The Marrying of Left & Right Brain

uncertainty.  One's life is filled with uncertainties, life itself is uncertain, the future of our planet is uncertain, in fact "there is nothing certain, but the uncertain."  For those of us living today, this is the first time we are having a collective feeling of uncertainty on a global level.  There are two ways to approach and react to uncertainty: one is to feel anxious, stressed, and panicked about the unknown, the other is to surrender to the uncertainty.  In times of great uncertainty such as the effects of Covid-17, one can feel as though on a roller coaster ride, surrendering for lengths of times, and feeling anxious the next. To be able to surrender to the uncertainty, to fall into it, to move and adapt with it, is the greatest goal.  connectivity.  I love the idea that larger connectivity is something that's being discussed in the quantum physics world.  The understanding of connectivity is left in the eye of the observer.  ...

I am going to be completely honest and start off by saying that I felt completely out of it during our first class together.  As interesting and stimulating the topic and conversations around 🕒time🕒, the transition into my new shelter-in-place space & diving back into the zoom-student mindset had my brain a bit foggy and lacking concentration. Since class I've been trying to wrap my head around having days that seem to last 'forever,' yet those days are submerged into a month that goes by in an 'instant.'  Since shelter-in-place, months have been flying by; but when I reflect on all that I've done and the memories I've created - there have been so many!  This year has felt incredibly fast too.  But then I think about all that I've learned in Chinese Medicine school (a lot), the new and incredibly impactful relationships I've made, the deepest feelings of grief I've felt in my lifetime... all in that same "fast" year.  What is it...

My decision to study acupuncture came from a Public Health & Community Health lens.  I was overjoyed to find a medicine that could provide holistic health at affordable rates and accessible to populations undeserved (if served at all) by our current Western healthcare system.  However, the deeper I dive into Chinese Medicine, the more it answers things & makes connections I didn't even know I was looking for.  This current semester has me feeling a BIT overwhelmed and like I'm in need of a 'break-up' talk with my family & friends - but I...
