Intention setting in the new year

By admin | Published January 4, 2021

It’s that time of year again: the time when many of us engage in the practice of setting a new year’s resolution.

Cleaning

Part of celebrating the Chinese New Year (February 19) involves cleaning. Traditionally, homes are cleaned before the New Year, but sweeping and dusting isn’t done until the third day after New Year out of fear that good fortune will be swept away. The floors can be swept, starting by brushing the dust and dirt towards the middle of the

How to Unhook Your Logical Brain and Gain New Insights on Last Year

By admin | Published January 6, 2014

You’ve probably heard of right-brained vs. left-brained activities.

Right-brained activities are creative, intuitive and subjective. Left-brained activities are linear, analytical and logical.

It has been a popular myth that people prefer right-brained or left-brained activities because they have a dominant side of the brain. It turns out that while certain activities are wired on one side of the

Through acupuncture, natural supplements and dietary recommendations provided by Dr. James Pedersen, my rheumatoid arthritis has been in remission for nine months. Prior to seeing Dr. Pedersen, I was having significantly painful knee flare ups every three months. Now I am not on any RA medications and I feel great.

I started seeing Jim Pedersen back in March after my first miscarriage. At every appointment, Mr. Pedersen took the time to listen to me and find out the best way to help my body prepare for a healthy pregnancy.

I was pain free, and headed to an already scheduled hip replacement. I healed so quickly from that surgery, (that was my sixth surgery ever), that the doctors and physical therapists were amazed. I attribute that to the acupuncture, which not only helped my pain go away, but... Read more »
