Artists are helping raise funds for those affected by the #californiafires. Thank you! ❤️ #Repost @impressedbynature (@get_repost) ・・・ In light of the devastating fires that California has been enduring for nearly a week now, local artists are coming together to raise money for both Northern and Southern CA support. Sadly, this is the second year we’re doing this. . The Camp Fire in Butte County has now been called the deadliest in California history. No matter what the president says, now is not the time to blame, now is the time to help! And Californians need your help! This is just one of the ways you can lend a hand 🙌🏻 . @californiafirehelp is back up and running after raising $38k for Sonoma County residents last year. Artists are donating their items and 100% of sales will go directly to support the fire efforts. You can shop this necklace and plenty more 👉🏻 CALIFORNIAFIREHELP.com. Thank you in advance for your support ✨🌸🌼🌺 . . . #californiafires #californiafirehelp #californiamade #californiastrong #standtogether #strongertogether #weareallinthistogether #wereallinthistogether #supportoneanother #campfire #woolseyfire

I can't imagine what the folks directly in the fire areas are going through. Sending prayers for rain and with an incredible sense of urgency about climate action. Thanks to @erinwoodacupuncture for giving me a mask! The smoke is so thick it's hard to believe... Or breathe. Swipe to see Oakland at 330 pm this afternoon. It's so sad to have to say "stay inside"... But please do so as much as you can. Only a N95 or N100 particulate filtering mask (or respirator) will protect you... Not a flu mask. I haven't been able to find info about free places to get them in the East Bay, but apparently some libraries have them in South San Francisco, and Ace Hardware on Great Ave in Oakland has them for sale. Please comment if you have info! You can take lung tonifying and soothing herbs and eat lots of pears, but limiting your exposure is the most important. Send up those prayers for rain and safety for all beings in the fire areas! #norcalfires #fireseason #wildfires #oakland #climatechange #motherearth #traditionalchinesemedicine #acupuncture #breath #airquality #bayarea
Vote! Vote! Vote! Like a baby stoat! This remains my fave GOTV slogan of all time. Thanks to all of you doing the work of getting out the vote, countering misinformation and voter suppression, and to the amazing inspiring candidates committing to public service, like @therealcatbrooks right here in Oakland. My fave tip for great natural skin care? That special glow that comes from living in a just society. Here's to a better future for everyone. ❤️🗳️☮️ #gotv #oakland #healers #healtheworld 📸unknown. Baby stoat by mother nature.
I'll be away on meditation retreat until October 22. For acupuncture and healing help, contact @energymattersacupuncture in Oakland, @cicutoacu in Alameda or @erinwoodacupuncture in San Leandro. And you can always get Angelica & Peony locally at @energymattersacupuncture , @conceptfortyseven in Oakland and SF, @wildchildoakland and other locations (check my website for them all!) Honestly, I've never been so worried about what's going to happen in the world while I'm completely out of touch for 10 days. Good reason to get meditating. I'm very grateful for this practice and all our spiritual teachers and ancestors. Cultivating a mindfulness or spiritual practice is the most vital medicine for this time.

🎉📢Big news friends! I'm delighted to announce that my acupuncture practice will be moving to Energy Matters Acupuncture and Qigong on Piedmont Ave. in Oakland. Energy Matters is a truly special healing place.⠀ ⠀ 🌓What is Energy Matters? Four physicians of Traditional Chinese medicine (I'll be the fifth!), a large pharmacy, a robust Qigong program, mindfulness program and a growing bevy of wellness offerings. Created by visionary founder Kirstin Lindquist L.Ac, Energy Matters has been my home for healing for the past several years, and I am awed and privileged to join the practitioner team there!⠀ ⠀ 🗓️I'll be there seeing patients Thursday and Saturday mornings beginning October 27. Existing patients can move immediately to follow-up visits with no interruption in care, and if you've been thinking of seeing me, schedule a new patient visit to get started. Click the 'Book Now' button on the @energymattersacupuncture website or call 510.597.9923 to schedule.⠀ ⠀ 😊❣️Angelica & Peony Retreat Recharge Closure! I'll be away on a silent meditation retreat from October 10-21. Orders placed by Friday October 5 will ship before I leave, and others after my return. ⠀ 📸by @energymattersacupuncture ⠀ #acupuncture #traditionalchinesemedicine #oakland #healing #healingoakland #herbalmedicine #womenownedbusiness #meditation #mindfulness #vipassana #energymatters #qigong #tcmdermatology #piedmontave
Summer Wellness Series #8: Moving into Fall 🍁🍂⠀ ⠀⠀ Click the link in my bio to read the whole article, including some more self-care options and ideas for fall, and links to recipes for herbal cold and flu remedies, and follow #tcmsummerwellness for all the posts in the series.⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ ⠀ 🍁🍂🍃It’s an oft-noted irony that the time when the Earth is encouraging us to slow down and go inward is the time in our external calendar when things are getting busiest - back to school, the ramp up to the holiday season, and for us in the United States this year, an extra layer of work and anxiety around the mid-term elections and all that is at stake. ⠀ ⠀ 🍂Giving your lungs extra TLC: The Fall is the season of the Lung - they are especially vulnerable to allergens and viruses at this time of year. Improve the quality of the air indoors with an air purifier, air purifying plants and give your pillows a wash to eliminate allergens. Ask your acupuncturist about allergy treatments (best started before you are sneezing!) and buy or make some natural cold remedies to keep on hand so you can take them at the first signs of illness. My at-home faves are Fire cider or Ginger-Scallion tea, and my key essential oils to keep on hand at this time of year, especially for steam inhalation: Rosemary verbenone, balsam fir and sweet thyme (linalool).🌿⠀ ⠀ #tcmsummerwellness #holistichealing #traditionalchinesemedicine #summer #healing #naturalhealth #naturalhealing #herbalmedicine #latesummer #northerncalifornia #sfbayarea #oakland #sanleandro #acupuncture #acupuncturists #traditionalmedicine #kitchenmedicine #holisticuniversity #diyhealing #selfcare #feminism #healtheworld
