by

‘Tis the season of giving thanks for what we have received this year, thankfulness for our family and friends, and most importantly our health. it has been a wonderful year full of great weather moments and sad global experiences. All of which causes us to pause an d think about how truly blessed we are living the lives we are living. So while you are at the table, about to enjoy the food that has thoughtfully been prepared for you, take a moment and say thank you out loud. Some may look up and wonder what you are doing but hopefully everyone will join you in a simple thank you. And please remember that the practitioners at the Marlborough Wellness Center wish you and your families the best of the holiday season, full of prosperity and good health!

PS: If you feel that food coma come on after you devoured the largest amount of turkey ever, call us because we have the perfect remedy for it…Shan Zha wafers! Little wafer candies that aid in the digestion of fats and lower blood pressure (a side effect for some when family is in town)!

Acupuncture and Gratitude: Happiness From Within

So is it possible to find happiness from within and feel grateful? I know I have contemplated and meditated on the concept of this many times while many gurus and teachers tell us that that is where it all comes from. But we are amidst mixed messages when our modern society seems to hold in high regard the opposite, the tangible vs the intangible. And honestly, where does acupuncture fit into all of this?

Acupuncture is a thousands of years old ancient art and medicine that can help free any blockages in the human body which can cause dis-ease, especially the meridians that correspond with our spirit. For you see, Chinese Medicine does not separate the body and the spirit. They are one just as we should be. When the body experiences acupuncture, the energy begins to move back into alignment, a natural homeostasis. This is where old memories and injuries are revisited and resolved. Pain is decreased if not erased and the mind finds a sense of awareness without being bogged down by the excess. It is here that you can find the happiness within. Gratitude can unlock the fullness of life with the subtle assistance of acupuncture.

So if you find yourself struggling through your day with uneasiness or discomfort, remember that there are options out there to help you find the happiness inside you. Or by just starting with creating a gratitude journal or saying thank you more frequently, you will notice a positive shift within.

As Neale Donald Walsh once said, “The struggle ends when gratitude begins.”
