Chinese Medicine Notes

Family Memebers & Acupuncture

Posted on July 28, 2008 by Yael6 Comments

When I first started studying Chinese Medicine, I hated the thought of using needles.
“I will use only acupressure” was my constant thought.
The 2nd year came rather quickly after the 1st year (it’s only natural I guess), and I quickly understood that there’s no way I will not use acupuncture.
Two things helped me to understand this:
1. The power of the most delicate touch on the right point at the right time.
2. The acupuncture sessions I started to take with a healer, who quickly became my mentor.
So my fear- if you can call it a fear- of needles vanished and never returned.
It didn’t return when I started to have friends as patients. It didn’t return even when family members were forced to become needle-cushions on my 3rd year (“dad, it’s for a good cause!”).
And it didn’t return when I finished my 4 years and had my clinic growing steadily.

Recently I told you about my son being ill.
One of my biggest frustrations is that when it comes to my husband, my ability to diagnose is blurry, but I manage. When it comes to my son- I am completely clueless and have no re-collection what so ever about Chinese Medicine and it’s ability to help people.
Strange isn’t it?
