 From The Editor
From the Editor:
Cheers All and hope you're
looking back on a great week and forward to a fantastic weekend. I do have
to apologize for the short news this week but it seems that my computer is dying
slowly but surely. No Microsoft Office programs will even deign to start
up for me and of course I waited until the last moment to get my work
done. My bad. This also means that if you've sent me an email
recently, I'm not up-to-date there either. Again I apologize and figure
once I can cure my poor old grumpy laptop to start working again (the blue
screen of death is about to give me an anuerism) I will get to everything first
thing.
But speaking of not working I do
have to ask some professional advice...I mean, what's the point of being an
editor of a community newsletter for a bunch of healers if you don't take
advantage once in a while of their good graces and extensive knowledge? I
got my eyes checked recently - just a routine checkup since having Lasik 4-5
years ago - and found that if I filled the prescription the doc gave me it would
be purely for vanity's sake since the prescription was for a minimal dosage so
to speak. But that doesn't tell me why I can't seem to aim anymore.
I noticed this today on the golf course - I couldn't get my teed up ball behind
the markers. I just couldn't judge that distance and you can't imagine
what it does to my putting. Thank goodness I'm still a beginner (a hacker
instead of a golfer) and am allowed to be slow and bad. :) But I know I
can do better and was slightly disturbed this morning. Though it might
also explain why I need new tires being a horrible judge of distance when it
comes to curbs. So if you have any advice for this poor chicklet who's
losing her depth perception please send it on.
Have a great one!!

"It is better to take many

forward
only to stumble backward."
~ Old Chinese Proverb
Greetings Dear Ones,
We are almost at capacity!
If you have not yet signed up for this year's GET YOUR YEAR IN GEAR you may miss
out!
People ask me every year: "How do you do it?"
How do you have a full coaching practice, a full hypnotherapy
practice, teach at Pacific School of Oriental Medicine, work at Friends In Deed,
write books, write articles, exercise, take time off (12 weeks a year), do
workshops, give talks, have a social life, have an intimate relationship,
etc...etc...??
Well, it does not happen by accident and I certainly don't do it
all by myself.
There is an old saying - when you fail to plan, you
plan to fail - and for much of my adult professional life I lived that
way. I was stressed out, overworked, underpaid and getting more and more
resentful and discouraged every day. I know, sounds like an old "I
love Lucy" episode, but it was true.
I really did not have enough money, enough time, and had no clue
how to utilize and leverage the four resources.
One of my coaches turned me on to a number of different strategies
for managing my life and my work and from that came the "Get Your Year In Gear Program".
In today's tumultuous times, work/life balance is harder
than ever. Each and every day we are faced with change at the speed of light,
and these changes have an impact on all of us.
With preparation, planning and robust systems in place, you can
have the work/life balance you have always wanted.
So don't just sit there. Take the action that
will provide payoffs both in the present and in the future!
Click here for the Get Your Year in Gear Program...I look
forward to seeing you there!
Very best,
Dr. E

Quotes to
Inspire
"Plan for what is difficult while it is easy,
do what is
great while it is small.
The difficult things in this world must be done
while they are easy,
the greatest things in the world must be done while
they are still small.
For this reason sages never do what is great, and this
is why they achieve greatness."
~ Sun Tzu
"Would you tell me
which way I ought to go from here?" asked Alice.
"That depends a good deal on
where you want to get," said the Cat.
"I really don't care where" replied
Alice.
"Then it doesn't much matter which way you go," said the
Cat.
~ Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
"If you don't have a plan for yourself,
you'll be part of someone else's."
~ American
Proverb
"You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going,
because you might not get there."
~ Yogi

News of Interest!
Patients Stick With Acupuncturist - When Babs Nappier first
entered the Fang Acupuncture Clinic in 1997 and met clinic owner Chaohua Fang,
she had no idea what to expect. Nappier had painful back and knee issues, carpal
tunnel syndrome, and issues with her weight. The pain was so severe that she was
barely able to stand up on her own, but she did not want to be dependent on
prescription painkillers. Nappier had heard of acupuncture, a Chinese medicine
technique of inserting needles into specific points in the body to help relieve
pain and other symptoms and decided it was worth a try. "I dislike pain pills,"
Nappier said. "... I decided I had heard so much about acupuncture that I'm
going to bite the bullet and try it." She found that the needles were not
painful, and the treatments made her feel better. More than that, Nappier said
she was impressed by Fang's caring bedside manner. She was pleased enough that
she kept coming back for the next 11 years.
Acupuncture can help patients with pain control - T.J. Gan,
M.D., an anesthesiologist at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C.,
talks about acupuncture to treat postoperative pain.

Daoist Traditions school congratulates 2008 graduates - Daoist
Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts congratulates its second graduating
class. Each student has earned a master-level diploma in the field of "oriental
medicine," including instruction on topics such as chinese medicine theory,
herbal medicine, acupuncture and Western medicine. Of the school's eight 2008
graduates, seven have already passed the national
examinations.
Pinpoint Healing: Community Acupuncture in Portland - I was
sitting at a round, white linen-clothed table with about seven other wedding
guests when I finally twisted the conversation to accommodate my research needs
(nothing wrong with building resources). Now this was a fairly lively bunch of
20- and 30-somethings who were all adventurous, maybe even experimental (some
more than others, I might add), and more or less driven by healthy lifestyles.
So I was quite surprised to find that, of the eight of us, only one had
experienced acupuncture. One! And that was in Korea. Perhaps more shocking was
this man's inability to grasp what I meant when I asked if he'd ever experienced
community acupuncture. He looked at me, outright confused. "Opposed to what?" he
asked. "Why on God's green earth would you need your own room?"
