All the feels are welcome here. The tears, grief, and loss. The anger and rage. The disappointment, the frustration. The shame, fear, and anxiety. All of it. Your emotions and experience are not burdens to us, and you don't need to feel sorry for sharing them. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ We're grateful you do, actually - this is information, it is your experience, it is your truth in that moment. These feelings you have - they are so valuable and valid. You deserve to take up space putting words to what you feel. And you can do that here, with us, as much as you feel comfortable doing so. ⁣ ⁣ (And P.S. - don't worry about us "absorbing" your stuff. We each have our own methods of making sure our bodies, minds, spirits, and space stay neutral. Energetic hygiene is part of the deal with this work.)⁣ ⁣ You can share your joy and your laughter too. It's not always tears and heartache around these parts - there's a lot of humor and silliness mixed in with it all! The walls of our clinic are bathed with as many giggles as they are moxa smoke. ⁣ ⁣ And that's really the thing about healing, isn't it? Sometimes it feels heavy and hard, other times it's silly and absurdist, and sometimes it's both. The biggest changes often happen in a place of dissonance. Sometimes it's not comfortable - and that's okay. We're here for you, through all of it. ⁣ ⁣ xoxoxo⁣ ⁣ ••••••••••••••••••••••⁣ ⁣ #acupuncture #acupunk #herbalmedicine #foodtherapy #cupping #cuppingtherapy #firecupping #healthcoach #wellnesscoach #energymedicine #breathwork #healthfuelshustle #fuelyourhustle #selfcare #selfcareisntselfish #wellness #healing #minneapolis #mpls #northloop #northloopmpls #smallbusiness #bossbabe #bosswitch #moonmagic #communityovercompetition #massage
Ren17 // Dan Zhong or Shan Zhong // 膻中 // "Chest Center" ⁣ ⁣ Today’s acupressure lesson: Ren17 supports and circulates the Qi, promoting energy and vitality, releasing tension and fullness of the chest, and clearing energetic blockages. It’s helpful for chest pain, heart palpitations, anxiety, shortness of breath, and coughing. It also helps your food go down easily and stay down! Ren 17 is also helpful to reduce breast pain and improve lactation.⁣ ⁣ For trans folx who bind, or who have had chest surgery - this point is your BFF! Ren17 can open the chest and deepen the breath, reducing tension and discomfort from binding, tight undergarments, or altering posture to reduce the appearance of breast tissue. Anytime we work with folx who have had chest surgery (like this wonderful patient!), we use Ren17 to free the flow of qi post-surgically, reducing tightness and promoting healing in the tissues. ⁣ ⁣ Ren 17 can also help reduce difficulty "shutting off the mind" - inviting the consciousness to descend easily from the head, through the chest, and toward the vast darkness of the Kidneys for a more sound, restful, undisturbed sleep. ⁣That's some trippy shit, right?⁣ ⁣ To locate this point: ⁣⠀⁣ ▷Point is located on the midline of the sternum, at the level of the fourth intercostal space -- approximately at the nipple line.⁣ ▷Gently massage this point with comfortably firm pressure using your finger for a minute or two - bonus points if you combine with deep breathing!⁣⠀⁣ ▷Do this daily, or several times daily, for good health 💗⁣⠀⁣ ⁣ This is also an awesome point on which to place your favorite stone friends. Green aventurine, rose quartz, clear quartz, or bloodstone are a few of our faves - but whatever stones resonate with you personally is your best medicine.⁣ ⁣ ••••••••••••••••••••••⁣ ⁣ #acupuncture #acupunk #herbalmedicine #foodtherapy #cupping #cuppingtherapy #firecupping #healthcoach #wellnesscoach #energymedicine #breathwork #healthfuelshustle #fuelyourhustle #selfcare #selfcareisntselfish #wellness #healing #minneapolis #mpls #northloop #northloopmpls #smallbusiness #bossbabe #bosswitch #moonmagic #communityovercompetition #massage #transhealth
Anxiety, overwork, fatigue, poor sleep, menstrual issues, low libido, infertility, brain fog, headaches, breast tenderness... we see so these concerns in clinic all the time! Stress, and how that impacts hormonal balance, is at the root of so many of these issues. ⁣From a Chinese medicine perspective, hormones and their functions can be viewed through the paradigm of yin and yang. In order to feel our best, the forces of yin and yang need to be balanced in our bodies, minds, and spirit - and stress makes it pretty darn hard to find that balance.⁣ ⁣ Our #cliniccoven babe Leah brought the book "Balance Your Hormones, Balance Your Life", by Dr. Caludia Welch, MSOM, to our attention a while ago - and it's a gem. It explores ways to manage stress and support hormonal balance using approaches informed by Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and Western science. It describes hormones and their functions step by step, breaking down details of what they do - and what might happen when things are a little out of whack. It's full of lots of great lifestyle and dietary recommendations to support yourself when you're feeling crummy, and ways to stay feeling good once you're feeling better. ⁣ ⁣ It's a book we love recommending to folx who are experiencing a specific health condition, or who just want to learn more about what they can do to support their overall wellness. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Check out our "books" highlight on our profile page to see our other reading recommendations!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ••••••••••••••••••••••⁣ ⁣ #acupuncture #herbalmedicine #foodtherapy #cupping #chinesemedicine #elements #healthcoach #wellnesscoach #energymedicine #breathwork #healthfuelshustle #fuelyourhustle #universalabundance #selfcare #selfcareisntselfish #wellness #healing #minneapolis #mpls #northloop #northloopmpls #smallbusiness #bossbabe #bosswitch #moonmagic #communityovercompetition #likeaboss #book #bookstagram
