“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and righdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there.” ~ Rumi

There is a movement afoot underneath the chaos, confusion and unkindness that has surfaced as the COVID Pandemic has raged on. We have all noticed people's shadow become more amplified and projected onto other's who do not share their views. Our 'cancel culture' is spreading faster than COVID and creating an unkind society, and this is not good. For those of us who were born in the sixties, this level of isolation and exclusion from one another feels foreign. We were always able to debate constructively, agree to disagree, and discuss differences of opinion to gain greater perspective and understanding. We never ignored evidence or disrespected one another for differences of opinion, for the most part. Today, evidence is replaced with belief, and difference of opinion is used to separate and exclude. It's very sad and very scary.

TCM Body Clock I & II

Chunchieh Bruce Sun, Cac., MSOM, Dipl OM

According to Chinese medicine theory, our body consists of an energy network called the meridian system. There are twelve regular meridians that make up the main part of the meridian system. The twelve meridians have lateral and symmetrical distribution on the head, face, trunk and limbs and distribute symmetrically on both sides of the body and are paired with their corresponding internal organs/body tissues. They connect the whole body, supply Qi to all over the body and maintain the physical, mental and spiritual balance.

Good Grief

Eric Ehrke, LCSW, LMFT

In 1969 Elizabeth Kubler-Ross wrote her groundbreaking book, On Death and Dying, which provided five stages of the grieving process. I would venture a guess everyone reading this article has heard about her stages...denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Her co-author, David Kessler added finding meaning as a sixth stage in this book. These stages quickly provided a conceptual framework about every form of grief. However, it is important to remember grieving is not linear process and everyone processes loss in unique ways. Reaching a state of acceptance and finding meaning around a significant loss mystifies many. Since this pandemic continues to create loss for everyone, this article will provide some practical suggestions.
