This past weekend I had the opportunity to participate in the Aberdeen Art Walk. Participants observed several types and styles of art along Wishkah, Broadway and Heron including watercolor, woodworking, pastel work, photography, belly dancing, martial arts and music. They could even develop their own talents in the drumming alley, banging away on a wide selection of percussive devices—shutters, pipes, pots, pans and buckets.
My only offering was Cassandra, a mannequin on which I had drawn the acupuncture points and meridians, for a school project. She drew snickers if seen from a distance greater than five feet. Once people drew closer, they saw my ‘art’ and made more serious comment or question.
I always enjoy the opportunity to answer questions about acupuncture. Many people I met asked me if acupuncture can help their pain. In most cases, it does. Others asked about a particular illness such as allergies or PMS. Again, I let them know that acupuncture and Oriental medicine can help. Our bodies constantly strive to remain balanced, to obtain homeostasis. Acupuncture allows our bodies to redirect energy so that it flows in a manner that promotes healing and balance.
