Episode Six: How Did We Get Here?

raymondj

The Small Intestine is a highway and sometimes when traveling we ask, how did we get here? Episode 6 is is live.

A small episode in honor of the illustrious Small Intestine. Some say the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach, but the Small Intestine may be the real gatekeeper. Sifting and sorting to determine what is true and allowed to pass. A highway that can take us all through the body, but especially good for shoulder and neck pain. Shiatsu therapist Raymond and acupuncturist Billy talk about how they use the channel in their work.
