YOU DON’T HAVE TO MENSTRUATE TO HAVE A CYCLE!! ANYONE CAN CYCLE WITH THE MOON!! (I have a blog post on my website going into this)

Eclipses and menstrual cycles have some striking parallels: cyclical patterns and they signify moments of transformation and renewal, symbolizing transitions representing themes of creativity, and rebirth.

It was thought to be an omen that the current Emperor’s reign would be ending soon, as it represented the light being extinguished on their reign.
Solar eclipses represent a wave of extreme yin which can result in a lack of confidence, extreme fatigue, and lower self esteem; for those who typically have lower energy levels it may be best to increase all the self care practices and hold tight!

Ear seeds are based on the principles of auriculotherapy, which is a form of acupuncture that focuses on the ear. How can one start to memorize this map??

*this is a very simplified version but gives a great idea of how the microsystem of the entire body fits on the ear*

Hey internet,

Asking for assistance is never easy, but I've exhausted all other options, and I'm left with no choice but to turn to the kindness of strangers and friends alike. It's with a heavy heart that I find myself in a situation I never thought I'd be in, and I'm finally reaching out for help. Just a few weeks ago, my car was stolen, and what's worse, I discovered that my car insurance had been unexpectedly canceled two days prior, without my knowledge.

I'm setting up this GoFundMe campaign to seek support for the replacement of my stolen car and the mounting expenses that have come with this unfortunate incident. On top of this, I have recently graduated with my master's degree, and I'm facing expensive licensing exams and student loans that I keep having to put off due to my financial situation.

Why I Need Your Help: Replacing my stolen car is a significant financial burden, especially when I'm already dealing with the stress of losing my mode of transportation. With no public transportation nearby and an uber costs $50 one way to one of my jobs, this is not sustainable. Without a car, I risk losing some of my jobs, which would lead to a devastating domino effect on my life and my ability to make ends meet. Your support would not only help me secure a new (used) car but also enable me to take those crucial exams and start my career as an acupuncturist.

The Funds: I'm seeking to raise $12,000 to cover the cost of a used car, reinstate my insurance coverage, and cover the expenses related to my acupuncture licensing exams. Every dollar counts, and any amount you can contribute will make a significant impact on my situation.

How You Can Help:Donate: Your generous donations will directly contribute to getting me back on the road and allowing me to take my licensing exams. No contribution is too small, and I'm truly grateful for your support.Share: Even if you're unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign with your network can go a long way in helping me reach a wider audience who may be able to help.

I never thought I'd find myself in a situation like this, but I believe in the kindness of people, and I'm reaching out with an open heart. With your help, I hope to overcome this obstacle, pass my licensing exams, and rebuild my life. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can provide. Your assistance, in any form, will make a world of difference.

Thank you for being a ray of hope, Mads

Acupuncture has been shown to be effective for a variety of conditions. It is often used as a complementary therapy in conjunction with conventional medical treatments.

One of the benefits of acupuncture is that it is a non-invasive and low-risk treatment. However, it is important to seek treatment from a qualified and experienced acupuncturist to minimize the risk of side effects or complications.

Overall, acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for a variety of conditions.
