On my radar for some time has been a different type of acupuncture. I signed up and have been busy learning it. The style that is called Neoclassical acupuncture.
It uses 6 elements instead of 5, which is the Traditional Chinese Medicine. TCM takes the 5 elements of Earth, Fire, Metal, Wood and Water and tries to create harmony within the cycle. 6 elements adds Heaven into the mix or Ether. It really has been an amazing learning curve which I’m so happy to use on my clients.
Neoclassical acupuncture is a palpation based technique that trains the practitioner feel the abdomen for tender points or tightness. These tight areas show blockages of the meridian lines and imbalances of the 6 elements. Certain body acupuncture points can free up the meridian blockages and balance out the 6 element cycle. What is really blowing my mind and it’s something that a lot of people cannot connect to, is I’ve been activating these acupuncture points by using my fingers and my mind. Moving towards doing a treatment without needles. It’s really ‘out there’ and I’m not sure I understand it altogether, but for people that don’t like needles or spiritual based clients they are loving these treatments. Its a real advance towards what our minds can do for each other and heal, maybe even one day distally.
At the moment, I’m still mixing my skills of KORE therapy alongside this treatments, and the results have been fantastic.
