Why 5 Element Acupuncture?
I believe we each have a unique purpose in life, but sometimes it can be a challenge to know what that is. Negative past experiences can influence how we perceive current events, and the way we relate to the world. As a result, perceived obstacles, barriers, and fears can prevent us from following our true path.
I believe when we live in tune with nature our lives flow more freely. When we are disconnected from nature we can get stuck in mind, body, spirit, and disease can arise.
I believe acupuncture helps nature heal us. Five-element acupuncture uses nature’s cyclical model of the seasons and the five elements associated with each:
We are part of nature, therefore this same cycle and relationship of the five elements in nature is also within us. When we are knocked off balance by a stressful event, one of these elements suffers, and as a result all suffer. By treating our predominant element (known as our Causative Factor / CF) we strengthen the essence of who we are, and our ability to deal with whatever life throws at us.
