A Lunisolar Way of Being
Today is a very special day. Largely unnoticed here in the United States, an estimated 2 billion humans around the world are celebrating. What are they celebrating? The transition from one lunisolar year to another, the water rabbit hopping aside, making way for the wood dragon. Last year, Lunar New Year of the Water Rabbit fell on January 22nd, and this year we celebrate the year of the Wood Dragon, February 10th. As a child, I always found it confusing that Chinese New Year was never on the same day. It wasn’t until much later that I understood its ancient significance rooted in agricultural celebration of the phasing out of winter and embracing a new spring.

Stressed this Holiday Season? Try Acupuncture!
One of the things acupuncture is most helpful for, among many, many things, is stress and anxiety! Patients usually start coming in for treatments because of an ailment or pain point, and most find a bonus “side effect” of these treatments to be stress relief. I’ve heard countless times that patients look forward to their “acu-nap” they often get to indulge in during acupuncture treatments, or just the “light”, warm and fuzzy feeling they have as they’re leaving their appointment.

Yet, it can be difficult to see that when we are triggered.
