We are sold the image of vitality as that of youth We are sold the image of vitality as that of youth and physical vigor. And there is indeed a physical substrate to being wholeheartedly embodied in this world. But vitality is more than a photogenic body. Vitality comes from our bones, our spirit, from an indomitable will to engage the world with our feet planted deeply, firmly on the ground. It comes from having the heart to see what’s missing in the world and not let that throw us away or lure us into a swan dive of despair or distraction. Vitality invites us to sit with the breech, inhabit the gap between where our mind’s eye sees potential and the world as it arises in this moment. . How do you know you’ve engaged your vitality? Life becomes more surprising, and small inputs bring disproportionately large changes. . A snippet from the August newsletter. Are you subscribed?

..."[Those who] say that old diseases cannot be ta ..."[Those who] say that old diseases cannot be taken up speak wrongly. Those [who] use needles should look for [the cause of] disease. Then the thorn can be removed, the dirt wiped clean, the knot untied, and the blockage opened up. Even though a disease is longstanding, it can be stopped. Those who say [these conditions] cannot be treated have not yet realized their skill." —Inner Classic, Divine Pivot, Chapter 1 . This quote from the Nei Jing opens the book "Applied Channel Theory in Chinese medicine: Wang Ju-Yi Lectures on Channel Therapy" by Jason Robertson.

We are not therapists, but often people think we a We are not therapists, but often people think we are because we ask questions that touch on the emotional landscape. How do we navigate with respect and not get over our heads? . Who we are as people show up in who we are as practitioners. We can't avoid our issues. And we have a responsibility to not use our experience with our patients to "fix" ourselves, and at the same time, we do grow by bumping up against our shadow material. How to walk through that landscape ethically? . When we graduate, rather than offering congratulations, we should be told to "buckle up." . This week's show is with Seanna Sifflet (@seannalacmsw). We discuss the boundaries between acupuncture and therapy, overcoming our biases, the healing potentials in empathy, capacity and forgiveness, and much more. . Members will see the new episode in their podcast feed. If you are member-curious, head over to the website (link in profile) 👆🏼for more info. *Today’s episode is available to everyone.* .

"These experiences can often feel overwhelming; calling in resources or supportive people can help to normalize the feelings around the experience. Make amends when needed. If [you] make a mistake, apologize and then set the intention to learn and grow from [it]. Working with people can be a vulnerable process, and understanding this takes away the pressure of perfection." How often do you ask yourself, 'How am I feeling in this moment? How do you bring calm into your practice and life? We get into these topics and a whole lot more. My conversation with Seanna Sifflet (@seannalacmsw) drops Tuesday morning. . . . #qiologicalpodcast #acupuncturepodcast #healthyboundaries #selfcare #selfcultivation #beingpresent
