Lowood Natural Therapies

A few weeks ago, I came to the realisation that I wasn't giving myself the same care I was so freely giving to others.
So I started receiving regular acupuncture treatments.
And in doing so, I remembered why I chose to learn this profession in the first place.
During my last treatment, I became aware of something else....
That feeling you get when your back is full of pins and the room slowly becomes quiet.
You're are still there.
You know your practitioner is moving quietly around the room.
But somehow, they feel miles away.
You notice your breath.
The weight of your body against the table.
The heavy, comforting sensation of the needles.
The movement of your ribs.
Your belly rising and falling.
The outside world becomes softer.
The boundary between you and everything around you begins to blur.
This is known as the acupuncture liminal state.
That space between waking and dreaming.
Between body and awareness.
Between being alone and being held.
Between the outside world and the inside world.
You're awake, but ordinary consciousness has become quieter.
You haven't left your body.
You've gone deeper into it.
And perhaps that is of the magic of acupuncture.
Not that the needles are doing the healing for you.
But that they create a space where you can become quiet enough to notice that your body has been healing all along.
A space where you don't have to do anything.
Nothing to achieve.
Nothing to fix.
Just breathe.
Just be.
And let your body remember how to come home to itself.
That, to me, is where the magic happens. 🌿

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY

Meets the body with enough presence to listen,
enough knowledge to understand,
and enough humility not to impose.

Your muscles aren’t twisted like a pretzel….🥨 mmm pretzels 🤤

Here’s what’s really happening in your muscles.

🌿 YOU ARE PART OF NATURE — AND NATURE IS ALWAYS CHANGING
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) teaches us that life is a constant process of movement, transformation and change.
Look at nature.
The seasons change. The trees shed their leaves and grow new ones. Water flows, clouds form and dissolve, flowers bloom and eventually return to the earth.
Nature doesn't resist change.
It moves and grows with it.
And you are part of that same nature.
So you, too, are always changing.
Sometimes that change feels beautiful and exciting — a new beginning, a new relationship, a new direction in life.
And sometimes it feels deeply uncomfortable — a career changing, a relationship ending, a chapter closing, or losing someone we love.
We can wish things would stay the same. We can cling to what was familiar.
But change is not necessarily something going wrong.
Change is part of life.
Change is necessary for growth.
Change is how we evolve.
In TCM, health is about maintaining flow — allowing Energy, Blood, emotions and the seasons of life to move and transform rather than becoming stuck.
Perhaps healing isn't about becoming the person you were before.
Perhaps healing is about returning to wholeness — integrating what you've experienced, allowing yourself to grow, and becoming more fully who you are now.
🌱 We are not meant to stay the same.
We are meant to grow, evolve, transform and return to wholeness — again and again.
Just as nature does.
You are nature.
You are allowed to change.
You are allowed to grow.
You are allowed to become. 🌿

A little appreciation where it’s due! 👏

After being in the area for the past 20 years, I can honestly say I’ve never seen the footpath looking this clean. It was great to see Council out giving the footpath a much-needed clean and tidy-up.

It’s one of those little things that makes such a difference to the appearance and feel of our community.

Thank you to the Council team who got out there and gave it some attention — it’s definitely noticed and appreciated! 🌿👏 Somerset Regional Council
