I have recently been guided to a sense of hollowness in my solar plexus. It felt like a knot in a tree. An old wound. A healed scab that left space for new life.

Birds and squirrels sound nice. But what about ants, so busy, so intent on the goal, never once think about themselves.

There is beauty in that.

I believe that we all have seasons within us. Especially as women. We cycle through all of the seasons every month with clear delineation and little recognition.

Spring: Building
Summer: Proliferation
Fall: Shedding
Winter: Release

And we begin again. Sit with this for a minute. And then 9 minutes more. We are the microcosm.

Breathe this in...Our breath is the wind. We need a gentle breeze to carry the seed.

Here's a sneak peek...Think of the endometrium as the soil - EARTH...

Ideally, the lining of the uterus builds and sheds every month, right?!? This allows for a chance to refresh the soil every month! What an amazing opportunity to recreate your environmental health regularly. So, we will talk about the health of YOUR EARTH/YOUR SOIL. Are you getting pregnant and unable to hold the pregnancy? Maybe we need to fertilize the soil!

Hoping to meet you in May!

Whether it is a seed that sprouts on the wind, a cloud that forms and creates the storm that feeds the seed, or the tiny chick, destined for greatness, that eats the fruit. It is all miraculous. This time of year gets us excited, inspired and ready to dust off the winter and welcome new beginnings.

Acupuncture helps to calibrate our bodies to the fluctuations that accompany the change of seasons.

People often ask me what is the best frequency for acupuncture care. That answer of course varies for each individual at any given time.

….And, quarterly treatments support every body’s system through seasonal transitions!

Be well, y’all! Happy Fall!

Fall Tune Up

The autumnal equinox occurs as the sun crosses the celestial equator going south. It is our official welcome to Fall, and seasonal transitions are a wonderful time to attune our body systems to the cosmic and environmental influences. After all, in Chinese medicine, we consider the body to be a microcosm of the macrocosm. And when our external environment shifts, our internal environments shift too!

Much like the leaves of a tree, our lungs also become dry this time of year. Our bodies are designed to seek balance. It’s natural response to dryness is to create moisture. Makes sense, however, with the added influence of irritants, such as allergens, we often notice an over-abundance of mucus. You know what I mean…runny nose, congestion, sinus pressure…these are all a build-up of added moisture. “Better out, than in”, wouldn’t you say?

Acupuncture can assist in fine tuning this delicate balance, so that when the cooler air brings pathogens, they are less likely to get stuck in the sticky stuff and cause further discomfort. We want everyone to be able to enjoy the leaves, cooler temperatures and opened windows.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy transition into Fall.
