By Kalpana (Rose) M. Kumar, M.D.



The past two years have been challenging for many to remain aligned with integrity and self-responsibility. Despite the ways we seem divided, we are at heart, one people, Americans, each of us dependent on one another for humanity and kindness. In fact, we need one another now more than ever before. It is so important to practice kindness and keep your heart open.....

TCM Body Clock VI

Chunchieh Bruce Sun, Cac., MSOM, Dipl OM

The Small Intestine Meridian starts from the tip of the little finger and crosses the palm and wrist. It runs upwards along the posterior side of the forearm until it reaches the back of the shoulder where it ends at the uppermost part of the back (the bottom of the neck). At this position, it first branches off and moves internally through the heart and stomach to reach the small intestine. The second branch travels externally across the neck and cheek until it reaches the outer corner of the eye and then enters the ear. A short branch in the cheek moves upward to the inner corner of the eye where it connects with the Bladder Meridian.

 

Have a headache? Let's release it!

Emily Klik, LMT, CST

"Through my years as a craniosacral therapist, I’ve noticed that headaches come in many forms and intensities, with a variety of symptoms, all including discomfort. Just to name a few, there are tension headaches, sinus headaches, inflammation headaches, migraines. They can be triggered by dehydration, stress, anxiety, loud noises, sleep deprivation, allergies, concussion, jaw tension, or even medication.

Things I Learned From a Brain Tumor

Shelley Carpenter, PT, RYT, RM

In April of 2013, it was discovered that I had a benign brain tumor which was affecting my vision, and if left alone, would continue to grow, affecting other brain function as well. I had surgery that June to remove the safely operable portion. I was given time to recover, then received the news that I would have to undergo 28 radiation treatments in September and October of that year to inactivate the remaining tumor.

 

A Meditation of Love

Eric Ehrke, LCSW, LMFT

Love enables us to conquer illusion, rise above division and prepares us for a good fight for our survival. Often conflict looks like a challenge to love one another more, but it is usually a reminder to develop more self-love. Humanity is an aspect of divinity disguised as friends and strangers. Inner peace is accomplished by becoming whole ourselves. What occurs in our internal world appears in our outer world. Whatever deepens our ability to experience joy, happiness and love needs to remain in our life. 

THE EXPEREINCE OF TIREDNESS

David Johnson, CCH

If you find yourself feeling really tired and depleted, a way to understand this more fully would be to ask yourself questions like, ’How does the tiredness actually feel and how does it affect me?’ The answers to these questions are likely different for each of us, so the reflective process can be a way to uncover the causes or roots underneath the symptoms. Once we identify these, we can adjust the patterns that contribute to and may even cause our feelings of fatigue and depletion.
