I post this as a fellow traveler, not someone who has mastered this moment. It is and is going to be a stressful time. "In case of emergency, break glass." Behind that glass is your breath. #anxietytreatment #anxietytherapy #anxietyhealing #anxietyreducer #anxietyacupressure #anxietywarriors #anxietyhelper #anxietystruggles #stressreducer #calmingdown #meditatedontmedicate #breathingspace #bethechange #nonaggression #compassion #humanity #qigonghealing #savedemocracy #keepbreathing #breathedeeper #anotherbreath #election2020 #rememberwhoyouare

So, in less than a week we will see preliminary results of this election. This is a very stressful time, and I’m wondering: what you have planned to take care of yourself on the night of and the days after? #selfcare #breathe #elections2020 #anxietyhealing

I've been helping people with their health for about 20 years, and I've noticed something fairly common. People often judge their bodies as having failed when they get sick, experience pain, or even age. Our society is increasingly putting a morality value on wellness, as if illness is a sort of moral failure. You got sick? You must have done something wrong. You must not have meditated enough or juiced enough or avoided gluten or done enough yoga/cardio/pilates/bootcamp/cros...sfit, etc. Maybe you thought negative thoughts! Look, all bodies need support from time to time. Getting sick and experiencing pain (and getting older) are all inevitable parts of the human experience. Full stop. You can argue with this reality and suffer a lot. Or, you can practice acceptance that this sometimes happens and your body hasn’t failed or betrayed you. So, if you refrain from judging yourself or your body for needing support, you've eliminated a good deal of your suffering right there. You can just get on with reaching out for the support you need. If you need health or wellness support right now, please click the link in the bio and contact me. I'd love to help. #herbalmedicines #chinesemedicineworks #chineseherbalmedicine #ancientmedicine #acupuncturerocks #acupuncturepoints #acupuncturelife #acupunctureheals #acupuncturetherapy #acupressurepoints #acupressuretherapy #acupressuretreatment #earseeds #taichiquan #taichiclass #taichiforhealth #taiqi #qigongpractice #qigonghealing #qigongeveryday #qigongforhealth #qigongtherapy #healingqigong #postureexercise #postureexercises #posturematters #posturesupport #posturealignment #functionalposture

Chinese medicine is root cause medicine. We want to know why something has happened. If you become ill or unwell, we ask, "What imbalance allowed this condition to arise?" And then we ask, "How can we resolve this imbalance so that health is restored?" We treat individuals and their health patterns rather than treating the symptoms alone. When the body and mind/heart are balanced, there is health and vitality. #herbalmedicines #chinesemedicineworks #chineseherbalmedicine #ancientmedicine #acupuncturerocks #acupuncturepoints #acupuncturelife #acupunctureheals #acupuncturetherapy #acupressurepoints #acupressuretherapy #acupressuretreatment #earseeds #taichiquan #taichiclass #taichiforhealth #taiqi #qigongpractice #qigonghealing #qigongeveryday #qigongforhealth #qigongtherapy #healingqigong

Did you know acupuncturists in California are trained in much more than just acupuncture? In my practice I provide herbal medicine, Eastern nutritional consultation, posture therapy, qi gong/tai chi instruction, and lifestyle recommendations. And all of these can be offered through online sessions. So, if you want to skip the traffic and access the wisdom of Chinese medicine safely and conveniently, make an appointment for a consultation. Click the link in the bio and contact... me to make an appointment. #herbalmedicines #chinesemedicineworks #chineseherbalmedicine #ancientmedicine #acuadvantage #acupunctureadvantage #acupressurepoints #acupressuretherapy #acupressuretreatment #earseeds #taichiquan #taichiclass #taichiforhealth #taiqi #qigongpractice #qigonghealing #qigongeveryday #qigongforhealth #qigongtherapy #healingqigong #postureexercise #postureexercises #posturematters #posturesupport #posturealignment #functionalposture

Sometimes the best medicine is a dose of the natural world. Fresh air and sunshine can help our bodies maintain their regular innate rhythms such as sleep cycles. Research also suggests that spending time in nature can help relieve depression, anxiety and can also benefit memory. Do you have a favorite place to enjoy nature? #anxietytreatment #anxietytherapy #anxietyhealing #anxietyreducer #anxietyacupressure #anxietywarriors #anxietyhelper #anxietystruggles #stressreducer #calmingdown #chinesemedicineworks #chineseherbalmedicine #ancientmedicine #lungsupport #lunghealth #respiratoryhealth #respiratorycare #respiratorysupport #respiratoryprotection #stronglungs #breathedeeper
