Hey guys,
I did something new last week that I thought I should share with you because I thought it was pretty cool. Last week I went in for my first laser hair removal appointment and as I was walking out I noticed a Chinese medicine practice right next door. I walked in because I had been having horrible neck and back pains and I had originally gone to find out prices for a shiatsu massage. The prices were a little out there so as I was walking out the girl asked: “Hey have you heard of acupuncture?” Immediately I thought “have a bunch of needles in me? I DONT THINK SO!” The girl then explained that its not as bad as it sounds and that the consultation was free and I was welcomed to try it, so I figured oh what the hell why not!
The lady sat me down, offered me some Jazmin tea and told me to relax, which was hard because at the moment I was so stressed and uptight, I felt tired and emotional and I as if nothing was going right. As I sat down the lady explained exactly who she was and what she does which helped me relax because her voice was so smooth and the place was so peaceful. Then she asked me to show her my tongue, instantly she told me all the things I was feeling, she told me I was a very emotional person, that I was very stressed, that I was fighting a mild cold, that I don’t drink enough water, that I get random rashes, that I have trouble using the bathroom, that I haven’t gotten my period in months, and that I had been trying to lose weight. As soon as I heard her say this I thought “Oh good God this lady knows her shit.” I freaked and I figured oh what the hell she’s good, lets give this a shot.
She walked me into a room and I undressed, the moment she touched my back she realized how stressed I was and gave me a 30 minute massage which wasn’t included in the package she sold me but she needed me to relax in order to feel the acupuncture. After an AMAZING 30 minute shiatsu massage she flipped me over and put a needle in my forehead right between my eyes, another on each of my hands, on each side of my knee, above the knee, on each foot, ankles, and she included the ear one which is mostly for weightloss control.
At first you feel electric-like currents throughout your body, but then you feel very relaxed. You feel at peace, as if nothing can possibly change that. After a few minutes I drifted to a light sleep, I was still awake but my mind was relaxed and I thought of nothing but serenity. I felt like I was on a high. Nothing can possibly compare to this feeling.
After a good hour or so, with her stimulating the needles every so often to keep the currents going, she took out the needles. I felt no pain, I just felt good and relaxed. Instantly I felt the urge to go pee and she explained that acupuncture was suppose to cleanse your body of toxins which was working because I immediately saw the results. Once I woke up I felt more energized, more at peace, more relaxed, more focused. I loved the way I felt. I must say if this weren’t so expensive I would consider doing it more often.
I must admit ever since I’ve felt good. The lady even sold me a tea, meant to help you lose weight. I’ve started drinking the tea ever since and I’ve noticed I don’t feel bloated all the time, nor do I get these anxiety attacks where all I wanna do is stuff my face.
I hope you guys get the chance to experience this, if you do or have let me know if you felt the same. Supposedly everyone’s reaction is different.
Good luck <3
