Three Rivers Acupuncture

Medicine of Peace

Acupuncture is a classical system of medicine that sees the human being as part of the whole of nature, not separate. From a place of witnessing the natural cycles of the environment the Meridian or channel system: 经络 (jīngluò) in Chinese, was discovered. The original Chinese word for Meridian literally translates to warp and weft which implies that we are a woven or braided being. Although as humans, in a modern world it is very easy to forget this connection. Acupuncture aims at returning us back to this place of balance, cutting through stuckness to help us become more integrated and this integration begins with self; the integration of all aspects of our being, mind, body, and spirit.

In modern life, it is easy to forget this connection. We become distracted and disconnected from our bodies, our emotions, and our sense of purpose. Acupuncture offers a realignment: a way to restore balance, move through stagnation, and become more integrated.

Through this, there is an undercurrent that I truly believe is one of the principle ways acupuncture brings balance. That is through creating a deeper sense of peacefulness within. In this place of stillness, it allows us perspective to see more clearly and make shifts and changes that are more in alignment with greater ease in life.
