How Acupuncture Restores Balance
Acupuncture works with the body’s subtle energy system to restore balance at the deepest level. By harmonising the six elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Ether (Space)—and the extraordinary meridians, treatment helps the body reconnect to its natural state of health.
When the mind becomes stressed or distracted, emotions can become unsettled. This creates tension in the body, which may disturb the organs and lead to physical or emotional symptoms.
Acupuncture gently clears these blockages. It releases the mental and emotional strain that binds up the body, allowing symptoms to dissolve naturally. Many people experience not only relief of pain or discomfort, but also a renewed sense of calm, clarity, and presence.
Through this reconnection, acupuncture doesn’t just treat symptoms—it helps you return to balance, wellbeing, and a deeper sense of yourself.
- Acupuncture needles can have a certain sensation after they are inserted, but few would call it painful. Over many years l have noticed that people who are very tense, through emotional or mental stress patterns, can perceive the needles as painful due to their inability to relax. Generally breathing deeply a few times before needle insertion can reduce this perception.
- By the time all the needles are inserted during a treatment, you generally do not feel any of them and are consumed with a sense of calm and relaxation
