New Name, New Look, New Format, New Mission
Beginning this month, the Life in Motion Newsletter is now the Namaste Yoga Newsletter and we are going from a monthly to a bimonthly format. We want to introduce you to a deeper practice of yoga that restores physical vitality and mental clarity to support your evolving consciousness and compassion. We want to support your unfolding with our services of energy healing, one-on-one yoga, massage, nutrition and psychotherapy.
Yoga is so much more than a physical practice. It is a time-tested technology of personal transformation and spiritual evolution. It is designed to support an integrated process of awakening into higher structures of consciousness. Yoga.should not be confused with religion. These practices are designed to give you a direct spiritual experience. They are for awakening our awareness of who we truly are.
Chaos is an indicator of change. The winds of March are a classic example of the fury needed to sweep winter away for the first breath of spring. It is clear that we are on the cusp of a great shift in our awareness. We are transforming from a structure of consciousness that divides the world into self and many into a structure that unites the One and the many.
What does this mean to you? It means the journey of awakening is the most remarkable journey you will ever undertake. It means remembering that the essential truth of all humanity is that we are Divine. Namaste is a greeting , an acknowledgement and an affirmation of our true nature as Divine.
The power of your practice rests on why you are doing it. Practice for the joy of awakening your mind , your body and your heart. Practice for the awakeningof everyone. Practice to see all life as sacred. Practice to serve life. The source of all healing is within you.
With palms together,

"Christ has no body on earth now but yours,
no hands but yours, no feet but yours,
Yours are the eyes through which Christ’s compassion looks out to the world.
Yours are the feet with which he walks about, doing his good work.
Yours are the hands he uses to bless us now."
-- St. Teresa of Avila

Acupuncture - Making Its Way Into The Mainstream
by Deborah Stotzky M.S., L.Ac.
"Where there is pain there is no flow, where there is no pain there is flow". This simple and ancient idea is truly at the route of acupuncture theory and practice.
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting very fine needles into specific points on the surface of the body for therapeutic purposes. By doing so, acupuncture generates the movement of energy (qi) throughout the body, enhances the immune system and promotes healing.
What Acupuncture Can Treat
Acupuncture can successfully treat imbalances in all the systems of the body. Studies done by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and The World Health Organization (an agency of the United Nations) resulted in lists of conditions for which they consider acupuncture a successful form of treatment, making the practice of acupuncture very much more accepted in mainstream medicine. Some of these conditions include: acute sinusitis, common cold, acute bronchitis, gastritis, constipation, diarrhea, headache, migraine, facial palsy, neurogenic bladder dysfunction, “frozen shoulder”, “tennis elbow”, sciatica, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis, and menstrual cramps. Acupuncture is a fundamental therapy found in Alternative Health Care facilities associated with major hospitals, institutions and pain management facilities, and this trend is growing.
Pain Management
The American Medical Association acknowledges the profound effect acupuncture has on the management of pain, both chronic and acute. Americans alone spend billions of dollars every year on pain management. The treatment of pain through traditional Western medical models often rely on drugs and surgical procedures that commonly produce adverse side effects and are often temporary remedies. There are no prolonged, negative side effects with acupuncture treatment. On the contrary, an “acupuncture side effect” is normally deep relaxation, a sense of well being and a reconnected with the self. By regulating the entire system, acupuncture can treat an existing imbalance, and help to prevent illness in the future. Acupuncture is a highly successful alternative and/or adjunct to Western medical treatments.
Tao Philosophy
The theories of acupuncture and Chinese medicine are firmly routed in the philosophy of the Tao, with a deep understanding of the interrelated relationship of all things in the universe. From Taoist philosophy come the theories of Yin & Yang and The Five Elements. In applying these theories to acupuncture, we can begin to understand the interconnected and continuously transforming nature of the human body.
