Cheers all and hope your week was
productive and fun.
I had the most whirlwind weekend
ever. I flew into Kona on Friday night and did the whole family funeral
weekend gig in the place of my partner in crime. My Hawaiian/Japanese
in-laws are the nicest people in the world but I'm so glad to be home and
understand language again (being Hawaiian they all speak Pidgin all the time I
could only understand about two thirds of what was being said).
So I'm glad to be home but
seriously need some rest as I spent the entire weekend on the bad side of two
time zones (going to bed on Hawaii time and waking up on Pacific time). A
little time off from the grind is exactly what the acupuncturist ordered.
For more news, check out www.actcm.edu. It seems they
have had a burst of energy in recent times and flooded my inbox with tons of
news. More than I could print.
That being said if anyone else
has news good or bad send it along if you'd like it printed. My email is
editor@theacuprenuer.com and I'd
love to hear from you.

Greetings Dear Ones,
This is has been one hell of a week. It was a week of mountains,
valleys and missiles.
While on the one hand I managed to single-handedly screw up my schedule, got
a tooth pulled, and just felt like I was dragging my butt around, on the other
hand, my department chair sat in on my class at Pacific School of Oriental
Medicine and told the COO I was a treasure.
I checked in on a former client who told me how much better she is doing and
that people are telling her she is glowing, and on and on it goes...
During the ups and downs (perception only) it is the best opportunity to
watch and learn from the habits of the mind.
It is so easy to become discouraged (trust me I know) and no amount of
positive thinking is going to change it. That is like putting a clean
table cloth on top of a dirty table or wearing clean clothes and not washing
yourself.
When this is happening, you must watch your mind and challenge your
thoughts.
And sometimes just watch a video and remember. In all this tumult a
friend sent this video...I had seen the couple before on Korean TV, and it
reminded me that no matter what, any and all of the limitations we have are
self-imposed.
"Argue for your limitations and they're yours." ~
Richard Bach
"The complementary movement towards
divine love is growth in humility which is the
acceptence of the reality about ourselves, our own weakness and
limitations." ~ Thomas Keating
"Life has no
limitations, except the ones you make." ~ Les Brown
"It's impossible for you to conceive how far up is,
except for the limitations of your own mind." ~ Pat Ryan
[back to top] Who
else wants to know how to fill their practice by UTILIZING their spiritual values instead of
compromising them?
Have you ever thought to yourself,
"This has to be easier, it can't be this hard!"
Well you are not alone, there are thousands of practitioners
out there who feel the same way you do and are struggling with the same
challenges you are!
And that is why I wrote this book - to help you take
the guesswork out of filling your practice and offer you a step-by-step method
for filling it based on what is important to you with quality patients and
clients.

Acupuncture's Evil Twin: The Dim Mak Death Touch - Enter the
Dragon was his last completed film. Six days after it was released, Bruce Lee,
one of the biggest icons of martial arts cinema died a sudden and mysterious
death. But was he the victim of the legendary dim mak touch of death as many of
his avid fans have claimed? Known in Cantonese as dim mak and in Japanese as
kyusho jitsu, the touch of death is legendary among martial arts nuts. The idea
behind the death touch is somewhat mysterious: apparently there are several
"meridians" or body lines where "chi" or energy flows through.
East Meets West in Army Mental Therapy - When it comes to how
the Army treats its war-stressed Soldiers, it has become a combination of old
and new, East and West. Gone are the days of padded couches and Freudian
questioning. Instead, the Army is using the ancient practices of yoga and
acupuncture -- as well as techie solutions like video games -- to help its
Soldiers and their families deal with mental health
issues.
Acupuncture Reduces Pain And Dysfunction In Head And Neck Cancer
Patients After Neck Dissection - New data from a randomized, controlled
trial found that acupuncture provided significant reductions in pain,

Medical Oncology Service, and Barrie Cassileth, PhD, Chief of the Integrative
Medicine Service, at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). Dr. Pfister
presented the findings May 30 at the annual meeting of the American Society for
Clinical Oncology.

It's Time the City Showed It Cared for Volunteers - LIVERPOOL
has been at the forefront of the development of pioneering philanthropic
institutions. We have the first Royal School for the Blind, first Tropical
School of Medicine and following in the footsteps of such fantastic institutions
is Dare To Care. DTC has been delivering holistic therapies and developing
alternative methods of improving health in Liverpool for more than 15
years. Complementary healthcare, and in particular auricular (ear)
acupuncture, has become fashionable during the last decade, but only for those
who can afford to pay for it. Roman Abramovich, Cherie Blair and many more
of the rich and famous pay through the nose to benefit from this ancient form of
Chinese medicine. Princess Diana was also a strong believer in the
benefits of the treatment. Since the 1990s, Dare To Care has been providing free
acupuncture, reflexology and aromatherapy treatments to the poorest people in
the city.
