Haiti. First and foremost i love our landlord here in Haiti; he's been a father, friend, transporter, and all around protector. God definitely outdid himself giving us his best guardian angel. As the days close in for our departure, its saddens me to think our days with Erick will soon end.

We visited the orphanage/school in the country side which was a breath of fresh are. Being in the hub of Port-Au-Prince all these days; traffic, dusty roads, hustle-n-bustle of people getting everywhere - made seeing the countryside a nice detox from the big city. it was a bumpy ride (literally) to the country; dirt muddy roads, dusty roads as well, ditches. However, having the atlantic coast to the right of me was refreshing.

All the children and adults we treated, all with smiles, soaked in the treatment like it was food for the soul. Because of the language barrier, they couldn't ask much questions and just TRUSTED us. They all seemed to respond well to treatment; relaxed, slept in there chairs, released any trauma they held on tight to.

This amazing trip has totally put my life in a whole different perspective. All i stress over in America means absolutely nothing since I've been here. Thought i was here to help, yet being here has actually helped me.

Haiti. I've been here for three days and only now have a chance to share some thoughts. A team of four are here providing relief work as acupuncturists. We're here to provide acupuncture to victims of the earthquake, first/second responders, and anyone interested in receiving treatment.

It was a tough first day for me; I definitely had some culture shock and the devastation left by the quake is still very present and doesn't seem to be improving quick enough (then again I'm talking from American standards of what it means to quickly-improve).

Hot. Sticky. Humid. Hot again. Right now where having a rain storm as i write, however we've consistently had one everyday so far at this same time; i love it! Going to the different venues providing acupuncture has been a priceless experience each time; its a chance to give what-i-love-to-do some serious worldly care.

Each day that passes, I'm beginning to love this country, the people, and all its beautiful chaos! Excuse the choppiness of my blog entry....there's so much I wanna share....more to come!

I’ve mentioned before the importance of balancing the liver energy. I will continue to remind us just because it pretty much effects everyone around us. I mentioned in a tweet and on Facebook, “let bygones be bygones”. Expanding on that, releasing grudges and forgiving yourself, others, and past events definitely brings balance and peace to your liver. And when a peaceful liver is present, you’re able to thrive during stressful events and those once stressful events no longer have the heavy energy they once provoked. So begin now to peel off those layers of resentment and grudge, and feel your Qi become lighter and lift up. A sure sign you’re freeing your liver and bringing balance to your body and soul.
