Have you ever tried acupuncture? If so, what did you think? If not, why not?

Acupuncture is definitely the most physical of the modalities we'll discuss in the Untethered Practices series (I mean we're talking about needles here!) but I think it's an important one to bring up. This is  mostly because the whole needle thing can scare people away from even getting curious about it, let alone trying it.

Acupuncture is a 3,000 year old Chinese medicine modality that helps balance the qi (pronounce "chee") energy that circulates through your body. In some ways reminiscent of Reiki, which we talked about last week, acupuncture is a way of redirecting and channeling energetic flow by putting needles into certain "acu points."

The thinking here is that, when the qi is balanced, the heart, mind, and body are all in balance and working in harmony, as they should. As we've discussed, there is so much value in allowing ourselves to try new things. Maybe, for you, that could be acupuncture. Maybe it's something entirely different.

Trying new things is an essential piece of your untethering. You can't break free of the crap that's holding you back by doing the same old same. Who knows – maybe simply allowing yourself to try something different like acupuncture could open up a whole new realm of curiosity for yourself. And you never know where that could lead!

About the Untethered Practices Series 
Over the next two weeks, I am offering a glimpse into Untethered Practices — some energetic and healing modalities that may be considered “woo-woo” to some.  (And by some, I mean myself, not so long ago.)

The intention with this series is to give you a glimpse into what these practices are,  why people do them, and to help you see if it’s something you may be curious to try!

If there’s a modality you’re curious about, I’m happy to go try it and report back. Send me a message or email! (Links below)
