Subject: DIYacupuncture Introduction

INTRODUCTION

I had long wondered - why not do it myself? - I asked one
acupuncturist and they said "you cant do any harm" ... so
I started ....

Really it's so easy and I could almost say natural ....
I believe its something that once you get over your
inhibitions and actually start doing - then you just
want to carry on with it ... I can well appreciate how
acupuncture developed ... simply because its fascinating
... human curiosity had to carry on finding out why
needles had such an effect ... or actually the Chinese
mind doesnt seem to have been bothered with why it works
they were simply interested in how to make it work better.


I believe what I do is pretty brutal in comparison to a
trained acupuncturist .. but this is interesting - because
what I do must lie in the origination of the practice -
they must have experimented like this 3000 years ago in
China!

My acupuncturist gives a very fine treatment which probably
has more certain and safe side effects and lasting results
.. however, he costs money - but I am free, any time I
want, ... and I maintain that no-one (or very few people
indeed) have a better insight into me - than me

I havent studied acupuncture and I dont intend to study it
... and for me one of the main points about writing this is
to encourage a sense of trust in your own bodysense ... an
adventure and experiment in trusting our own intuition ...
and in no way a recommendation for treating others ...

Ive been accupuncturing myself for three years now ... Im
almost 60 ... I remember 40 years ago starting to
acupressure myself and wonder now why I didnt start
puncturing earlier ... and the answer is simple ... no-one
ever thought of it or mentioned it or wrote about it ...

I love Internet ... it allows the world to change .. it
allows free ideas to grow ....

cheers
