What Should We Do Now?

My interest in Acupuncture started the way it does for many middle age women; I was having a health problem and a friend had experienced acupuncture and raved about it. I figured I had nothing to lose.

Even with my very first acupuncture treatment I was amazed how different it was. I was treated like a whole person. The acupuncturist took over an hour to talk with me and wanted to know everything. She was engaged. She listened! I guess that is what surprised me is that she listened.

The next thing that happened was I had an acupuncture treatment and an experience I now call a “waking dream”. It was like opening a door experiencing a totally new world. I could see things happening inside my body that I could only see during an acupuncture treatment. I could even FEEL the energy flowing during these treatments. It was rather incredible and left me wanting more.

This led to searching the Internet for articles, books, classes, any information I could find about whether these experiences were shared by others.

I found a community class on Chinese Medicine and my friend, LazyBuddhist also decided to take the class, too. The community course on Chinese Medicine is now done and LazyBuddhist asked the instructor “What should we do now if we still want to learn and grow in this area?"

Here are the options the instructor gave us:

• You can take QiGong and bodywork classes
• You can attend “Nourishing Within” events taught by Liu Ming and can check it out at www.DayUanCircle.com
• You can pursue a degree in Acupuncture

So if you’re interested in learning more about subtle energy, there are opportunities available. These options are all in the Bay area of CA, but perhaps there maybe some where you live, too.

For me, I’m throwing myself in all of these different options.
