Celebrate Life Every Day! Live to the Fullest !

Celebrate Life Every Day! Live to the Fullest !

We are all aware when the day ends, the time we need to go to sleep or our appointment times and many other time related life events.

There is an expression we all are aware of: "DEATH AND TAXES". Every year we think of taxes, but rarely of the DEATH.

Before you decide that this is a depressing article about death, it is not. It is rather an inspiration to be aware of one's own expiration date - just like the food you need to eat or things to accomplish in a certain time frame.

We are all aware of people occasionally dying, but unless it is our family, relatives or close friends, it has little impact on most of us.

Once I came to work at the hospital I used to work at and found out that the guy i worked with every day on the higher floor died over the weekend from a heart attack. I remember on stress reduction class, he told everyone he was thinking of sex and that produced relaxation for him and that made him less stressed. Well I guess in the end it did not work that well.

I noticed I was a bit down, and was not sure why. I worked at that time with heroin addicts and HIV/AIDS patients who routinely died. And that did not affect me that much on the most part because I expected them to occasionally die due to drug life styles or diseases. At that time we did not have medicines as we have now.

I realized that over the last week I had a chest discomfort over intense arguments with the now ex-wife at the time and was thinking of death. Once I understood where it was coming from, I felt better.

Recently I learned from the Facebook that my colleague whom I saw for treatment just about 8 months ago and who had an office few blocks from mine had stage 4 Lung cancer. I was stunned, because he looked good. Few days later, I learned that he died.

Then about a week later on the dance floor, an acquaintance of mine came to me and said hello. I noticed that he was very pale and lost a lot of weight. I instinctly asked him the usual "how are you" and he said "stomach problems".  I asked him subconsciously what his diagnosis was, he said, "stomach cancer".
He told me he was optimistic about his treatment.

I remembered my friend of 220 lbs all muscles, years ago died from the same cancer type. I gave the guy my card and told him that acupuncture can reduce nausea and stress, etc. I also told him I am in a process of purchasing some European equipment that some people credit with great health benefits (Lyme, parasites, even possibly cancer cell destruction use in Europe). (Not FDA evaluated or approved statement) and we parted.

I ate 3 big oatmeal cookies and had Chinese herbs and over ate in general that day. That night I woke up with a stomach pain. First thought of the stomach cancer guy, took homeopathy and in the morning was fine.

All these made me think and reminded me how temporary we are all here. How short our lives can be and how important it is NOT to waste time. How important it is to stay focused on life goals and set daily goals. It made me more focused on my health and use tools available to me including acupuncture, herbs, yoga, meditation, relationship and friendship screening and others things for prevention, wellness and life improvements.

Nobody can predict how long one is going to live, but we all know the time will come. So I hope that this article will encourage and inspire YOU to be aware and take better care of yourself and your health, accomplish more in a shorter time. (It is not a coincidence that Steve Jobs did his best work after pancreatic cancer diagnosis. He knew his time limits and was pushed to the limits of his genius and creativity.)

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs are used in China alone or combined with other cutting age Western treatments for cancer and many other chronic ailments. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs and Homeopathy can be used as prevention in our genetic history (parents genes, life style.) It is a lot easier to prevent diseases and health risks then wait till it happens. That is what I started doing a long time ago. In our clinic we can do treatments based on patient's  family medical history. Ask us when you visit us.

The message is Celebrate Life, Live in the Present. Practice non Attachment.
As for me, after all these I decided to go on a well deserved vacation. I will talk to you later. Stay well.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR - Year of Wooden Sheep/Goat



Tree of Life Acupuncture
32 Union Square East, Suite #804, New York, NY 10003


HAPPY
CHINESE NEW YEAR!
  

Chinese New Year Sheep

Year of Wooden Sheep/Goat WoodSheepFemale woodSheep.

According to the theory of 5 elements in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine wood represents the liver. Liver does not like alcohol, toxins, or stress. But Sheep is also an earth animal, gravitating to stability, peace and harmony, so we should have a balanced year.

We all get a 2nd chance for a New Year resolution. Another reason to take a good look at our lives and make necessary adjustments for better health, prosperity and wellness. It's an opportunity to fine tune relationships with others and most of all YOURSELF.

As a frequent acupuncture and Chinese Medicine patient myself, (yes I needle myself) I use it to stay in peak shape and performance. Prevention is the best path to health and prosperity.

Acupuncture Energetics of the Kiss

HAPPY VALENTINES   Acupuncture Energetics of the Kiss 
Wishing couples great harmonious relationships and single

 people self love and happiness 

Kiss is the microcosm of the relationship
How do you kiss ?  French kiss ?  Parental (grand Ma) kiss ?
Friends (on the cheek) kiss ?

Kiss is an expression of a connection between two people. (emotions, passion and how you feel about that someone)

















Healthy Relationship = Healthier Life


So what happens when two people kiss like they mean in ? A rush of endorphins and dopamins goes to your blood stream and you get that "runner's high" drunk feeling.

We kiss with our lips, in acupuncture upper lip belongs to the stomach energy, the lower to the large intestine. (So I hope you are kissing someone appealing). If you use the tongue, then it belongs in Chinese Medicine to the Heart and Heart stores the Spirit.  So I suppose if you kiss without the tongue, then you do NOT put your heart and soul into it.

Microcosmic orbit
What also happens is the energy from Acupuncture meridians that runs in the midsection of the front of the body  (Ren Mai) and energy from the mid section of the back of the body (Du Mai) connect and create a microcosmic orbit and that is where real high begins.

It might also be a good idea to connect both of your hands to the kissing person and the one being kissed as it further strengthens the connection between people. That creates a powerful energetic bond that two people share.

So don't kiss like a grandma, kiss like you mean it.
If you do not have a partner this time, just give yourself a good pat on the shoulder and catch up later.

So remember, Kiss like you mean it, your physical and emotional health may depend on it and you may never have the one that got away.

Be Well
