Circadian comes from the combination of circle (circa) of one day (diem). All organs in the body are staggered time wise as they reach peak performance and wind down 12 hours later to shift focus of their energy on their own regeneration. This chart shows the lull pattern of the organs. Organs may show problems or pathologies more clearly at these times during the day. For instance, if you are stirred awake at 3am your body may be telling you to get your lungs checked out. Do it. You may be surprised by how chatty your body can be.

The Bodies exhibit is a must see if you want to get the best glimpse possible of what a sarkel (deceased) human body looks like. Although they have simplified a lot to cater to the masses it still is a must see for anyone interested in what is going on inside themselves. According to the release there are “22 whole-body specimens and 260 additional organ and partial-body specimens.” Having seen this exhibit in LA and now NY, the anatomy revealed is enlightening. The scientists use a plastination technique to turn a human body to a polymer/rubber matrix preserving the general anatomy of the body. Tickets are $22.00 for adults and the exhibit is at the Fulton Street Market, New York City.

Wow, is my only response to this experience. Kate put 80 needles in my face, ears, and head and boy does it make a difference. Though I felt and looked like Hellraiser, my face feels significantly tighter and I felt fantastic thanks to the extra 25 needles she put in my arms and legs to stimulate my liver and help me detox. Probably wasn’t smart to come in hungover but an unexpected holiday party the night before and the peer pressure of Jameson shots did me in. Fortunately, Kate fixed me up nicely. Thanks!

The 2nd part of the Center for Structural Wellness Facial Rejuvenation series is a massage that is an ancient Chinese medicinal therapy aimed at increasing the health, vitality and aesthetic appearance of the face. It is perfect for those looking to maintain the health of their appearance without degenerative effects of botulinum toxin type A (Botox) and surgery. The core of the treatment is a comprehensive face, head and neck acupressure massage with a specific focus on meridians and pressure points that rejuvenate the face.

Muscles of the face that benefit from the lifting nature of this massage:

This treatment is different from traditional facial treatments in that it goes well beyond skin deep. The treatment tones, cleanses and nourishes the underlying musculature of the face in a way that no other treatment can match. In addition, the massage is coupled with the application of a Chinese herb infused creams and a facial mask. Gua Sha is used to help iron out the deep connective tissue wrinkles that exist on our face with a safely harvested Ram’s horn. Results can be noticed immediately but a series of 3 to 7 treatments is recommended. This treatment is exclusively offered at the Center for Structural Wellness as part of a series that also combines Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation and face and cranial Structural Integration that the goal is to make your face as healthy as possible. This therapy is performed on a massage table with the client wearing loose fitting clothing.
