Welcome to my blog!

I'm an acupuncturist, teacher, fertility specialist, patient centered advocate, mom, activist and more! This blog is a place for me to write down the things on my mind, the things I discuss over and over, and the things I find helpful, interesting, and inspiring all in the hope that someone else out there, maybe YOU, will find some of these things to be helpful, interesting and inspiring too. I love learning, I love sharing, and I am passionate about helping others lead more balanced, fertile, and healthy lives - while trying to do the same myself. So here goes... The Blogging Life...

Fertility Retreat - Mindfulness for the Ruminating Mind

Below is a preview of February's focus for the mini acupuncture retreat I'm leading :)  Thanks for reading & sharing where you see fit! - Nicole Lange Lic. Ac. MAOM Life Healing Life Acupuncture Clinic
“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky.” -Thich Nhat Hanh
Have you ever thought: There is no WAY I could ever meditate, my mind is too busy, crazy, active and wild. I only feel like I’m failing when I try to meditate. I feel frustrated just thinking about it!...  Many people imagine meditation as sitting completely still with one’s mind clear from thoughts. but the February retreat will prove that this is simply not true! 
The February 4th Life Healing Life support group & acupuncture retreat will offer a good ‘ole Minnesotan smorgasbord of meditation options, from moving, walking, eating, cooking and cleaning, to body & breath awareness and quieting the mind.  In addition to receiving acupuncture, you will spend time trying several of the many many options out there and will discover which work best for YOU & how to incorporate them into your daily life to reduce stress, promote fertility and feel more focused, balanced and calm.
I hope you will join me, share your experience, feel support and community, and take some time to nourish your body, mind and spirit!  It is a great way to start your weekend.
Space is limited, please email Nicole (nicole@lifehealinglife.com) to reserve your space by Noon on Friday, February 3rd. 
There is still room for the January 7th retreat on practicing gratitude, email if you’d like to attend 
Wear comfortable clothes and bring a blanket and/or yoga mat and pillow as well as a journal if you wish (not required).  ALL stages of the journey are welcome.  TTC naturally, with ART, 3rd party, adopting, unsure what your next step is... acupuncture pro or newbie... you will be supported and at home here!
