I had a session today and it was pretty strange.
I'm kind of doing it to please my wife, but have benefited from it in the past.
Wrists, calves, feet, and hands were duly pricked, yet it was my lower back that reacted. It was burning so much it was beyond comprehension.
It was like i had been rubbed with tiger oil, for 30 minutes, with added spirit, benzine, and being light on fire.
He said that if I could handle it, it was a good idea to carry on. He talked about a surge of energy at its source, the lower back apparently being where we can create chi energy according to Chinese beliefs. He seemed happy, stating it was quite rare.
The moment he took the needles out it stopped.
I feel less foggy. Or maybe I realize I had been feeling really foggy lately.
On a side note, I've got a fucking bed to build. I knew going to IKEA with the wife would be a mistake!

I can imagine a section of hell being an endless IKEA maze.
It's probably a lot of women's idea of heaven though. To avoid being sexist I will mention knowing men who love going there too.

That site has so many aids, you click the video and its like 'a video, what's that, please allow noscript for 87 things, information what's that, please log in and enter user account info and password and credit card at the paywall, thanks. Someone said the internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it, well that site is the damage. It looks like it was made by a media conglomerate who paid someone to make a website with aaaall the "widgets", all the social media plugins. A video shouldn't be that god damn hard to watch on the internet, this isn't the internet, the real internet hasn't even come because it's not allowed to come. Sorry, I just see very few things that aren't worth hating, everything is upside down and backwards, primates have really fucked up everything. The system was organic and beautiful, now we desperately try to create artificial organic beautiful things on our computers, but they are fraud reflections.

Ooo great two responses, I think.
Thanks for highjacking my thread so early, xlt bots. Great work.
W m w, stop posting blocks of text and might read your posts.
I understand, appreciate, whatever, that you have stuff to say. Possibly more than your average person, but please: air it out a bit. Smaller paragraphs would be a start.
Honestly I'm a reader, and have been known to mock those scared of reading, but I come here when I'm winding down, and nearly every time you or your little brother megatracks show up it's always some rude, telling block of fucking text.

I was just trying to help, like I saw the original post... acupuncture... ok, I mean I had very little to work with. I have a short attention span and almost nothing was lighting up my imagination, it was boring to read. But I'll take a break for awhile I guess, have at it. Enjoy your replyless acupuncture soliloquy in the stillness of your own bad breath. Good luck tolerating your own presence. It smells like armpits in here. My favorite replies on the public property of xltronic are my own so I usually try to make a lot of them so there's actually something good to read on here. Well, sorry, and see you around, suckers!

I'm all too aware of how scientifically difficult it is to prove how some of it works.
It's helped me more than certain meds I take for my condition though, so why should I not go into once in a while?
I can't deny it helps my focus, and the burning sensation in my back certainly wasn't a placebo. Something was going on, and it's helped me greatly. Today is the most energized I've felt in many months.
So yeah I'm not that bothered with your link.

it's easy to say "whatever works," right? people are even with you for a while: "oh! yoga! kinda weird, but whatever works, right?" then you get into "once i felt i understood what yoga was trying to do i threw most of it out for a point cloud of weasel metaphors" and no one understands. can you get acupuncture... for... that thing? no, no, that's not what i meant

i guess what i mean is this: if acupuncture is doing something for you, figure out what. once you've begun to figure out what it's doing for you, say: can i get more of this, faster?
i'll throw out a practical scenario: have you ever heard of an inversion table?
i don't have one, but a friend does. we had a chat, and i thought to myself: "superb! now i have a way to explain myself to anyone who walks in on me hanging upside-down off the edge of my bed for fifteen minutes"
the bed is cheaper than the inversion table. the bed doesn't require additional space. it does the exact same thing, really. i'm proud i sorted out something like that on my own, but had i seen an inversion table earlier i would have figured it out earlier
"use whatever works, and take it from anywhere you can find it." cite

I don't have a session to cure something, if that makes sense.
I feel more focused, and more energized after a session. That's it really.
Yoga? No thanks.

you're thinking of Yoga with a capital Y. capital-Y Yoga has ladies in high-end Yoga Pants with flourescent neon Yoga Matts meating at the Yoga Dojo and talking about who boffed whose hairbob cargo.
yoga with a lower-case y is fixing yourself in a specific position and breathing. then another position, and more breathing. holding any position still for a long enough period will do to your body-awareness what saying the same word over and over for ten minutes does to your word-awareness. conscious focus holds on one area until it all starts burning with chakras or some shit and gradually, every day, you learn to use individual muscle groups in your back and core instead of moving them all as a blob. once you get far enough into that, which positions you elect to hold/breathe to get very tactical and absolutely no one on the internet will understand

to get very tactical to get ver t cthia to get her chakras spinnin
it's lovely little cup of tea me that this is exactly the same thing (an example of itself) in which i hold some words together and strange gestalts bleed out. the awareness starts with the moment i click "reply" as i begin to chrew the fraze over and over. i flick back to see if i wrote it that way. did i i really write it that way? shit, yeah, i did. that's lovely little hard to describe tho get her done in the n

TLDR: holding a position for a long time focuses you on what goes into holding that position and stabbing someone with little needles does the same thing, except it's more unpleasant and costs money

i figure a good acu-puncture... technician? prickist? yes, a professional prickist... no, shit, i'm losing the thread
it's like how a fortune-teller reads palms. i have callouses on my hands from a pull-up bar but not on my fingertips like a masonry worker would. anyone who shakes my hand and pays attention to such details can immediately know a lot about me from that handshake. a good acu-puncture person ("professional prickist") will be able to read you. know which parts of your back you've been ignoring to the point that it takes stabbing to get you to focus on them. this is pretty much what jnasato does for a day job.

if horse stance doesn't make your chakras spin so hard they burn -- and right fast -- then it's not horse stance. there's a reason jackie chan tried to cheat horse stance hail marys sensei gave him in the original 80s version of "drunken master"

it's more that i've come back to this thread as you've come back to acupuncture and i am not in control of this any more than you were. however, since it's done this to us -- yes, sure, i'd take a moment to ask "what does it mean" and whatever answer you come up with is probably both correct and important to consider
