Acupuncture can help many physical conditions, and it can help many energetic conditions. Attuning to your body’s energy is a way to develop intuition, calmness, sensitivity, and patience. Acupuncture stimulates the movement of energy and makes it easier to perceive. Each point affects the body, the nervous system, the flow of blood, and the electrical pathways of the nerves. This stimulation of the nerves allows the patient to more easily perceive the already present flow of energy. By making it stronger, it becomes easier for the patient to perceive.
This allows the patient to consciously attune to this greater flow of energy. Also, outside of treatments, one can be more attuned to the energy. By feeling the energy, it becomes easier to manipulate, to direct it, move it, and focus it at certain points in the body that are conducive to meditation, devotional practices, prayer, or energy work. Though a mildly invasive form of therapy, it is also a subtle form of energy work.
