Is Five Element Acupuncture the best medicine for 2021? The Power of Five.

In numerology 2021 is said to be a year of the universal 5, resonating with the energies of freedom and change.  According to numerologist Felicia Bender "Overall, the 5 Universal Year is a time demanding change on a radical level."

You can read more about what this means on her page here but what this means for most of us on personal level is that the blanket is being shaken.  Our comfort zone hasn't been comfortable for a while now, the global pandemic one major factor affecting all our lives.  Instability, unpredictability, disruption are a given, but all create opportunities for evolution, expansion and transformation.
 
One of my favourite astrologers Alchemise offers that 'the power of 5 will be a vibrational reminder of the power of creativity and your own creative life force.'

Five Element acupuncture is at its very essence a transformative medicine.  It can transform dis-ease and imbalance into health and harmony.  Not only that but one of the fundamentals of this system of medicine is the Creative Cycle, or the five phases that tell of the never-ceasing transformation of yin to yang and yang to yin.  The cycle of the seasons ever-creative but also ever-destructive; both healthy, both necessary.

This Creative Cycle - and its counterpart, the Destructive Cycle - are also at work, or at play, within all of us.  We are microcosms of the macrocosm after all, so it would be arrogant to assume we are above the laws of nature!  But, being human, we resist both of these things at times.  Man has become accustomed to feeling he has mastery over nature.  Change and transformation can be uncomfortable, demanding.  Destruction or letting go of that which no longer serves us can make us feel fearful of what we are losing rather than curious about what we are making room for.  

So could Five Element acupuncture be the ultimate medicine for this time?  At its very heart is the teaching that we are offering a way to allow people to return to their true, authentic self and inviting them to live in a way that is a true, healthy expression of that self.   Living in this way gives us incredible strength as well as a trust in the process of life that helps us embrace the full, messy, human experience.

It helps us live with courage, creativity, love, security, humility, strength, a deep knowing that whatever life brings we can be ok.   It allow us to be fully inside our own 'creative life force'. 

So yes.  The perfect medicine for our time.  The time is now.
