People diagnosed with fibromyalgia experience a wide range of symptoms including but not limited to chronic muscular pain, aching and stiffness, fatigue, sleep disturbances, anxiety and depression. It has been recognized as an illness and a cause of disability by the American Medical Association since 1987 but few treatments are available using western medical approaches. Fortunately Chinese medicine is often useful in treating both the symptoms and root cause of this illness. Come and learn how acupuncture and natural herbal medicines can offer safe and effective relief from the challenges of this disturbing ailment. Neil Weinberg is a licensed acupuncturist and holds a Diplomate Certification in Herbal Medicine. He provides wellness care at the Integrative Medicine Center in Ithaca.

How to Balance Yin and Yang <br> </b>Wednesday, October 20, 5:30-7 PM<br> Class size limited to 15 participants.<br> The philosophy of Yin and Yang is the foundation of Chinese Medicine, both in theory and application. Learning to mindfully apply these principles as we engage in every day life can help us to feel more healthy, energetic, and in harmony with our surroundings. So many of us feel chronically busy, almost as though we just can't stop. Why is it so hard to really relax? From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, in order to maintain stability in the outer world as well as in the body, there must be a healthy balance of both Yin and Yang activities. For many of us these days, the dynamic is clearly more heavily weighted toward an excess of Yang, or habitual activity, which over time can lead to a significant depletion of Yin. This class will explore the following questions:<br> · What are Yin and Yang?<br> · How did things get so Yang?<br> · The Importance of Preserving Yin<br> · How to Cultivate our Yin<br> Certain supplements and foods can be used to help nourish the Yin aspect of the body. Amanda will highlight these at the end of the class, followed by a brief tour through Greenstar to locate the foods and supplements mentioned in the class. Amanda Lewis is nationally board-certified and licensed in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. She graduated from Southwest Acupuncture College in Colorado and has seven years of experience in both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Instructor Jayalalita will discuss The Work of Byron Katie and facilitate volunteers through the process. She will also lead an exercise on paper using a shorthand version of the inquiry process to dispel negative attachment to limiting and painful thoughts.
