I just realised I'm starting to collate a pretty sizeable collection now...I have a stock of at least 50 raw herbs and 20 patents...lol and that's just for my self use!
I think I have enough to start dispensing though *lol.

It's looking good...
did 4 treatments today- all very successful...actually the first patient said straight after treatment: "do you practice privately at all?"
*gushes with pride inside* ;)

So Busy...
it's NUTS! and it's especially nuts considering how much time I'm spending recreationally...I guess it is just proportionate to counterbalace ill-effects of elevated stress levels- in any case...between all of it I'm not getting a whole lot of sleep or rest here(!)

Searing Pain...
This tooth/jaw pain is really quite crippling- it is so intense the pain is overwhelming...so THANK GOD for my needles...it takes quite a bit in order to jab them in self...but thank god I did cos now my brain can actually do what it needs to do without being incapacitated and overwhelmed by pain sensation...
Heard of so many cases of really horrible dental pain lately- I think we trust dentists and doctors too freely...really they can cause a lot of health problems...that is why I like TCM...it is so gentle and effective working with your body...you really don't get these massive negative consequences...no matter how bad the practitioner is...at the worst you just don't get much better but at least you don't get...WORSE! :-p

When all you wanna do is...
sleep or else cry in despair...go eat chocolate! ;)
Then turn up the music real loud...
and somehow, you get a second wind...
to keep climbing up over the mountain, despite it being all misty, cold and icy and wet and slippery.

Intuitive Healer
I've heard this phrase thrown around a bit...I'd have to say I claim it too!
Just cos I realise in an academic context I suck! And I'm SO GLAD I don't have to be an academic!
That's cos I realised, a lot of what I do, is very intuitive. Hence if you try and get me to explain or articulate, suddenly my brain hurts...cos really when I practice I sort of almost bypass that bit which = brain or logic. I'm sure that foundation knowledge factors in, but when I choose points for example, a large part of the determination occurs past the level of conscious thought.
Best reason I can always give for "why this and not that?"
Just cos I felt like it :)
Apart from that, I'm freakin' exhausted.

TCM: It's in my blood!
This is my conspiracy theory. I've just always seemed to have this knack for TCM that sort of defies logic. I put it down to my "other" kind of ability possibly a skill something along the lines of "intuition" plus "healing hands". In any case it's just like this latent power I always had that once I discovered TCM it was the key that fit the lock...
Had amazing success with a rather complex presentation today-the immediate results and feedback I got was amazing- my favourite kind of puzzle- eg complex presentation manifesting as a multitude of symptoms of all different systems. No kidding the patient reported relief and improvement of pretty well all her symptoms which was about 7 different things. Very encouraging. Rarely do I get the chance to treat such interesting cases cos for the most part everybody around is really very healthy.
In any case I started wondering about this seeming "gift" of mine...and I really, really believe it's cos of this....TCM is in my blood!!! It turns out my father's grandfather was actually a highly respected Western/Eastern doctor!!! And several of us have noticed that these things do really seem to run in families!!!

Seriously, if it weren't for TCM I'd be soooo shit bored!
Cos everything else especially everybody else by comparison seems so boring...(the highlight of interesting people is definitely still through TCM the one or two golden oldies that have fascinating life stories...)
I remember one particularly boring moment stuck with a whole bunch of young girls I had absolutely nothing to converse with about...with time to kill...so I started taking their pulses and giving them "Readings" lol...a guaranteed roll eyes into back of head episode of boredom... salvaged! Everybody entertained ;)
