"The trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let things go."

I am in a new space, inside and out. Sometimes the letting go takes time, and time is a beautiful phenomenon. Self reflection, healing, and rebirth are inextricably linked to both time and effort. While time can be frustrating, and we may often want to move through things or experiences faster than we are ready for, it also allows a process to unfold naturally, in a way that is comfortable and long lasting. Part of the meaning we gain by letting go is a movement toward real contentment. Most stress in our lives results from hanging on to beliefs that keep us striving for and wanting more, because our ego stubbornly believes we need it. When we make the shift away from that attachment, the influence of our ego fades. We gradually replace attachment with contentment. Chasing and striving—and then becoming attached to what we chased after—is a source of anxiety that feeds ambition, but it won’t satisfy the need for Meaning at our soul level. My teacher Master Ou Wen Wei, has a very deep and profound teaching that I still often find myself musing over.
"To seek, but not forcefully. Seek nothing, yet seek everything. Eventually one may achieve whatever one seeks."
To improve our life, it is necessary to have goals and put forth our best efforts, yet to try not to force an outcome, and be willing to modify the goal and adjust efforts. This allows for a broadening of our heart and soul, creating new opportunities for success!
After 18 years working as an Acupuncturist and Energy Healer, I continue to be in awe of how much I enjoy my craft; how it lights me up to deepen relationships with clients, have meaningful connection, and learn what humans need to truly heal and thrive; and how Chinese Medicine supports conventional medical treatments, while also educating us all on what's missing. This holistic approach, honoring your whole being, is what brings me the most joy and reward. I see people transform their bodies, but also their unhealthy thought patterns, their emotional well being, and their spiritual satisfaction, ultimately empowering their entire lives.
After working in my Asheville office for the last two years I’ve decided to move my healing practice back to Black Mountain…the place that truly feels like home. Beginning Nov 1st of this year, I will continue offering Acupuncture, Qi Gong healing, Private Yoga and Tai Chi in my NEW space - a serene, elegant and warm atmosphere- working with other amazing healers and practitioners at Be Well Collective! My in-person healing appointments will be condensed so I have more time for amazing new offerings both locally and globally!
I am delighted to be transitioning back to a place that lights up my heart and soul, to share my gifts and serve the community in this gorgeous mountain town and healing oasis. I am equally delighted to trust my new direction and follow the opportunities that I have created, and that have crossed my path, encouraging expansion beyond my local community.
So..if you're unable to join me for my Fall Into Bliss Women's Retreat THIS Oct 20-23, there are more soulful & quality “Nish” offerings, workshops and retreats coming in 2023. Keep scrolling for all the yummy details. I couldn’t be more excited and blessed to do what I love, and to continue finding the inspiration for it. You are a part of that (yes if you’re reading this I’m talking to you) so THANK YOU. I so appreciate all of you and the support you have offered.
2023 is a year of growth and expansion! I sincerely hope I get to connect with you, whether its in person, online or somewhere in the clear sky beyond the clouds ;-).
If I don't already know you, I am curious and eager to learn more, to understand and support your growth, your truth, and your soul's journey.
Love for the journey,
Anisha
