ENERGY ROOM’S ACUPUNCTURE
Said to have existed for over 4,000 years,
there are many schools, approaches, methods, and even needle types, of
acupuncture. At ENERGY ROOM, the
greatest importance is placed on the “ki(chi),”“meridians,” and “meridian points”.
Ki(Chi) is a form of energy that
exists within the bodies of all living form, and Eastern medicine is based on
the concept that both ki(chi) and blood
continuously flows throughout the human body. Just like blood flows through the
arteries and veins, ki(chi) flows through the meridians. If the 2 flows are smooth and
balanced, then the housing body is in good health.
Meridians spread
out just like veins and arteries throughout the body, and not only are meridians pathways for the ki(chi), they also possess important “points” that can regulate the flow of the ki(chi), called meridian points. These meridian points, also called “acupuncture
points,” when stimulated by needles, have the effect of
enhancing the flow of ki(chi) within the relevant meridian(s).
Just as encouraging the blood flow of the
circulatory system does a human body good, enhancing the ki(chi) flow does a human body
good. In a healthy state, one’s blood flows from the top of the head down to the tips of toes
smoothly without stagnation, and in such a bodily state, ki(chi) is also flowing smooth and
strong.
As massaging stimulates the arteries and
veins and therefore encourages the blood to flow more smoothly, Acupuncture
stimulation on the meridian points
encourages the ki(chi) to
flow more smoothly throughout the body, and to become balanced as a whole. This is the essence of acupuncture
therapy here at ENERGY ROOM.
By “balancing and
fixing” the ki(chi) flow through acupuncture therapy in the above way, one
can experience the “wonders and mysteries of the Eastern
healing art of acupuncture”! “Oddly enough, I
actually am incredibly better,” “I feel
euphorically-energized,” “The painful area feels much
better, though the acupuncture needles never touched that site,”
are actual comments made after an acupuncture therapy session.
Although some ailments can indeed be “instantly and magically healed” by
acupuncture, the best timing to receive acupuncture therapy, contrary to many
common misunderstandings, is when one has no physical problems or pain. Even in such situations, the chances are
that the body stores some kind of stress, tension, or imbalance, and this is
the very timing when one can get the bodily ki(chi) energy balanced out in order
to prevent anything to turn for the worse.
Eastern medicine, acupuncture included, is after all, preventative
medicine, at heart.
Since these meridian points exist rather on the surface of the human
body, it is NOT necessary to penetrate the needles in too deep under the
skin. The act of skin penetration
itself, though maybe not too significantly, is a form of damage and stress to
the body. From this “Fewer
the needles, the better” standpoint, the acupuncture
therapy performed at ENERGY ROOM uses no more than 8, typically only 4 or 5
needles.
Therefore, if you are seeking an
acupuncture method that “Sticks numerous needles quite
deep and gives the body a ‘Needle-Kick’
shock/high,” or “Penetrates needles
deep into the muscles and/or hitting the nerve,” or “connecting pulse electrodes onto the needles stuck into the
human body,” then the acupuncture method offered here at
ENERGY ROOM is probably not for you.
If you are seeking to feel the “important effective
points”, then you might be pleasantly impressed!
Acupuncture therapy can be received by
itself or in combination with our Kenbiki therapy, at ENERGY ROOM.
