Chemistry

We really got into some deep and intriguing subjects on the first day of biochemistry. I remember feeling really sad when we were discussing pollution issues and its effects on tissues in as young as three year old children in Mexico City. The discussion of dry needling and appropriation by Kaiser was insightful and as a first trimester student very new and important for me. I remain excited about all the possibilities acupuncture has to offer in regards to people's health ability to heal. I am excited to see how my education helps me navigate all of the obstacles I am yet to be confronted with when working in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture. "Biochemistry is a science that is concerned with the composition and changes in the formation of living species" I like this quote because it makes a connection between science and the feeling of being concerned, which means it is integrating experimentation, critical thought, and outcome. It also takes ...

My E-Prime Day: In my memory, it appears I woke up around 8 am. I think I lay in bed for about thirty minutes while I let my mind come into what I believe is consciousness. I used what appears to be a grinder to manually convert whole coffee beans into what looks like a smaller form. Then my mind began to wake up. Using the computer I wrote out what appears to be my e-prime morning. OR is it actually evening? It appears we will never truly know. As above, so below As the saying goes, what is above indicates what is below. Looking at pine tree we know how many feet it stands tall, but what you may not know is that the root of the tree is also as long as it is tall. Meaning a tree that stands 30 feet tall will usually be accompanied by a tap root of the same length.

In regards to sacred geometry I would like to share some of my friends' artwork. The first is bay area artist Lena Wolff's black dahlia. The line and angles so perfectly symmetrical with the addition of some random dots The second is another bay area artist Alicia McCarthy and a piece inspired by traditional weaving, an image I was lucky enough to see in person at the Museum of Modern Art a few years back. The third is a photograph of a rose in the Oakland Rose garden. All of these images, unique in form and material all resonate a similar frequency when I see them. This is an example of visual vibrations. Fibonacci sequence is a pattern of math equations that are written in a numerical sentence. That sequence is depicted in the natural world from sea shells to DNA strands to cosmos in the sky. It blows my mind

Newton's Laws: Newton states three laws (1) objects at rest, remain at rest, objects in motion remain in motions until acted on by an outside force. Yes. my dog laying on the couch is an object at rest. when I push him off the couch he is acted up on by me, and gravity and falls (slowly) off the couch. (2) acceleration of an object is related to the force acting on it--if I push my dog gently he will slide off the couch, but if I push him with more force he will fall with more speed. (3) when two objects interact the force acted upon object one by object two is in the opposite direction--when I push on my dog I am the force that is causing the collision. I don't continue on in the same direction as I push, but rather my body goes one way and my dog goes the other.  Luckily I do not mind if my dog is on the cough and this is all theoretical. Energy efficient culture! Unfortunately we don't live in an energy efficient culture. IF we did, perhaps we would not be in the p...
