#147 -  When Grief Gets Trapped in the Body with Dana Robinson, L. Ac.

Autumn is the season of grief. Grief also inhabits particular organs in the body. Healing invites us to move with and through our emotions and trust in their necessary processes, lest they become stuck within the body system. Learn with us as we explore some of the stunning millennia-old teachings of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as articulated by licensed acupuncturist Dana Robinson with Mend Acupuncture in Baltimore, Maryland. You will receive an illuminating teaching of how we can be in tune with the seasons of the calendar year, by paying attention to our emotions and which organs in the body correspond to which emotions and seasons, and how we can be in tune with the natural movement of the seasons and remove blockages in the body, particularly when certain emotions have not been fully processed, as many emotions are not in our fast paced world.
