Internal Spring Cleaning – Part 3 Meditation

April 20th, 2016 In my last couple of posts, I’ve talked about how great it can be to cleanse the body on a physical level with diet and exercise and how acupuncture serves to cleanse on a mind, body, and spirit level – the ultimate trifecta. In Part 3, I will offer up the importance […]

Internal Spring Cleaning – Part 2 Diet & Exercise

April 5, 2016 “Only do it because you WANT to do it, not because you SHOULD!” As spring continues on, another great way to clean up internally is to pay close attention to the choices we make about what we put into our bodies and how we choose to move our bodies. As far as […]

Internal Spring Cleaning – Part 1 Acupuncture

Happy Spring! Once we get that first day of warmer weather, it’s like something inside of us is called to “clean up.”  You are hanging out outside and start thinking about cleaning up the yard, and then next thing you know you’re in the garage and cleaning that junk up too!  You start thinking about […]

Monthly Mantra

Feeling February

February 2, 2016     A couple of weeks ago I wrote about using food and alcohol as numbing agents to our feelings.  Although they get the most attention, it’s not just food and alcohol, it might be television or being really really busy that can play into numbing our emotions.  And I’ve done all […]

Winter Blues? Happiness Helpers to the rescue!

January 26, 2016 The true place of happiness resides inside of us.  It is a choice we make each and every moment of each and every day.  When it’s cold, dark, cloudy, and miserable outside, there is a place inside of you that is warm, light, and enjoyable.  Sometimes we forget that.  So, I thought […]
