Transpersonal Acupuncture

I have been working with Jipala for 18 years now, and she has been instrumental in both my personal growth and my mental and physical health in ways I did not expect nor imagine when I first sought treatment for some hormonal fluctuations so long ago.  Jipala has the ability to crystalize and identify obstacles to healing and then use acupuncture points to manifest health in the body and mind.  Most importantly she has exposed me to new ways of thinking and responding to my environment and how to dig deep to understand and embrace my specific life’s work in this body on this planet.  She has healed everything from sports injuries and surgery recoveries to working with me through menopause and the various physical and spiritual changes that come along with an aging body.   It is so rare these days to find a gifted practitioner who takes so much time to understand you and then gives so much of herself to help you. I am really grateful for the benefit of her wisdom and energy.

WOOD TIME ON THE HORIZON 🌱It is the mixed upside down season of March. It is snowing nope it is nice and sunny and warm, it is windy. Ha ha it is muddy and brown out. Welcome to March madness. The stirrings of seedlings, as the breathe life and rustle hope on the horizon y’all. Are you a wood type? Do you feel hopeful beginnings? Ready to deep clean the house and start some projects OR are you the hibernating wood type and feel reluctant to leave your cozy cave of security? Spring movement might not feel so welcome. Either way great time to get a treatment.

Mangrove forest. A collective hive, a matrix of cooperative transport, a neural network of communication. It functions like one big living creature not unlike fungi under the earth’s surface. Did you know a mangrove forest will move in a storm and it protects the coastline. A natural habitat for tons of creatures.
And we wonder how acupuncture works? Same way People . Same Same. Nature likes it’s cycles and replicates it’s successful engineering projects. Microcosm and Macrocosm. As above, so below.

I was interviewed by the one and only Shawn Harrison on O+ Radio Hour. July 7, 2021. Radio Kingston.
A lively, informal chat about the elements with special focus on FIRE time. Tune into the archives and give it a listen.

Crash right into the zenith of the year. It is a hot and fiery season. The height of Yang, bees buzzing 🐝multitudes of insects moving,🕷🦟🐜birds singing🦉🦅🕊flowers expanding in bright blossoms of color and scent🌺🌸🌼🌻🌹🌷Let’s romance the f**k out of ourselves, open up the throat chakra and let out a blood curdling howl.🐺

It is Fire time, Fire time, Fire time, 🔥a mantra of devotion. It is an o**y of experience, a fest of light, an expression of Love. The healing of hearts happens now. We can harness the fire energy and open ourselves up to new experiences, let our inner truths fly. Express our desires and practice communication. Sing, laugh, chant, yell, dance and cry, it is a time of union. Make love to yourself, by feeding yourself nourishing delectable foods, go skinny dipping under the full moon, build a fire, make ritual, have enriching conversation with your love. Hug your family and smile with your friends, have or****ic love with your sweetie. Fire is a short season around the ☀️Northeast. Let the fire burn for a few weeks, let it repair and sustain you.

To all my loves, have gratitude, there is indelible fortitude in the human spirit and in the most incredible capacity that we have to love in the darkest of moments. It is this love that will heal us all. ❤️🧡💛💛💚💙💜🤍🤎

WOOD SEASON 🌳🌱A TIME OF ACTIVISM 🐲🐉. According to Ibram X. Kendi, you are not officially an activist unless you were responsible for changing or creating new policies. As far as I know, I have not been a catalyst for any policy shifts. But I would call myself a pedestrian activist, I have been instrumental in shifting many a mindset and overall acceptance of the rainbow 🌈 of expressions of the human form, including the myriad of ways in which we love each other. ❤️💚

The Wood months, a season of renewal and growth. Time to do that "Spring cleaning", this is not limited to a physical act, it is more akin to a mental and/or emotional experience. The root of illness is found in an imbalance within, a resistance to transmute or to simply allow change. What are the blocks stopping us from morphing with the trend of our lives?

This is the essence of Wood season. The point Ben Shen, translated to mean root of the spirit. An acu-point on the head that supports us in seeing the path ahead of us clearly, giving us the courage to move forward and the flexibility to deal with the impasses that will inevitably get in our way.

As Jeff Bezos says you can only succeed if you “create more than you consume”.
Wood season, the time to create and to make change happen. Harness the energy of the season as everything around us grows, we move from stasis to a state of expression and internal activism.

Getting close to finishing up my Pediatric mentorship 2020-2021.
Treating infants-teenagers. See my awesome patient in this photo, working on an arm post break. Thank you Dr. Stephen Cowan and Moshe Heller, what a great class even with COVID.

A year into the acknowledged COVID pandemic in the USA.

And I am going batty… It not even all of the bigger in your face things, like the five times we have had to quarantine in a year but all of the small things. I haven’t been able to relax at a friend’s kitchen table with a cup of tea in soooo long. Sleepovers are a thing of the past. I miss letting down with a friend or heck friends (plural), just being allowed to have some fun. In the last twelve months, there was always a monster lurking over head and in the corners. I am constantly thinking through every decision, “is it safe?”, “am I being responsible?” I am throughly exhausted and simultaneously over stimulated.

There are plenty of silver linings. The pace has been slowed down, I do not have to drive my kids around as much, because many of their appointments are now on zoom (and it will stay that way). I have been able to participate in meetings that I would never have been able to travel weekly to and fro.

I have cracked the code to food storage and management in the house and unearthed my love for cooking that had been dormant for years. My kids are even more involved in the food preparation.

The siblings are actually getting along slightly better. There is more appreciation for school, more gratitude and I have seen myself and my children become more resilient. Family is a really a valued treasure.

I have been forced to move my business in directions that promote growth online. The pandemic encouraged me to put myself out into the greater world with more gusto and presence. I practice better boundaries at work, because I do not have the same resources available for consumption.

There is a flux of change and growth, which is a good, it is also scary and feels really bad. I am reflecting on the year that just passed as we move from Winter into Spring. A natural time that we push forward into to projects, cleaning and getting things done. I am feeling like chilling and not being overly ambitious.

I would rather go hang out by the water or bath in a forest. I would like to feel the mixed up combo of anger, confusion and hope that I am experiencing and say to myself, “cool, you made it through the bulk of a pandemic and you are taking one step at a time, still here, hey.”
