Sometimes we don’t even know the rut we’re in. Until a symptom, accident or diagnosis snaps us into an unexpected moment of presence.
We can chose the route of “fixing” our bodies, or engage a process of looking into “how we got here” and make more informed choices about the road to take from here.
In this episode we explore how the choices we make can land us in a difficult situation, and some options that Chinese medicine provides for regaining our balance and vitality.
