Map of Acupuncture Points. Photo from http://acupuncturistseattle.com When I was in Chinese Medical School, I asked my teacher how it was discovered which acupuncture points did what in the human body. My instructor explained that Buddhist monks, who had trained themselves to sense their inner Qi (chi) and flow, followed the sensations in their body to help map what each of those acupoints did when stimulated. There are as many as 2,000 acupuncture points on the human body so this is rather remarkable. But also, what this story implies, is that a person CAN learn to sense their own subtle, invisible energies and flow in their bodies.
When I have an acupuncture treatment, I often can feel a "dripping" in the back of my throat that starts when an acupuncture needle has been inserted in my body. I also at times, will "see" different colors moving behind my closed eyes as I rest on the acupuncture table during a treatment. These colors and their movement are also a representation of different subtle energies representing the different subtle frequencies.
Sometimes during an acupuncture treatment, I may also mentally see images and scenes play out in my mind as if they are messages being made available from my energetic self to my physical mind. In addition, there have been times when I may feel emotions being released when these subtle energies move in my body, even tearing up occasionally by what feels like for no reason at all.
Acupuncture can provide you with an opportunity to sense your inner subtle energy of Qi and its movement when you have a treatment. It can be a way to help you tune in and sense things you never even knew were there.
