The balance of qi on the the left and right sides of the body is paramount for optimal health. However, it can be easily disrupted by injuries, stress, or emotional upset.

Left/Right Imbalances are a natural reaction to disturbances to the body, especially to one-sided injuries. The body responds to injury by sending blood and qi to the injured area. This is the body’s wisdom and natural healing process at work. However, the body sometimes takes a long time to recover from this process, and the body can be out of balance in a way that hinders the progress of healing.

Treating left/right imbalances helps the body more quickly restore homeostasis and optimal health. These treatments are fairly simple to learn and utilize in the treatment room. Once you discover the effectiveness of these simple treatments, you may find that a big percentage of simple complaints of dis-ease in a person are more easily remedied.

Balancing the left and right sides of a meridian involves first assessing the left and right sides through pulse analysis, using the Akabane technique, and evaluating the signs and symptoms. Then treatment focuses on using the Luo points to rebalance the body.

While these approaches are not commonly taught in TCM or CCM schools, many practitioners have embraced them with remarkable results. In our discussion, we will delve into the energetic principles behind needling methods and explore non-needle energetic methods that can be applied both at home and with clients who prefer non-needle approaches.

Although this class is primarily designed for acupuncturists, practitioners from various other disciplines and even those without prior practice experience can also gain valuable insights from the non-needle energetic methods we will be covering.
