Welcome new members !! I am back from India and will be announcing the online NS regulation workshop soon and free breathwork sessions too.

Hi all. I had to rush to India cause my father had a health issue. Things are settling down now and so I wanted to update yall. This event had forced me to confront some of my deepest fears and childhood traumas. I broke down multiple times. My practices did help me integrate and listen to my body. I feel I've released and processed stuff which was buried so deep. And am feeling more motivated than ever to hold more workshops and start offering one on one somatic healing and a virtual container (1-3 months) to share what I've learned and what helped me heal. Thank you for your support, prayers and patience. Chaand

Ok, so insomnia is complicated. There are many different types of insomnia according to TCM. And yes, herbs can help, and I will make a separate post on that. But for now, want to share some easy accu points that folks can get started with. Try them for a few minutes and you will feel relaxed. Share your experiences !! - Acupressure on Anmian, HT7, KD1, SP6 - Nightmares: Acupressure on LI11 (pinch up skin a few times a day, 3 times for 10 seconds) https://vimeo.com/398990761?fbclid=IwAR3xSUVncpe93gT3Qkp3DYnQ5bunxmFoRSYROz7E6y1rB0fmSEqfgsyjDb8

Greetings new members. I will be hosting a virtual workshop soon on Nervous system harmonisation/regulation (basics of polyvagal theory). The workshop is intended to be educational meaning I will be yapping a bit, but it involves some immersive exercises to sort of "dive a little deep", just a bit. We will end with a QnA. And maybe some breathwork tips. I believe some of these fundamentals will be key for those with complex chronic illnesses such as long covid, fibromylagia, ME/CFS, POTS, chronic lymes etc. I would like to get an idea of those who are interested from this group. (fee will sliding scale 5-20$) Those who cannot afford can dm me seperately.

Hey all. We are officially entering fall. The Metal element acc to traditional Chinese medicine. The main organs involved are the Lung and Large Intestine. The main emotion represented is grief. I met Alaine Duncan a few years ago during the initial stages of my healing recovery, and brought her book. She writes, "The Metal Element is associated with autumn and the dying of the vitality of the growing season. The air has left late summer’s humidity behind and has become dry, light, and clear. Trees express their full beauty before their leaves make their descent. On the ground, the leaves will now rot and enrich the next growing season by bringing precious trace minerals into the soil. Falling acorns embody rest as both the first and last step of the growing season. The loss of light is tangible. Grief is in the air." This is a good time to get back to a breathing practice if you have not been. As the book says, "The Lungs are one of the two organ systems corresponding with the Metal. They serve life by receiving and dispersing the “pure qi of the heavens” to every dimension of our body, mind and spirit. They help us find inspiration and a fresh breath to start anew after a loss. I am also attaching a video of one of my fav teachers Mimi Kuo-Deemer sharing a metal element Qi Gong practice. How are you feeling as fall approaches? or rather what are you feeling? What are you holding? And what are you ready to let go? Would be great to hear from you all. pic is from: The Tao of Trauma by Alaine D. Duncan with Kathy L. Kain
