"My friends, do not lose heart. We were made for these times. I have heard from so many recently who are deeply and properly bewildered. They are concerned about the state of affairs in our world now. Ours is a time of almost daily astonishment and often righteous rage over the latest degradations of what matters most to civilized, visionary people.⠀ ⠀ You are right in your assessments. The lustre and hubris some have aspired to while endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is breathtaking. Yet, I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is that we were made for these times. Yes. For years, we have been learning, practicing, been in training for and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement." from 'Letter to a young activist', Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes
"We were made for these times." Today I'm taking comfort in rereading Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes 'Letter to a young activist.' Anointing myself with healing oils. Breathing in and breathing out. Feeling love and being in community. What are you doing to restore your spirit these days?

Thanks for sharing this @CicutoAcu . May those who mourn be comforted, and let us use all the gifts of the earth to bring a better world into being.⠀ ⠀ Reposting @cicutoacu: ⠀ ...⠀ "Aromatherapy can really help access healing on an emotional and spirit level. The 5 element anointing oil blends from @angelica.peony + @cicutoacu are intended to be used mostly for emotional issues and physical issues that may be affected by our response to emotional stressors.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ The past week has had some really difficult news, with the deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, and the recent CDC study showing how much suicide rate has increased in this country. .⠀ .⠀ We need transformational change in our society, especially when it comes to ending the stigma about mental illness. Our 5 element anointing oils alone won’t change this but it can be part of it.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Did you know that Traditional Chinese Medicine (including acupuncture, herbs, essential oils and other therapies) can help if you have any of these: anxiety, depression, sadness, grief, fear, shock, trauma, and/or worry? Yes, it can.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Ask your acupuncturist for more information on how Traditional Chinese Medicine can help with your mental health.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ And hey, if you know someone who is struggling with mental health issues, please reach out to them. .⠀ .⠀ 🌳🔥⚔🗻 🌊At each of the following June events, you can sample the five element anointing oils:⠀ .⠀ Sunday 6/17 from 4-5:30pm: ear acupuncture + restorative yoga with @cicutoacu at Island Yoga in Alameda.

In my carry-on luggage! Flying a tiny plane, so I definitely pop a couple of ginger capsules half an hour before take-off to combat motion-sickness. They help on the twisty car ride from the airport too! I added some aromatherapy aide with MOVE Earth Healing Anointing Oil on Pericardium 6 - the anti-nausea point on the inside of the forearm, two finger-widths from the wrist crease. I applied and inhaled a bit of the spicy, warming CLEAR Water Anointing Oil during the flight to keep my spirit grounded and my mind from sloshing. And lip balm because, well, gotta have it!⠀ ⠀ 🌳🔥⚔🗻 🌊At each of the following June events, you can sample the five element anointing oils from @angelica.peony and @cicutoacu ⠀ ⠀ Sunday 6/17 from 4-5:30pm: ear acupuncture + restorative yoga with @cicutoacu at Island Yoga in Alameda.

Treatment room staples... Healing Anointing Oil blends, ginger menthol balm and Swimming Dragon oil. I might have a few others out depending on who's on the table or what I'm feeling in the room. This combo was ready to help with stress, headaches and water retention.

Summertime! We're in the Fire element season now in the Northern hemisphere - moving towards the peak Yang moment of the year, Summer Solstice aka MidSummer. If you go out for dinner with acupuncturists in the US (something I do a lot since my friends are mostly acupuncturists or longtime acupuncture receivers!) you'll hear a chorus of 'water with no ice please!'. Ice water is considered shocking to the system and hard on the digestive system - dumping a bucket of snow on your cooking fire! The effect is even stronger when it's hot outside. Try these room temp or slightly cool hydrating herbal flavored drinks during the next hot day. Check out my blog for more on why you should choose tea in the heat and how to make some of these drinks at home.⠀ ⠀ 🌳🔥⛰️⚔️🌊 Summer is almost here! The Fire element is associated with the season of Summer. At each of these June events, you can sample the five element anointing oils from @angelica.peony & @cicutoacu including Nourish Fire & Calm Fire.⠀ .⠀ Sunday 6/17 from 4-5:30pm: ear acupuncture + restorative yoga with @cicutoacu at Island Yoga in Alameda. It will be a benefit by donation for Charlotte Maxwell Clinic providing integrative cancer care to low-income women free of charge. Space limited, RSVP to info@alamedaislandyoga.com to reserve your spot!⠀ .⠀ Sunday 6/24 3-5pm:⠀ @angelica.peony will be giving a talk at Vibrant Health & Wellness in San Leandro on quitting smoking with acupuncture and Chinese medicine - including essential oils.⠀ .⠀ Also on 6/24 from 7-8:30pm with @cicutoacu + @claudiamarruiz ⠀ Ear acupuncture + Shamanic journeying near the summer solstice.
