There is a condition in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine when extreme Yang turns into extreme Yin and vice versa extreme Yin turns into extreme Yang.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom”

Has it happened to you when you can no longer take it, you make an extreme move and change things around. Whether it's relationship, career, or just life's direction.  

When your tolerance reaches its peak, then you take a step in the right and opposite direction to remedy the situation your in, that is extreme Yang turning into extreme Yin.

It's like getting the air out of an overinflated balloon.

Or the opposite is true when a mundane is no longer an option and you take a leap of faith and take a risk or a chance on something or someone. That is extreme Yin turning into Yang.

It happens and happened to me all the time in the past. When you can no longer accept the current or future prospects, you take a leap of faith and start something new in an opposite direction, polarity or dynamics.

If the stress and pressure of the old career were not strong enough, I would never make the move to drop everything and go to Hawaii to become an NYC acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine Practitioner with now 25 years of experience!  

Later in Life, I made another great decision an investment into electromagnetic medicine and  Bioresonance and biofeedback medical machines and I never looked back (but that is another story for another time).

I am an acupuncturist in NYC, and before I entered acupuncture profession I was a computer programmer in of the largest New York City Firms. 

It took me a long time to make the switch. What helped me was that first I was afraid of making the move fearing the uncertainties and lack of income, but then the prospect of doing nothing became scarier and I made the move.

The fact that my whole life would flash in front of my eyes and there would be this defining moment where a change or great progress could have been made, nothing was done, and now my life is nearing the end, scared me more than doing the unknown.

The deeper moral of this story is that in life we are given opportunities to make decisions that will either reward or hung us for the rest of our lives. (almost anything is fixable though).

If I never took a chance to leave my corporate job and become a licensed acupuncturist, then my life would be not as rewarding as it is now. I am sure a lot of readers had to make similar decisions.

The known became scarier than the unknown.

“when the risk of remaining tight in a bud was more painful than the risk to blossom” people explode into action just like a cork of well-shaken champagne takes off into the air.

Salute to those who took the action and improved and got burnt trying to grow and reach greatness!

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine theory of five elements state that certain colors correspond to certain organs in acupuncture meridian energetic pathways.

Everyone knows that red wine is good for the heart. In acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the red color corresponds to the heart.

As I was sitting at the dinner table on my vacation in Vienna thinking of ordering the red wine, most of my friends were ordering white wine. As I gave in to drinking the white wine, I  felt I was not getting the medicinal benefits. 

The Austrian wine was absolutely amazing, but the acupuncture practitioner in me wanted the health benefits. Then I had an epiphany, the white color correspons to the Lungs and Large intestine in acupuncture and herbal medicine, so it's got to be good for the lungs.  I was convinced. 

After getting home to New York I googled "white wine for lungs" and I was absolutely amazed that sure enough there was tons of scientific research linking white wine varieties to improving the Lungs and those researchers are not even acupuncturists, great news or what?

* See the study link at the bottom

Reserchers at the University of Buffalo did the study. It was done on 1,555 people from New York. This reaearch was presented at the American Thoracic Society.

So Red or  White whine either way, when you drink in moderation your body benefits.

The big question is how did Ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine Herbalists and Acupuncturists know about it? A lot of Chinese Herbal Medicine is made with wine.

Now isn't it much better than 'the bitter pill' of Western Medicine? It was a joke and not  a  medical advice.  Please see your MD regarding your drinking choices and medical condition, cause I do not want to be sued, cheers!
