Talking to myself...a snippet.

"Liu Wei Di Huang Wan."

"Tian Wan Bu Xin Dan."

"Zhi Bai Ba Wei Wan."

"Wow, you can speak CHINESE??!...So exotic!!!"

*lol.

my other sentiment TCM wise this week has been: "I love TCM morning noon and night!"

:-D

"Be Calm"

We had a scary prac exam and lots of people were packing it!!(with stress)....mostly cos they didn't study enough...

So for the ones who were so stressed I could feel their electricity I went and stuck my hand on their head to settle them.

It's a great trick my herbs teacher taught me which is fantastic for hyperactive little kids...it's cos there is a major point on the top of the head which settles the spirit...so yeah, there is a reason why adults like to pat kids on the head...

BRING IT ON!!!

There is this intractable strongly INTJ doctor intern we know who I always end up butting heads with cos he is very disrespectful of alternative therapies- the kind who dismisses TCM as "unscientific" load of crap...and all benefit is purely due to "placebo effect".

So anyway....as usually happens I say, TCM is something to be experienced...try it and then tell me if it is still crap...to which they always refuse.

In any case, fast forward some time later- doctor intern has suffered an emotional crisis, has matured, has more life experience under his belt...and now, he is open: he wants to give it a shot!
BRING IT ON!! :)

TCM is very good for emotional stagnation and blockage...just need to find time to arrange a meeting- will definitely post update after this encounter has happened :)

If you can steel yourself past the pain...

it sure is handy being able to acupuncture oneself!

I've been really exhausted and battling mucus congesting all in my head and chest for some time now...which has been clogging up my qi from flowing freely...so I kept wanting to just sleep and couldn't think with such a muggy head!

This has been disastrous for productivity with study and being able to really THINK.

So I had to resort to needling myself- a whole lot more difficult when self-done cos you are very aware and anticipatory of that moment of pain....

In any case I thought I'd needle myself then go take a nap since I was getting nowhere with my study...in any case it was so effective that I didn't actually need to take a nap and just whizzed right through to finish up that portion of study in a quarter of the allocated time- just cos my brain could suddenly work really efficiently again!!! COOL....

Very good for those with ADHD and tired all the time tendencies...

Okay, my stress hormones kicked in...

it just dawned on me that now's just about when I need to go into Lock Down Mode until the semester ends...I was just checking my schedule and realise that the tiny break that I did have is not even a break anymore cos I completely filled that too!!! arghhhhh head down I guess, no more slacking off...need to activate the Self Discipline and PRODUCTIVITY mode!!! And hopefully get very effective resting hours!

Herbal Dispensary at Home!

lol I went through all my herbs I have at home just then and realised I have a pretty sizeable collection- for certain conditions I could definitely just start making up little therapeutic or even just tasty teas...it was pretty fun writing a list of all my herbs...what a cool collection.

apart from that I am very excited cos I have a very definite direction of where I'm headed with all of this upon graduation...

I will be SO glad to get outta this damn city...although I will kinda regret not having the opportunity to be a tutor- that could have been fun...nurturing the newbies - I can still remember how hard first year was- such a culture shock and so much information and workload overload especially when I'd left my brain to go rusty from the workforce...
