Happy solstice! In the Northern Hemisphere, the solstice is the darkest day of the year and is also such a powerful day to be clearing away old patterns that will enable you to bring all your energy into current time to create the future. It’s also the day of the rare Christmas Star or Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn -- a super rare and meaningful occurrence! To support your release and expansion during this time, we encourage you to create a sacred space (jazz it u...p with an altar and candle if you'd like) and journal on the following: Where in your life have you most felt like yourself this past year? What have been the greatest challenges you’ve overcome? What can you acknowledge about yourself and your strengths? What is it time to let go of in your life? What is it time to forgive yourself for? What is it time to forgive others for? What are the old patterns that it’s time to release? This is our 10 cents: You’re stronger and more powerful than you know. In fact, we're sure that you’ve overcome some extraordinary things already in your life, and expanded in the process. You can turn any setbacks, mistakes or failures you’ve experienced this year into the lessons and fuel to propel you forward. Your best years are ahead of you, not behind you. We are excited to witness and support you in health in who you’re becoming in 2021 and beyond. As a reminder, we'll be closed for the merriment from Dec. 24 to Jan. 1. See you in the new year!

Calling all new clients -- enjoy our healing lounge for just $37 and our private room for $59. Opportunities are limited, so book while they last!

Are you tired of taking pharmaceutical pills with side effects for your gut disharmony? Dr. Simone was too - which is how she got into acupuncture over ten years ago! It all started after a trip to India and being married to her toilet for two months when she got back. Many tests and lots of antibiotics later, Conventional Medicine still said nothing was apparently wrong. A friend suggested trying acupuncture - she'd never heard of it before. However, one acupuncture session later, and she was feeling almost 90% better! Nutritional supplements started healing her leaky gut and now she is beyond grateful for the journey it took to get her to share this medicine with the community.

The Individualized Microcurrent Frequency (IMF) Healy is a wearable class II medical device that contains programs with resonant frequencies for frequencies your body needs in order to harmonize your Bioenergetic Field. When it scans your body's field, it can then give frequencies that serve your specific needs in the realm of addressing the health of the nervous system, immune system, chakras, organs, your mental and emotional state and more! This device works in almost mir...aculous ways using the body's ability to transport matter into and out of the cell by a kind of magnetically-controlled valve mechanism. The voltage potential, i.e., the difference between the voltage inside the cell and the voltage between the cells, is responsible for healthy (physiological) cell metabolism. This voltaic regulation can be changed by applying different frequencies to it to reportedly effectuate many different purposes and imbalances. The Healy has been around in Germany for many years and just came to the states. We are excited to be one of the first in the states to offer sessions! Results of the international Healy user survey are in (well over 1,000 people responded to the survey): - More than half of the participants (50.71 %) were between 45 and 59 years old - 17.69% of the participants were health professionals, the other 82.31% were individual users - 70.12% are using their Healy several times a day - 82.94% were generally satisfied to very satisfied with Healy (4 to 6 on a scale of 1 to 6) - 87.76% were satisfied with the Healy App programs - 89.32% would recommend Healy to others, 70% like to talk to others about Healy - 77% found Healy easy to use - Mental energy and concentration, as well as regeneration and stress reduction, were given as the most common reasons for using the Healy App - 92% indicated positive effects on their - 90% felt improvement (slightly improved, improved or strongly improved) in their energetic state - 64% experienced an improvement in their energetic state after one to five applications and 21.9% after three applications Call us at (619) 761-9544 to book a session.

Any of these spots feel familiar due to pain? Sometimes, the location of the pain is the site of referred pain from a different part of the body. Soft tissue therapy and acupuncture can make a big difference to restore movement and help relieve chronic pain. Surprising fact: shoulder pain can be caused by imbalances in the neck muscles, chest muscles, back muscles and even the glutes and hamstrings! Everything is connected. *... * * * * #pacificbeach #acupuncturecanhelp #SEW #paintherapy #softtissuemassage #shoulderpain #neckpain #painrelief #naturalliving #lowerinflammation See more

No matter how you're celebrating this year, there's sure to be delicious food on your table! And unfortunately, that extra deliciousness can cause annoying and painful bloating. Did you know that if you have Type A blood or are over 35, your levels of stomach acid may start to decline? Once we have low HCL and pepsin levels, we are predisposed to other gastrointestinal issues and possibly infections that cause bloating and other GI issues. If you're looking to avoid the po...st-feast bloat, taking Zypan before your meal may aid in digestion. This is a whole food product that supports gastric pH. Zypan helps break down food and kills harmful bacteria to provide further support in protein digestion. Before taking any supplement, consult a health professional trained in nutrition and diet to make sure it's right for you. Come into Source Empowered Wellness and ask if this is right for you. #optimaldigestion #holidayhacks #naturalliving #healthygut

Acupuncture helps insomnia by: - Increasing melatonin at night - Regulating levels of neurotransmitters to promote relaxation - Promoting normal function of brain tissues increasing blood flow to the brain... - Calming the nervous system and stimulating opioid production and receptor activity Acupuncture is significantly more effective than hypnotic drugs, no treatment, or sham acupuncture, according to four recent studies. The University of Maryland reports that certain acupuncture procedures have a nearly 90% success rate for the treatment of insomnia through a complex series of signals to the brain, acupuncture increases the amount of certain substances in the brain, such as serotonin, which promote relaxation and sleep. This is something we work on a lot at Source and with good success. Often, people report better sleep after acupuncture even when it’s not the reason they are coming. How many treatments we recommend depends on how severe the problem and how long it’s been going on. With very severe insomnia that impedes daily living, we often advise people to come daily for at least 3-5 days to start, then we can space the treatments out a bit. For moderate, long-term conditions, we often see people twice a week for a few months. #communityacupuncture #SEW #acupunctureworks #health #wellness #insomnia #sandiegoacupuncture #pacificbeach #pointloma #acupuncturesandiego #holistichealth #holistichealing #acupuncture #traditionalchinesemedicine #herbalmedicine #acupuncturist #naturalmedicine #selfcare #anxiety #stressrelief #sandiego #addiction

Next time you come in, your acupuncturist may use the Buddha's triangle on you. These acupuncture points on the wrist are nicknamed "Buddha's triangle" because when you use them together, they are so calming that you feel zen and enlightened -- just like the Buddha himself! Individually they are points Lu-9, Ht-7, and Pc-6 and are used for things like relaxed breathing, slow and steady heartbeat, opening the chest and heart, calming the mind, and promoting deeper sleep. Press... these points for some calming #acupressure, or wear a string of mala beads wrapped around your wrist -- beads made of amethyst, hematite, or jade are calming -- to provide gentle pressure on these points. Who couldn't use a little extra enlightenment? #acupuncture #acupressure #anxietyrelief #stressrelief #mindbodymedicine #healingstones #healingcrystals #selfcare #buddha #enlightenment #meditation

Ok, you got the sniffles, sore throat and fatigue and maybe starting to feel the ucky ache in your body So you reach for the colloidal silver, the vitamin C, the homeopathic over-the-counter-stuff and just for good measure, you pop a few things that someone gave you like yin qaio san or some elderberry just in case! And for extra good measure, you also drink that raw immune-booster juice they make at Whole Foods. And you do all this all at once because you CANNOT get sick- S...ound familiar? I am here to tell you DON’T DO THAT! Sometimes this kitchen sink strategy can work for the VERY beginning of a cold but honestly, throwing the kitchen sink at your cold or flu is like using a shot gun to kill a fly. Not only can it do more harm to your energy and be extremely confusing for your body to know what to do with everything you just put in it, but it could make your cold or virus worse by pushing it further deeper into the body. Think of a cold or virus being like enemies in a battle at your castle. The castle wall is your immune system. Keep in mind that if you have symptoms of mild sore throat and sniffles, this may not even be a cold; your acupuncturist can feel your pulse and tell the difference between a cold and allergies. But if you have an inkling that you’re catching a cold/ flu, then these symptoms are telling you that the enemy is just at the castle wall. This is an easier fight because you have the advantage and can easily shoo the enemy away. Click to read more below :)
