We start with a nice little tradition- the monthly round up.
I will list all of the posts we made this month, and sometimes- if I feel like it- we will add interesting things we liked this month. Just one of the good side of being my own boss, I can add things I like just because I feel like it.
Let’s begin:
The Heiner Experience Part 2 followed part 1 (this is just the way it goes, you know?), in which we talked about anger, what Heiner had to say about anger in a seminar he gave last month and how all is experienced by me through acupuncture.

I have 2 reasons to get up in the morning- the first one is my perfect husband. The second reason is my beautiful boy.
My son is almost 16 months old. With every day that goes by he gains more and more space in my heart, and is introducing me to amounts of love I never knew possible. Everything changed for me when that boy came into my life, everything changed in so many levels that I can’t really describe it, it’s one of those things one should experience in order to know what I mean.
I studied CM and knew to describe my path in this very un-clear, multi-paths world that is CM:
I’ll finish school, open a clinic, be an assistant with one of the best known practitioners in the country, continue studying, be a teacher’s assistant…
And then life happened- I finished school (along the way my mother passed away), started my own practice and things were going well, I was looking for the best course to take as a post-graduate course, I was an assistant of a well-known practitioner for a year (not the practitioner I wanted but I managed to learn many things from him, mainly what I don’t want to be as a practitioner) and I was a teacher’s assistant in one of the leading schools in the country. 4 years ago my father passed away and this was the first time I felt my practice is not really something I want to have in my life.

Today I want to talk about the foundations of pregnancy.
This is an article I wrote in Hebrew, and is the first part of 2 articles about pregnancy.
I read a lot about the 8 Extraordinary Meridians (some called it an obsession…hmmm…) as I was fascinated by them (aren’t everybody??), and studied more about Gynecology and found the CM to be probably the ultimate medicine for women. No kidding.
Please note that I mentioned things briefly, there is a lot to be said about almost every single thing I wrote here, and you are more than welcome to share your knowledge here, I will be more than happy if you do so.

Yes, it’s time for part 3 of the “magical mystery tour” aka The Heiner Experience.
It is almost a month since Heiner visited Israel and his lectures and the whole vibe still echos in my heart and brain. I came to the point of frustration (will bring you up-to-date about that in a later post), knowing that the person I want to study from is, well, a bit *too* far from where I am.
Nuts.
I asked Heiner to send me his answers to my questions again, and he graciously did so, so now I can share it with you.
Just so you’ll know, as this was an interview for the ICCM congress here in Israel, it is more about Heiner and CM in general, we did not go into specifics.
Maybe next time.
Still, I think it’s an interesting interview and I am happy to share it with you, as part of the whole Heiner Experience.
Enjoy!

Before I started studying Chinese Medicine, it would happen to me all the time with my favorite band- Queen (Brian May rules by the way…):
I’d think about them, turn on the radio, and along came a song by Queen. As though it was especially for me.
Don’t you just love it when that happens?
Ever since I started studying CM, I think about points, talk about points with other people, and then I go to my practitioner/healer and along comes the very same point that was on my mind for so long. This happened recently twice- with Tai Yi- ST23, and with Da Dun- Liv1.
Amazing.
It’s been two weeks or so since I heard Prof. Heiner Fruehauf speak on the Israeli Congress of Chinese Medicine, and I keep thinking about certian parts he talked about.
On the first seminar- “All Diseases Come From The Heart”- Heiner talked about the Ox, which is the animal associated with the 12th month, which is associated with the Liver organ, is the symbol of the uterus and ovaries.
Therefore, like the Ox, the Liver is the source of all endourness: physically, sexually and emotionally.
And women are a part of all this.
The weakest point for women is also their strongest point, which is blood. And when you talk of blood in CM, you talk primarely about the Liver.
The Ox is a symbol for the uterus and the ovaries, the internal organs of a woman, which have everything to do with smooth flow of blood- whether we’re talking about a woman’s cycle or about pregnancy.
