Ep. 25: Becoming a Curable Person, with Jason Moskovitz Notes from Your Acupuncturist: Conversations on Acupuncture, Alternative Medicine and Holistic Health
-
- Alternative Health
“I have recognized myself—as a professional, as a parent, as a partner—that the better I take care of myself, the more I can be present and connected to those that I care about.” -Jason Moskovitz, L.Ac.
One of the things I love about doing this podcast is reconnecting with people I knew years ago, seeing where life and practice has taken them, and hearing some of the wisdom they’ve accumulated in the decades since we first met.
Jason Moskovitz is one of those people. We both studied acupuncture at Yo San University in Los Angeles, and in our recent conversation he reminded me of an oft-repeated saying from one of our shared teachers, Master Hua-Ching Ni:
“There are no incurable diseases, only incurable people.”
And really, that’s what this episode is about: becoming a curable person.
Some of the highlights include:
1. Expanding our understanding of the concept of root and branch in Chinese Medicine, and why roots of disease often reach far beyond physiological dysfunction, and into a person’s life circumstances, genetics, history and community
2. Why relief from suffering is rooted in connection, and how to practice and cultivate connection through self-care
3. The importance of asking for help, moving through pain and discomfort, and being both a student and teacher
4. How meditation, movement and other self-care practices cultivate intuition, which Jason calls “a truth from inside your own being”
You’ll also hear about Jason’s journey of incorporating meditation and movement practices into his own life to show up and be more present as a parent, a partner, and a practitioner. I loved this conversation with Jason, and I hope it can serve as a reminder that we all have the potential to be curable humans.
