Happy New Year! Today is the Lunar New Year and marks the start of the Year of the Pig or Boar. I'm an Ox, and this is forecast to be a good year for Oxen to thrive in business and stay close to home. Sounds good! 🐷 What's your animal? 🐷 Here's a bit from Lilian Pearl Bridge's annual forecast. Enjoy! 🐷🐷🐷 "People will be very interested in food this year and the theme is that food must taste good. They will be less concerned about the calories or the nutrients and more focused on flavor. People will be cooking more; gathering and eating together more. They will cook family recipes and from their heritage. Comfort foods will bring pleasure. It is important to eat more cooked foods this year instead of so many raw foods. Fruits and Root Vegetables and Pulses all belong to the Earth Element and will be very nourishing this year. Yin Earth is also lightly sweet foods or sweets eaten in small quantities, so small pastries, light desserts, and creamy custards will be popular and consumed more than dense heavy desserts."

If you've been looking for a way to access the benefits of mindfulness, but don't know where to begin, I highly recommend Inner Peace, Outer Peace, a six week series in Oakland taught by Buddhist Chaplain and Physician of Traditional Chinese Medicine Prajna Choudhury. Enter into or renew a meditation practice in a supportive, non-judgemental atmosphere. You'll learn everything you need to begin to unlock this powerful practice that can benefit everyone! Held in the beautiful Energy Matters studio on Piedmont Ave, the next series begins February 6, and an evening class will be offered in August. ❤️😔 Visit @energymattersacupuncture Website for more info and to register. #mindfulness #meditation #stillness #acupuncture #healing #innerpeace #health #quiet #oakland #oaklandevents #holisticmedicine
Or, it's always ok. I'm definitely saddling up my snail on this rainy day. As I've gotten older and experienced illness especially related to my energy levels, I'm grateful to have learned to appreciate the snail's pace. I used to be very intolerant of any slowness, in others and especially myself. Still working on it... Slowly. 🐌 #slow #slowmovement #winter #rest #naturalhealing#naturalhealth #sleep #illness #naturalcycles #acupuncture #traditionalchinesemedicine #restismedicine ・・・ 🖼️@buddhadoodles
A serious fairy toadstool has appeared in the garden in front of @energymattersacupuncture . 🍄🍄🍄 . I had a dream a few weeks ago where a Mushroom Goddess appeared to me with some recommendations about mushrooms I should be taking in a nighttime elixir, and I've started doing it. I love to eat mushrooms (we get beech and maitake every week in our box from @farmfreshtoyou ) but I've never taken them medicinally on an ongoing basis until now. I chose a blend from Blue Dragon Herbs that is Jade Windscreen modified to include a variety of medicinal mushrooms to create a tonic blend. I've just started, but you better believe I'll be following the instructions I was given! . 🍄🍄🍄 . Do you take mushrooms? Do other healers ever get prescriptions in your dreams? . 🌜😴🌿 . PS don't worry, I won't be eating the Smurf House toadstool from the parking lot! . 🍄🍄🍄 . #mushrooms #medicinalmushrooms #reishi #shitake #cordyceps #maitake #traditionalasianmedicine #traditionalmedicine #traditionalchinesemedicine #acupuncture #dreammedicine #medicinedream #healers
Recipe testing for my class this weekend, Demystifying the Instant Pot at @energymattersacupuncture (sorry, sold out!). 🍎🍏🍐🍒 This is fruit compote, a winter healing food that would have provided vital nutrients in the winter months in the days before December strawberries and January mangoes. ❄️❄️❄️ Adding warming spices like cinnamon, star anise and cardomom increases its medicinal quality... And deliciousness! I eat this on oatmeal every morning, but it's sweet enough for dessert. If you eat seasonally and are feeling tired of apples, 🍎 try compote (especially if you don't live in California ) #instantpot #wintereating #seasonal #seasonaleating #compote #acupuncture #tcm #pressurecooker #healingfoods #kitchenmedicine #spices #herbalhealing #oakland #oaklandevents #compoteismynewfavouriteword
