Acupuncture Circle

5:00-7:00 pm
$35.00
 Please join us for a relaxing experience with the Ancient Art of Acupuncture. All are welcome to receive Auricular (or Outer Ear) Acupuncture. We will gather in a group setting. In the Chinese medical model, the ear is a hologram of the entire body and organs. Your acupuncturist will place 5 pins to support your vital organs - toning down the sympathetic nervous system and supporting the digestive, parasympathetic nervous system, the heart, the kidneys, the liver, and the lungs. This type of acupuncture is an especially helpful and easy way for unwinding and relaxing, to come to a meditative or inner yin state, to reduce cravings (from smoking, sugar, etc), to help anxiety and sleep. There will be chairs, mats, and bolsters to support a comfortable seated position. We will provide relaxing music and a centering poem will be shared. Other acupuncture points may be considered on a case-by-case basis and depending on the amount of participants. Registration is REQUIRED, SORRY NO DROP INS PLEASE. BUT PLEASE CALL THE DAY OF THE EVENT TO SEE IF THERE ARE CANCELLATIONS. CALL OR EMAIL TO RESERVE A SPACE.
This is a great way to experience acupuncture, get tuned up, and balance out your week. |
