Refresh & Renew
The other day I went to see my acupuncturist, Traeger. While we were talking, he said, “So why are you here?”
I explained my craving for sweets after the holidays. I said, “I just wanted to check in for the new year, to see what my body is doing?”
Most people go to see a doctor, therapist, acupuncturist when something is wrong–when their system is way out of balance. What I’ve learned over the years is that going for a session when I feel good is extremely beneficial.
After taking my pulses, Traeger, knowing that I enjoy back treatments, decided to work with my yin organs. He placed needles down my back, going from one side to the other as he made his way down my spine. Traeger explained that some redness occurred around my liver and spleen. After being in wine country over Christmas, and eating plenty of sugary foods, I was not surprised. He left me alone for awhile to allow the points to clear. As relaxing music played in the background, I let my mind wander.
When Traeger returned, he said, “The points cleared completely.” Thankfully, my system is excellent at finding balance given some guidance.
As we continued with the session and my pulses became stronger, Traeger said, “Your body really likes acupuncture.”
I smiled and said, “I know, that’s why I am here.”
It is nice to know what works for you. In many therapy sessions, I tell my clients that I push their reset button. By showing the body where it is holding and how it can let go, it resets itself. This brings about a sense of renewal. It’s not always an immediate response, but usually within a day or two, the system feels refreshed. Balance is restored and they go on with their lives, in a better state of mind, body and spirit. Refresh & Renew–sounds good to me. Be well... Nancy T.
