Having finally accepted that my body is calling for assistance, I put a call in to two recommended Chinese Medicine Practioners. Both returned my calls with calm, competent responses; I already felt lighter. This was a pleasant surprise after the last few visits with my allopathic practioner left me crying in the waiting room. I accept these situations as the results of insensitive people making meager attempts to 'lighten up' the mood when they feel insufficient by not knowing what your problem is and therefore, believing you're the problem.
But our point here is to look ahead and that's what I've done. It looks like my 3 week episode is subsiding. Before the weekend I was so sensitive; fluorescent lights, the changes with the equinox, any energies around me. I took the weekend in stride. Then Sunday, feeling refreshed after a good night of sleep, my husband, daughter and I took a hike up the Hog Back Mountains (right off my street). It was a challenge for sure. My legs sometimes seemed to send a message up saying 'That's it!' but I kept going. The view was worth it as we looked out onto our valley and the Adirondacks in the distance. The feeling of accomplishment was fulfilling too.
I recommend acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for any who suffer. Similar to my experiences with Reiki, a sense of peace and nurturing take place on such a intuitive level - it nourishes the soul. Physical pain is relieved as well. After my first appointment, I felt nearly euphoric for several hours following my appointment. Although this feeling did not last forever, its memory left me feeling like it was worth it. Again today I visited with my acupuncturist. We spoke as she checked my pulses and jotted notes. She asked me questions about how I was feeling, good and bad. I showed her my tongue upon request. She then led me through an ancient old treatment to help heal my body. I'll continue with one more visit and a tincture therapy.
Its all about living with peace. Whatever it takes to make your path more genuine, do it. Care for thyself.
