Shenmen (神門)-“Spirit Gate”

One of the ear points I use most often in practice.

Traditionally used to calm the mind and settle the spirit, Shenmen is often included as part of treatments that support nervous system regulation, relaxation, emotional balance, and sleep.

In Chinese medicine, it is considered one of the most important points for supporting emotional and mental well-being.

Small point. Big fan 🤍

A fantastic weekend at the conference, bringing together colleagues, educators, researchers, students, graduates, and leaders from across the profession.

It was a privilege to spend time with so many talented people, from experienced practitioners and professional leaders to students taking their first steps into the profession.

One of the highlights for me was seeing students and graduates presenting their work, sharing their ideas, and celebrating their achievements. As an educator, those moments are always particularly rewarding.

Thank you to everyone involved in organising such an inspiring event and to all those who contributed their knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm throughout the weekend.

The future of our profession is in very good hands 🤍

This usually gets a laugh.

Then a long silence.

Because many of the people I work with are already incredibly resilient.

They keep going when they’re exhausted.
They take on more responsibility.
They carry the workload of multiple people.
They push through.

At some point, the question stops being:

“How do I become more resilient?”

And becomes:

“Is what I’m asking of myself actually reasonable?” 🤍

Summer is often associated with feeling lighter, happier, more energised.

But not everybody experiences it that way.

For some people, summer feels overstimulating…longer days, more plans, more noise, more social energy, more to process.

One of the things Chinese medicine recognises is that seasons affect people differently.

Sometimes supporting yourself during highly active seasons looks less like doing more, and more like creating moments where your system can properly settle.

That might mean choosing a quieter summer evening sometimes, a slower morning, less stimulation, or letting yourself rest instead of always feeling pressure to go out and keep up🤍

I’m not sure we were designed to spend all of our time away from stillness, seasons, and slower places.

Perhaps one reason quieter spaces feel supportive is because they ask a little less from us.

Where do you go when you need a little more quiet? 🤍

A few reflections from recent patients.

Working in this way isn’t always dramatic or immediate, but over time it can shift things that have felt stuck for a long while.

From women’s health to pain, to mental and emotional health, much of the work is about supporting the nervous system and allowing the body to regulate more effectively.

It’s a quiet process, but often a meaningful one.

Thank you to my patients who have trusted the process 🤍

Like water, healing doesn’t come from force.
Water doesn’t grip, it flows.
It softens, it finds a way.
And when the body feels safe, it does the same.

At this stage of my life, the most important thing for me is the environment. I need to feel safe .. in a place, in a space, in a presence, before any real change can happen.

One of the reasons I love acupuncture is because of the way it gently supports the nervous system: easing the body out of stress and into a state where it can rest, respond, and begin to heal.

In Chinese medicine, the focus is on restoring balance and working with the body rather than against it. As the nervous system settles, change doesn’t need to be forced. The body is allowed to respond in its own time 🤍

I’ve always enjoyed poetry, especially when it sits alongside medicine rather than outside it.

I recently read “The Song of Genuine Qi” by Man Fong Mei, a Chinese medicine practitioner whose writing moves between clinical understanding and poetic reflection.

The poem speaks about struggle, between what is genuine and what distorts, between clarity and the pull of power, between disorder and coherence.

What stays with me most from this poem is its insistence on return: that there will be a time when what supports life can become abundant again. A thought I am carrying into 2026🤍
