This weekend I had my annual Open House at my Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic. It's an opportunity for people to ask questions about acupuncture, Chinese herbs, etc.
Usualy people ask about acupuncture. They are curious about the needles, do they hurt, what's he most I've ever used in a treatment...
We talk about the more obvious and easier to discuss aspects of acupuncture. Rarely at this kind of event do I get to talk about the less obvious aspects. These would be things like how are the points to be treated chosen, or what does stimulating an acuppont with a needle affect the Qi of a person, etc. These are the things that define Traditional Chinese acupuncture and are the most important. Unfortunately they are also harder to discuss.
This is the same for qigong and taiji.
