Accessing One’s True Nature
As I wrote about in my last blog I have been impressed with the effects of auricular pellets, or ‘seeds’ (even thought they are made of stainless steel they are commonly called seeds). Over the last two weeks I have seen something else from the seeds.
Last week I put two seeds in both of the ears of my water-aerobics instructor. She has continuous back pain and I thought it was worth a try. About 15 to 20 minutes after I put the seeds in she “got goofy.” I say that with respect, she is a great lady, very high energy and very funny. After class I asked her if she was aware of the change in her demeanor and she said “Yeah, what’s up with that?” I had no answer, it was just an observation.
Yesterday I put seeds into a different patient. He is a very quiet, centered individual I was treating for knee pain. Today I saw him for a minute and asked how he was doing. “I have been very centered and focused since the treatment” he replied.
Later in my day I was thinking about these two different experiences. It led me to contemplate the nature of the two individuals.
Then I got it.
Each of these two different souls is more clearly expressing a more true aspect of their true nature. She was more vibrant and funnier, he was more focused and centered. Each was manifesting a true aspect of their nature.
This got me to wondering if I will observe this in more of my patients if I look for it. Which begs the question would that be an accurate observation or a reflection of my bias by looking for it?
It is interesting how this form of acupuncture works. I know that auricular acupuncture does not work for everyone, and I will not be using it on every patient; but it is effective. I guess tonight I ought to put a couple of seeds into my own ears. I am always trying to access my true inner-nature.
