May is Mental Health Awareness Month
In Chinese philosophy, we all have 9 areas of our life that need attending too: Career, Relationship, Health, Wealth, Home, Children/Creativity, Travel, Wisdom and Prosperity. These are called the Nine Palaces, and at the AHC, we are keenly aware of the need to balance these nine factors that play such an important part in our lives. The Health Palace, of course, is our primary focus at the AHC. But we recognize that health is much more than our physical bodies. Mental health also plays a significant factor.
The role of stress and anxiety in particular plays a huge part in our ongoing healthcare. When we are stressed or anxious, it's important to pay attention to signs that our bodies are handling this well. Sometimes we become aware of minor changes in our bodies. Even minor issues that might not seen significant enough to call your physician are important in Chinese Medicine. There are a number of simple energetic blockages that may be the cause of these strange symptoms. And while the symptoms may not be significant at this time, they may progress to something more serious over a longer period of time if they're not attended to.
Chinese Medicine is a healing system based on energy flow. So the basic premise is that energy must flow through the meridian systems in order to maintain optimal health. In theory, any illness can be treated with Chinese Medicine because all illness begins with energetic blockages or deficiencies.
The lack of Qi flow in the body is heavily influenced by our mental state. Stress, anxiety, bitterness, depression... all of these emotions can have an impact on our qi flow. When you are feeling these emotions, the goal is to allow yourself to feel them and let them move through so you can return to your normal state of flow. Easier said than done!
Mental Health is so important to your overall health, we recommend to our clients who might be feeling particularly emotional or simply having a very difficult time with particular life situations that they come in for treatment before their health is negatively affected. Mental as well as emotional health challenges are just as important as physical ailments and need tending too.
Our goal at AHC is to help you maintain your health throughout your entire life. We do not ascribe to the common belief that we have to grow old, decrepit, and unwell. We can live our lives fully long into our elder years, even until the day it's our time to go. Society may not support this theory, but with energetic medicine, it's much more likely that you can age with grace through the unfolding of your life.
At the AHC, we believe understanding and living your energetic nature (through the Five Elements) and balancing your Nine Palaces are key to good mental health.
In addition, we invite everyone to take one step beyond just balancing all the factors pulling on you in life, and jump into the magic of Alchemy - transcending the limitations of your mind.
To call or schedule your session, call 413-213-0303. Or, if you have a login already, visit the Alchemy Healing Center Appointments page.
We truly hope to see you in the Alchemy Healing Center soon - and Thank You for being a part of the Alchemy Healing Center family!
Stay safe, stay healthy...from our Alchemy Healing Center family, to yours!
