Greetings!

Summer is at its height, the days are getting hotter and if you're not splashing in the ocean waves, you may be looking for some opportunities to cool off. I can give you at least two options! Indulge in a one and a half hour discounted Acupuncture session to exult in the goodness of life and delight in your own creative expression. Through the ancient medicine of Acupuncture, my job is to help reveal more of your constitutional gifts so you remember that you are always a part of something greater, while honoring your intrinsic nature (and of course alleviate any pain or discomfort along the way!) And two, join me this sunday for a totally rejuvenating and uplifting experience of Flow Relax Renew. I'll guide you through a meditative slow vinyasa practice and top it off with a delicious yoga nidra (deep yogic sleep) for 40 minutes! Can't beat that in 100 degrees!

I welcome the opportunity to help you in your personal journey towards true happiness and peace . In the meantime, may abundance spread through you, around you and all that you do.

Namaste,
Anisha 

 

 

Acupuncture
 How does it work?wildflower
Although many people are familiar with acupuncture, many are unsure of how it works. "So...how will sticking a needle in my foot make my headache go away?" people ask, as they back slowly towards the door.

It's important to understand that Chinese medical theory views the body in a very different way than the western medical field. Western medicine tends to focus on symptoms, and treats these symptoms as the body's primary problem. This is an incredibly useful mode of thought when the symptom really IS the problem-for instance, with a broken bone-but it does have its limitations. Chinese medicine, on the other hand, views the body as an integrated whole. Symptoms are indications of a root imbalance, and if that imbalance is addressed, the symptoms will be alleviated.

 

Early practitioners of Chinese medicine determined that particular symptoms are correlated with particular root imbalances. They studied the body with great care. Ultimately, they concluded that there were pathways along the body that connected certain organs to certain muscles, bones and nerves-and that stimulating these pathways could encourage the corresponding organs to function more effectively. For instance, there are acupuncture points on the shin that have long been used to treat stomach ailments, because the pathway that corresponds to the stomach runs along the shin. Thin, sterile, stainless steel needles direct the flow of Qi (bioelectric current) in the body. Moving this electromagnetic energy at specific points reestablishes metabolic harmony and balance. Treating the root cause, releasing blockages, and redirecting the flow of Qi restores your body to its natural state.
