I think a lot of you know of my healing journeys to New Mexico, but I wanted to send heartfelt gratitude -- because it all started at a meeting with Justice Yazzie at Karma Kitchen!
Our friendship has grown and I will be traveling back this Spring to set up a pop-up Chinese Medicine clinic for the Navajo people there.
I've written about the whole thing in my latest musing, and also mentioned ServiceSpace.
I think back with wonder at the divine plan that created my first meeting with Justice Yazzie. At that time, I was struggling to express my understanding of the heart of Chinese Medicine. The root of Chinese Medicine seemed so breathtakingly simple, so overlooked, so misunderstood and so needed in this world but I was filled with trepidation and self-doubt about my ability to teach such startlingly simple yet profound ideas. Meeting Justice Yazzie was just the right medicine at the right time for me to grow in my work. This healing journey has helped me overcome my small self, the source of my self-doubt, and re-connects me to the bigger truth of healing.
Thank you many times over.

It seemed like he created a rather inconvenient situation for us at the clinic but what happened as a result of this accident reminded me of the power of what we are doing at the clinic: the power of community.
After said patient left, Helen made an out of order sign with a sad face to put on the chair so that other patients wouldn't inadvertently sit on it and fall. Perhaps it was the strategically placed sad face, ... Read Full Story
