Sey Om Yoga

This pic came up for me over the weekend. A yoga teacher training that begin my love affair with Chinese medicine since 2018. The tracing of the meridians or channels awoken something very deep and primal in me that made me jump into rabbit hole of learning and begun this 4 year journey in my Doctoral program of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine. I was very lucky to have made many friends along the way is one of the very special one who has a spirit of a unbridled horse and show me that anything is possible. Miss you my dear friend.

Someone twisted their ankle, made a poultice with ginger as based, sprinkle some cayenne and cinnamon to make this simple sprain poultice. I remember this is something my mom did for me when I was little.

2 hours after application, easier on the feet. Able to put weight on that ankle.

I could also put honghua/ safflower but I don't readily have that in my apothecary.

There is no better reason to celebrate then to celebrate for no good reason. A good time a great crowd and amazing food. For an adult party even my kids said they had a great time. They were super helpful staking up the lights and cleaning up before the party. I am truly blessed to have friends and kids who are always supportive when you don't even think you need support. Love y'all. Shout out to .zulueta for being a wonderful buddy and helped pull me through this term. Thank you.❤️ 🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤 🌈

Autumn in NYC....

Getting my Baptism from nature.... Renewal and joy from simple pleasures....

Singapore with the kids are always delightful and full of laughter with their various aunties (GuGu in Chinese) and their cousin (biao mei).
They love Singaporean food and their usuals are kaya toast and banana balls....

Practicing techniques that most find uncomfortable. This points has been indicated for simple discomfort such as itch or excessive production of tears but it has been helpful for myopia, color blindness, atrophy of the optic nerves glaucoma, conjunctivitis..... There are just so much more to uncover with Chinese medicine.

My crazy silly amazing family in Singapore. It is always around food and just simple funs but that's all that is important for me. The In car KTV was a little OTT but it was good fun. Until the next session ladies Gaga.

Mi corazón..❤️

One of the few simple life things.... Rolling around on the grass, random photos of the kids and just the company of humans best friend....

Staying still is one of my biggest lesson for myself this year. I am not trying to distract myself with new things, I am staying interested in what I have been for the last 6 years- Chinese medicine, and diving deeper and with more certainty that this is what I am meant to do.

I am grateful for my time with these duo... Even when it is not easy and when it is uncomfortable.

These two babies of mine... Everything that I am doing is for them...

Needed a reset this morning after a month of mid terms and exams. No, not quite finished yet.... Still loving every minute of it despite the many hurdles I have to jump through... I have survived, bagged my first A in Herbology 2 and moving on to the other finals that is coming up. I am proud of myself.

Consistency is key for Chinese medicine, sowing the seeds so I can reap the rewards later.
