I thank all of you for supporting and understanding
acupuncture. 2007 has been a great year, and I am
looking forward to what 2008 would bring. The holiday
season is upon us and I wish you health, happiness,
and abundance (or blessing).
In this season of joy, I would like to reflect on
those who departed us and now rejoicing in heaven.
Gayle Toups was a wonderful mother and wife. Doreene
Clement had a strong spirit and was a dear friend.
Ferrell Secakuku was a former tribal chairman of the
Hopi Reservation, a snake priest, and a pacifist. I
miss them very much.
Good thing about my profession is that I make many
friends. I enjoy meeting people and derive my
happiness in their progress. I am truly blessed and
at the same time I am guided. I know I am in the
right course, and I look forward to the New Year.
Happy holidays!
Su Wen* Chapter 2: Winter
Chapter 2 is about how to live according to the four
seasons. "In winter, one should go to bed early and
get up late. Keep the body warm, and not to sweat
much (exhaustion of Yang Energy). If one is to
violate the principle, the Kidney is hurt."
I suggest keeping the lower back and the lower abdomen
warm. During the winter, the action is in storing.
Do not over exercise and sweat too much, for the
action is counter-productive to your health. If you
already have lower back pain, make sure your back is
warm as soon as you get up from bed and out of sheet.
This is the time our body is susceptible to cold and
flu. If you have a digestive issue, do not drink iced
water or tea. Making stomach cold not only reduces
the digestive capability, but also weakens the immune
system. Drink room temperature water or warmer.
Simple Things You Can Do For Your Health No. 11
Relax your fingers and open your hand. Bring the arch
made by the index finger and the thumb under the
earlobe. Where the tip of the thumb hits the back of
the head lays a famous point called "Wind Pool
(GB-20)." This is a very good point for headache,
prevention of cold/flu, sinusitis, empyema, vision,
cerebral anemia, shoulder and neck pain, just to name
a few. Knead the area. If your thumb gets tired,
rotate the head instead while the thumb is firmly
placed on the point.
