Com defines acupuncture as an ancient Chinese medicine-based approach to treating a variety of conditions by triggering specific points on the skin with needles.
It is believed that the human body was filled with and animated by an invisible life-giving force which they call chi.
And when chi is flowing well and going to all the right places,
Then a person would experience good mental and physical health.
I find acupuncture helpful for headaches,
Stress,
And pain management.
Meditation has many of the same benefits as acupuncture.
It also helps with ensuring our chi is aligned and flowing.
Your breath is the natural rhythm and flow of your body.
Meditation helps to experience good mental and physical health.
It has healing properties,

And many other benefits.
Consider your own flow,
Your alignment,
And your overall well-being.
I will now take you through a guided meditation.
At the end of the meditation,
You'll hear a soft bell.
Remembering it's important to come out of meditation slowly and to take your time.
I will be here guiding you through the entire process.
The theme of this meditation is alignment and flow.
Mindfulness is about engaging your attention in the present moment on what you are experiencing without judgment.
Let us center our attention and bring awareness to the present moment.
Let us center our attention and bring awareness to the flow of your breath.
Explore this meditation with mindful curiosity as you become mindful of your body,
Mindful of your environment,
Mindful of your chi,
And as you maintain a gentle present moment focus.
Start by finding a comfortable position and let us settle into our breath.
Releasing your feet flat on the ground with your hands resting comfortably in your lap.
Or if you're sitting on a cushion,
Find a comfortable position with your hands resting comfortably in your lap.
Closing your eyes if you prefer and become present,
Still,
And relaxed in this moment.
Observe the sensations of the body and notice what you are thinking.
Observe the flow of this present moment.
As you become more relaxed,
Notice the chatter of your mind starting to quiet.
When your mind wanders,
Come back to your awareness in this present moment.
Being mindful of anything getting in your way and let it go on the next exhale breath.
Gently release any tension you notice.
Letting go of anything that might be getting in the way of you being here in this present moment.
Remembering it's okay to have thoughts and when a thought occurs simply notice the thought without judgment and then let it go on the next exhale breath.
Allow each area of your body to settle into the breath.
Explore the sensations in your body mindfully with curiosity and without judgment.

Remember this meditation let us welcome everything and simply let go of any expectations.
At any point in this meditation if your mind starts to wander,
Simply come back to your breath as an anchor of focus.
Remembering to be kind to yourself.
Consider what is blocking you,
What is restricting your flow.
Notice where you feel the blockage in your body.
Breathe into the flow of your body and release any blockages you feel or notice on your next exhale breath.
Consider how you can be more aligned with your body.
Consider your breath as a natural rhythm and flow of your body.
We'll take the next few moments in silence giving you the opportunity to continue to focus your breath as you mindfully maintain a gentle present moment awareness.
I will keep track of the time as we take these moments with silence together.
