The best way to do Acupuncture is to practice it from the full sense of your own being. At the core, it’s energy work and being aligned with one’s own energy is certainly helpful. Also, the judgment that Acupuncture and Chinese herbs are alternative always makes me laugh. Pharmaceuticals are often based on herbs, which have been used for thousands of years. There’s nothing surprising about their effectiveness. I practice Acupuncture like a mechanic. There’s very little mystery in it outside of the everpresent mystery of life in general. It’s well documented that needles stimulate the body’s endogenous opioids, signal white blood cells to gather, interrupt cytokine inflammatory cycles. I often treat orthopedic conditions. I needle trigger points, muscle adhesions, attachments and muscle bellies using electricity. Everything about this is logical. I’m just an experienced mechanic. Your body is the vehicle. The energy is always a mystery no matter what type of medicine is involved. 🚗 (Photo of me driving my vehicle in Sonoma).
