Thank you to everyone calling and visiting the practice to let me know about the recent article in the Wall Street Journal about acupuncture. For anyone who hasn’t seen it and is interested, here is the link:

WAKEY, WAKEY, EGGS AND BAKEY……as in bacon….. as in official waker uppers have been known to call this phrase out when it’s time to wake someone up. EVERY living thing (in the northern hemisphere that is) is waking/gearing up after the winter slumber. Maybe here in California we’re springing earlier than where you are, but never fear- SPRING IS NEAR!
Remember the earlier blog post with the list of nature/human associations the Chinese observed about fall? It’s time to list the spring relationships:
Yin Organ Liver
Yang Organ Gall Bladder
Sense Organ Eyes
Tissue Tendons
Taste Sour
Color Green
Sound Shouting
Odor Rancid
Emotion Anger/Frustration/Depression
Season Spring
Environment Wind
Developmental Stage Birth
Direction East
Body Type Tall and slender with strong bones and joints
These are the wood characteristics often used when thinking in a 5 element fashion. Do any carry more than usual significance for you? Think about it!
