✨ The Healing Power of Presence

I came across a fascinating story in The Way of Qigong by Kenneth Cohen.

Dr. Wang was becoming so popular that his patients had to book appointments weeks in advance. Instead of seeing them one by one, he invited them all to meet at a café for a cup of tea. He simply greeted each person and shook their hand.

The next day, some patients called to cancel their appointments. They were feeling better.

His explanation? The power of human presence.

Every interaction with another person has the potential to heal or to harm. Our energy, attention, kindness, and the way we make others feel can have a profound impact.

Dr. Wang practiced Qigong to develop this quality of presence.

He believed that when two acupuncturists use exactly the same technique, the one who has cultivated their inner energy through Qigong may achieve better results.

It makes me think…

Perhaps healing is not only about what we do, but also about who we are when we are with another person.

Sometimes, a warm smile, a genuine touch, a moment of undivided attention, or simply being there can mean more than we realize.

✨ Never underestimate the power of your presence.

Inspired by “The Way of Qigong” by Kenneth Cohen.

✈️🌿 A LITTLE SELF-CARE FOR YOUR NEXT JOURNEY!

Traveling can be exciting, but long flights, jet lag, motion sickness, and unfamiliar surroundings can sometimes leave us feeling tired, anxious, or overwhelmed.

Did you know that acupressure offers a simple way to practice mindful self-care while traveling?

Here are 7 acupressure points traditionally used to support relaxation and comfort:

✨ Spleen 6 – relaxation and rest
✨ Stomach 36 – traditionally associated with energy and vitality
✨ Pericardium 6 – commonly used for motion sickness and nausea
✨ Yin Tang – relaxation and travel-related stress
✨ Large Intestine 4 – traditionally used for tension relief
✨ Ear Shen Men – relaxation and calming support
✨ Kidney 1 – grounding and relaxation

💚 Gently massage each point for 1–2 minutes while breathing slowly and relaxing.

A little reminder: acupressure is a complementary wellness practice, not a substitute for medical care. Some points, including Spleen 6 and Large Intestine 4, should be avoided during pregnancy unless cleared by a qualified practitioner.

Save this guide and take a little moment for yourself on your next trip!

✨ SI-1 to SI-6: Acupoints That May Help Support Relaxation and Relieve Discomfort

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, points along the Small Intestine meridian are used in acupuncture and acupressure practices. Stimulating these points may help promote relaxation and support relief from certain types of pain and discomfort.

🌿 Potential benefits of stimulating SI-1 to SI-6:

• 💆‍♀️ May help relieve certain types of pain and muscle tension.

• 🧘 May promote relaxation and support stress management.

• 🤕 May help with some types of headaches.

• ✨ May support comfort when experiencing stiffness or muscular discomfort.

• 👂 Is being explored as a complementary approach for symptoms such as tinnitus (ringing in the ears).

• 🦶 May complement a broader approach to managing heel and lower-back discomfort.

• 🌸 May be used alongside professional care for certain conditions associated with swelling.

💫 A gentle reminder: Evidence supporting the effectiveness of these specific acupoints is limited and varies depending on the condition. Acupuncture and acupressure should not replace medical evaluation or treatment. They are not proven treatments for epilepsy or tinnitus.

Taking care of yourself starts with listening to your body, learning about different wellness practices, and choosing safe, informed ways to support your well-being. 🌿

🍂 Why Do We Get Sick When the Seasons Change?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), our body’s natural defenses are closely connected to the strength of our Protective Qi (Wei Qi) — the energy believed to help protect us from external influences and maintain balance.

As the seasons change, our bodies must adapt to new temperatures, routines, and environmental conditions. This is a perfect time to pay extra attention to our immunity, digestion, and overall well-being. 🌿

✨ In TCM, late summer is associated with the Earth element, which governs the Spleen and Stomach systems. These systems are traditionally viewed as essential for transforming food into energy and nourishing the rest of the body.

How can we support this balance?

🍵 Choose warm, nourishing meals.
💧 Avoid excessive amounts of ice-cold drinks if they upset your digestion.
😴 Prioritize restful sleep.
🧘‍♀️ Find ways to manage stress, worry, and anxiety.
🌱 Maintain consistent daily routines and listen to your body.

According to TCM, the Spleen and Stomach support the Lung and Large Intestine systems. That’s why digestive balance is considered an important foundation of overall health.

As we transition into a new season, let’s give our bodies the care and nourishment they need. ❤️

✨ Want to learn more about supporting your digestion and seasonal wellness through TCM?

Comment STRONG below, and I’ll send you my Spleen Support Bundle and Change of Season Bundle to explore ways to support your digestive health and well-being.

🌿 Your wellness begins with the little things you do every day.

🐧❤️ Meet Pip — a 29-year-old African penguin receiving acupuncture in Boston!

Pip, a critically endangered African penguin, hatched at the New England Aquarium in 1997. At 29 years old, he has lived far beyond the typical 10–15 year life expectancy of penguins in the wild.

Late last year, Aquarium trainers and veterinary staff noticed that Pip had developed an unusual gait and a limp. After trying different pain medications, the team decided to explore additional, integrative treatments — including acupuncture.

For the past nine months, Pip has been receiving acupuncture from licensed acupuncturist Dr. Claire McManus, who has 25 years of experience treating both humans and animals. 🪡🐧

As penguins age, they can develop conditions such as osteoarthritis and spinal disease, which may cause pain, stiffness, and changes in the way they walk.

According to Dr. Melissa Joblon, Director of Animal Health at the New England Aquarium, combining acupuncture and physical therapy with other treatments can help reduce the amount of pain medication needed and improve an animal’s quality of life.

And Pip isn’t the only senior penguin at the Aquarium. 🥰

The New England Aquarium cares for 49 penguins, and about 60% of them have already surpassed the 15-year life expectancy of their wild counterparts.

At 29, Pip is clearly a little old man — but he’s still getting the care, attention, and love he deserves. 🐧❤️

Sometimes, getting older just means you need a little extra support. And apparently… that support can include acupuncture! 🪡✨
