A 1st book by one of my favorite heroes DrMelissa Carr Mikei is generously giving copies for free to those signing up http://www.mikei.ca/en/special_offer.php Or wait for it to come out =) I'll be hosting some in my clinic too ... Hang in there peops! What a ride we are on! Happy Fall Equinox (yesterday) so present today.

The Public Service Health Care Plan is proposing that acupuncture performed is covered by MDs and not acupuncturists. I have over 3000 hours of training when I went to Chinese medicine school and did you know an MD can do a weekend course learning Acupuncture and perform acupuncture on patients? Please consider signing this if you are in Canada.

Happy Fall Equinox

Thank you for the share Fay Meling Pao "Thanks for stating this so well Christine Lang For those who may not know the deep history of acupuncture in the west, Tupac’s stepfather, Dr Mutulu Shakur and the Black Panthers were integral in starting acupuncture addictions clinics in black communities back in the 70’s. Bringing affordable, effective care to underserved populations in need. Kinda sounds like what the world needs right now... #muchlove #onelove #blacklivesmatter

Hola! Yesterday was my first day of Phase 2 soft opening!... like all of us, the clinic is undergoing some changes. My new schedule: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 2pm - 7pm New protocols: posted on my website booking page and a picture of Coles notes here. ... As well be doing COVID-19 screenings shortly before appointments, last minute openings may come up! Tomorrow! Wed May 21 I have a 70min at 2pm or a 40min at 230pm that just opened up due to such screenings. Please message me or book online if you would like to come in. www.acudelphine.com Im very sorry I am not accepting new patients at this time, so that I may prioritize the return and care of my current patients. However if the appointment is still open tomorrow I will contact those of you on my waiting list . Stay safe and healthy! One love, much love, Delphine

Hola!!! After the Provincial announcements yesterday, it looks as though non-emergency Acupuncture may be included in Phase 2, which may begin May 19 2020! This is very exciting and also brings forth the importance of navigating this temporary new normal in a safe and effective manner. If you are looking to return to Acupuncture treatment with me or Sally, please take note of our announcements on our on line booking. I hope you are all well and safe and healthy. And I'm SO ...looking forward to being able to help again! https://book.click4time.com/acupuncturebydelphine/book/step1

We have so many questions and a remarkable opportunity to be present in it all. ... Anywho, I'm going on a tangent! So many to choose from ... #happy420 ... I came here to share my one of my dear mentors offers in these times. She DrMelissa Carr is one of the amazing practitioners offering help and guidance on line these days. Mothers Day is coming up fast and many or most?! Of us won't be able to see our mom. I just requested the #fullmompackage ...cuz it's kinda amazing!

More on COVID-19 ... ... ooph what a time we are all going through!!! My thoughts are all over the map as I am not one to normally get swept up in media storms... however, this one has my attention! I've kept pretty quiet about this situation thus far, not knowing exactly what to say or how to handle it. The big question for me professionally at this time is "to stay open or to close"? ... ... I have a small clinic with 2 treatment rooms and one practitioner in the space at a time. Serendipitously, I had already booked this week off for my kid's first week of spring break. I am not booked to be back in the clinic until Saturday and am taking these few days to monitor the situation. I am torn between being available to provide our community with support through these challenging times and not wanting to be a possible danger to my patients. I take such pride in knowing that I am helping, and at this point it is hard to know if continuing services (for those who do not feel they have been exposed) or shutting down completely is what is best for our community.... In the meantime, I'm practicing social isolation, choosing only nature, home and selective supply shopping in hopes to keep myself from being a possible vector... I'm on stand by and checking for recommendations from our Provicial Health Ministry and the CTCMA, my regulatory College here in BC. With much love I am thinking of you all and sending out much love. In this time I hope we can all benefit from slowing down and spending time in nature. I keep thinking about how much our dear Earth is benefiting from all of this slow down, and am cherishing the beautiful stories of our communities helping each other out. May we continue to check in on each other and help out our vulnerable neighbours when possible. Indeed these are remarkable times!

I just wanted to write a moment in consideration of all of you who have trusted me to help facilitate your healing over the last 11 years! April marked my 11 year Acupuncture Anniversary. This is a significant number in cycles and I marvel at the significance of not being able to work right now. Sometimes a break from our passion can help us become better at it. This is my hopes and intentions for the future of my Acupuncture journey with you when we are safe to meet again! ...This is such an amazing time we are in. While I feel and love many of the gifts of this COVID-19 shut down time, I have grieved a lot over the past few weeks. During this time it has been very difficult to stay away from the clinic, knowing that Im being more helpful by not working at this time. Man my ego danced and brawled with that some fiercely! And I think of us all in the uncertainties of our economic climate of the future. And I just want to reiterate my commitment to Karma Care (click link below if you arent familiar with this program which has been in place since the opening of my little private clinic in 2017.) I stand by this firm belief that money should not determine access to health care. That our world is a better place when we all take care of each other. If you have lost your job and benefits, please dont worry about losing my support! We will always figure out a rate that works for you. ~~~ if you find yourself with more than you need and would like to help support me to help others, i humbly ask that you kindly make an etransfer donation to the Karma Care pool fund . #onelove #muchlove #staysafeandhealthy [email protected] #KarmaCare http://www.acudelphine.com/karma-care

Poke her face. Get it right.

In traditional Chinese medicine we understand these emotions to be so closely intertwined with the anger residing in the liver and sitting below the lungs (where the grief) resides and the anxiety in the center of it all in our heart. It is so important to allow ourselves to feel our emotions. All too often we run circles in a state of fight or flight, stuffing our feelings away until they have no more pockets to hide in. If youre feeling stuck in a state of frustration a re...ally effective way to help move that is to go for a walk in nature and breathe consciously. The walking will help move the frustration so that you can feel a bit more creative about your situation and the breathing will help move the grief. If tears come, allow them to flow, if anger comes, allow yourself to scream,... another good trick is to put your thoughts into stones and chuck them into water. If you feel ridiculous doing it, even better allow a big crazy laugh out because that laughter helps relive the anxiety. Hence my favorite homework to give my patient is #breathe, #nature, and #fun Xoxo have a beautiful day! See more
