Taken this morning before patients arrived at the Victoria Native Friendship Center. It feels good to be back in the community acupuncture saddle. It was a busy day but there was a nice flow. I have ten minutes for my intake and needling, which feels just right. Then folks can snooze for up to an hour.

I had forgotten how peaceful and safe it feels when a group of people are all in a circle napping together. It's very soothing for the nervous system--theirs and mine!

I will share some more pics as we go along.

transitions... oof!

8 more days of mercury retrograde...and whether you take your cues from the skies or not, these last few weeks have been challenging for many.

relationships ending, getting a new diagnosis of some sort (and processing the fear), concern about vaccinating or not vaccinating, shifts in family 
systems, a new ache or pain where there wasn't one before...

these are a few of the issues bubbling to the surface lately that i've experienced myself or held space for in clinic.

but there have been moments of clarity and hope as well!  tiny victories deserve 
acknowledgement too: a frozen shoulder coming out of its hibernation and getting back to work reaching for things like fresh coffee or pulling a loved one into a hug.  a restless leg finally.... taking rest! and yesterday this utterance following a treatment: "i feel like a new person". it feels a little cumbersome and clonkity to share that buuuuuut...

...resisting the urge to self-deprecate and deflect in the re-telling, that's an old pattern that i'm ready to bury so that like nepo says, something new can grow 🌱
