These are unprecedented times. We have only an inkling, a vague sense of how the lightning pace of urbanization, crowding, noise, mass media, technology and explosive information overload is impacting our human brains and bodies, let alone our energy systems.

Amidst the sensory overload and stress to our nervous systems, we are more anxious and sleep-deprived, more “wired but tired” than ever before. We are needing stimulants to help us wake up and focus throughout our days, then needing downers (prescription and otherwise) to calm down at night. More and more we are losing touch with the natural world, our own inner wilderness and the things that make us feel most luminous and spirited.

We have the potential to live in intimate interaction with a cosmos that is a constant expression of radiant energy. In every culture and medical tradition before our current time, there was an understanding that all living creatures contain a vital life energy. It is this force that is behind an innate self-healing/self-regulating capacity that allows the body to adapt to stress, and to heal and transform itself.

Traditional Chinese medicine optimizes this inherent tendency towards wholeness, harnessing what in us longs to always move towards health.The philosophies of traditional Chinese medicine may be ancient, but they couldn’t be more relevant, futuristic even, for the times we live in. The old continues to be rediscovered and made new again in addressing our modern life-force deficiencies. 

Attending to all of the layers of your being—body, mind, spirit, and beyond—this is a transformational medicine that finds and supports your aliveness.
