Dear Patient,
Sometimes a patient will tell me that they start to relax and feel better before the first needle even goes in.
This is because the work of healing has already begun.
The work of healing happens when you settle your body into a comfortable seat and allow your muscles to let go. It happens when you roll up your sleeves and pant legs, ready to accept healing touch. It happens when you take a deep breath and put away your phone. It happens as soon as you schedule an appointment. It happens the moment you ask for help.
The work of healing has no starting point.
Healing doesn’t begin or end.
Healing ebbs and flows, expands and contracts, lies in dormancy for a while and then moves in all directions.
That’s why you start to relax and feel better before the first needle goes in. Because you are already healing.
Love and gratitude,
Your Acupuncturist
I love this Alexa. Thank you!
