Oftentimes, when our bodies and minds are worn down, healing those parts of ourselves involves re-balancing. A huge part of this is listening to your body and taking the time to pause and tune into your mind and spirit. When you do this, pain, stress, or imbalance can be seen as an invitation to realign, release, and restore harmony from within. 

In today's Part 2 episode, I continue my conversation with Dr. Yun Kim, former president and CEO of Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine. We explore the deeper layers of acupuncture and how this ancient practice continues to transform lives today. From calming the nervous system and easing anxiety, to improving sleep, circulation, and emotional wellbeing, Dr. Kim shares how acupuncture can help the body restore its healing power.
