One year later...........

Going to India was a life altering experience! While staying at the Ashram, all of us "medical type people" got together, and opened a first aid clinic. We provided services to hundreds of sick Westerners. Most suffered from dehydration. The temperature went up to 104 on some days. Also, many people came to the clinic with fatigue, loose stools, vomitting, elevated temperatures, etc. One of the guys on the medical team (Alan) was an acupuncturist. He set up an official class for us every day where he taught us a type of acupuncture called NADA. http://www.acudetox.com/ NADA promotes wellbeing, and we offered an acupuncture treatment to every sick person who entered our office. The results were exciting! Time after time, people said they felt much better, no matter what the ailment. This was my first experience with acupuncture. I was turned on!!! I immediately knew I wanted to learn more.

So, first thing I did when I got back to Michigan was to get certified in NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association). 5 acupuncture points on each ear relieves withdrawal symptoms. It also relieves symptoms of stress.

Then I enrolled in classes at Blue Heron Academy http://www.blueheronacademy.com/ . So far, I have studied herbal remedies, and healing with diet. It's been a great year. Now I am studying acupressure. After completing this course, I will begin studying acupuncture. It's been a great year!

So there you have it ~ one year in a nutshell.
