I have just received this from one of my Chinese five element students. It describes her patient's description of how five element treatment makes her feel.
"I want to thank you very much for the wonderful treatment today. Lying on the
couch after treatment I immediately felt grateful for the healing energy coming into me from the universe, the connection that I am part of the universe and that I am being taken care of and loved. It's wonderful. I feel connected."
I don't think it is too far-fetched to hope that all five element patients will at some point echo this patient's comments, although perhaps not expressed quite so poetically. Her words describe almost exactly how I myself felt after my first five element treatments all those many years ago. I like to think that five element acupuncture is one of the few therapies to offer patients the opportunity to experience feelings of such profound and often transformative well-being.
This always reminds me of a comment a neighbour of mine made to me some years ago whilst I was running my practice from my home. She said that she always knew who my patients were, because as they passed her window on their way back from my house they were always smiling. She may have exaggerated a little, but I know that I, too, after my many treatments over the years, would leave my practitioner's practice with warmth in my heart and a smile on my face.
How appropriate that I can complete my blogs for the year 2022 with such a happy blog.
I wish us all a happier, less fraught 2023.
