Acupuncture as a Treat

When I practiced meditation with Headspace a while ago, the guide said,” For the first couple of minutes, simply appreciate the opportunity to sit down and meditate. Treat meditation as a treat.” 

That resonates with me. Also makes me think of why we don't treat acupuncture as a treat. 

Acupuncture is more than a cure for our illness. It is also for boosting our health. We can talk about acupuncture from the perspective of prevention. It is genuinely a treat. 

To more conversations about Acupuncture,
