Ear Acupuncture
at Crossings Healingworks
Offered in a group setting, ear-acupuncture helps people sleep and think more clearly, increases their energy, and enhances their ability to focus. It helps people tap into their own reserves for balance and rejuvenation and initiates a soothing process that helps people find quiet and comfort within themselves. Individuals who decline to receive needles will benefit from magnetic pellets placed on particular locations on the outer ear, and sitting with others in the peaceful state induced by acupuncture.
We use the following points. Each one impacts the body, the mind and the spirit in a particular way.
Kidney assists people in accessing their deepest, quietest selves. It helps to balance hormonal function, particularly adrenal secretion of cortisol; it quiets fear and agitation and restores inner calm and control. It provides us a sense of security and stability and helps us access our will.
Liver helps with resolving anger and frustration and with keeping our emotions and physiological systems moving smoothly. It helps eliminate toxins, relieve muscle cramps and stimulates vitality. It aids clear thinking and decision-making and relieves frustration, anger and depression. It helps us see new beginnings and find hope.
Shen Men or Spirit Gate helps settle the heart and the mind. It improves sleep, alleviates pain and tension, and reduces hypertension. It offers relief for anxiety, depression, and restlessness. It opens a sense of connection to our spiritual side, and enhances our ability to love ourselves and others.

Sympathetic Nervous System has a strong analgesic and relaxant effect on internal organs. It balances the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. It reduces epinephrine/norepinephrine, and calms, soothes and supports our ability to go inside and find quiet, healing spaciousness.
Lung provides inspiration for letting go and helps us receive inspiration from the heavens. It regulates the pores, protects the body from disease, and brings in the breath. It helps us regulate grief and sadness; it reminds us of our connection with the heavens and improves our sense of connection with beauty in each other.
