Evolving Knowledge

By

Medical Acupuncture is a constantly evolving field, where scientific research is expanding in both depth and academic rigour. The growing body of evidence reinforces its role in modern medicine, making continuous learning not just beneficial — but essential. Advancements in research bring new insights, refine techniques, and introduce innovative approaches to treatment.

Recognising the importance of staying up to date, I have spent the past few weeks participating in several online seminars on Medical Acupuncture. These events provided a wealth of material, covering the latest findings, refined methodologies, and evolving perspectives. Reviewing this extensive content has been both intellectually stimulating and professionally enriching.

Among the key takeaways were newly identified acupuncture points and updated somatotopies, reflecting the ever-expanding understanding of the body's response to needling. This practical dimension of medical acupuncture has always intrigued me, particularly in the area of clinical pain management. The precision required in selecting the right points and techniques for each individual case highlights the sophisticated nature of this medical practice.

What becomes increasingly clear is that Traditional Chinese Medicine is anything but static. Far from being a fixed system of ancient knowledge, it continues to evolve, adapting to new research, integrating modern medical insights, and refining its applications. This ongoing transformation reinforces its relevance in contemporary healthcare, offering valuable solutions for patient care.

Engaging with the latest developments not only enhances clinical practice but also deepens appreciation for the complexity and adaptability of this field. It is a reminder that medicine, in all its forms, is a continuous journey of discovery, refinement, and growth.

Subtle Daily Happiness

By
Happiness is a landscape hidden in the details. It does not arrive with trumpets, but in whispers: a ray of sunlight slipping through the window, the scent of morning coffee, the hush before a burst of laughter. We live in an age that mistakes happiness for grandeur, as if it depended on spectacular achievements or material possessions. Yet, its essence lies in the opposite—in the ability to notice what is already there, nearly invisible, yet full of meaning. There is an irony in this. While we chase ambitious goals—promotions, travels, recognition—we overlook what the philosopher Epicurus called “simple pleasures”: a conversation with a friend, the joy of an unhurried meal, the quiet sense of belonging when watching the sunset. Neuroscience reinforces this idea: small moments of connection or contemplation trigger neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, responsible for our sense of well-being. Happiness, then, is not a destination, but a way of walking. Part of its subtlety l...

On Loyalty and the Quiet Companionship of Pippen

By
I have a cosmopolitan friend who, by the mercy of chance — that discreet and impartial arbiter of destinies — was born in Serbia. Industrious beyond measure, he treats work not merely as obligation but as a quiet philosophy, a means of aligning oneself with the silent order of things. And he is a companion of a rare kind: steadfast, discerning, and, above all, loyal. His name is Pippen. We first crossed paths in the now-vanished days of Google+ — that fleeting agora where, for a moment, the world’s geeks entertained the gentle delusion that they might, in time, inherit the Earth. It was an age of bright aspiration, tinged with naïveté, yet marked by a peculiar fellowship that transcended all borders and conventions. Among Pippen’s many virtues, loyalty stands pre-eminent. Not the clamorous, performative loyalty so fashionable in this restless age, but the quieter, unwavering kind — the loyalty of one who stays. It is revealed not in grand gestures but in small, consistent a...

The Light of Goodness

By
Goodness does not move in secrecy, nor does it weave intricate plans to assert itself. It does not conspire because it does not need to. It does not manipulate, does not calculate, does not seek advantage. It simply exists — and in existing, it transforms. Goodness does not force, does not impose. It does not seek to convince through rhetoric or demand adherence. Instead, it inspires. It is found in the quiet dignity of an honest action, in the clarity of a decision made without expectation of return. It does not need recognition to be real. It moves without urgency, but its presence is undeniable. Yet goodness is not passive. It is not a surrender to complacency or an invitation to be trampled. It does not dissolve into abstraction or hesitate in the face of difficulty. Goodness has weight, presence, substance. It is an active force — a choice, deliberate and renewed, moment by moment. And because it does not conspire, goodness is freedom. It does not bind, does not confin...
