Why Does Acupuncture Leave Me Feeling So Good?
Many of us LOVE Acupuncture, and for so many reasons.
Acupuncture is an ancient system of tapping into the body's innate healing abilities. During an acupuncture treatment, the body's energy (the stuff that moves the blood, warms the body, supplies the "oomph" for the liver to do liver things, and the kidneys to do kidney things -just to name a few) is stimulated into improved circulation, ensuring all body parts, organs, the brain and spinal cord, get enough of this energy to do their part in the whole of the body. This is the definition of a holistic view of the body and its state of health.
But what about our emotions and thought vibrations? Do they also affect the body and its flow of energy? Of course they do. We are an amalgamation of vibrations, all matter is just energy vibrating at different frequencies. Just like how water becomes steam when it vibrates faster, and becomes ice when it vibrates slower. The levels that make up our Body-Mind-Emotions are one and the same, just different expressions of that energy. Problems and disease arise when we get "congested" on one of the levels can transmit to the others.
Acupuncture and the Endorphine Release
Acupuncture is one of the best ways to experience an endorphin release, which gets the body into a deep, restorative mode by promoting the parasympathetic nervous system dominance (rest-and-digest mode) and facilitating ease on all of these vibrational levels.
Acupuncture Changes Your Brainwaves
During this acupuncture induced endorhin release, the brainwave pattrns they have studied match what are called theta brainwaves. Theta brainwaves (4-8 Hz) are associated with deep relaxation, meditative states, emotional healing, reduced stress, pain relief, and expidited healing. They are also discribed as being a state between consciousness and subconsciousness, which facilitate deep insight and "flow" states of being, and the body's natural healing mechanisms.
Theta brainwave oscillations are involved in pain perception, so acupuncture induced theta wave patterns contribute to pain relief on all vibrational levels, mental, emotional, and physical.
Finding a skilled acupuncturist is vital for experiencing these benefits. Robin Barlow, AP is a Licensed Acupuncture Physician with over 20 years of education and clinical experience in facilitating this incredible bliss.
