Dear Friends,
New Year greetings for 2024.
I hope the start of the new year finds you and those you love healthy and open to new opportunities.
The new lunar cycle will begin on February 10th. The lunar cycle welcomes the year of the wood green-dragon. To honor the energy of the dragon and the early start to spring, begin the process to clear, clean, sort and release the old to make space for the new!
Health enhancement is our journey together, I will pass along a suggestion from practitioners of the feng shui-nine stars perspective for 2024. To support, protect and enhance health they suggest adding a Hulu, a Chinese medicine gourd, or any type of gourd, to your home and office in the South-East direction. The gourd will collect negative energy, so I recommend every 3 months take it down to clean the South-East corner and the gourd and then return it to continue the intention to protect/support health this year.
We are in the winter season and we are all looking to keep our immune systems stable, I suggest drinking teas that both support the immune system and are adaptogens which help us to manage stress and daily life challenges. These teas are readily available: Tulsi and Ashwagandha, so start with them. They can be drunk as a combination or separately. I suggest drinking the tea mid-morning and/or afternoon, not past 4pm because they can be a bit stimulating for the system. The teas have an earthy flavor, and some find this a challenge so you can add honey and any type of plant based “milk” you enjoy.
To support the respiratory system during winter, conifer aromas are helpful: pine, spruce, fir. As essential oils they can be combined to diffuse in a room or in a candle. If you use the conifers in a warm bath, always add a fatty base oil, like olive, almond or jojoba to smooth the delivery system to the skin.
The uplifting aromas of citrus can relieve us of the gloominess that can emerge during the dark and cold days of winter. You can diffuse essential oils or find candles that release the uplifting aromas of orange, grapefruit, bergamot, or pomelo.
While the intensity of viral spread has lessened, the winter remains a time when all viruses are circulating more due to indoor activity. If you wish assistance working through viruses, including covid, or recovery from illness, acupuncture and its related modalities can be of assistance; please be in touch if you would like support for these issues. In winter the lower back can feel vulnerable, if that is the case, I’m around. If your energy is low or you feel gloomy or your head hurts or your heart, or any other health, body/mind/spirit issues arise, please reach out! I will do my best to assist you to work through the challenge.
I continue to thank you for your trust in my delivery of acupuncture and its related modalities and appreciate the referrals you so generously share with your family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues.
I wish you continued stable health, enhanced happiness, and prosperity for 2024.
I look forward to welcoming you to the office, with warm regards,
Kathleen
