Well…some paintings I finish in an hour, and p**f ~ they’re off to a new home shortly thereafter.

Others, like this one…well…one year and nine months later…still working.

Sometimes, I’m so irritated about it that I just want to give up. I guess that’s why I let it sit so long.

But I’m determined to get it to a place that feels complete inside.

Every painting teaches me something meaningful about life, and this one is no different. Just not totally sure what that meaningful part is, yet.

Some of it is that it feels good to not give up on something…and that everything has its own unique timeframe of becoming….including me.

And to not be afraid of moving forward…not being afraid of making another mistake…everything unfolds wonderfully when I relax into my intuition and allow myself to follow it….and that there actually aren’t ever any mistakes…it’s all life unfolding as it’s meant to.

I guess it turns out that I do know what it’s teaching me.

The first photo is the latest version, and the second is a year and nine months ago. Didn’t seem that long, and yet………………..

Wonderful meditation series at our office to help you help your nervous system. Lots of great info about herbs and mushrooms and more. Led by Anne Louise who is amazing and a treasure chest of knowledge. All details and registration below.

✨ Connecting with your Inner Wisdom Meditation Series✨

The body will follow where the mind leads.

Our nervous system has many functions. One of the main functions is to make sure we are safe in our environment. When the nervous system is under stress and overstimulated it tells our muscles to contract to protect the body. In our demanding culture our nervous system can lose
its sense of balance and the ability to return there.

In this six week workshop we will explore the practice of meditation, combined with acupuncture, breath work, energy practices, and the use of herbs and mushrooms to develop an understanding of how our body communicates with us, and to discover tools to soothe and reset our nervous system.

Space is limited to six participants. Participants are required to attend all six sessions. Each session will begin with an energetic cleanse and a soothing tea or decoction. The cost of the workshop is $250 and can be paid for by cash, check, or Venmo. For questions, please email workshop host, Anne Louise, atphoenixhealing@gmail.com.

The last couple weeks in Acupuncture…sharing because this is some of the most magical stuff of this life, and I smile big and go, “WHOAH!” every time:

👑 “Hi Jeanne, wanted to let you know I slept super hard last night! Took me a few seconds to get my bearings this morning. 😂”

👑 “Dude seriously. I have rainbows shooting from my fingertips today.”

👑 Significant reduction and continuing resolution of acute and extreme breast pain and lump.

👑 Easing of anxiety.

👑 Reduction and continuing resolution of back and leg pain and sleep disturbances that have been ongoing for several years.

👑 Reduction of sinus pain and stuffiness.

👑 Resolution of knee pain resulting from dry needling by a chiropractor.

This is through treating the person as a whole. Not spot treating them.

When your whole organism is tended to, you’re on a more fluid, free path of your own inherent nature. 🌸

🌿 You are meant to be happy and free.

👆🏼Read that again. 💕

Acupuncture may or may not be for you, though something is for you that can help your body and mind on all levels in a natural way. A way that supports who you really are and allows you to unfold joyously on your own path. Not someone else’s path. Yours.

Your whole being innately reaches towards healing in every moment.

You can heal from anything. Anything. Anything.

Believe it. 💕

The letter I’ve sent regarding Athletic Trainers asking to be granted ability to “dry needle.”

*********************

I am writing in opposition to HB1016. This is not a form letter. This is a combination of my own experience as a Licensed Acupuncturist for over seven years and as an Acupuncture patient for over twenty years.

Just this past week, I treated a patient who came in because of injuries she received from being dry needled by her Chiropractor.

She had gone to him for an adjustment and had been experiencing tightness in her lateral thighs and hips. He performed dry needling on the right hip and thigh on two separate visits. She then began experiencing knee pain in both knees (even though he did not directly needle the knees) to the point that it became difficult to walk and to go up and down stairs because of the pain. The left knee was swollen, and I documented that with photos. She is an active lady and was unable to exercise or walk far because of it.

I treated her with Acupuncture, and she felt improvement immediately after the treatment. I checked in with her two days after her treatment with me, and she no longer had clicking or pain in the knees when walking and was able to walk long distances. The swelling subsided substantially as well.

This incident really punctuated for me how vital it is for the safety of patients to be needled by those who are trained to do so - Licensed Acupuncturists.

When the body is needled by someone who doesn't understand the correlation of the areas of the body to organ and body systems, to other areas of the body, to emotional aspects of the person, and many other correlations - there is a high likelihood of injuries of this type and more occurring - and they are occurring.

Acupuncture is a complex, dynamic system of healing. A system that understands root causes of pain and how to safely and effectively treat them for each individual patient. It is not the same treatment for everyone.

Acupuncture is not something that can be watered down to just using needles to manipulate muscles and fascia. When this is the only focus and understanding of the person needling, unintentional disharmonies are created in the functioning of body systems and
the emotional health of an individual as well as current and previous conditions being exacerbated. Those who inflict this damage on patients then do not know how to remedy the damage they created.

Patients then wind up either living indefinitely with those injuries or going to a Licensed Acupuncturist or another type of practitioner to seek help for the ignorance and inadequacy of the person who performed the dry needling.

In addition, needling the body in such an aggressive way, aside from being painful and carrying a high risk of injury (especially when performed by those with inferior training), this type of needling can drive pathogens of various types deeper into the body and create much more damage than just superficial pain. These concepts that have been understood from ancient medicine for thousands of years are not understood or respected by those who just want to pick up a needle to manipulate muscles and fascia.

This is a huge public health concern already, and to now ask for yet another group of individuals - Athletic Trainers - who have no proper training in any of the above mentioned matters yet feel justified in taking on an invasive procedure as part of their repertoire - it's extremely irresponsible to their clients and to the public's understanding of Acupuncture as well.

Acupuncture has the ability to heal people in profound ways. To heal people when modern medicine has failed them time and time again. To heal them when they were told there was nothing that could be done for them. To heal them when their medical doctors told them they were fine and didn't listen to them. To heal them when their medical doctors told them they'd be on pharmaceuticals the rest of their lives. This is one of the oldest medicines practiced in the world. True medicine and healing.

I know this personally from the acupuncture treatments I've received for twenty years and now as a Licensed Acupuncturist for over seven years.

To put acupuncture needles into the hands of those who have no comprehension of the effects they are creating for the entirety of the patient is not only an injustice to public health, though equally so to the integrity of an ancient healing modality that Licensed Acupuncturists passionately spend years training for and then the rest of their lives learning about this beautiful medicine that is so deep that one lifetime isn't enough to assimilate it all.

Another concern is the confusion that can occur in patients who receive dry needling and mistakenly believe it's the full scope of what Acupuncture treatment involves and what the experience is like.

Again, dry needling is often extremely painful, and people who believe that is a full picture of what Acupuncture treatment encompasses are being very poorly served. They often are scared away from receiving full care under a Licensed Acupuncturist due to their experience with dry needling performed by those who are not Licensed Acupuncturists and who merely received weekend seminar trainings in dry needling.

Patients then often will not seek out Acupuncture treatment which can serve them with the full extent of their wellness goals.

Asking to be trained in "dry needling" outside the scope of being a Licensed Acupuncturist is an egregious attempt at bypassing proper and critical education and training. Essentially - taking the lazy route.

Those who are asking to do so, should they ever take even a tiny peek into what the world of Acupuncture is actually about - I'm confident that they would never ask to be given a seminar certificate in dry needling.

They would want to be in for the full ride, and they would probably fall in love with treating people in ways through Acupuncture that needn't ever be painful or dangerous and that simultaneously help people heal from many other things they've been carrying with them - often since childhood.

For these reasons, I am opposed to HB1016 and to anyone performing dry needling who is not a Licensed Acupuncturist.

Thank you for your attention in this matter, and I welcome further discussion.

Sincerely,
Jeanne Crane
