đż In Japanese acupuncture, the Stomach Qi line is one of the pathways we may work with when the body feels depleted, heavy or lacking in energy.
Rather than simply thinking about energy as something we need more of, Japanese acupuncture looks at how well Qi is moving through the body.
Working along this line on the shin can help support the flow of Stomach Qi and encourage the body to return to a more balanced state.
Sometimes, improving how things move is just as important as trying to create more energy.
đż âStillness, tranquillity and quietude are the root of all things.â - Zhuangzi
Itâs easy to think of rest as something we do once everything else is finished.
But if the days are full and we move from one thing to the next without much pause, sometimes getting into bed is the first real moment weâve had to slow down.
No wonder switching off can feel difficult.
Rest is not simply about getting more sleep. Itâs also about creating moments during the day where youâre not doing, fixing or responding to something.
Sometimes slowing down is not taking time away from the things that matter. Itâs what allows us to return to them with a little more energy and capacity.

đż Thereâs a difference between being tired and being able to properly rest.
When youâve been busy or under pressure for a long time, staying switched on can become so familiar that slowing down doesnât always feel easy. You can be exhausted at the end of the day and still find yourself unable to settle.
Itâs not necessarily a sign that you need to try harder to relax. Sometimes your body simply needs more opportunities to slow down throughout the day, rather than waiting until youâre finally in bed.
If this sounds familiar, it may be worth paying attention to how often youâre actually getting the chance to pause and reset, not just how many hours youâre sleeping.

đż October Massage Offer
We were really pleased with the response to our last massage offer, so weâre bringing it back for October.
Massage is sometimes seen as a nice-to-have, but it can be much more than that. Regular massage can support your body to recover, move more freely and feel better.
For October, weâre making it a little easier to commit to regular treatments:
5 massages for $500*
If youâve already experienced Prawâs massages, youâll know why people keep coming back.
And if you havenât, this is a chance to experience what can happen when you have a series of treatments rather than waiting until things get bad.
Last time we ran this offer, appointments booked out pretty quickly, so if youâd like to take advantage of it, we recommend getting in early.
đ Call the clinic on 3360 0045 or book online.
*Valid for two months from purchase. For individual use only.*
đż Ear Shen Men
One of the most well known points in auricular acupuncture, Shen Men is often used as part of a treatment to help settle the nervous system and create a sense of calm and regulation.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shen Men is considered a point that can help settle the spirit, making it a lovely addition when someone is feeling stressed, overwhelmed, restless or unable to switch off.

đż Today marks 48 years since Mary arrived in Australia from England!
Three days later, she met Pete, who had just returned to Australia after holidaying in England.
What a huge moment that must have been arriving in a new country, leaving England behind and beginning a whole new chapter in Australia. đđż

đż Thereâs tired, and then thereâs the kind of tired where a good nightâs sleep doesnât seem to touch it.
Youâre still functioning, still getting through work and everyday life, but your patience is shorter, your capacity is lower and things you normally enjoy can start to feel like too much.
And strangely, when you finally get some time to rest, you might not even be able to relax.
That doesnât necessarily mean youâre doing something wrong. Sometimes itâs a sign that youâve been switched on for too long and havenât had enough genuine recovery.
Being worn out isnât always obvious. Sometimes it looks like coping, just with very little left in the tank.
Start by noticing where your energy is going and giving yourself some genuine time to recover, rather than constantly pushing through.
And if youâre finding it difficult to get back to feeling like yourself, weâre here to help. Acupuncture, massage, naturopathy and FSM offer different forms of support, depending on what youâre experiencing.
đż Meg had a quick Moxa training session with Joel earlier this week. Any little moments throughout the day our team usually end up training and sharing information or techniques with each other.
