Longstone Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been in practice for several thousand years (prior to 2500 BCE) in China, it has evolved and is practiced all over the world...the earliest known written record of Chinese medicine is the Huangdi neijing (The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic) from the 3rd century BCE. That opus provided the theoretical concepts for TCM that remain the basis of its practice today. In essence, traditional Chinese healers seek to restore a dynamic balance between two complementary forces, yin (passive) and yang (active), which pervade the human body as they do the universe as a whole. According to TCM, a person is healthy when harmony exists between these two forces; illness, on the other hand, results from a breakdown in the equilibrium of yin and yang .

Have you tried acupuncture before?

The Early Daoist alchemists and philosophers thought of qi (pronounced as chee) as a vital force within the body that regulates body fluids, energy and the overall flow of the body. They sought out and developed techniques to alter and control the qi movement so that one's flow was in balance.

Moxibustion is derived from the name of the wormwood plant (also known as A Mogusa in Japanese) that is often used in Traditional Chinese Medicinal practices. In more modern forms of moxibustion, the wormwood plant is crushed, placed into a special paper, wrapped and then lit. When lit, it’s then held above the point to be warmed or placed on the skin. Don’t worry! The flame is removed before overheating occurs and does not damage the skin.

The ultimate purpose of tai chi is cultivate the qi or life energy within us to flow smoothly and powerfully throughout the body. Total harmony of the inner and outer self comes from the integration of mind and body, empowered through healthy qi through the practice of tai chi.

One of the benefits of pulse diagnosis is to provide the acupuncturist with the ability to make a differential diagnosis, meaning they can pinpoint which imbalance is causing which symptom. How has acupuncture helped you?

Contrary to Western diets, TCM dietary therapy considers the energetic qualities of the foods and how the food can influence the long term health of the individual. Energy (qi) and the fluid necessary to maintain the body's functions are derived through diet.

Acupuncturists typically use a three step system to help you get the most out of your treatments. These three steps include Relief Care, Corrective Care, and Maintenance Care. Typically with Relief Care, visits are multiple times per week to promote healing and recovery.
With Corrective Care visits are less frequent as you begin to feel better. Finally for Maintenance monthly tune ups are recommended to maintain health.

The act of cupping is when a therapist places special cups on your skin for several minutes with the purpose of creating a suction, these cups can be made out of glass, earthenware, silicone and bamboo. There are different types of cupping (wet and dry) and involve putting a flammable substance such as paper, alcohol or herbs in the cup and setting it on fire. As the fire extinguishers, the therapist places it upside down on your skin and that’s when the suction occurs. People seek treatment through cupping for many reasons including blood flow, relaxation, inflammation and even as a type of deep-tissue massage.

We are not deserving of the situations that we find ourselves in....patterns are how we navigate the very complex and abstract world...patterns in relationships, work or health that do not Serve us anymore are not because we are bad people....or even flawed and definitely not because we deserve them.

It's all we know so we build a world out of what we were shown love to be..... unhealthy bonds...toxic treatment...etc etc....

Because that's what we were shown love to be when we were young....or we are trying to swing the other way and compromise to fill up our cup with what we weren't given.

However it manifests itself in our life it's not because we are deserving.....

What you are deserving of is freedom from those patterns that do not Serve....

Sometimes that takes help....no matter how enlightened you are, or how much work you've done by yourself.... sometimes we need a mirror to show us a different perspective....

To let us see our genuine self and what is capable

We need each other for this ... unfortunately most people are doing the best they can to survive so we are all running around showing each other our traumas hoping someone wont be triggered and run.

I'm finding that when I work with people.... whether in the clinic or one on one.....all a spirit needs is a little encouragement and reminder towards the truth of their being and the trajectory that is possible.

It's amazing what being held in non judgemental love can do for a human heart.

And how liberating that can be.

Whether you work with me directly or just enjoy reading my writings know that I love you....

I see you.....feel your weight....

Understand your yearning for deeper connection with self and another

I've been there ....am there...and you are not alone....

So be gentle with yourself....each day soften to the knowing that you are doing beautiful work.....though it may not seem like it ...you are here ...and that says it all...

Keep going....

And if you need a little help I'm here.

Message me and we can talk....see if working one on one is an option.

Worst case is you discover that you have another friend in life that genuinely cares about you ... because you are part of this world ...part of the solution to the healing and there is no one more important or instrumental to healing your life than you

Love you my friends.

Have a beautiful day...

"ADHD is not a disorder, the study authors argue. Rather it is an evolutionary mismatch to the modern learning environment we have constructed. Edward Hagen, professor of evolutionary anthropology at Washington State University and co-author on the study, pointed out in a press release that “there is little in our evolutionary history that accounts for children sitting at desks quietly while watching a teacher do math equations at a board.”

The damage done to many of us growing up labeled as bad kids etc....

Most people with anxiety depression or PTSD have been labeled as people with a disorder... instead of people adapting to an environment of stress....and unable to shift out of it.... because the stress never stopped.

And life collapses around such stress responses because they are meant to freeze us....so we can survive....

This is why acupuncture is so amazing and beneficial for the types of issues.....it acts as a disruptive signal to the nervous system that we are no longer in the state of distress....

It can be a passive modality.....like resetting the breakers or flipping a switch allowing the body to rest in a state of safety.

The body stores these adversity responses and after days, months years of being triggered the body learns to remain in hyper vigilance to potential threats....real or imagined....so you can trigger the response by just thinking about a situation and the body will shut down.

You can retrain these response mechanisms....it's not something you have to live with forever....it's not something you have to suffer from any longer.

You deserve rest from these burden's.

If you are interested In leaning more about acupuncture and how it can help you reset these signals in your body and gain some freedom from these "disorders"

Message me.

There are also other ways I can help....even if you can't make it in for a treatment in person.

I'd love to chat....sometimes just discovering that you aren't bound to suffer from these triggers is enough to shift you into a new level of empowerment and healing

You deserve to be free of the label of dysfunction and disorder

what is acupuncture?
I could tell you that it is about Qi, the vital life force that flows through us all and energizes and propels all....
I could tell you its about meridians Jing lou, channels through which qi and the other fundamental substances flow. Known by many different names, such as acupuncture meridians, acupoints, and energy vessels. That they function as a network, much like a highway system, that can be mapped out throughout the entire body. That they are similar to the circulatory system in western medicine.
I could tell you that its about the needle that it is
is the practice of penetrating the skin with this hair thin, solid, metallic needles which are then activated through gentle and specific movements of the practitioner's hands through various techniques, angles depths and motions.......
I could tell you its about magic, that though the principles are thousands of years old and have been used the world over there is still no clear understanding of the true method or action.......but yet it works
I could tell you all of this....and though all of these are true in addition to limitless truths about the medicine......
what medicine is ultimately about is you.....
you are the medicine that is transformed from inactive or unbalanced state into the flow of health......you are the healing that happens......
the magic is with you.......
the acupuncturist or herbalist or practitioner is just the reminder....the guide.....
except for herbs we do not add anything to you that is not already there......we just help wake up the sleeping body, the sleeping spirit.....
this may get me in a little bit of trouble for saying......
but also this medicine is about connection, that is why it cannot be packaged and explained in lay terms or why western medicine has had such difficulty containing it within a paradigm.....
this medicine is deeply individualistic and it is a journey that must be taken together.
the healing begins long before the needle is picked up.....it begins at the connection made.
are you ready for a change.....if you approach your healing and transformation from this standpoint it is amazing what can come of this medicine...
the healing is within you......let me help awaken it.

In the search for worth or the running away from it.

Our entire existence is in the search for meaning of this tiny spark of life we are given...

We search for the value of what is held here in our flesh and bones.

We weave such stunning stories and forge such heavy chains as our journey goes....

The search for worth.... Is ultimately a running away from what is inherently there.... In the folds of your hands.... The wrinkles at the edge of your mouth when a laugh escapes them... In the scars you wear ... And the ones you hide

Your life is a beautiful tapestry of worth..... A sacred garment that is wrapped around your soul and your heart.

Wear it with regal pride.... There is nothing like you in the entirety of the cosmos.... This moment now.... Close your eyes.... Feel your breath... Create that warmth inside your chest......

Hi..... There it is.......

My loves.... You've spent your entire journey moving away from the one thing you were born with..... Worth..... You are filled with it.... You just have to drop into the center of all the stories you've been told about value..... And let them be washed away until there's nothing but you....

Stunning..... See.... There you are.

Try this meditation for me.....

Sit.... On the edge of your bed.... Feel the weight on your body on the bed.... Feel your feet on the floor....
Bring your attention to the room.... Whats in it.... No judgement.... Forget the laundry.... Or the family photos.... Bring your attention to this side of all those stories.... Now bring your attention to your hands.... How beautiful and strong and how they've served you.... Now breathe.......
Now close your eyes...... And breathe..... Bring your attention to what that feels like.... No judgement..... Thoughts will come.... Thoughts will go..... This isnt enlightenment.... This is attention.

Breathe into your body..... How full it is of life.

Breathe into your heart..... How beautiful she is.

Breathe into you..... Let that warmth wash over you...

Feel the softness of your being.....

That is all .... Just sit with that for a moment.

Do this every time your story shifts to the scales of worth....

If it takes 10..... Or 1000 times there is no better way to spend your time than in the presence of your genuine being....

One thing I see now more than anything is this absolute surety of intimate interconnection between us all... Not in the stars, not in our birth charts, not in our language, not in our political views but in the very core of what we are.... We are in another as well.... And they in us.... This is like nothing else any of us has experienced or expressed and due to our cultural training weve turned inward to survive through it..... But that is not where the healing is.... We do not have to merely survive anymore... We are on a threshold of massive shifts as a collective entity.... But we need each other. We need the knowing of another heartbeat in sync with ours. This is not romance.... This isnt bo***ge to a partner or lover.... This is something none of us has ever known.... It starts with letting go.... Of all the ideas weve held on what connection is... Letting go of the known suffering for the potential... Letting go is a passive thing... But it will be the hardest thing you can do... This letting go is different though.... Because theres also an active aspect of reaching out.... Not for another hold... Not for another bond but to reach out to another to remind them that their heart beat is not the only one.... Try this with me my friends.... Allow yourself this gift.... You dont have to even believe in it.... Just do it... Its not about faith.... Or intuition at this point... These are things we hold onto.... This is about something deeper. I am here.... If you need reach out to me... But reach out..... Then keep reaching out.... Without expectations and shame.... Remember what you are suffering so are others who may not have received this message.... And may be trying to survive.... But you never know.... Your connection... Your message may be the spark in a dark night that they are able to light there own fire by. It is time my friends.... You have sat alone on your own.... It is time to be warmed by the collective fire of a billion heartbeats. It is time
