What acupuncture treats

View this post on Instagram

What can acupuncture treat?⁠ .⁠ Chinese medicine is a holistic art + science that "nourishes life" (養身) by treating the whole person, and addressing imbalance before it erupts into illness. Treatments may include acupuncture, herbs, bodywork, lifestyle changes, and more.⁠ .⁠ Diverse treatments from ancient China are still applicable today to address NOT JUST PAIN, but also emotional, neurological, reproductive, digestive, respiratory, pediatric, cardiovascular, endocrine, skin, addictions, and other systems/ conditions.⁠ .⁠ Please join us TODAY at @aumvibe for Community Acupuncture at 7 PM, and/ or book a private appointment with me for acupuncture, herbs/ yoga consultation, and a thorough health assessment.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #acupuncture #herbs #yoga #venturaacupuncture #venturayoga #herbalist #selfcare #ventura #ojai #oxnard #santabarbara #california #ojaiyoga #ojaiacupuncture #visitventura #chinesemedicine #naturalhealth #wild #creative #spirit #wintersolstice #solsticecelebration #ritual #wildhealth #holistichealth #chinesecalligraphy #art #creativehealth #joy #養身

What's Community Acupuncture?

View this post on Instagram

What's community acupuncture?⁠ .⁠ We all experience joy, anger, grief, pain, and more. Community acupuncture allows us to experience acupuncture lying/ sitting alongside fellow humans having a human experience. We are not alone. The experience may be profound or mundane. We experience our own journey, while sharing it with others in the same space, with or without words.⁠ .⁠ Community Acupuncture may be themed, or an open clinic.⁠ .⁠ Friday's Solstice Community Acupuncture is focused on rest and rejuvenation. Come in, get comfortable, and rest in shavasana as we journey forth.⁠ .⁠ An "open clinic," like upcoming monthly Acupuncture Happy Hour, includes a brief intake to assess your chief concern, then rolling treatments.⁠ .⁠ Happy Winter Solstice, beauty. Please join us for Solstice Community Acupuncture at @aumvibe in downtown Ventura THIS FRIDAY!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #acupuncture #herbs #yoga #venturaacupuncture #venturayoga #yogaeveryday #herbalist #holistichealth #ventura #ojai #california #ojaiyoga #ojaiacupuncture #visitventura #downtownventura #chinesemedicine #naturalhealth #wilderness #creativity #spirit #communityacupuncture #acupuncturewithfriends #venturacommunityacupuncture #community #venturacommunity #reachout

Nonviolent Communication

Nonviolent Communication is a powerful way of communicating, when words are difficult to form. As we close 2019 and spend times with our families in these turbulent political times, while clearly expressing both our deep joy as well as our deep discomfort, this may be a helpful practice.

The simple four-part process of Nonviolent Communication states:
1. Observations
2. Feelings
3. Needs 
4. Requests 

• See this pdf for more information. 
• Read Marshall Rosenberg's book for more details on the full process.
