Standard Acupuncture and Energetic Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the most commonly practiced style of acupuncture in the United States. This style combines aspects of ancient Chinese medicine with western medicine into the effective system we have today.
Energetic Acupuncture integrates energetic healing practices as Rei Ki and Qi Gong into TCM diagnosis and treatment where possible. This addition transforms subtle "academic" theories and concepts into a tangible reality. Simple, logical techniques are developed or rediscovered that may have been discarded when TCM was created.
Acupuncturists can become directly aware of the patient's acupuncture points and meridians without the aid of electrical devices.
Energetic Acupuncture and Rei Ki/Qi Gong
TCM is rich with theories that merge well with the structures as chakras and auras of other healing systems. TCM adds a "grounded", logical, intellectual component to healing practices that become intuitive. Rei Ki and Qi Gong are practiced within the framework of TCM where possible..
Rei Ki/Qi Gong healers can send Rei Ki into the acupuncture points and meridians with a more clear understanding of the reasons than intuition alone.
Who Should Learn Energetic Acupuncture?
Acupuncturists- who want an empirical understanding of the fundamental theories of TCM and want to contribute to Oriental Medicine from a perspective closer to the ancient practices than the scientific model.
Rei Ki/Energy healers/intuitives and psychics- who want to be able to interact with their clients from a more rational perspecive than intuition and spirit guides. Practitioners who want to go beyond the chakra system and understand the finer aspects of the body's bioenergetic field will find TCM a treasure trove of information. Once the energetics are understood, needles are not always necessary. Thus, those who are not able use needles can still learn this as well.

Before you ask "what is Energetic Acupuncture?" ask yourself some of life's big questions:
Are you like coffee? (pdf)
Will you be the 100th Monkey? (links to another site)
Will you choose the red pill? (youtube video)
Spoon or no spoon? (youtube video)
Ready to not try? (youtube video)
Why?
Because Energetic Acupuncture involves continuous learning, and personal growth of the practitioner as they treat their patients. Treatment is given according to the patient's level of awarness and comfort. Energetic Acupuncture incorporates a variety of concepts yet remains internally consistent with the fundamental theories of Oriental Medicine.
