Hi guys! I've created a page to spread love and soup to as many people as possible!! Let's support one another to stay healthy in these crazy times. Please feel free to share recipes, collaborate on how to help feed our friends and family through the financial and health hardships of the next few weeks/months.
Soup is powerful medicine. Not only do you get the amazing nutrients and healing properties of the ingredients but the very act of making soup is healing. Soup fills a home with fragrant herbs and yummy smells! It also humidifies your air. The preparation is meditative and connects us to Earth's medicine.
Share the love and the soup!!

Lynn Jensen is teaching her yoga for fertility all online. Now you can take the class from anywhere!
We are in the metal season of fall. The metal element is about the emotion of grief. The lungs are the organ associated with metal. Honoring lungs and grief seems more important now than in normal years. Breathe in and let go. I love this sentiment. ❤️ Grief and gratitude!

Discussion about decreasing air pollution toxins.
When things get super chaotic, I find peace in the wisdom of the Chakras. If you want to try a lovely meditation, practice breathing into each area while focusing on these statements. ❤️

Tapping - Fear and the Unknown
What is EFT Tapping? How does it work? Why would I do it?
Tapping is a system of self-care where you tap on certain acupuncture points in a repeated pattern. By doing this, you open up the acupuncture channels, which deeply connects your physical body, emotions, and calms your nervous system.
The process helps you access your subconscious mind in a kind of meditative state. When you verbally express your thoughts, fears, worries, stresses, etc. while tapping on these acupuncture points, you shift things inside you. It helps you relax, discharge excessive emotion, and even clear limiting beliefs. Afterward, you may feel more clarity in your thinking or just more relaxed. It's cool!
Like I said before, you deserve to give your nervous system a break. This system is quick and simple. In 5 minutes, you may feel lighter and more relaxed. It's nice to have access to tools like this. The body is truly amazing with all this wisdom. Thank you to Chinese medicine for allowing us to "tap" into it!

Tapping Points Explained
Feeling overwhelmed? This is the most common thing I'm hearing from patients, friends, and family right now. Sometimes we need to give our nervous systems a break!
Of course, acupuncture can be a powerful support for this. Recently, I learned how effective EFT Tapping can be! EFT, (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping system, which uses the acupuncture channels, can quickly help you to discharge excessive emotions, calm your nervous system, and even help clear limiting beliefs. You can feel a difference after 5 minutes of tapping.
I created some videos to share this powerful tool for you to use at home. There are a few videos on my YouTube Channel I'd love to offer you!

It's validating and can very quickly shift things you've been feeling stuck on, or feeling too overwhelmed by. Enjoy some support.

Happy Holidays!
Happy Winter Solstice! ✨
It's the perfect time to reflect on your life and set clear intentions for who you want to be and how you want to live.
The insight I had this morning during my meditation is that it is time for me to connect all wisdom and knowledge through my heart and work/move/life more deeply from that heart space. ❤️
I'm so excited to collaborate with Amy Fisher for this online intention setting event! I'd love to invite you all to join us for 2 hours as we discuss how to live in the flow of the elements and your heart.
Daily rituals and intentions can bring ease and focus to your productivity flow and creations.
Also, if you can see the sky tonight, look up!! Jupiter and Saturn are lining up and will look super bright!! It's a rare astronomical event and worth checking out. ✨❤️

For all the fertility patients out there, here’s the public health guidelines for the vaccine!

January 4 at 1:49 PM ·
Getting Covid-19 during pregnancy is being deemed worse than getting the vaccine during pregnancy by our trained healthcare professionals.
If you are looking for a new approach to productivity and flow in your week, here’s a template of how to use the 5 Elements of Traditional Chinese medicine as a guide. Each element has a few themes. Tuning into different elements each day allows you to honor all the different parts of you and your life so that nothing is rushed, but everything gets done. These elements can be played with in many ways! Perhaps you want to have 2 hours of fire energy everyday! Or you are tuning into your creative wood all the time and need to carve out special time to take care of other life/business tasks. It’s a fun thing to play with. Intentionally using your time can be a powerful tool to supporting your mental and emotional health. ❤️ #selfcare #mentalhealth #5elements #tcm #chinesemedicine #seattleacupuncture #intentionalliving
Heart breath: Bring your awareness to your heart. Visualize your heart organ. Feel your chest raise and lower with each breath. With your inhale, draw (yin) energy from the Earth up to your heart while bringing (yang) energy down from the Universal field of Qi or prana, to your heart. Imagine how effortlessly you could call this energy in with a magnet at the center of your heart. Breathe in energy and fill up your heart space. Tune into your heart. What do you feel? Are you ok today? Who do you love? What needs to heal in you? Can you feel love and gratitude in your heart? What does your heart feel like? As you exhale, allow that energy to permeate out around you. This practice can be very relaxing, centering and can enhance your connection to your intuition. Listening to your heart is a powerful practice. ❤️ #meditation #seattleacupuncture #selflove #selfcare #innerwork #accountability
Traditional Chinese medicine honors the elements of nature. Each element is related to cycles of nature, organ systems in the body, and emotions. Diving into the power of this wisdom can help you see aspects of your life through a new lens. We all have all 5 elements within us. We all have our personal blend of strengths and weaknesses as well. Thinking about the holistic picture of your life, how do you relate to these themes or topics? Is there an area you want to strengthen or spend time contemplating? Do you feel shifts in yourself and your thoughts as the seasons shift? Do you see the cycle of life and death in your goals and dreams? What feels important to cultivate today? How can you play with these elements in your life?
Here is another visual interpretation of a heart breath. If you’re feeling extra expansive one day, you can practice bringing your awareness to your heart, fill it up with Qi and love, then extend your awareness really wide! With your eyes closed, zoom out. Sense the space around your body, then zoom out more. Sense the space in the room you’re in. Zoom out to your city, continent, the Earth, then play around in space. How far out can your awareness go? Can you keep coming back to your heart? Can you feel the stability of being grounded in our beautiful Earth while you extend up and out? I like to start in the heart and expand out from there. Ground down connecting deep within the Earth. Then like an expansive tree, I allow my awareness to explore the depths of space. Connected and floating is how this feels to me. The intuitive information that flows is beautiful and healing. Everything is connected. Breath and awareness are excellent teachers. #meditation #selfawareness #breathe #awareness #selfhealing #expandingconsciousness
Here are a few example check-in questions you can ask of yourself daily to see how you’re doing. The 5 Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine offer a lovely lens with which you can see different parts of you and your life. #selfhealing #intentionalliving #tcm #chinesemedicine #meditation #seattleacupuncture
Since ovulation may vary depending on your cycle regularity, it’s important to have sperm present every other day through the ovulation window. Sperm can live 24-48 hours. The egg will live close to 12 hours after ovulation if not fertilized. Some women feel ovulation as a dull ache in their lower abdomen. The cervical fluid changes during this time of month to an egg white consistency. This helps the fluid grab the sperm to get to the follicle. Tuning into the rhythms of your body can be very empowering and supportive to the pregnancy process. #tcmfertility #chinesemedicineworks #fertilitysupport #hormones #mooncycles
If you’re working with your moon cycle hoping to create a healthy baby, here’s some supportive information. For the first half of the cycle, consider eating lots of colorful fruits and vegetables. The darker the color, the more blood building. Vegetables like beets, kale, spinach, carrots, and others will support the conditions of your “seed palace” or zi gong, meaning uterus. Fruits and berries will also support your yin and blood. Animal proteins will nourish your Qi and blood strongly. Body movement with elevated heart rates and twists, can be useful during this first half of your cycle. Cut out alcohol and smoking. Reduce and limit caffeine, sugar, and processed foods. These things will add excess heat into your system which can disrupt the conditions of your seed palace. #tcmfertility #seattleacupuncture #naturalhealth #foodasmedicine #fertilitysupport
