New Moon in Leo

The New Moon on August 11th will find itself in the constellation of Leo, and here at Mend we acknowledge the impact that changes in our environment can have on our physical and emotional functioning.  We have begun to see an influx of patients ready to initiate changes surrounding back/neck pain, mental health concerns, anxiety, insomnia, and fluctuations in body temperature.  As well as patients with heart conditions, palpitations, arrhythmia, fibrillation, and complications from arterial disease issues along what we acupuncturists known as the Heart channel of the body.  New moon energy also has a way of making conditions that have lain dormant and unresolved the top priority on our to-do lists.  

Astrologically speaking, Leo in our horoscopes is said to be governor of our capacity to connect with others, stand tall, and let our light shine brightly in the world. Leo is associated with the body parts that we use these activities. When out of balance, symptoms surrounding these parts are our body’s way of directing our focus inward to their root cause.  Acupuncture can help you implement changes that will eliminate your body’s need to send you distress signals in the form of pain and discomfort.  Many times all that is necessary is a an adjustment via treatment and a reframing of your situation.  If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, or have not been seen yet this season for a tune-up, contact us today to schedule your appointment.  

The acupressure point Heart 7, entitled “Spirit Gate”, can help your body begin to self-correct the imbalances listed above until your next visit.  Press this point firmly for 5 minute intervals 2-3 times a day to activate the channel.  

Be good to yourself until we meet again!
