The Healing Culture of Acupuncture in San Diego

IT IS A LONG JOURNEY TO REACH THE SANCTUARY
OF CLASSICAL CHINESE MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE.
IT IS ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE WITH MODERN AFFIRMATION.
IT IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CULTURE AND THOUGHTS;
IT IS A DIFFERENT WAY TO THINK.
IT IS A UNIQUE CONCEPT ABOUT THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE;
ABOUT NATURE, SOCIETY, HEALING AND THE HUMAN BODY,
WHERE THE HEALER AND THE ONE HEALED ARE NOT SEPARATE.
IT MAY BE DIFFICULT.
IT MAY BE SIMPLE.
IT MAY CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
IT MAY EVEN CHANGE THE WORLD.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN THIS APPROACH,
PLEASE FORGET EVERYTHING YOU HAVE LEARNED BEFORE.
JUST LOOK AT THE ANCIENT MOUNTAINS,
THE POWER OF THEIR STILLNESS ENDURES, LIKE OUR MEDICINE.
IT MAY BE GRACEFUL WORDS, SO MANY SIMPLE LINES ON PAPER,
BUT IT CAN TELL YOU SOMETHING OF THE SPIRIT OF OUR
HEALING CULTURE.
FOR WE USE DIFFERENT WORDS.
WE USE THE LANGUAGE OF THE HEART.
WE BECOME ALIGNED TO NATURE, ITS ELEMENTS AND LAWS.
WE ASPIRE TO HOLD THE TRUTH AND PIERCE ITS VEIL,
TO REVEAL THE SUBTLE TRUTH OF OUR HEALING HIDDEN DEEP
WITHIN US.
OUR MEDICINE IS A LIFETIME JOURNEY;
IT IS MORE THAN A JOURNEY,
IT IS AN AWAKENING,
WHERE YOU CAN FIND A ROAD, NEW AND OLD,
A RIVER FROM EAST TO WEST.
OUR SUBTLE MEDICAL ART IS A PASSAGEWAY
TO THE INNER WORLD, TO THE GATHERING PLACE OF BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT.
OUR MEDICINE IS AN ART. IT IS A MYSTERY. IT IS AN ENIGMA,
IT IS PROFOUND, IT IS BALANCED, IT IS GENUINE. IT IS TRUE.
TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP, BE STILL, AS THE MOUNTAIN.
THE SECRET OF BOTH THE HEALER AND THE HEALING
IS TO ONLY BE FOUND WITHIN.
BE STILL AND LISTEN TO YOUR HEARTS CALL.
WITH THIS,
YOUR JOURNEY OF HEALING HAS BEGUN.

Our culture is compassionate , unpretentious, urban professionals, friendly, fun, energetic. We are San Diego’s premier Acupuncture center.

"There is “something” far beyond our knowledge of all medical theories; it is that “something” I seek. In one sense, like the Tao, once we speak of it, we have lost all meaning of it. So, that which I attempt to speak of is hidden within that silent moment when needle touches the Qi, the life-force. Yet, that which I speak of lays hidden even further than this, it is the spark behind the life-force in which I speak. This spark is the Divine Qi, which I call the Healer."
