May Updates – The First Vessel
Happy Mother’s Day!
Whether you are a mother, you have a mother, or you simply carry that nurturing force within you this day is a moment to pause and honor something ancient and sacred in all of us.
I also want to share something that has been filling my heart these past months. I have been going through an extensive and truly life changing mentorship in classical Chinese medicine as it was practiced in ancient times, rooted in the lineage of Jeffrey Yuen, a Daoist master and living treasure of this tradition. We are working with all of the channel systems, all 66 of them: the primary channels, the extraordinary vessels, the luo channels, the divergent channels, the sinew channels. It is a deep and humbling study of what it means to be human: how we grow, how we carry our story, and how we find our way back to ourselves.
This medicine does not ask what is wrong with you. It asks: who are you becoming, and what has interrupted that becoming?
One of the extraordinary vessels we work with is the Chong Mai, the Penetrating Vessel. It is one of the first to form at conception and it governs the first seven years of our life, the time we earn to breathe, to digest, to connect with others. It is during this window that a mother’s presence matters most. Her warmth, her attunement, her love quite literally shapes this vessel. Even if that connection was interrupted, or did not develop as fully as it could have through life circumstances, loss, or the long thread of ancestral patterns, this vessel can always be nourished again. That is the beauty of this medicine. It is never too late to come home to your root.
We live in a time where ancient wisdom is more needed than ever. The channels, the vessels, the maps our ancestors drew of the human journey are alive, and they are speaking. I hope this little window into what I am studying lights something in you too.
Thank you for your support. Much love,
Giuliana Gasparin L.Ac, LMT
