The Peaceful Spirit Formula

So a few days ago, I went to visit my acupuncturist for my usual monthly appointment. It proceeded how it always does. I reported all of the symptoms I had been experiencing over the past few weeks and how I’d been feeling jittery and a bit fidgety as usual. She listened with genuine care and concern and checked my pulse to see what kind of mood my heart was in that day. I asked her how her little one was and she smiled as wide as a summer sunflower. Then a little box of magical needles came into sight and I knew it was time to prick away.

Afterwards, I felt a serenity so deep I thought that maybe she had injected me with a major tranquilizer this time. I was totally ‘Zenned’ out. But that isn’t even the most amazing thing that happened that day. My kindhearted acupuncturist gave me a little bottle of tan-colored herbs wrapped in the usual rose-colored label that it comes with and written so concisely and clearly on this label in the hues of deep forest green and subtle gold, were the words:

“Peaceful Spirit Formula.”

I still can’t believe it.

I felt like I had just won the Pennsylvania lottery million dollar jackpot. I mean after loads and loads of hard work on so many levels - spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, physically and so on - for the last four years (and I know it will continue for the rest of my life), a wonderfully wise woman with wavy, russet-colored hair had, at last, granted me a little bundle of Peace.

This is awesome.

I mean think about it. I no longer have to ingest bottles of “Tian Wan Bu Xin Dian,” “Bupleureum Root,” or “Pinellia & Magnolia Bark”, or even good old “Ginseng Longan.” I have finally been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize of Chinese Herbs.
