I have a lot of wellness patients in my clinic who come in for regular tune-ups. Most of them no longer have extreme problems, but they still love to come in for acupuncture on a regular basis. I think it’s because I spoil them.<\/p>\n

Lately, I’ve been doing something new on both old and new patients. New patients don’t realize that my technique is new, but long-term patients are noticing that something is “different” with their\u00a0treatment. A typical reply after a session usually goes something like this…<\/p>\n

“Kimberly, that was just BEAUTIFUL.”<\/span><\/h2>\n

Let me tell you about this “beautiful” treatment I’ve been doing.<\/p>\n

Background:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This treatment has evolved over time, but here’s how it all began.<\/p>\n

I have a regular patient who was coming in for her monthly “spoiling” tune-up. \u00a0She is sensitive to needles, so I try to use as few needles as possible for her. Her chief complaint was digestive, emotional and menopausal issues. AcuGraph showed\u00a0deficiencies in the Lung, Kidney and Liver\u00a0channels, so I decided that opening the Conception Vessel (Ren) would be my best approach to treatment for her.<\/p>\n

After treating Lung 7 and Kidney 6 bilaterally, I began palpating her body to see where she had blockages along the pathway of the Governing Vessel\/Conception Vessel. My fingers naturally stuck at GV 20 on the crown of her head, at CV 17 on her chest, at CV 12 on her abdomen, and somewhere beneath the naval at about CV 3 or 4. I picked up my Red Laser<\/strong><\/span> and decided to supplement her four needle treatment (Lu 7 and Kidney 6) by treating these extra<\/em> points. Then, as an after thought, I added Kidney 1, to tie everything together. (Figuring that GV 20 opened her to receive healing energy from above and Kidney 1 would allow her to receive it from the earth. Sometimes my mind goes esoterica like this… Bear with me here for a moment…)<\/p>\n

Then I left the room and let the patient relax under the heat lamp. When I came back she had pretty much melted on the table, and all she could say was: “Wow, that was BEAUTIFUL.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving Forward:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This patient’s results were so profound, I decided to incorporate\u00a0the same laser treatment into other treatments I was doing. I had two goals:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Balance the graph, however, I saw fit that day (tonification\/sedation points, back shu points, etc.).<\/li>\n
  2. Treat points along the Governing Vessel and\/or Conception\u00a0Vessel with the red laser.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Then I realized something, which isn’t specifically related to Chinese Medicine, but fit right into a\u00a0similar paradigm. I was treating\u00a0acupuncture points which paralleled the Chakras on the body.<\/strong><\/span> No wonder patients were describing their treatment as “BEAUTIFUL”. We were just adding an extra level of balance. (Here’s where my esoteric explanation from above begins to come together.)<\/p>\n

    I haven’t done a huge study of Chakras before this point, but I have\u00a0experienced many “BEAUTIFUL”\u00a0massage treatments over the years from experienced energy workers who use techniques for balancing\u00a0Chakras.<\/p>\n

    Here is how acupuncture points line up with Chakra locations.<\/p>\n

    \"chakras\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Note:<\/strong> The Root Chakra would physically line up with CV 1. For awhile I experimented with treating CV 2 on the pubic bone (calling it “close enough” because I didn’t want to treat CV 1 specifically). That is probably efficient, but then I looked at the internal pathways of Kidney 1 and decided I liked treating Kidney 1 better. Patients often tell me that they can feel energy moving all the way up the channel and into their lower belly region while I’m treating Kidney 1 with the laser. I’ve decided that since it\u00a0crosses right through CV 1 in the process, I like it best.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    There is a lot of interesting research you can do if you want to study Chakras further. This blog is a basic introduction, to help you realize that treatment of points along the Conception Vessel and the Governing Vessel (Ren and the Du) match up with another beautiful theory in balancing the body\u2013both of which are powerful.<\/p>\n

    Conclusion:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Lasers are BEAUTIFUL! If you:<\/p>\n
