Japanese Acupuncture

Japanese Acupuncture Dedicated to celebrating health and well being, Japanese Acupuncture embodies caring attention with the highest standard. Frank Aoi feels right at home.

The secret of good health is in a balance of the mind and body. Western science has finally been catching up with evidence which suggests mental health impacts physical wellbeing. Japanese Acupuncture excels in achieving the goal, and in so doing, rediscovering a healing power of our mind and body. Located in the Downtown Phoenix Arts District in the Alta Phoenix Lofts, Y. Prior to becoming an acu

puncturist, Frank attended San Francisco Art Institute, studying painting and photography. He worked at De Young Museum, published two books of his art photography then went on to own contemporary art galleries in both Santa Fe, NM and New York City.. His own health issues led him to the healing powers of acupuncture, as well as massage, craniosacral therapy, and reiki. Frank holds a Diplomat of Oriental Medicine from NCCAOM (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture). He is licensed in Arizona and New Mexico. What Is Acupuncture? Acupuncture has over 2000 years of history with clinically proven medical results. It is based on empirical studies on human bodies, and is not based on mysticism or philosophy. Its concept, the balance of Yin & Yang, or the homeostasis of polar opposites, has not changed. Acupuncture points used thousands of years ago are still used today. Acupuncture does not have a similar anatomy to Western science, instead it has tested effective functions. The major difference between acupuncture and Western science is that acupuncture treats the body as a whole. Sterile and disposal needles are gently inserted in the body along the acupuncture energetic channels, called meridians. Japanese Acupuncture technique is non-invasive and painless to many.

Migraine headache is NOT in the head!!!
This is exactly where the western medicine fails, not knowing the cause of anything.......

Migraine headache is ALWAYS the dysfunction of the liver and the gallbladder, affecting the digestion. By the way, migraine headache is rather easy treatment for acupuncturist.
Go figure😄

I wrote about this before, but just in case some people didn’t really understand, I write it again

….for ever becoming, but never IS
Schopenhauer

Break the “Never”, and experience the “IS”.

About the experience, here is a zen story for you to remember:

A peasant truly wanted to become a monk, so he begged a master to accep him
as a disciple. Master said to him, “I will accept you as my student, but you must follow me to my humble temple.” At his temple, master brought him to a small room. It was empty except a scroll hanging on the wall. Master said to the peasant, “Tell me the meaning of this scroll, and if you understand, I’ll make you my disciple.” On the scroll was an ink panting of a tired and hagged peasant, sitting on a tree stump, his tired eyes gazing the ground, contemplating as if he was in trance.
Peasant looked at it and looked at it, and a day passed by. Master opened the door and asked “Do you understand?” Peasant disappointingly said “No”. He kept looking at it and looking at it. Two more days passed, and on the third day, master opened the door and asked, “ Do you understand?” To this, peasant replied “No.” He was extremely disappointed and said to the master, “I don’t understand the meaning of this scroll, but one thing I can relate is that he looks as hungry as I am!” Upon hearing this, the master said “I accept you as my disciple.”

The lesson is that something in this world needs to be experienced: no amounts of books and knowledge or anyone else can teach you. Only when you experience the True Self, you know that no amounts of words can explain the Truth. (Remember a meaning is a “concept”, therefore it has many answers but no solutions.”

Only way to know your True Self, which is the “IS” of Schopenhauer, is to break the “Never”.

Good luck.

Drink water as the best medication.

Very effective natural supplements are coming as soon as I test them on myself.

On anxiety: failure to detach from thoughts and emotions, and by doing so, living in the past and the future. Set your mind with the present tense (“I do, I don’t, not I did or I will do) and truly live in the Here-and-NOW.

A mountain is nourished by healthy trees, and a nation is nourished by healthy (and the right) people.

In the past 20 years, I only took one day off for sickness (I had a very bad dentist and my immune system was totally comprised).
Next week, I take two days off for the first time in 20 years for health check ups.

What is this January about?

Most of my patients I treated came in for preferal nerve symptoms such as numbness and tingling sensations of feet, arms, and hands. Sometimes people come like a wave claiming for same symptoms but not a whole month.

Most people die at the 1st and 2nd chakra levels: eat, p**p, and have s*x, mission accomplished!

Can you raise your conscious level at least to the heart chakra?

Can you open up the Ajna and attain wisdom? Can you break the dualism?

Most of all, can you attain the Peace of Mind and open up the Sahasrara?

Very difficult proposition, but you already are at the Sahasrara level, you just don’t recognize it.

The Awakening is to know that you are already the Awaken One. The “IS” part of Schopenhaur’s “For ever becoming, but never IS”.

One drop of tear, when your heart is truly open, will make you realize what IS.

Namaste😇😎🤯👍

MLB World Series Game 6 and Game 7: Regarding Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitching.
How did he win the series and how he got the MVL.
The Series was no doubt one of the best ever. There were so many incredible plays in those 7 games. But how Yamamoto got away with many crises? Blue Jay could have won so many times. Only thing they needed to do was to have a fly ball and could have won!

There are too many tails to tell for generations.
So how Yamamoto had the composure and will to win? We could not know what would happen even 5 seconds in the future! Win or lose, we were constantly on the edge.

What Yamamoto did, aside from his strong will to win, he focused on “here and now”. He won because he was never influenced by the future and the past. His thought was never “what shall or should I do?” Only choice he had was “just DO”. He decided on a spliter because he knew it was effective against A. Kirk and he knew that would mostly likely end up with a ground ball, and simply executed by focusing on NOW.

He also had the highest awareness of proprioception than any MLB player. It’s all about balancing. If you look at his training, it is about the balancing of all sequences of pitching. Incrediblely deciplined indeed.

So if he can do it, we can. You can conquer depression, anxiety, balanced and centered physically and emotionally, etc, etc, if you focus on NOW and the balanced health.

Good luck.

Today a lady came in after an auto accident for neck and lower pain. After months of seeing doctors pretty much Monday through Friday every week including twice a week physical therapy, I took the pain out and she cried. And I said “Happy holidays!”😄🦃🎄

Regarding the True Self, it is the “IS” of “that for ever becomes but never IS”. Something never changing, something absolutely concrete and never moving. Understand that this world is not what you think it is. It is the part of “I am in this world but not OF it.”

When you understand “not of it”, when you understand yourself is the “IS”, when you truly understand WHAT you are of Being, then your life is on the road to the Peace of Mind.

Know where we all suffer as human. Inquire your mind deeper. Do not live your life at the first and second chakra. There are lot more higher levels of consciousness. Open up the Third Eye, your Wisdom, then allow to see what is beyond Sahasrara.

Good luck and namaste.

“that which for ever becomes but never IS.”

Opening up the Third Eye of the Ajna is YOU take the stance of “Neither”.

Fall brings many wondering people and lost souls to my clinic. To this, I must say know where we all suffer. Inquire your mind and search out the cause of pain we incur.
Know what we are part of the True Self.
Only YOU can attain the Peace of Mind.
Nobody including myself can teach you that.

Namaste and good luck.

The body never lies.
All symptoms, including what you think in the head (this is how hypnosis works) must appear somewhere in the body.
Without a proper palpation skill of the body, how does anyone know about you in 3 to 5 min conversation with vital signs?
Yet, most of the people are happy getting drugs according to the conversation.

I had a person came in today saying taking 2000 mg of metformin daily. This is a slow su***de! You cannot be this much ignorant and uneducated, gullibly taking the drug just because a doctor ordered. Just like foods and drinks, know what you are talking in. Good luck.
