Business time : Staying updated with DH + new comment system
Just a quick business post to keep you informed about developments on the site. As I’ve said elsewhere, we’re gearing up with the content production, including podcasts! If you read the last few posts, including one about acupuncture and structural integration, a couple of posts playing with enticingly symbolic interpretations of the five phase elements (wood and fire so far), and one looking into various ways of practicing Chinese medicine in the contemporary context, I think you’ll agree that good things are happening. That might lead you to consider how you can stay up to date with all of this conte...

Structure, Function, and Information Transfer: Chinese Medicine through the Eyes of Stuctural Integration
Author’s Note: What I’m about to present to you is my honest, educated opinion, informed by years of study and clinical practice. I am not an academic researcher, nor an accomplished master. Still, the ideas presented below have deepened and broadened my practice so profoundly, that I feel I would be remiss in not sharing and offering them for consideration to my peers. Also, what better forum to present these ideas than Chinese Medicine Central? I welcome constructive discussion on this topic though the comments thread for this entry, or at my email address cintain@chinesemedicinecentral.com. I hope you find i...

Deepest Health Podcast Episode 26 – New format + Social Media and Chinese medicine
In this episode of the Chinese Medicine Central podcast, it’s just me! I talk about refreshing the podcast, increasing the frequency, new topics and features, and so on. I then move into a 20 minute discussion of social media – especially Twitter – and why Chinese medicine practitioners should care about it. I really appreciate any comments you might have on this episode, particularly ideas for future show topics. Just scroll to the bottom of this article and add whatever you have to share! I also appreciate your five star reviews on iTunes – that’s what helps this podcast get noticed. The mor...

Flourishing in the wild heart of medicine : Fire
Water freezes, Wood spreads, and Fire? Fire explodes onto the scene in a blaze of glory, consuming all that’s gone before, dazzling us, then fading to ashes and leaving us blinking away retinal afterimages wondering what just happened. What did just happen? Someone probably got burnt. And it was a heck of a show. Fire ain’t like the other elements. It’s in a class of its own–an exclusive, volatile club of one. The rest of the five phases (a more apt translation of wu xing) are basically earthbound: Earth is an obvious case, but take the other three: Metal descends, cools, clarifies. There’s so...

Creating a container for true transformation – my next steps
In a recent article, I talked about some of the struggles (and triumphs) I’ve had in clinic. Those struggles have sometimes come because my knowledge and experience was insufficient – long hours of continuing education, poring over case files, and bothering the heck out of my teachers has helped resolve some of that. Other aspects of my struggle have had to do with factors far outside my control – a difficult economy causing stress that acupuncture could not help a patient overcome, for example. However, in contemplating my way forward, I have found that most of the problems I’ve encountered in clin...

Teaching Chinese Herbs – The Greatest Job On Earth
As you know, I have been teaching about Chinese herbs to second year students at NCNM since I graduated. I feel so lucky to have landed this job so early in my career. It kept me connected to my alma mater, while also forcing me to keep on top of my game with regards to knowing the herbs pretty well. But, what I didn’t really expect is that I’d discover such a love of teaching. That’s now old news, of course, but every year the love grows a little more. It grows partly because I get better at it, and increasing one’s skill level is a pleasurable process. But, honestly, the love deepens especially be...

Diving into the wild heart of medicine : Wood
My last post discussed relating to the elements not just as phases of movement and symbols of natural processes, but as living presences. But I didn’t go into much detail about what this might mean. What does it look like to engage with an element on a visceral level, to meet its being with your own? To encounter it not just with intellect but with body-mind-spirit-soul? This, the first of five planned posts on the 5 elements, focuses on Wood. As CM students and practitioners we’ve known about Wood since our first year of school: it resonates with springtime, with the liver, with the early morning; with the eas...
