Reading of the Week

As Stephanie's patients know, she always has a reading of the week that she shares while people are resting with needles during their acupuncture sessions.  Many people have commented on how much they enjoy these readings and how the experience of being read to feels nourishing and cozy, evoking fond memories from childhood.  There are also many requests to write down the names of authors and books, so we thought we would begin keeping an audio log of the readings for each week here.

This first reading is one of Stephanie's favourites and she thinks everyone should hear it, so it is the first one she shares at all initial visits with her patients.

Our first reading is from a fabulous book called Loving Kindness, by Sharon Salzberg.

For all other readings, there is a new one each week and it is determined by what book Stephanie happens to be reading at the time.  She also pulls inspiration from readings and quotes she hears at the different yoga classes and meditation retreats she attends regularly.

Please enjoy!  And feel free to forward along a reading if you think someone you know might be interested as well.
