This is my life every day with German Shepherds 😂🥰💕

I’m taking a course on cosmetic acupuncture and testing it out on myself! 😂✨
Starting January, I’ll be offering cosmetic treatments in the student clinic every Monday. Come shine bright like a diamond with me! 😁💎 💖

This is how I prepare my treatment room at the start of all of my clinic shifts 💖✨ (I do a mini version of this in between patients- time permitting):

I start by spritzing lavender oil spray to set the intention. Then a gentle ring of the singing bowl shifts the frequency and breaks up old stagnant energy, and then I walk in a circle or semi-circle -depending how much room I have-with “Qi ball” hands to protect myself energetically and to prepare my hands for treatment, and finally, a quick swipe of the table to remove any and all stagnant or negative energy.

By the time my first patient walks in, the hope is that the room will be centered, nourished, and ready for healing. ✨🪷💆‍♀️

This brings in calm, grounding Qi for, not only my patients, but for myself too!! 🥰💖

Who can relate? I know I can! 😂

Last week I noticed a theme with so many of my patients: mental fatigue, burnout, and insomnia. And honestly…it makes perfect sense. Fall brings change, movement, windiness, scatter-brained energy, dryness, and overall depletion.

Here’s a sample of one of my treatment sessions + recommendations 👇

⸻

🌿 Point Prescription

Buddha’s Triangle (gold-plated needles for tonifying)
(R) LU9, HT7, PC6
(L) Shen Men, Point Zero, Sympathetic
(L) LV4, KD3, SP6
(R) Bloodletting Er Jian
DU20

⸻

✨ Adjunctive Therapies

To support the parasympathetic nervous system + grounding:
• Moxa at KD1
• Three deep belly breaths with orange essential oil before & after treatment
• Reiki to the head + feet to seal in the session

⸻

🧘‍♀️ Recommendations

Create a morning and evening routine with self-regulating practices like gentle movement, journaling, prayer, or meditation.

One of my patients even has a morning dance party 💃🕺—and honestly, I love that! If meditation feels hard, move your body instead. Do what feels right for your nervous system.

Routine is key when the mind feels scattered and the system feels burned out.
Consistent sleep schedule and nourishing meal routines are everything. ❤️

🍂✨ Vata Season & Metal Season —

Fall medicine: nourish, ground, and breathe. Ayurveda calls it Vata season. TCM calls it Metal season. Both call for balance.

Both Ayurveda and TCM teach that fall is a time to slow down, release, and restore.

🌬 Vata Season (Ayurveda):
Dry, cool, and light — Vata rises as air + ether (space) dominate.

🌾 Metal Season (TCM):
Linked to the Lungs + Large Intestine

— It’s time to breathe deeply and let go. Nourish with warmth, oil, routine, gentle exercise, walks, and warm, grounding foods, and embrace reflection + structure.

🍁 Both invite us to simplify, breathe, and return to what truly sustains us.
Warm soups, mindful rest, and gratitude are your medicine now.

🌿✨ Cook with Love and Intention, Eat with Presence

Both Ayurveda and TCM remind us: the energy you bring to your food becomes the energy you carry in your body.

🥣 Cook slowly, with love — let your kitchen be your healing space.
🍲 Choose warm, nourishing meals that comfort your digestion and calm your mind.
🌸 Make your plate beautiful — color, balance, and care feed the senses and the spirit.

When you cook with intention, every meal becomes medicine. 🍃
