What is acupuncture like you ask?
I had my first experience with acupuncture today! Deganit (who also teaches my intuitive tools class and does intuitive readings) is training to be an acupuncturist and already works with clients to help heal them through this method. I have a cold and she happened to bring her needles with her and generously spent some extra time with me to ‘needle’ me after our class today!
Basically they’re individually wrapped extremely thin needles (with some sort of casing). She puts them on various specific points on your body that are known to move energy and affect healing. For me this included one on each foot, one on each lower part of my legs, two on each hand (different spots of course), one at the middle of the top of my forehead, one above each eyebrow and two above my lips.
She’d put it against my skin, sometimes tap the skin near it, and then tap the top of the thing to have the needle penetrate the skin into the right spot. It mostly didn’t hurt in the slightest. Only a few spots, on the side of my left hand near my thumb (which she said releases heat which is why that spot tends to hurt a little, on the top of my forehead (that hurt the most – though it wasn’t horrible or anything), and the ones above my lips pinched a tiny bit.
Then I just laid there with them in for about 25 minutes. I could feel my sinuses clear up a little and felt some energy move/release a few times in my forehead, feet and hands.
I also notice that my eyes have been less itchy since) which I’d mentioned was a habitual problem. Deggi said this may take more that one time to heal though. It would be AMAZING if I never had to deal with that again!
All in all it was a really good experience and I’m so curious to find out more about what accupuncture can do for you and the long or short term effects it’s capable of producing .
What experiences have you had with acupuncture?
