Observe ~ Understand ~ Release ~ Heal
Health is free motion of energy. Acupuncture is a tool of Classical Chinese medicine (CCM) and works by activating energy channels in our bodies (which in some traditions are called meridians) in order to release
obstructions and blockages and re-establish this harmonious movement of our energy.

Chinese medicine is ancient and holistic. Thus, it understands that our bodies are inextricably  linked to our emotions and minds. Often, the energetic blockages caused by emotional or mental states can manifest in the body without medical findings. Then we say that the condition is
psychosomatic. Stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, panic attacks, digestive system disorders, infertility, eating disorders and autoimmune conditions are just some of the issues that could be caused or negatively impacted by our psychological state.

There is a very famous quote from Chinese medicine that says:
Qi follows Yi
Which means: energy follows intention.

The acupuncture channels can be activated by needles, hands (massage, pressure etc), stickers with tiny needles or seeds, magnets, crystals and other stones or other means. However, the origin of CCM and acupuncture finds its roots in Shamanism where the healer
would work with rituals that involved invocations, singing and speaking often not touching the patient. All the aforementioned tools are just means to help the healer to concentrate their mind. The truth is that all of us can activate the channels in our own bodies and transmit this
energetic vibration to others.
Both of these actions will be taking place in this class and the outcome will be equal to an immensely powerful acupuncture healing session.
An extra benefit is that you will leave with the knowledge and experience of this self-healing tool, which you can repeat any time you choose.

What will a session look like?

Each session will be starting with a brief explanation of the channel on which we will be working on that day and its functions, as well as the feeling that it evokes when it is balanced and working
harmoniously.

Following, Efthymios will be showing the pathway of this channel on the body and Tuina (chinese medical massage) skills and techniques with which each participant can activate it with their own hands.

Afterwards a 30-40 minute transmission of this channel will be taking place where each of us lies in a meditative or relaxed state, immersing

​themselves in the powerful and unique energetic
vibration of the channel.
