I am an active senior competing in national competitions…train hard…and am often bruised up! Jipala took care of a knee issue…first visit made an improvement and looking forward to followups! I jammed a finger badly three days earlier playing with younger studs, and sure enough, Jipala fixed that too! I am impressed and recommend Jipala for help with anyone’s aches and pains” V.R
That deep knowing sense in our lower bellies, that knows the truth. But it has to have enough space in our crazy monkey minds to be heard and once heard it has to be obeyed.
Jipala has treated many members of my family spanning three generations. She is an excellent listener and practitioner and treats the whole person, paying attention to many details after a conversation and review at the beginning of each session. She is caring, skilled and intuitive and her treatment room and manner both reflect her appreciation and respect for the natural beauty of life. J.K
I was thinking that I would like to represent the essence of this time of year with a symbol. The next thing I knew, was an open book on my lap and The Goddess Lilith looking at me. She made it pretty clear that she was up for the job. She is a Sumero-Babylonian Goddess. The divine lady, often represented with the lower half of her body encompassed in flames. She is a wild, winged seer, full of hutzpah. She governs the birth, death and re-birth cycles, the transformation of energy. An owl is her attendant, she brings us the message… cast off the parts of the self that suppress and stand up to reclaim your power. Men, Women and all who occupy the gender spectrum, can relate to her strength and forceful nature.
Another amazing interview with Annick Magac. This one really gets to the heart of the matter. It is worth your time. We explore patterns of living and how we as humans operate in the world.
We had such a good time discussing acupuncture and living in this interview. Thank you Annick. I think this may have been the best interview, that I have ever done.
Totally Loving the sentiment of Transformation. Especially the trends of (inner) emotional imbalance into Revolution-al Action. It is about time, Baby. This is based on the work of Thea Elijah, Lonny Jarrett and a tiny bit of me. Transformation of The Spirit Energies- imbalance into action. SHEN/FIRE- Apathy into Spark- Sovereignty of the Heart directed action. HUN/WOOD- Anger into Vision- Constructive action. YI/EARTH- Worry into Integrity- Ecological action. PO/METAL- Sorrow into Virtue- Righteous action. ZHI/WATER- Fear into Wisdom- Forceful action.
The scent of Spring: smells like wet dirt, birds are loud and chirpy, the sun is stronger and there are signs of green life brewing at our feet. There is also this feeling, one of movement and an impending push forward. The season of Wood, growth and generated energy that transforms into Form. Some people rejoice here, “Ahh, I have been waiting for this and now I can breath and expand.” For others, “I want to stay in the quiet Winter stillness and hide there, do not push me.“ How do you respond to the beginning of Wood time?
“..because medicine always reflects cosmology, the values, beliefs and assumptions that a culture holds about the meaning of nature of life, the universe and being human.” – Thea Elijah So nothing, not even Science is absolute, everything can be re-written. All understanding is at the mercy of the inquisitor.
I had the pleasure of teaching a class on the Five elements to students and faculty at Hudson Valley Sudbury School. It was a great pleasure and lots of fun. Everyone learned a lot.
