Oh wow- what an incredible story! I've never received acupuncture- mainly because when I was a child, my mum received some and she told us how painful it had been for her and that it hadn't helped. I think at some deep level, this biased me against it- however, I've been interested in plant spirit medicine for almost two decades- and that follows many of the same underlying principles. I now believe that mum simply had a bad practitioner.

The vision you remember is an incredibly moving one somehow - it's almost like you were healing yourself whilst in this trance-like state. You've certainly convinced me to look into treatment - maybe if I can find a practitioner I like, it could be my answer. Thanks for being so generous with such a personal post. E x
