Dear Patient,
“I want to build up my immune system before I travel”
“I want my back to feel better in time for an upcoming big race”
“I want to have a baby before I turn 40”
So often our health goals are attached to a date on the calendar. But we have to remember that time is a human invention. Healing unfolds under the guidance of the body’s own inner wisdom, not according to a deadline we impose.
It can seem like the body cares nothing for our plans and goals, our hopes and dreams. But the body doesn’t constrain itself with a schedule. When we try to force an agenda, we may end up doing more harm than good. Sometimes, we simply must step back, have faith, and allow healing to happen according to its own mysterious timeline.
Love and gratitude,
Your Acupuncturist
