People new to acupuncture sometimes get anxious about whether or not the needles are going to hurt. Some are unable to relax during the entire treatment due to worrying that any slight movement with the needles in them will result in pain. So what strategy do you have for helping a patient relax? I use qigong - either 9 threading breaths or the Inner Cosmic Smile to prepare the patients for their acupuncture session.
