Touch and acupuncture can relief pain? Still a mystery ?

How Does Acupuncture Work? - Combinatorial Coding Explains A Mystery


Acupuncture utilizes the capacity of the mind to sense and respond to combinatorial patterns. Neurons recognize and transmit functional messages. Their signals selectively signify smells, heat, light, sounds, touch, pain and much more. Those signals also tense muscles and trigger the production of neurohormones.

A Nobel Prize was awarded in 2004 for the discovery that the olfactory nerve system identifies smells by recognizing particular combinations of nerve signals. This website holds that all neurons recognize combinations of incoming signals to fire, or to become inhibited. The localized acupuncture pain signals are recognized by cells in other regions, which respond by inhibiting pain signals, or relaxing muscles. Since combinatorial codes work in a massively linked network, the application of a needle in one location generates responses in distant regions of the body.


  • Successfully practiced worldwide, science has not been able to explain how acupuncture treatment works.
  • WHO has acknowledged the beneficial effects of acupuncture.
  • Traditional Chinese medical theory suggests that a “vital energy” links the external surface of the body to internal systems through broad and mysterious pathways. This is not a satisfactory scientific explanation
  • The diagnosis of illness for acupuncture treatment is highly individualized and seeks to identify “patterns of disharmony.” Diagnosis depends on individual philosophical theories and intuitive impressions.
  • All the peripheral pathways treated in acupuncture are wholly traversed by pain and touch sensory nerve cells.
  • Combinatorial coding has been acknowledged by science. The phenomenon can explain how a touch can relieve pain.


        • A combinatorial coding intelligence, which links the pain and sensory pathways to the motor systems provides the obvious explanation for acupuncture.

How Does Acupuncture Work? - Acupuncture Has Been Practiced Worldwide
Acupuncture is not voodoo. It is a technique of inserting and manipulating fine needles into specific points on the body to relieve pain or for therapeutic purposes. A legend claims that acupuncture started in China when some soldiers experimented with arrows (later needles) as therapy, after experiencing relief from pain in other parts of the body, after being wounded by arrows in battle. Chinese, Japanese, Tibetan, Vietnamese and Korean forms of acupuncture are practiced and taught throughout the world. The beneficial effects of the treatment indicate a real life phenomenon.

The impact of acupuncture can be explained from known scientific facts.

Meditation What ?




> Tibetan Gong meditation <


--------------------------------

I started organizing 60 min Tibetan Gong meditation gatherings with my friends at evolve wellness in the garden
.








I got re introduced and re-discovered my almost child like interest in Tibetan Bells, singing bowls, again mainly through my partner John 


Through his travel around the world as acupuncturist, he always comes back with these wonderful little experiences, and this is one of my favorites , the most magic one.

--------------------------------


The bells combined with  meditation just seemed to work for me in order to stay focused and calm when the work load and daily anxiety level rises to an all time high. 

While working here in Los Angeles and traveling with thefree clinic to Nicaragua and Costa Ricaover over the last two years John taught me how through reiki, acupuncture and meditation, you can strengthenand maintain your overall well being and health. Just even the believe in it makes it happen. It's not about being a purist or preaching about 
healthy lifestyle , it's about what you want it to be for yourself. A strong mind will help you to cope with any little discomfort you might have.

--------------------------------

Meditation simply re-sets your mind. It brings you slowly back in balance . It's very simple. At first it was not easy to do . Getting restless is part of it. Eventually we learn to surrender. It is quite nice to just sit there and just be , listening to the sound of the Tibetan bells.

--------------------------------


A small group, "community style", makes it even more endearing, reconnecting with old friends, just seeing them is rewarding.  So, the garden set-up and my experiences through our travel brought me back here, in the year of the rabbit, to share and embrace this. Try to find ways to use meditation almost every day , make it part of the daily routines and lifestyle . It's beautiful, it's a whole different attitude. -
