right down to your toes.
In nearly all my patients, I see poor tongue posture, and the links to bad spinal posture, breathing, and other issues can be traced throughout the body.
The tongue is so influential to spinal health in how it supports proper head posture. When the tongue is down and forward, forward head posture and mouth breathing occurs.
Over time this associates with a narrow jaw, crooked teeth, and sleep disorders.
But… you guessed it, as always the mouth is a gateway for so many other systems in the body.
The tongue is an extremely complex muscular and fascial rudder system. This dissection via shows the deep front line fascial connection.
It guides all the structures of the myofascial continuity that runs from the inner arch of the foot all the way up through the middle of the body to the tongue and jaw muscles.
Isn’t that amazing?
Actually the tongue is potentially more important for core stability than turning on your actual core.
Our core begins deep under the arch with the insertions of the tendons from the lower leg, especially tibialis posterior.
To find its insertion, feel just under the inside arch of the foot, just underneath and forward of protrusion of the navicular bone you can feel a bit over an inch in front of your tibial malleolus on the inside of your ankle.
This point will respond to a soft-but-energy-rich touch that is held, and also to a more firm and direct fascial release. Pressing here can make a flow of feeling run up the fascial line.
So for better core support, spinal, hip and leg strength, you need to work on your tongue posture.
During exercise practice sealing the tongue to the roof of the mouth, this turns on the fascial rudder to the toes.
It takes time and you need to work on making the BACK of the tongue connect to the soft palate.
When you swallow, the tongue should move upwards and backwards against the hard and soft palate, not down and forward.
Have you noticed open mouth posture in you or a family member?
