Balanced Progress

Acupuncture harmonises the body and mind, fostering mental clarity and emotional maturity. These benefits naturally support three fundamental pillars of human and social progress: understanding the world, self-reflection, and transforming knowledge into action. As a result, acupuncture patients often distinguish themselves in society, developing a broader perspective, making more conscious choices, and maintaining a balanced approach to life.

The first pillar centres on expanding knowledge and deepening understanding of the world. Those who actively seek learning overcome limitations and drive transformation. However, stress and emotional burdens can obstruct this process, making it difficult to absorb new information and think critically. This ancient practice alleviates tension, improves mental clarity, and enhances cognitive receptiveness, allowing the mind to fully embrace new ideas and innovations. By fostering a sense of openness, acupuncture helps individuals perceive opportunities and solutions where others may only see obstacles, thus facilitating both personal and collective advancement.

The second pillar focuses on self-reflection. Self-awareness and emotional intelligence are essential for acting with coherence and integrity. Many people amass knowledge but lack the equilibrium to apply it constructively, leading to ineffective or misguided decision-making. Acupuncture nurtures introspection by creating a calm and centred state, enabling individuals to recognise their behavioural patterns, understand their emotional responses, and make choices that align with their deepest values. This process cultivates resilience, enhances the ability to navigate life's challenges, and strengthens interpersonal relationships. Those who develop a deeper awareness of themselves often emerge as natural leaders, inspiring others through their wisdom, empathy, and emotional stability.

The third pillar emphasises the application of knowledge. Learning and contemplation are only the beginning; true transformation occurs through purposeful action. However, when individuals experience chronic pain or ongoing stress, their energy and motivation can be severely diminished. By relieving physical discomfort and alleviating accumulated tension, acupuncture restores vitality and well-being, allowing individuals to re-engage with their responsibilities and aspirations. This renewed sense of balance translates into greater productivity, more meaningful interactions, and a proactive approach to community involvement. The ability to take decisive, compassionate action not only improves individual lives but also contributes to a more cooperative and harmonious society.

True progress is not solely measured by technological advancements or material achievements, but by how we apply knowledge to create a more conscious, ethical, and humane world. When individuals cultivate mental clarity and emotional equilibrium, they unlock their full potential and positively influence those around them. Acupuncture serves as a powerful tool in this transformative journey, guiding people toward a more thoughtful, compassionate, and purposeful existence.

Anxiety

Anxiety is a very generous word, so generous that it makes a lot more sense in the plural, anxieties. This is because, like a large umbrella, a load of elements can fit under it. However, despite its multitude of disturbances and manifestations, anxiety can be traced back to quite simple and predictable stress triggers. In its origins, it is much more visceral and organic than people imagine. A common trigger, for example, is hunger. You can lose hunger, overeat, stick to a crash diet, all as a neurovegetative expression of stress. Irritability is another trivial trigger. You are more easily irritated, frustrated, and angry over nothing, cultivating an inner anger, sometimes silent, sometimes explosive. Loneliness is also an important trigger. It is a complex feeling that includes inadequacy, weakened belonging, nostalgia for everything that has already happened and for everything that cannot happen. It is a mood that can be thoughtful, rueful, self-defeating, filled with needi...

Delusions

I've attempted to discover a quick way to deal with confrontational scenarios by interpolating empathy with courteous demeanour. While it didn’t interrupt confrontations, nor made them avoidable, it seems that begging to disagree can work, so long as you’ve have first learnt to mirror what is being talked in a different point of view. I like to call those exercises tools for mutual understanding. It took me a while to understand that it is natural for some people to showcase colourful disagreement only to capture a topic by exhaustion. Funnily enough, no words can interpret with precision what a subject matter can bring to a vulnerable person. I say vulnerable not to explicate people who eventually become vulnerable, oh no. We are all vulnerable to small stressors, too many of them, too many times. Triggers, say, of how much sentiment you will drill in a matter of seconds. More than that, it is a delusion to ignore them. That’s righteous okay, I need to add. Subjectivity is always ...

Remaining Attitudes

Sometimes one cannot just let it go. While I can understand why a patient would like to give up, if he is willing to put himself walking inside the hospital, I must comprehend he wants to keep fighting. Tons of medicines, exhaustive hours later and nothing has changed but a frightened soul. Walking in, walking out of his room, the pace seems unfair and unreliable; but then again, the patient remains fighting. Never truly could understand how it happens, whether that is due to faith, love, or some sort of primal instinct, but people fight for their survival more frequently than we can bare to imagine in their shoes. It is too easier and human to surrender, I guess, but it is so surprisingly godly to battle one cell’s battle. Maybe that is what makes us more human: our will, I am not sure. I watch this all, so erratic and alone in my own thoughts, slightly resilient than the day before on my attempts at understanding this effort. I wish I could say for sure to all of them “it will be alr...
