Acupuncture is a balance between art and science... Alex Grey has very accurately included the acupuncture channels and points here.

The human anatomy is a microcosm of the many systems and levels of order in nature. By seeing and identifying with the vital, psychic and spiritual energies of the subtle bodies the viewer may broaden their identity beyond the physical body and provide for the influx of healing energies from a more perfect spiritual template. Perhaps this is a way that art may directly stimulate a subtle healing response. By using the visual metaphor of transparency my paintings allude to the process of becoming transparent to the sacred ground. Transparency also allows one to point to dimensions parallel to and interpenetrating the visible phenomenal world, such as the lower demonic forces and higher luminous angelic presences or deity figures. The visual allusion to these different realms is what I mean by a multidimensional perspective.

Quitting smoking can be an arduous journey, but it is one that can greatly improve a person's health and well-being....

While there are various methods available to help individuals overcome their ni****ne addiction, acupuncture has emerged as a complementary therapy that may assist in smoking cessation. This article explores the potential benefits of acupuncture in aiding individuals on their journey to quit smoking.

Research studies have indicated that acupuncture may be beneficial in supporting smoking cessation efforts. Here are some ways acupuncture may help:

1. Ni****ne cravings reduction: Acupuncture treatments are believed to help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with ni****ne addiction. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, the body's natural endorphins may be released, helping to alleviate cravings and promote relaxation.

2. Stress and anxiety reduction: Many individuals turn to smoking as a way to cope with stress and anxiety. Acupuncture is known to have a calming and relaxing effect on the body, potentially reducing stress levels and managing anxiety, which are common triggers for smoking.

3. Detoxification and cleansing: Acupuncture is thought to assist in detoxifying the body by improving blood circulation and promoting the elimination of toxins. This cleansing process may help the body recover from the harmful effects of smoking.

4. Psychological support: Quitting smoking involves not only physical dependence but also psychological addiction. Acupuncture sessions provide individuals with a supportive and nurturing environment, allowing them to address emotional and psychological aspects of their smoking habit.

5. Individualized treatment: Acupuncture treatments for smoking cessation are tailored to each individual's specific needs. Acupuncturists consider factors such as the person's smoking history, overall health, and personal goals to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses their unique challenges.

While acupuncture should not be considered a standalone solution for quitting smoking, it can serve as a valuable adjunct therapy to conventional smoking cessation methods. By addressing physical and psychological aspects, acupuncture may help reduce cravings, manage stress, and provide much-needed support during the quitting process.

Remember, quitting smoking is a journey that requires determination, support, and a comprehensive approach. With the right tools and mindset, individuals can overcome their ni****ne addiction and embark on a healthier and smoke-free future.

It's not the things in life that cause you problems, it's the story that you tell yourself and the judgements you make about them.

"There is no more significant or fundamental stagnation in life, than what comes from having forgotten our true self".

Take a pause from your busy life and think:

Who are you?
Why are you here?
What are you doing about it?

As a Five Element Acupuncturist, I believe in treating the whole person, not just the physical symptoms they present with.

My goal is to help my patients achieve balance and harmony within their body, mind, and spirit.

Each person is unique therefore, I tailor a treatment plan to the individual’s specific needs and concerns.

If you have struggled to answer the above 3 questions, don't worry most people can't; reach out, send a message and we can talk about how Five Element Acupuncture can help.

“It is no longer possible to say that the effectiveness of acupuncture can be attributed to the placebo effect or that it is useful only for musculoskeletal pain.”

STEPHEN JANZ (2017)

The recommendation of acupuncture for many patients is a safe, cost-effective, and evidence-based recommendation.
