Title:
Mind Acupuncture: An Expansion of Saam Acupuncture for Rapid Relief of Negative Emotions and Thoughts
Summary:
Mind acupuncture is a Saam informed meridian-based psychotherapy modality. Mind acupuncture is firmly rooted in traditional East-Asian medical theory. The fundamental basis being that qi (energy) instability causes negative emotions and thoughts. Through the utilization of the 5 Shu points and Saam acupuncture techniques, we learn to stabilize the energy of the 5 elements and 6 Qis.
These strategies are extremely efficacious in releasing negative emotions and have the ability to address daily stress, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and insomnia by reestablishing healthy regulation of stressors and emotions.
The approach has three fundamentals: Stating treatment goals, strengthening self-regulation of the meridian system, and interlacing treatment goals with meridian functions.
This method can also have profound efficacy in the dredging of hidden unconscious conflict allowing the liberation of spirit through Qi-transformation and Metaphor techniques.
The primary techniques used in the Mind Acupuncture method that will be taught are Basic Circulation Acupuncture and Saam Acupuncture.
Mind acupuncture is easy to learn and provides quick results, offering liberation from negative emotions and expanding positive affect. Mind Acupuncture has received accolades and recognition when it was introduced to audiences at Oxford University as “The Emergence of New Traditional Acupuncture”, ICMART 2023(Amsterdam), and Dagfa 2022(Frankfurt).
