WHAT TO EXPECT IN AN ACUPUNCTURE SESSION

A Unique Experience for Every Individual

Every acupuncture session is unique—because at any given moment, you are unique. Your energy, or Qi, is constantly in motion, shifting and adapting. That’s why no two treatments are ever exactly the same.

However, certain key elements are always present in a Classical Chinese Medicine session, ensuring a structured yet personalized approach to healing.

A Typical Acupuncture Session

1️⃣ Initial Consultation & Diagnosis

  • Discussion of your concerns, symptoms, or health goals

  • Identifying your present energetic state

  • Assessing past patterns (recent changes or long-term imbalances)

2️⃣ Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Assessment

  • Examination of tongue, pulse, and palm diagnosis

  • Determining the root cause of imbalance

  • Selecting the most effective acupuncture strategy

3️⃣ Treatment Process

  • Explaining the treatment plan before beginning

  • Painless insertion of acupuncture needles

  • Resting for about 60 minutes while the needles stimulate healing

  • Enjoying a relaxing atmosphere with carefully selected binaural music, designed to calm the nervous system

4️⃣ Post-Treatment Discussion

  • Evaluating sensations or changes experienced during the session

  • Discussing next steps and potential follow-up treatments

Why Each Session Lasts 60 Minutes

In Chinese Medicine, it is said that Qi circulates through the body 50 times a day—completing a full cycle every 28 minutes. To ensure deep and lasting effects, acupuncture needles remain in place for at least two full cycles (60 minutes), allowing your body to reset and rebalance.

The Power of Letting Go

Acupuncture is more than just a physical treatment—it’s a profound realignment of your body, mind, and spirit. In some cases, particularly with I Ching / BaGua Acupuncture, adjustments can occur at the DNA level, and these shifts may even be felt during the session.

Relaxation is key. Letting go is a fundamental Daoist principle—and an essential part of the healing process.
