There are two facets to Sacred Acupuncture - understanding and healing.
Understanding
In generating understanding Sacred Acupuncture is a description of how the principles which give rise to the Universe also generate human beings, and how these principles are mapped within the human system. This understanding is anything but new, but its expression sometimes needs renewing.
Sacred acupuncture is a system of understanding which views humans as being comprised of five parts: a physical body, an etheric or Qi body, a mental or Shen body, a causal or Ling body and a universal or Tao nature, which is not really a 'body' except in the universal sense. Sacred Acupuncture is based on the understanding that the human system is a replication of the five-fold universe itself.
Sacred acupuncture asserts that in this new 2,500 year historical cycle it is the understanding of the inter-relationships between these 'bodies' that is an important key to harmony and to healing. Sacred Acupuncture is an understanding of our four-bodied, five-fold nature, and it is a way of healing by using the inter-relationships between our four-bodies, and our non-embodied nature.
Sacred Acupuncture is an examination of how we are formed from the moment of conception; how we are formed by the underlying forces of the five-fold nature of the universe, and how these forces give rise to the various layers of the energy system, generating the three Dan-Tian, the four bodies, the four primary modifications of consciousness, the five Zang organs, the five primary emotions, the seven chakras, the eight extraordinary channels, and finally the 12 regular acupuncture channels. Sacred acupuncture reveals the relationship between the various embryological changes and the corresponding generation of the more subtle bodies and energies.
For three years I have received information concerning the above listed subjects For more information on the understandings of Sacred Acupuncture please see my other site: www.sacredacupuncture.com

Healing
I am still learning the healing force of Sacred acupuncture. I align with the fundamental healing principals of the Causal 'Ling' realm.
From within the focus of these Meta-Devic consciousnesses comes a guiding force which organizes and catalyses the healing necessary for the Shen body and the Qi body.
This guiding force also generates the understanding of intervention, the theater of treatment, the expression upon the physical plane which captures the essence of the healing process taking place within the Shen body and the Qi body. This intervention - this action upon the physical body, is an anchoring of the treatment into the physical. The acupuncture needle thus bisects the four realms and acts as a tool for the healing of the Shen and Qi.
In Sacred Acupuncture the needles are not inserted, nor moved in any way, except for the purpose of reflecting the essence of the healing display ranging from the Meta-Devic realms through the angelic actions of the Hun and the beneficial workings of the Hun-overshadowed P'o - the beneficial Earth-spirits.
When we have caught this movement, from Ling to Hun to P'o activation there has been a movement from the seventh to the sixth and then to the fifth chakra - At this point acupuncture needle insertion, or moxa, or essential oil anointing, or massage, or laying on of hands, or any other physical intervention, is swift, sure and effective.
