A NEW YEAR'S MESSAGE (AND VISUALIZATION) FROM OUR DIRECTOR, CHRIS AXELRAD.
===============
Can you believe 2023 is already winding down and we're about to cross over into 2024?
Hard for me to believe, anyway. 😶
As we enter this new year, I wanted to make sure to say THANK YOU for your support, kindness, and presence here.
Our mission is simply this: To help you make your life what you want it to be.
This may not sound super "medical", but it's how we see medicine at The Axelrad Clinic.
True, we're experts in helping women who want a NATURAL, non-pharmaceutical way to overcome hormonal and gynecological conditions.
But, ultimately, it's about living with more joy and purpose, isn't it?
I have a saying that I try to live by and that I also teach in my courses for other doctors: "Life Itself Is Medicine."
I 100% believe this because over 20 years (our official 20 year anniversary is Feb 4th, 2024) I've seen the patients I've been blessed to work with transform their lives in so many ways not just with our treatment plans but by changing the way they live - their habits, their attitude, and their perspective.
Our lives already contain everything we need to heal body, mind, and spirit. All we have to do is open our eyes to new ways of seeing the beauty and abundance all around us.
Sure, sometimes we need help and at times we may need drugs, vitamins, surgery, acupuncture or other therapies to give us that boost.
And that's OK!
Never feel ashamed or "less than" for getting that help. The way I see it is if we didn't need help, we wouldn't be here on Earth.
And, I believe the most powerful medicine of all, by far, is loving-kindness. And not just for others, but for OURSELVES.
So I invite you as the year comes to a close, look back on 2023 for a minute. I know you had some goals that did not come to fruition yet, because we all do. NOBODY checks EVERYTHING off their wish list.
It's easy to dwell on what's not there, what's missing, and how we think we fell short. Don't do that. 🚫
"Reflect, learn, and move on."
Staying stuck on the past only weighs us down and darkens our light.
Let's make sure we shift our minds in a new direction. Let's make medicine!
1. Close your eyes right now, take a few deep breaths, and look for the ways you DID overcome, conquer, and grow. I know you made progress because we all do!
2. I want you to then acknowledge and honor yourself for that progress, even if it was just a few steps forward (or just ONE for that matter). Don't take an INCH for granted.
3. Think of all the people in your life who were part of that. Deeply feel - not just mentally but in your body - the gratitude and appreciation for all of them (even the ones who may have been in your way because they too served a purpose in your journey). 🙏
4. Now turn and look at the road ahead. Again, FEEL a sense of joyful childlike anticipation and excitement as you envision the best version of 2024 you can think of. Take your time! Let it be clear and complete to the best of your ability. Let yourself dream again, and fill yourself with that loving-kindness as you experience that dream.
5. Finally, say to yourself: "It is done. I have no doubt, I declare this to be true!"
This is the MOST powerful medicine there is and you always have the power to go within and access it.
===============
Here's to your powerful journey into the New Year, 2024! We'll be here rooting for you and standing by ready to help in case you need it. ❤️
Sincerely, Chris Axelrad, M.S.O.M., L.Ac. - Founder and Clinical Director
