I’ve been having some difficulty keeping my cool lately. Just about everything sends me reeling into an angry accusatory fit of anxiety. Perhaps it is conditions in my relationships and my work environment that have got me feeling so tense, but change takes time to make and in the meantime I must treat the symptoms. The last thing I want to do is remit to Western medicine and psychopharmacology, SO my good friend has recommended that I try Acupuncture. 
She has been going for a few months for similar mood-related issues and has found great success. She took me to the Pacific Coast School for Eastern Medicine, right down the street from where I work. They started by asking me questions about seemingly non-related things : “Do you ever get strange achey pains in your abdomen or knees? When You get angry does your face get hot or can you physically feel the tension build inside of you? What does your stool look like? What are your most recent dreams?”
And they were completely fascinated by my tongue. Apparently different coatings, colors and textures can say alot about the immediate condition of my body. I’m in the process of reading up more on these things but in the meantime I’ve gotta jet… gotta be at work by 4.
Sorry again for the lack of posting. Hope that it won’t be quite so far between this and the next. Stay tuned.
