We are discussing Mind Body Techniques. We go into detail on the practice of acupuncture. Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture is a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — that is believed to flow through pathways called meridians in your body. This is done by inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.
