Acupuncture:
I have eight rounds of
acupuncture, two times a week for four weeks prior to the surgery. My
acupuncturist, Dr. Allen Arnette, works to build my immune system and get my
energy flowing. (I can’t prove it, but I know acupuncture did something because
after my surgery, my Jackson-Pratt drains came out only after a week! That’s
amazing!)
Qi Gong:
It’s an ancient Chinese
system that integrates postures, focused intentions, and breathing techniques.
Qi means the life force that flows through all things. When I do these
postures, it’s like a moving meditation. It reduces stress, invites healing,
and brings me back to center.
This is the video I use:
The Biomat:
*Read a prior post from November
2015 to learn about its many benefits. So awesome and it truly helps to relax
the muscles!! LOVE it!! I’m on it everyday.
Breathing:
I often practice breathing
techniques, especially when I become aware of my own breath. I inhale 1-2-3-4,
then exhale 1-2-3-4, letting go, letting go, letting go. A method I learned
from Tara Brach. I often listen to her meditations while I’m on the Biomat.
