A Reflection on Gratitude 🙏🏻✨

“Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” — Eckhart Tolle

As we enter this week of gratitude, we invite you to pause and return to the sacredness of the present moment. Gratitude is more than a feeling — it is a vibration that softens the heart, clears the mind, and nourishes the body with light. It reconnects us to harmony, flow, and the deeper current of life.

😌 Gratitude for the Mind

Gratitude quiets restless thoughts and reminds the mind of its enoughness.
Each acknowledgment of goodness tells the nervous system: “I am safe. I am supported.”

💛 Gratitude for the Body

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, gratitude helps harmonize the organs:

• It warms the Heart and nourishes the Shen
• Strengthens the Spleen, easing worry
• Uplifts the Lungs, helping release grief and welcome inspiration

When gratitude moves through the meridians, balance naturally returns.

🌟 Gratitude for the Spirit

Gratitude is a remembrance of our interconnectedness.
A simple “thank you” opens the Heart and transforms ordinary moments into portals of presence.

✨ Simple Ways to Practice This Week

• Morning thanks with hands over heart
• A nightly gratitude journal entry
• Breathing in through the heart, exhaling “thank you”
• Offering appreciation to those who support your days

From all of us at Golden Point Acupuncture,
Happy Thanksgiving Week.

May your heart be nourished and your days filled with quiet blessings. ❤️🙏🏻✨

🍁 The Power of Acupuncture and Moxibustion in Fall

Fall is one of the most potent times of year to receive acupuncture, as the body is naturally transitioning and becomes more receptive to seasonal support. Acupuncture during this time helps strengthen the lungs and immune system, supports the large intestine and digestion, boosts overall energy and circulation, and soothes anxiety and seasonal depression.

It also assists in releasing stored grief or stagnation, improves sleep and respiratory health, and warms the body from the inside out.

🔥 Moxibustion, a warming therapy using mugwort, is especially beneficial in the fall. It nourishes Yang energy, dispels cold, enhances immunity, and promotes healthy circulation — making it an ideal complement to your seasonal wellness routine.

🍂 Support your body through the shifts of autumn.
Golden Point Acupuncture is here to help you thrive this season.

Strengthen Your Roots This Fall 🍂

With shorter days and cooler air, our immune systems need extra care.

In Chinese Medicine, the Lungs—which govern breath, boundaries, and immunity—are especially sensitive this season. When they’re out of balance, we may feel it as dry skin, fatigue, low mood, or seasonal sniffles.

✨ Fall is the time to:

🌬 Nourish the Lungs and fluids
🛡 Strengthen your Wei Qi (defensive energy)
🔥 Warm the body and boost circulation

Here’s a classic seasonal tonic to keep your body strong and resilient through the colder months 👇

Fire Cider Recipe

A zesty, immune-boosting folk remedy:

🍎 Apple cider vinegar
🍯 Raw honey
🧄 Garlic
🌶 Jalapeño
🌿 Ginger, horseradish & turmeric

Take 1–2 tbsp daily for immune support or at the first sign of a cold.

At Golden Point Acupuncture, we honor the rhythm of the seasons. This is your time to ground, nourish, and strengthen your roots.

🍁 We’d love to support you this fall — book your seasonal acupuncture session and feel your energy align with the season.

Wishing you warmth and wellness,
Golden Point Acupuncture

“In autumn, all things in nature reach their completion. The grasses and trees bear fruit, the grain ripens, and the harvest is gathered. It is the season of balance and reflection — to conserve what is essential and release what is not.”
— Huangdi Neijing

In Classical Chinese Medicine and the Huangdi Neijing, fall is tied to the Metal element and the organs of the Lungs and Large Intestine. These systems are responsible for letting go on emotional, mental, and physical levels. This is a time of supporting boundaries, protection, immunity, respiration, elimination, detoxification and exhalation. Trees shed their leaves; their energy goes from the outer branches deeper into its trunk and root structure. This autumn season invites us to begin that process of returning to our roots later in the winter, but first its best to release what no longer serves us by finding ways to exhale fully, this could include releasing habits, beliefs, clutter, old emotions, or relationships that create stagnation. This also could mean releasing pent up areas of stagnation in the body via acupuncture, which is one of the main original indications for receiving acupuncture.

Nature beautifully mirrors the internal shifts we experience during the fall. Animals gather and conserve energy. Plants retreat into their roots. Days shorten, signaling the need to rest more and do less. Leaves fall and return to the soil, becoming nourishment for what will grow in the seasons to come. Our bodies naturally respond to these changes, often through shifts in mood, digestion, energy levels, skin health, and immune function.

Fall encourages us to slow down and realign with our inner rhythms and to nourish ourselves more intentionally. After the outward expansion of summer (Yang), fall begins the return inward (Yin). Restorative practices like meditation, gentle movement, nourishing foods, and acupuncture strengthen our Wei Qi (defensive energy) and prepare us for winter’s stillness. 🍂

✨ Behind the Scenes at Golden Point ✨
A message from our founder & lead practitioner, Rebecca Fettig:

🧠 “I took a trip out to Gil Hedley’s lab in Colorado Springs earlier this month for a week-long unfixed cadaver dissection. What an experience!

Learning anatomy is a life-long pursuit within the fields of acupuncture I practice in clinic. The human body is an abyss of interconnected parts. This is a truth that’s explained in its own unique way in the Huangdi Neijing, which laid out a wealth of anatomical knowledge over 2000 years ago — a depth that would impress even the most knowledgeable modern-day anatomists.

Gil Hedley is one of our unique modern-day anatomists who also sees the study of anatomy as an integral system. Everything in the body turns into everything else and is woven together by a fascial matrix.

🫀 The dissections we did were rich with experience every moment. We were constantly surprised by how the anatomy in front of us didn’t always follow what’s shown in textbooks. We were humbled by our donors’ hearts and their willingness to give us this great gift.

🌿 I was making interesting connections between old Chinese medicine and modern-day understandings of the body. This was a research lab for me — part of my mission, and the mission of Apricot Grove California, to bridge these worlds in an ongoing exploration of what the human body truly is, and how healthcare approaches could evolve by merging these understandings.”

~ Rebecca

🌿 Weight Loss: There’s More Than One Way

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are everywhere right now—and for some, they’re a helpful tool. But for others, the side effects, long-term dependency, and root-cause questions leave them looking for a more natural, sustainable path.

That’s where Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture come in.

In TCM, weight gain isn’t just about calories—it’s about balance. We look at things like:

🔹 Spleen Qi deficiency (affects digestion + metabolism)
🔹 Dampness accumulation (think bloating, heaviness, stubborn fat)
🔹 Liver Qi stagnation (stress eating, hormonal imbalances)
🔹 Emotional health (because let’s be real—this matters too)

Acupuncture helps by:
💆‍♀️ Regulating appetite + cravings
🔥 Supporting healthy digestion + metabolism
😌 Reducing stress + emotional eating
💤 Improving sleep + energy so your body can reset

At Golden Point Acupuncture, we work with your body—not against it. It’s not a quick fix. It’s a gradual return to balance, where weight loss becomes a natural byproduct of feeling better overall.

Curious if it’s right for you? Let’s talk. DM us or book a consultation—we’ll meet you where you’re at. 🧡

🌸 Thriving in Menopause: The Chinese Medicine Concept of Second Spring

✨ By Christina Ververka, L.Ac. | Golden Point Acupuncture .lac

There’s a powerful shift happening: more open, honest conversations about every phase of a woman’s life — including perimenopause and menopause. This transformation isn’t just cultural; it’s deeply personal. As a practitioner and woman walking this path alongside so many others, I want to share a timeless perspective from Chinese Medicine that reimagines this transition not as an ending — but a beginning.

In Chinese Medicine, “Second Spring” is the term for what we in the West call perimenopause and menopause. While the “First Spring” (around age 14) begins our reproductive journey, the Second Spring marks a beautiful new phase — when creative energy turns inward, intuition sharpens, and wisdom blossoms.

🔁 The Bao Mai, a vital channel connecting Heart and Uterus, shifts direction — from nurturing others to nurturing self. This inner rebirth is an invitation to live more aligned with our truth, to give from a place of fullness, and to rediscover purpose beyond roles and productivity.

Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, sleep issues, or mood swings can be disruptive — but you don’t have to go it alone. Chinese Medicine has supported women through these transitions for centuries.

💆‍♀️ Acupuncture helps:
✔ Regulate hormones
✔ Reduce hot flashes and night sweats
✔ Improve sleep, mood, and focus
✔ Boost vitality and emotional balance

🔥 Moxibustion (warming mugwort therapy) supports:
✔ Kidney and hormonal strength
✔ Joint pain and cold sensitivity relief
✔ Immunity and digestive health

Together, these gentle therapies offer a deeply individualized, holistic way to feel empowered — not diminished — by this phase of life.

🌿 Ready to thrive in your Second Spring? Book an appointment with one of our incredible Japanese-trained Licensed Acupuncturists at Golden Point Acupuncture. We’re here to walk this path with you — honoring your body, your story, and your innate wisdom.
