The minute you learn to needle yourself is the day you take control over your own health.
At You Healing You, we understand that your body knows how to rebuild itself. Our mission is to empower individuals to learn to needle themselves and take control of their own health and well-being. With our comprehensive seminars and personalized treatment programs, each student can discover the power of Acupuncture and how it can support your body's natural healing abilities.
We discuss the Five Element theory and how it helps to diagnose and differentiate illnesses and dysfunctions in the body. By demonstrating each element, you can observe the association with all human health, such as diet, movement, and emotions, and the interconnectedness with nature and our environment.
We will discuss the function of the organs, which points are most effective for which ailments, and clarify how this is all related to you being able to bring real change to your medical issues in your body. Once we learn your specific medical concerns, we will tailor a treatment program for you to take home and practice regularly.
Each day, we will spend as much time as needed for all our students to become comfortable locating the points we teach. Initially, we find the point and mark it out with a marker. Pretty soon, you will not even need to mark the point out. We only teach points that are easy to find and easy to needle. The repetition of locating points on all three days has proven effective for students to leave the seminar confidently.
We address the apprehensions people have with acupuncture needles. We discuss the sensations of these soft, flexible tools and how they slip between the skin cells to stimulate sensory nerves in the skin and muscles.
On Day 1, we will learn the most essential points to the needle. On Day 2, we will reinforce what you learned the days before and keep practicing it so that it gets profoundly ingrained and everyone feels capable of locating the points and needling the points on their own alone at home.
We will delve into what meridians are and how these road maps in Eastern philosophy work alongside Western medicine's peripheral and central nervous systems, demonstrating the clinical influence that the stimulation of acupuncture points along with sensory nerves provide signals to the brain, which processes this information and then causes clinical changes associated with treatment.
Once we explain how the human body is wired with this circuitry of meridians that carry qi (through your nervous system) to your organs, you will understand why inserting a tiny little needle in a specific spot can make our body move towards homeostasis (perfect balance).
We will have in-depth conversations on how the body functions from the Eastern Medicine Model and why putting in needles helps the body heal and find balance. We then review, assimilate, flesh out, and answer any questions to ensure you fully understand the concepts before going home. We have discovered that repetition is the key!
We understand that almost everyone finds it scary to insert a needle in their body. However, we found with our students that they immediately get over their fear as soon as they see that the needle does not hurt. Our painless insertion techniques give you confidence and calmness about treating yourself.
On Day 1, and Day 2, we will repeat the process of learning to needle multiple acupuncture points. It doesn't matter if the student excelled in school or found it very difficult; the repetition of practicing needling over the three days will allow the student to get it "in their body," and it will become second nature.
During this immersive 2-day seminar, Shelby and Susan will guide you through the process of crafting your personal journey to healing.
Insights from our seminar graduates
I'm so deeply humbled by all of the knowledge and care that was shared with me. As the gates open, it has occurred on a physical, spiritual, and emotional level every single day since I have been afforded access to my own being on the most intimate level.
It's as if an ancient scroll was passed along to me ...and inside was a map to me! I have been tuning into my body once a day since the workshop. Listening to my body and being able to do something about it is so powerful.
I have been paying more attention to my body as I insert the needle and how I feel as I activate the Qi. My allergies and sinuses have reacted incredibly. For the last few nights, I have slept nine hours each night!
