On this weeks episode, licensed acupuncturist and Sufi Spiritual Teacher, Dr. C. Picara Vassallo, DAOM, discusses how the connection to our true self and to something greater than ourselves plays a role in wellness especially our immune health such as in auto-immune conditions. Here are just a few of the highlights we discuss on the show. 1. How does our connection to spirit or our higher self impact our view of our own health and wellness? 2. Can a continued state of ill health or chronic disease impact our connection to our emotional and spiritual body? 3. How do we begin to connect more deeply to our body and spirit to prevent illnesses? 4. How does this connection to our inner self help to empower our role in our own health? 5. How can we begin to develop a greater sense of trust within ourselves to shift our own health? 6. How does our own view of health impact the health and wellness of the planet? 7. How can a chronic state of a distorted view of personal health lead to autoimmune disease? 8. During this pandemic time, how do you think that fear and stress is impacting our personal well being and mindset? 9. How can acupuncture shift the relationship between the physical and energetic body?
