I had my first acupuncture session days ago.
IT WAS AMAZING! I am seeking acupuncture because of my anxiety. I was not looking to see a western doctor and be out on an anti-anxiety pill for the rest of my life - I found my answer with acupuncture.
Needles: it was a weird sensation, there was no pain but I could feel my nerves being stimulated. Once all the needles were in I felt like a humming in my body that all the needles were communicating.
The needle for my forehead helped me focus, when it was inserted all my surroundings dulled and I could really focus on me!
Once I was done I was so peaceful and calm. All the voices inside me were quiet.
