Not that I’m really thinking of starting my own school, but if I were…..one of the introductory first year courses I would require for my students would be to work in a restaurant waiting tables. I believe it’s a great training for an acupuncturist, especially if you are going to practice community acupuncture.

Besides it’s practical applications such as fairly flexible schedules, good part-time income for a student and the food benefits it requires multitasking skills that the new acupunk will need in the community acupuncture setting.

Usually when I need acupuncture I treat myself. So much for relaxation….Typically I’ll lie on the floor as I needle the usual suspects. This past week, out of the blue, a wind invasion hit me like a ton of bricks. I still hadn’t even considered coming to our clinic until I remembered that my business partner had come in the day before. Hmmm….What a great idea!

What better nurturing experience then having somebody ask what’s about you and treat you with acupuncture? It’s so easy to forget how great acupuncture can be when you give it yet don’t receive it. Doing it to oneself just doesn’t cut it. After the placement of Yin Tang I felt as if a collidascope of worlds were swirling inwards as I slowly lost consciousness. It was a great experience. I can see why these people come back every week!
