LI 5: Powerful

The large intestine channel is diverse and interesting and can help with ghosts!

I was just revising some point location and I found the following about Large Intestine 5:
Dispels Wind Heat
Indicated for headaches, redness, pain and swelling of the eye, toothache, sore throat and pain of the wrist.
Also it's a point used to aide in quitting smoking.
But used with BL61 and LI7 it's great if you're seeing ghosts...

Magnolia Healing Centre: Acupuncture Clinic

I thought it would be nice to show you around Magnolia House healing centre in Rose Bay, NSW. It's a church building, as you can see from the pictures, and the congregation has moved on. The space is now a dynamic healing centre and includes music, art therapy, counseling and also where I come in: acupuncture.

Working inside a church is really is a great privilege and I love it! There is such a sense of calm respect in there. It really is a very beautiful experience. Furthermore I am doing community treatments here and the feeling behind doing that is different. It's so much more relaxed than acupuncture as a business. I am surrounded by great people and patients know that you are doing them a favour with reduced cost treatments and the effort you put in. I found it very humbling and just feels good!

Soon the main hall will develop into a communal community acupuncture space. I can imagine patients getting an acupuncture treatment while they chat to each other, someone plays their favourite instrument and at any moment there will be a cup of tea, ready. Home bake cake and the picture is perfect!!

Outside the front of the church

Here is a labyrinth that was used for the open day a while back near winter solstice

 Here's me helping paint a labyrinth beforehand!

Ross Penman the Pin Man!

Ross Penman!

I thought I would update you on this elusive and popular practitioner! I have bumped into so many Sydneysiders who have had a treatment from him, or know vaguely of him. In my instance I got treatments from him for ages which helped. After a bit of time I invited him to do a talk at UTS for the Chinese Medicine Society which took forever to organise! Anyway a few people saw him and it was great of him to give us more of an insight.

Just recently I saw on the interwebs he is doing some courses and wrote some information up about himself and what he does.

Here’s the link for those interested:

In between patients

It's been cold here in Sydney! When I say cold it means having to wear a jumper instead of just of t-shirt..! But it is officially winter and here I am with a large latte in a great bookshop called Gertrude and Alice, on Hall Street in Bondi. Basically it's a bookshop, but I think they sell more lattes to be honest with you! Great place to study, especially if you can get the couch. I found a copy of the Barefoot Doctors Manual too. This book looks great but I find is not as helpful as it looks! What do you think of it?

Yes, I have checked out email vouchers and now I am one! If you would like to experience acupuncture, or if you cannot resist a bargain, grab this while you can! It won't last for long and I am judging the responses to see what it's like.

Either way $29 for acupuncture is an amazing deal!!

Have a great day,

Damien
