How to get the best out of your Esoteric Acupuncture Treatments.

Preparation.

Treat it as special
Bathe beforehand
Where possible, wear loose fitting clothing made of natural fibre
Ensure you are rested
Try to avoid coffee, alcohol and smoking for at least 24 hours before the treatment
Avoid eating a large meal before the treatment
If you can, avoid eating animal products in the 24 hours before a treatment
Give yourself plenty of time to arrive & settle
Be clear about your intention; spend some time considering what you might like to explore through the pattern

Integration.

Whilst some changes may be noted by those who do nothing after a treatment, it is more likely that any effects will not be permanent but will simply be overwhelmed by our habitual behaviour patterns. Esoteric Acupuncture does not force anything upon us, it is up to us to integrate and make permanent the energies shown to us in a treatment. It is generally true to say that the results will be more rapidly understood and appreciated by those who use some form of spiritual practice on a regular basis, such as meditation, magical work, qi gung, tai chi, yoga.

Meditation practice aids the development of the right-hand brain, accelerating the raising and expansion of consciousness. The kind of meditation referred to here is not so much the techniques used purely for relaxation but rather those that allow one to get in touch with the Higher, more abstract aspects of Mind.

Experienced meditators will already have the tools required to find the best way for them to work with the learnings available through the patterns.

It is not to say that Esoteric Acupuncture should not be carried out on those that do not meditate. But it is recommended that part of your commitment to Esoteric Acupuncture should be to develop some form of practice to integrate the patterns. Those that do this will simply get more from the patterns themselves and are likely to progress more rapidly, gaining greater knowledge & understanding from their treatments.

‘Anchoring’ is one useful technique that will assist integration of the energetic changes that are initiated during a treatment and is particularly useful for those who are inexperienced in meditation techniques. Anchoring is the asking for assistance from higher 'beings' (however one may perceive them) to help integrate and understand the Esoteric Acupuncture Pattern. Anchoring can be performed during or after a treatment and as many times as one wishes. Hold in your mind the intention of asking for help in integrating the lessons of a particular pattern before imagining a beam of light streaming into the body via the crown chakra and then holding this light frequency within the body, letting it spread out into all of your cells. It is very simple to perform and when performed with intention brings real benefits. The light frequencies of gold, platinum, violet, white & pink are particularly beneficial, but use any colour that feels appropriate.

It’s advisable to keep an open & flexible mind when working with integration. Patients sometimes report that during their treatment they are shown new ways in which to move energy or new places to focus to find energy centres that they were not previously aware of. These new insights are then available as a personal way of integrating & exploring what the patterns are capable of revealing.
