Indexing is a true labor of perseverance. Trying to balance the chaos of indexing with this lovely bookmark made by someone special.

Dreaming about giving people acupuncture is almost never pleasant. It's always a stranger who somehow is up and walking around with needles while I'm frantically trying to pull them. Also it's always a ton of needles. Way more than in a real treatment.

Thanks brain.

Many misunderstandings and arguments in our lives are simply due to one person not knowing enough information.

This story isn't about an argument but is definitely a) funny and b) illustrates my point.

I asked Jonah how he wanted his toast "light, medium, or dark" and he answered "light medium". Once I explained that there were three options he chose "light".

We make too many assumptions about the knowledge and observations of others

Just a moment of gratitude toward my patients. It's a true honor that you trust me to hold space and facilitate personal growth and shifting in this crazy world. May your time in my treatment room be a small moment of peace.

After watching/listening to Encanto a handful of times by now (Rory loves it) it seems like it's a movie about benevolence toward others. That we don't truly know what anyone else's experience is.

Kindness goes a long way. It could even make/save a miracle.

For Valentine's day the wife and I made a quick trip to the grocery store before picking up the youngest from Pre-K.

In that quick trip we must've done about a dozen little inside jokes. Cracking each other up the whole time.

Sometimes it's not about the gifts but the quality time spent together.

Wanted to post this quote from "Power vs. Force" by David R. Hawkins M.D., Ph.D.

"Simple kindness to one's self and all that lives is the most powerful transformational force of all. It produces no backlash, has no downside, and never leads to loss or despair... But to reach maximum power, such kindness can permit no exceptions, nor can it be practiced with the expectation of some selfish reward." p. 128-129

Gave my ideal headache treatment today.

Patient came in with pain and pressure on one side. We did some trigger point needling to relieve muscle tension. Some gua sha on different muscles. A couple cups. Then some energy needling.

With pain I feel it's best to treat both the physical and energetic. This patient had some emotional reasons to be tight but also an immediate physical need for relief.

I'm not a big believer in charging per service. This treatment is a good example of that. 4 different "services" in one treatment. Whatever the patient needs to feel better.

Loved this quote. Tomorrow is a new day no matter what happens today.

The Jevons Paradox was invented by William Stanley Jevons in 1865. A British economist, he noticed how as trains became more efficient that MORE coal got used instead of less.

Why? The market for coal grew around that efficiency. Even though it cost less to run the train, making coal essentially cheaper, coal also became more valuable.

How can we apply this? Note spots in your life where you have greater efficiency. Like time. As all things become more efficient due to smart phones, mobile payment, etc, we have more time to consume more things and can feel overwhelmed.

Happy to discuss if people disagree with my take.

Actual acupuncture statement made by my wife yesterday morning:

"Sometimes your wood energy is boring."

I wanted to divide and each of us drop off a kid at school and she wanted to do it all together.

Is wood energy boring or efficient?

My Story

I remember my first migraine-like yesterday. I was 22 years old and living with a roommate in Northern New Jersey where I was a High School chemistry and physics teacher. My head pounded, and no position I found made any of the pressure feel better. As the child of two chiropractors, headaches came with an adjustment and nap. Now, with no one to turn to for help at 9pm on a Saturday, I was stuck. My body, without an answer, ran to the bathroom where only some violent vomiting released the pressure. What the heck was happening to me?

After taking a job closer to home, I experienced the worst year of my life. Even though I was a teacher, I stared at a computer for hours a day, grading all the work from a mostly online course. The sitting and staring at a bad angle got to me. Physically, I felt trapped; but the emotional stress of a colleague who yelled at me on a regular basis was worse. The headaches and stress got so bad that I made the decision to switch careers. Who knew that my dream job turned nightmare would lead me to one of the most rewarding things I’d ever done in my life.

At the end of the school year, I enrolled in the local acupuncture school, graduating in 2013. Since then, helping people has become my passion. Through my very own uniquely developed system of assessment and treatment, I aid people in making their own epiphanies so that treatments work on both the physical level of balancing the body and the emotional level of love seeing people transform before their eyes, leaving their symptoms in the past.

Making personal epiphanies about both physical and emotional stressors has helped to limit my own headaches, and sharing the lessons to help treat people and improve their quality of life has become one of life’s true pleasures.
