Balancing Body and Spirit with Dr. Yun Kim (Part 2)

Oftentimes, when our bodies and minds are worn down, healing those parts of ourselves involves re-balancing. A huge part of this is listening to your body and taking the time to pause and tune into your mind and spirit. When you do this, pain, stress, or imbalance can be seen as an invitation to realign, release, and restore harmony from within. In today's Part 2 episode, I continue my conversation with Dr. Yun Kim, former president and CEO of Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine. We explore the deeper layers of acupuncture and how this ancient practice continues to transform lives today. From calming the nervous system and easing anxiety, to improving sleep, circulation, and emotional wellbeing, Dr. Kim shares how acupuncture can help the body restore its healing power. Tune in and listen to the thirty-second episode of I Can Do This, Show Me How! to learn more about the healing and balancing effects of acupuncture and why so many people swear by its power.  In this episode, you’ll learn:About the physiological basis of acupuncture (2:00)About some of the biggest misconceptions people have about the effectiveness of acupuncture (11:34)About the five branches of traditional Chinese medicine (15:13)Why one in four acupuncture patients are referred by a Western MD (20:58)How and why acupuncture was used by the Black Panthers (22:40)How Dr. Kim has witnessed, first-hand, the positive effects of acupuncture on individuals experiencing trauma (26:29)Why meditation is like brushing your teeth (35:28)ResourcesThe Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph CampbellThe Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell and Bill MoyersFreedom’s Teacher by Katherine Mellen CharronLet's connect!My Email: [email protected] International: www.mentorfoundationusa.orgMentor: www.mentoring.orgAshoka Changemakers: www.ashoka.org Hosted on Acast.
