Episode Details

What do Bruce Springsteen, Queen Latifa and Dizzy Gillespie have to do with Chinese medicine?

Barry Danielian has made his living as a professional musician. But at an age when most people are content rolling with their groove from decades of development, Mr Danielian has followed his muse to the next chapter of life. Music and martial arts lead him to acupuncture school where he’s now coming down the home stretch of his education. 

Both acupuncture and music require a flexible mind and heart that are rooted in solid fundamentals. It’s not surprising that we often use the metaphor of playing jazz when doing an acupuncture treatment. Both require the ability to be present, attuned and effortlessly flexible from moment to moment. 

Listen in to this conversation on how we take everything with us as we move into new phases of life and putting our heart into our work is an essential ingredient to living a life with meaning and creativity.
