Pain may occur in one area, such as your knee or back, but it affects your entire body’s ability to maintain wellness. When your body is in pain a majority of your bodies resources are focused on the pain in an abnormal way, and not balanced throughout the body. Because of this imbalance, the treatment and prevention of pain is important to your overall health.

These energy flows run throughout the body on pathways called "meridians," mapped out from traditional Chinese medical texts and named after different organs and body systems.  Along the meridians, various concentrations of energy, known as "points," can be stimulated through massage, needle or heat application to promote well-being. There have been many applications of palm energy, mineral and gem placement and most recently, electrical stimulation on specific acupuncture points to influence the human energy field.

An Example Of The Energy Flow In Your Body....

A common example of energy flow can be seen in a garden hose. The water freely flows until a kink occurs in the hose. This slows the flow down to a trickle. This juncture is where the blockage of water is occurring. If we straighten the kink (compared to stimulating an acupuncture point along a stagnant meridian) the strength of the flow is restored.

When Tarzan beat these points on his body, it gave him more endurance and vocal strength to shout (swinging on the vine). Another example of energy healing is your instinctive grasp of a painful area that has been hurt. We touch it, in essence, to put our palm energy there. That's why it feels better. There are many points that we instinctively grab to stimulate different conditions without being consciously aware of what we're doing. More practically, certain acupuncture points have a stronger influence over others.
