In addition to social distancing, we can utilize gifts from the Five Elements to support us right now:


Wood element - Can we remain flexible in this time of rapid change when it is easy to feel thwarted? Can we change our goals or find flexible ways to achieve them?


Fire element - How creative can we be in staying connected even as we are physically separated?


Earth element - How can we take this time to tend to ourselves and our community, to get outdoors, and to pause and reground frequently?


Metal element - What is truly of most importance to us right now and can we gracefully let go of the rest?


Water element - In the face of fear and uncertainty, how can we show courage and take appropriate planning and preparedness steps that are good for us and also for our community? How can we take in information in doses or forms that serve versus overwhelm.

Dear Patients,


I have made the very difficult decision of closing my practice through at least March 31 and potentially longer. I have a deep commitment to each of you, so this weighs heavily on me. I made the decision for 4 main reasons:


-As a complementary care provider, I have great respect for the role of Western medicine, and am committed to “flattening the curve” of novel coronavirus transmission so that I do not unknowingly contribute to overwhelming our hospitals.


-Now that it appears we have reached community transmission in the U.S. and people can be contagious before symptoms develop, asking patients not to come in if they have traveled or if they feel sick or refraining from coming in if I feel sick may not be enough to prevent the spread of this virus.


-The DC Health Dept. recommended today that non-urgent healthcare appointments be rescheduled. While this was mainly around preserving healthcare resources, reducing transmission was also a stated goal.


-I am particularly concerned about any of us inadvertently spreading it to anyone at high risk, especially during this critical stage with our healthcare system.


May you be well,

Wendy

I've always wished my family had Reiki in our lives when my father had cancer. I'm glad to see this couragous couple had Reiki as a support during their journey.
