Welcome |
At last! It's
warm! Well, at least warmish. And everyone has
come out of their cocoons of winter coats and boot
wrappings to soak up the warmth and sunshine. I believe
one of the reasons we all respond so well to Spring,
apart from the feeling of new beginnings and warm sun on
the skin, is that something we expect to happen actually
happens. And it's a good thing.
|
 | We have all found through
personal experience and world trauma that we can never,
absolutely for sure, know what is going to happen. So when we
find something reliable, like Spring, or the assurance that
the sun will come up tomorrow (maybe behind clouds, but
it is there!), we instinctively celebrate it. We celebrate our
certainties. The trees that have lain seemingly dormant for
many months will bud, grow leaves, and flourish throughout the
Summer and Fall. The bulbs planted last Fall will find their
way up through the earth to honour Spring.
And road construction will start! We know that's a
certainty with warm weather.
The only other certainty we have is now. Right now. At this
time of starting over in the Spring, I'm going to promise
myself to celebrate now much more. To be here in the
now, to feel it, acknowledge it, and celebrate those
who share it with me. Will you join me, this Spring, in the
now? Namaste,
Georgina

| Acupuncture and the Power of the
Mind |
| by Ronny Breuer
| |
|
|
 |
One of the most fascinating
and useful ideas that 5,000 years of Chinese medicine
can offer us is its holistic medical view of the human
body, namely that our physical and emotional health are
inseparable.
| |
| Moreover, our emotional (or mental) state
is considered one of the most important factors
affecting our physical health, for better or for worse.
Since our emotions are simply a physiological reaction
to the way we perceive events in our environment, it is
in our hands to make a positive change to our mindset
and perception of reality and, as a result, to improve
our physical health. This is a simple concept yet a
powerful one.
In my practice of Chinese acupuncture, I constantly
come across clients who are having health problems
caused directly by emotional stressors, such as anger,
frustration, anxiety, worry, over-thinking, and more. A
wonderful healing method of restoring physical health,
Chinese acupuncture shifts and balances energy, changing
profoundly the way my clients feel emotionally and
physically.
Visualization and hypnosis techniques
further enhance this healing process.
Acupuncture
needles work directly on the body's energy ("Chi") by
opening and moving blocked energy in the channels. Once
a client understands this and can relax, I encourage him
or her to visualize the flow of energy. This
self-hypnosis process is instantly heightened by the
physical needling sensations sometimes described as "a
stream of energy flowing in the body."
Over
several sessions, by feeling as well as visualizing the
energetic sensations of the needles, and by applying
specific breathing and visualization techniques at home,
my clients begin feeling reenergized, relaxed, and much
more in balance.
Acupuncture, combined with the
power of hypnosis techniques, is empowering my clients,
allowing them to feel good, confident, and in control of
their lives again. Their mindsets change, and their
bodies follow suit, ultimately healing
themselves.
Ronny Breuer, B.A., M.Sc., Lic.
Acu., CH, is a graduate of the Ontario Hypnosis Centre
School, a senior Chinese medicine therapist, and an
instructor in both the shiatsu and acupuncture programs
at the Shiatsu School of Canada Inc. and SSC Acupuncture
Institute. He can be reached at admin@shiatsucanada.com

We all start out knowing
magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires,
and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to
birds and read the clouds and seek out destiny in
grains of sand.
|
But
then we get the magic educated right out of our souls.
We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and
combed out. We get put in the straight-and-narrow and
told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to
grow up, for God's sake. And you know why we're told
that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid
of our wildness and youth, and because the magic we knew
made them ashamed and sad at what they allowed to wither
in themselves.
After you get so far away from
it, though, you can't really get it back. You can have
seconds of it. Just seconds of knowing and remembering.
When people get all weepy at movies, it's because in
that dark theatre, the golden pool of magic is touched,
just briefly. Then they come out into the hard sun of
logic and reason again, and it dries up, and they're
left feeling a little heart-sad and not knowing why. For
the briefest of instants, you have stepped into the
magic realm.
The truth of life is that every
year, we get farther away from the essence that is born
within us. We get shouldered with burdens, some of them
good, some of them not so good. Things happen to us.
Loved ones die. People get in wrecks and are crippled.
It's not hard to do, in this world of crazy mazes. Life
itself does its best to take that memory of magic away
from us. You don't know it's happening until one day you
feel like you've lost something, but you're not sure
what it is.

McCammon was discovered on Quoteland.com.
