Zinnia provided us with a brief history of her acupuncture practice and a description of what makes Attentive Dragon an outstanding choice for people seeking relief from chronic pain, seasonal allergies, and other ailments.
The healing model that underlies Zinnia’s work is one that sees the body as part of a positive continuum that is our reality. When fear, tension, and other negative influences distort this continuum, the distortions of reality that we label as “illness” come into being. Zinnia’s role is to discover where these distortions (blockages) have occured, and release that blockage, with therapeutic touch, acupuncture treatment, and/or herbal remedies.
Discovery entails a great deal of listening for Zinnia. Her goal is to develop a whole understanding of her patient’s work life, social network, support system, and habits of diet and exercise. Each of these areas can be a source of strength; they can also become depleted through inattention or the cultivation of negative habits. And a depleted body is more prone to illness, injury, and accident.
Zinnia’s approach allows her clients to find and express their best selves. When this image of the self is brought into the foreground of our attention, the health of the body will improve itself.
