The Basics: A Toolbox for Life

If you are interested, if you are curious how we do this life business, then we must start somewhere near the beginning I guess. What are the assumptions? What are the basics? How do I get you to accompany me on this journey?

It's been my observation that it is the proclivity of acupuncture to shake things up. You wouldn't be here if you didn't want something different, if you didn't want to perturb the status quo; maybe it's to have that hurting in your shoulder go away, or be less angry at life, or see things generally in a different way. Whatever it is, be very clear in yourself: acupuncture will take all your stuff and put it on a tray and then shake the dickens out of it like nobody's business so that it all floats to the top and then sinks at varying rates.

We made these precious trays of foodstuffs for my daughter's wedding, each section having berries or nuts or flower petals and it was going great right up to the part where I managed to flip one of the trays over during transport from the car to the hall. The plastic wrap covering the tray kept everything from spilling but it was all mixed together. Same with acupuncture - all your anxieties, aches and pains, emotional upsets together.

If you think acupuncture treatment is limited to treating your sore shoulder, you're very much mistaken. It will include everything: body, mind a spirit. If you don't plan to extend change into these areas, then don't read any further.
