Greetings!

Pumpkins (and colorful squashes of all sizes and shapes) take center stage in October - as decorations, carved into jack-o-lanterns, and on the menu for dinner.

We love the brilliance of Autumn colors.The trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let things go.

In the picture above, of the red-leafed maple, take a moment and notice the reflection in the water. Part of the esoteric metaphysical properties of water is its ability for reflection. Like a mirror it is capable of reflecting back our superficial aspects. The longer you gaze upon the water it starts to reveal what lies beneath - an aspect of the unknown.

Although Autumn is related to the Element of metal, it is a time to start to draw inwards - a time to gather information to contemplate later. This is the precursor to Winter that has an aspect of hibernation and internal focus.

As we move fully into Autumn, what can you let go of that is no longer serving you?

What would it take to choose something different?

Best Wishes & Good Health,
CCHW Team

Illness Reminder

If you are sick or starting to feel sick, please reschedule your appointment. Late cancellation fees will not be incurred for such cancellations. If you are exposed to or test positive for COVID-19, let us know; we'll proceed according to guidelines in effect at that time.

There are a number of low immune patients in our practice. We strive to minimize exposure for all, and thank you for your consideration.

If you get COVID-19…

We recommend two things

First, be prepared. It is important to have something on hand to help decrease the viral load as quickly as possible and help prevent more severe symptoms. Contact us if you are interested in discussing a "just in case" formula to keep in your medicine cabinet.

Second, at the first sign of symptoms, follow the advice in these two blog posts:
