It’s been several months (five, to be exact) since I last paid a visit to my acupuncturist. I was seeing her religiously every other week up until the end of March 2009. At first I sought out acupuncture to help reduce stress, anxiety, sleeplessness, and most importantly, to help me regulate my cycles after being on the pill for so many years. And it worked! But then my expectations changed. I haven’t been able to admit this to myself until now, but I wanted acupuncture to help us get our BFP. Those are unrealistic expectations and I should have caught myself sooner. It fixed what I needed it to, and it was time to move on. But the break-up with my acupuncturist was still so hard. I developed almost a friendship with her and I knew she was rooting for us from the bottom of her heart.
With the changing of the seasons and two months, going on three, of pumping my body full of chemicals I decided it was time to push the rest button. I made an acupuncture appointment and it was absolutely lovely. It was so good to see her. She mostly worked on my back to help energize and cleanse. She also worked on a scar that I have on my right shoulder blade from a mole removal. She said her teacher believes that scars can inhibit the flow of your qi and apparently the right shoulder is a ripe spot for fertility.
I have zero expectations coming out of this session beyond a simple reset. I definitely feel refreshed. I will see her again in a month for another reset. Sometimes you just need to feel like you’re turning a new page. Leaving the has been behind you, and looking ahead to everything that could be.
