That is when I realized the swans were alerting me! How are you flowing? How are you being flexible? Are you stopping to enjoy the “Blues?” It hit me: the “Blues” can be calming, beautiful and cathartic. It was late and the security stopped to make sure I was ok. I assured her that I was in fact good for the first time–before exams I was GOOD!!
FLOW is paramount in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Yet as a student around exam time, I let go of flow and become rigid. As a future acupuncturist and herbologist, I technically realize this is an unhealthy practice. In the chill of the night, Week 4 of Tri 4, I began to love the Blues and all that it encompasses. Nature once again spoke to my soul.
To all my fellow students as we are embarking on different trimesters of our journeys let us not forget to flow! Let’s not seize up and turn into study warriors and turn off everything that brings us joy, peace, and “BLUES!”
