Inner Journeys
Dear Patient,
I love when I’m removing someone’s needles and they tell me about a great insight they had during their treatment. An idea for a book. A solution to a problem. An epiphany. But it’s not really the acupuncture that does this.
The needles invite you to step through the veil that separates your everyday existence from your inner realm. When you’re sitting in the chair, relaxed and comfortable, with nothing to do, there are many places you can go. The needles are in their spots and qi is buzzing through your meridians. Where will your inner journey take you?
It’s good to give ourselves the psychic space to wander. We may discover a hidden oasis, or get blissfully lost in a forest, or unearth buried treasure. We can untangle a knot, or follow a thread, or simply let it all go. But only if we take time to retreat from the ever-present demands on our conscious attention, and allow ourselves to journey into the unknown.
Love and gratitude,
Your Acupuncturist
