The Zen of Healing

Testimonials

Anyone would feel comfortable with David … he's soft spoken, gentle, listens attentively, and explains information so you understand it. I especially liked his use of tuning forks (talk about getting relaxed!). I highly recommend him if you have a need for an acupuncturist!

David Tucker is absolutely fantastic and he is a master of his craft. I originally went to see him for a skin condition and he managed to fix everything else while he was at it. Everyone can benefit from this sort of care.

Exploring Symptoms…

One definition of a symptom is stated as: A change from normal structure, function, or sensation as would be experienced by the patient and indicative of disease.
This is very interesting. The first thing that stands out to me is, what is considered “normal”? And what is considered “disease”? There are a vast majority of people [...]

Laughter, the best medicine…

Each of the five elements carries the energetic imprint of a specific color, sound, odor, emotion, season, climate, taste, time of day, etc. Incorporating some of these things into our lifestyle, especially during their corresponding season can be extraordinarily nourishing. The emotion related to the Summer season/Fire element is Joy and the sound is Laughter. [...]

Why Meditate??

This is a wonderful question. One in which that has just as equally wonderful answers. I was inspired to write about this from a story I just heard about an acquaintance of mine who was on the train from Portland while someone was having a heart attack. While most people were stunned, scared, and uncertain… [...]

The other aspects of this season involve our ability to be in compassionate control over our universe, as well as being able to sort out the helpful vs. hurtful aspects of our daily [...]

Embracing our Healing Potential…

Though many people are familiar with my tagline and what it truly represents, I feel inspired to write about it here.
“with a gentle reminder, healing comes from within”
Many people (though not all) who go to see traditional allopathic physicians and are given a western diagnosis, allow this to then cement their existence… or at least [...]

Fire and the Season of Summer!

The summer season is upon us. For the year, it is our most Yang time of year. And the sun is reaching out to love, connect, and warm all of that which grows in Nature. The same is true on an interpersonal level. The emotion connected to the Fire Element is Joy and the sound [...]

Starting May in the Present Moment…

Yesterday I turned the page on my Pema Chodron (world-renowned Buddhist teacher) calendar and was so taken back by the words in front of me, I felt I had to share them. Enjoy them again and again!
“Love. Buddha nature. Courage. These are code words for things that we don’t know in our minds, but any [...]

Dreaming To Have the Best Laid Plans…

In the Five Element acupuncture world, we talk alot about how we can live in closer harmony with Nature. Well, certainly acupuncture treatment helps with that. But what about some “take home” stuff?
Throughout the day each Official has a two hour window of time where the Qi is flowing strongest throughout that meridian… its [...]

The energy before us is outward, [...]
