THE STONECUTTER

If you’ve ever seen an old­time stonecutter at work, you know that persistence pays off.

Equipped only with a sledgehammer, chisel, and determination, they rain blow after blow

down upon the rock, confident that their work will produce the desired result. Although

the stone shows no outward signs of wear and tear, the stone cutter continues on,

knowing that each swing of the hammer will weaken the stone a little more until it finally

splits in half.… Read the rest

Fit versus Healthy

There is a difference between being in top physical shape and holistically healthy. Some people may be in great athletic shape, but actually neglecting their body’s other internal health needs.

TIME (AND ACUPUNCTURE) HEALS ALL WOUNDS

The strongest of all warriors are these two – time and patience. ~ Leo Tolstoy

Remember the last time you stubbed your toe or bumped your head? The damage

occurred first, and then you felt the pain, right? It doesn’t happen the other way around.

In these simple examples the reaction is almost instantaneous, and in most cases the

recovery is short­lived as well.… Read the rest

ACUPUNCTURE THRILL RIDE!

Did you ever notice that the biggest hill of a rollercoaster is always somewhere in the

beginning of the ride? This is so that the cars can develop enough momentum from the

first hill to propel them through the rest of the course. Getting to the top of that first hill,

however, takes some work. The full weight of the cars must be towed up the hill from a

standing start before they can be released at the top.… Read the rest

HEALTH INSURANCE OR SICK INSURANCE?

OK, so you have health insurance. But what are you really insured against? Have you

ever considered that in actuality health insurance has very little to do with health and

wellness.

Most insurance plans are structured so that benefits are available to you when you get

sick or develop disease. Display symptoms, and your insurance will help you counteract

them.… Read the rest

YOU CAN’T CLIMB A SMOOTH MOUNTAIN

It’s been said that you can’t climb a smooth mountain. In other words, if a rock mountain

is completely smooth and shiny, there are no handholds or footholds for you to grab and

make upward progress.

This is a great metaphor for life. You see, all those rough spots in your life and the craggy

times that you had to work through were actually opportunities for growth and upward

advancement.… Read the rest

Spring Health Tips

Spring is a happy time. Bunnies hop about. Flowers emerge in long forgotten corners of your garden. The birds return and sing so loudly they wake you in the morning. This is not a time to be angry.

But according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, being angry is exactly what you can expect if you don’t balance your wood element.… Read the rest

ACUPUNCTURE…ALTERNATIVE WHAT?

You have probably heard acupuncture referred to at some point as “alternative medicine.”

The term itself consists of two very off­base implications.

First, it implies that acupuncture is a runner­up or a contingency plan to turn to when

medicine inevitably falls short, or should one choose not to utilize medicine in the first

place.

Second, it implies that acupuncture is a type of medicine, albeit an alternative type.… Read the rest
