Chinese New Year of the Snake = Renewal for Health On Point!

Yesterday marked the Chinese New Year, kicking off the Year of the Black Water Snake in Chinese astrology. Snake years tend to bring unexpected transformations to our lives. Even while there may not be many outward manifestations of change, there will be plenty of activity beneath the surface.

Snakes have quite complicated and varied symbolism, depending on personal experience.
Snakes, as on the medical emblem, may signal an especially healing time. Since snakes are found in dark places and water, some believe that this particular year of the snake represents magical forces, our own primal energies or instincts.

The snake swallowing itself is related to a cycle, the wheel, the Great Mother archetype. In many cultures across the world, including our own, the symbol of serpents are associated with healing. The ancient Mayan goddess, IxChel, is incredibly powerful. She is a symbol of birth, motherhood and healing.

Snakes especially represent renewal or resurrection since they shed their skin. This week at Health On Point, we would like to announce to our community that soon we too shall be shedding our skin.

Beginning March 1, Health On Point will be moving! Our new home is 325 E. Washington Street (.1 miles away - or a 3 minute walk according to Google Maps!). This is the beautiful Commerce building at Washington and Gilbert - just opposite Gabes. We look forward to sharing the work, transformation, and love we are putting into our new clinic space. This is a wonderful change for us - and YOU! We'd love to hear your input about what you need to complete your own personal renewal and growth in 2013. 

Of course this week includes a very special program for our Facebook fans. In celebration of Chinese New year, Valentine's Day - AND our upcoming move, our transformative essential oil blend, Renewal, is priced at only $5 (that's half off)! Stop by - pick up a bottle for yourself, and a friend (or just yourself).

Thank you for your continued support during this year of the Water Snake. We are embracing this year as a time of Renewal for all of us in the Health On Point community. Gung Hay Fat Choy!
