So inspiring to learn in person from a wonderful teacher. I used some of what we learned to make a custom blend the next day that was so effective! 🌹🌲🌿 #Repost @cicutoacu (@get_repost) ・・・ What an amazing class with Josephine Spilka of @thenectarofplants at @energymattersacupuncture yesterday! We learned a lot about Essential oils and Epigenetics. . Plus Evelyn from @alchemica.botanica was there with samples of her Chinese herb essential oils - You can see their glorious colors in the second photo. (Wish I could make it a scratch and sniff for you!) . It felt like an afternoon at Hogwarts! #essentialoils #chinesemedicine #plantallies #chineseherbs #plantwisdom #alchemy

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
