I'm A Leftie Too?

I'm really enjoying my acupuncture sessions!

I didn't know if I had seen much in the way of changes in my body until I sat down with the specialist today to chat before our session.

I mean, I knew I was craving less coffee. And I was talking in my sleep more. But it wasn't until she started asking me questions that I realized, "Oh yeah. There was this... And this... And this..."

The things I have noticed to have changed in me in the past week:
  1. I crave less coffee. I'm down to about one cup a day. And I usually can't finish it.
  2. My appetite dropped a little last week. Not that it was big to begin with. But I get full more quickly.
  3. I seem to be waking up before my alarm clock goes off. This is usually an indication that your body has found a natural rhythm to its sleeping pattern.
  4. Some female changes were noticed that I won't go into. (Cuz there are boys that read this blog.)
  5. I seem to be having more vivid dreams.
So tonight, when she began putting the needles in my back, my left shoulder muscle spasmed.

"Your left handed!" she said.

"Umm," I said. "Nope. I'm a rightie."

"Hmm," she said. "You carry a lot of tension on your left side. You would see this kind of tension on your more dominate side. But you have it on your left."

Then I thought about it... And I recalled my blog entry from last week where I talked about how I do things with my left side that people would normally do with their right if they were a rightie.

Then I said to her, "Well, I do a lot of things with my left side that people typically do with their right. Maybe I'm not giving my left side credit for that."

"I think you're ambidextrous," she said.

I need to start giving credit to the left side of my body.

In addition to this development; I also felt a lot more tension from the needles. Especially in my lower back, shoulders and crown chakra. So that means that energy is shifting in those areas.

And at the end of the session, she took two little metallic minuscule balls and stuck them in each of my ears. They are very, very tiny. The one in my left ear is for relaxation. The one she put in my right ear was on the "uterus" pressure point (for female stuff.)

She said they would stay in for a few days. Even through the yoga classes, they will still stick.

Sure enough, when I got out of my 7:45pm yoga class tonight, they were still there.

Ah... Therapy!
