Acutonics Institute of Integrative Medicine, located in Llano New Mexico, is pleased to announce the launch of their new website on June 16, 2015 to continue to spread the popularity of Acutonics nationally and internationally.

The Wu Project was founded by Senior Acutonics faculty member Dr. Alicia Villamarin and her colleague Dr. Maria Romero to bring healthcare and hope to impoverished areas of the world. They recently completed their first mission to Upper Mustang, Nepal.

This article introduces us to Goat energy and places the Goat in context in mythologies across cultures. As Carey and Franklin point out, deep transformation is possible in a Goat year. Why would that be? Perhaps because we learn an important, and somewhat counter-intuitive, life lesson from the Goat. Goats are strong and persistent, but they tend always to push forward. Persistence is linked with success, but sometimes we have to stop pushing, stop butting our heads against obstacles, and let go of our obstinacy and resistance, in order to move forward and achieve our goals. The New Year is a good time to examine how we deal with life. If you find that you are struggling to go forward and seem to be getting nowhere, think about the Goat and back off a little. Having a little room to maneuver can sometimes make all the difference.

This article is about information on working with the energy of the moon, which has given us some dramatic displays in recent months – how often do we see a blue moon and then a blood moon! Carey and Franklin tell us the legend of Chang’e, the Goddess of the Moon in Chinese lore, and they explain the Autumn festival and the exchange of mooncakes. Finally, they give us a self-treatment protocol with tuning forks for the Lungs and Large Intestine.

This articles explores the myth of the Chinese Snake Goddess, Nü Gua, who created humans, restored order to the world after the flood, populated the earth, brought the five phases back into harmony, regulated the movement of all celestial bodies, restored the seasons, and created musical instruments. In a separate feature, Carey provides a discussion of KID 15 (Zhong Zhu), a point of balance between yin and yang, very appropriate for the energetics of this moment in time.

This article takes the symbol of the snake and the myth of the snake goddess and looks at the role of archetypes and myths in both Western and East Asian Medicine. While much of her discussion is based in Jungian psychology, she also draws in the cross-cultural ideas and the creation of the myths to give us a grounded sense of what the Year of the Snake could facilitate for us energetically.

This article explores strategies to deepen our connection to the natural world, with a particular focus on the archetypal significance, correspondences, and cross-cultural symbolism of the tree. An exploration of trees, ecopsychology, depth psychology, and Jungian archetypes are examined in the context of East Asian Medicine, and Acutonics.

This article explores the correlation between the stress to our planet and the rise in human distress and stress-related illnesses. Specific approaches that are designed to reduce the chronic stress response and improve health are presented. These techniques can be used with acupuncture, acupressure, or through the application of tuning forks to acupuncture points. Specific emphasis is placed on the use of simple point protocols including the Three Treasures and Buddha's Triangle, the therapeutic use of Acutonics® Gem Tips, is also introduced.

In celebration of the Earth Issue of this Journal we are sharing excerpts from our forthcoming book Acutonics® From Galaxies to Cells: Planetary Harmony, Science, and Medicine. This new text for the Acutonics Healing System explores the science, myths, archetypes, and healing correspondences of the Planets and demonstrates through treatment protocols and case studies how these powerful energetics can be integrated into the practice of East Asian Medicine.
