Natural Path to Health: Time is Moving Quickly
By Dr. Carol McIntyre
Time is moving quickly! I hope
you have all been enjoying the nice
weather we’ve been having and are get-
ting ready for summer. Soon we will be
in full garden mode and harvesting be-
fore we know it.
Speaking of time, I will be out
of the office from May 19 – May 29. I
am attending a seminar entitled “The
Calculation of Life According to the
Eight Signs,” Bazi Suanming. It will be
examining and understanding the rela-
tionships in Chinese philosophy pertain-
ing to psychological and medical assess-
ment.
This seminar will bring further
knowledge and depth of Chinese medi-
cal diagnosis through connection of all
levels of the human being. I am excited
to have this experience and training, as
it will allow me to even better develop
individual treatment plans for people. As
time moves forward, changing, our sys-
tems change as well. It is important to
recognize where we stand in ourselves at
any given moment.
At the office I have complet-
ed the upstairs “self-treatment” space
which includes two inversion tables,
an individual infrared sauna, a BioMat
interlaid with jade, amethyst and tour-
maline gem stones as well as a “ChiMa-
chine,” which is self-explanatory once
you see it. I will be creating a sign-up
sheet for people who want to spend time
in the sauna and/or on the BioMat, as
spaces will be in ½ hour increments so
everyone can have time to enjoy. There
will be a single use charge as well as a
monthly fee for those who want to use
the space more frequently. Swing by to
check it out and see what’s happening.
Jenny Hayes is doing massage
at the office now which many of you
already know. She offers table massage
by appointment on Monday and Friday
as well as chair massage on Wednesday
evenings. Her practice is building steadi-
ly so give her a call to schedule your
appointment now. She offers Swedish,
neuromuscular and deep tissue massage.
You can contact Jenny, owner of ‘Jen-
esis’ at (503) 709-8780.
Also, there is a bulletin board
outside on the front porch of the office
which I would like to use to communicate
positive messages, gatherings, etc… My
hope is to start a list which includes top-
ics of interest for people who would like
to participate in the small group gather-
ings I plan to host at the office. Anyone
is welcome to list a topic of interest and
others with the same interest can make
note and start a circle of contact to cre-
ate a discussion group. These groups are
still in the planning phase and I hope to
have all details worked out over the next
few months. Please give your input~ it’s
important!
That’s my quick update. Get out
and enjoy the nice weather! Thanks for
joining me ~ Be Well.
