I've noticed an uptick in patients NEEDING to have their phone with them while receiving treatment. I sent the following out with my email to this week's patients.
📱Let's talk about cell phones while receiving treatment. I know it's a touchy subject. Here's the bottom line. When the body shifts into parasympathetic mode there is relaxation, sometimes a nap, sometimes there are even stomach noises (organ music!). Parasympathetic is where the body can self regulate and heal. You will have a better chance of shifting if your attention is NOT on your phone or potentially on the phone. That said, it's your choice. I understand that it is hard to break the phone habit. If you would like assistance let's work something out.

🪷 You've probably gotten a recommendation to reset your nervous system with the physiological sigh. This is also a way to find the parasympathetic. Here is another technique that incorporates the PhysSigh and it only takes a minute. Check it out!

Sometimes it's the little things like folding the toilet paper end in a triangle. Sometimes it's bigger like showing a patient how she can cup her own shoulders at home. Sometimes it's all about needles and sometimes it's offering the right patient the whale soundtrack for their treatment enhancement. But it's always about the energy.

3 days into 9 day Neoclassical Acupuncture with Dr. Slate Burris. Relearning some basics with a twist that cracks the code. The goal; one needle treatment. Of course being in school requires colorful note taking!

Curious about Novovax here's some info.

“COVID-19: How good is a Novavax booster and with previous mRNA doses? This long thread explores what kind of immune response a Novavax booster is giving people as a primary series and after 2 or 3 mRNA doses in recent studies, and what some of the benefits seem to be. 🧵1/”
