IN PRACTICE
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a form of medicine that originated in ancient China, and involves the insertion of hair-thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate and balance the flow of energy, known as "qi" 氣. According to Chinese medicine, a person's health is determined by the balance of qi, which flows through channels or pathways called meridians.
Having been practiced for more than 2,000 years, it has developed over a large geographical area and has developed many varities of traditions and lineages, all of which have their own strengths and weaknesses. Some common styles/traditions include: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Classical Five Element Acupuncture, Japanese, Korean, Stems and Branches, Auricular, dry-needling and electroacupuncture. Due to this, it can be said that acupuncture, like Western Medicine, can be considered more of a world-medicine, as it continues to develop alongside a continually evolving human experience and is now practiced all over the Earth.
THE PROCESS
In spiritual traditions the process of "healing" is compared to the act of being carried from one side of a shore to another. On the surface level, one side of these shores could be understood as being "sickness" or "suffering" and the other side could be "peace" or "health". The arrival at your intended destination would be seen as the completion of a journey, and a success in regards to your desired treatment outcome.
There is a deeper meaning to this metaphor, and that is whereby one side of the shore represents all of the subtler and unconscious aspects of ourselves that refrain us from moving forward and evolving. In this instance, one side of the shore represents all of our habits and patterns that keep us holding onto the past, and the other side represents all of the parts of our higher selves that we wish to embrace for the sake of experiencing more wholeness and self-authorship.
I am passionate about supporting clients through any desired treatment process, and have a particular expertise using acupuncture in guiding clients through suffering and into deeper stages of awareness.
