Learn basic acu-points for self-healing and home use followed by a group-healing auricular (ear) acupuncture session.
In this 90 minute workshop we will learn some basic, effective acu/pressure points for home use with acupressure and self-massage. We'll look at functions and indications of points for common complaints such as headache, sinus congestion and nausea, and how to locate and effectively stimulate them. At the end of the workshop each participant will receive an auricular (ear) acupuncture treatment. The needles will be retained collectively as a group in a quiet meditative setting for 15-20 minutes. Auricular acupuncture is a system of acupuncture that maps out a microsystem of the body represented on the ear, and acu-points that correspond to and stimulate that part of the body. “Ear seeds” (little beads that stick to points on your ears to stimulate them) are available for the needle-shy.
Perfect for those curious about what acupuncture is and how it can help.
