I get it, the thought of needles can be kinda scary for a lot of people. I won't lie to you I was scared too in the beginning. We all have preconditioned experiences as children going to the doctors to get our shots, which are not the fondest childhood memories.
First time patients are concerned that acupuncture needles will feel like the injections at the doctor's office. Believe me, they won't. Acupuncture uses hair-thin, flexible needles that you will either hardly feel or feel a slight pinch or pressure when being inserted. When the needles are gently stimulated it will produce a unique sensation that oriental medicine calls de Qi. Patients describe this sensation as heavy, achy pressure, or spreading, traveling feeling. You may also feel an electrical sensation moving up, down, or both along the meridian pathways. Patients find these sensations deeply satisfying and intriguing. Most importantly, patients leave feeling deeply relaxed mentally and physically. Since it actually promotes deeeeep relaxation, it is very common to fall asleep during treatment......Zzzzz
In this video I am giving myself a treatment (please do not try this at home unless by a licensed practitioner).
Would I do this to myself before I start my day early in the morning as I prepare to meditate for 29 minutes (the amount of time Qi circulates throughout the entire body once) if it was scary and painful? I think not! This sets the tone for the rest of my day and it is amazing. I am calm yet energized and ready for my day!
