Equine Acupuncture Training- Articles

By LaVaughn Hengst I'm an American living in Germany and have followed with interest all the developments in Energy Psychology in the last 3 years since I first came in contact with your homepage. I have a B.A. in Psychology (U. of Ill.), am a Heilpraktikerin for Psychology and a Heilpraktikerin and Acupuncturist for animals in Germany. I not telling you this to impress you - I mention it only to make clear why the development of EFT in regard to animals is of particular interest to me. Even though animals do have meridians and points, the best way to do EFT for animals supposedly is by surrogate or proxy tapping. This means you tap on yourself to make the changes in the animal happen. (I'm sure that you're familiar with all of this by now.) Even though the animal doesn't even have to be near you or connected to you in anyway, supposedly the 2 energy systems are connected. This supports a basic idea of TCM in that "one's every action influences everyone

I personally would not recommend you use laser. Just the same in certain circumstances it is useful. Using it often will inhibit your ability to develop acupuncture sensation skills as well as point location skills. Acupuncture needling sensation is a beautiful sensation to be a part of. I would rather recommend people learn this. If they do not feel comfortable with this then they can do moxa or acupressure and then laser. Having a laser will not give you any skills and does not give a guarantee of any success. Just like with needling successful results can only be achieved by correct point usage for the condition. Just doing lasering or even needling will not achieve any result. Knowledge of the points is necessary and also knowledge which does work. There are many treatment prescriptions out there which do not work and you may very well be disappointed in the results. Uses of lasers. Lasers can be useful in horses which do not like needling or for people who do not like to

It does not work via nerves or some physical chemical or irritant response. Here is the best way I know to explain how it works. Consider your house. Flowing through it is air. You cannot see it but you can feel it and you certainly know when it is not there. Within the body are also flowing airs. As you breath you are making them also ‘breath” and flow. You cannot see them. You cannot cut them and you cannot find them in a dead body. As they flow they irrigate the parts of the physical body that they flow by and have also a effect on the blood flow. They are the intelligence of the body, ‘body intelligence’. These airs are what is called chi, meaning Life or life-force. Acupuncture has mapped these airs in detail and learned how to make use of them. Back to our house example. If you lock the doors and windows and go away for a week or two when you return it is very stuffy . This is like an illness in the body. Clearing the illness is akin to opening the doors and windows in th

Acupuncture is a healing method and your intention is at the core of the healing. Acupuncture is not a medical procedure and is not a placebo effect. If it is considered that way results will be inconsistent, not conclusive and not rewarding in one‘s spirit. In treatment once you have come up with the initial diagnosis then you decide on a prescription and as you refine the diagnosis you change the prescription. For example initial diagnosis may be Kidney Yin deficiency but you then notice signs also of Liver Yin deficiency and then signs of Liver Fire. This is before even any needles are inserted. The area or areas where stagnation is occurring and causing illness can also be intuited. It is not usually a case of just inserting the needles, like a machine. There is something else that can occur if you are not using laser or red-light or electrical stimulation. And this extra thing makes the healing interaction very rewarding. You actually feel the chi, sometimes translated as the lif

Acupuncture does not involve injections. No substance is in the needles. Some veterinarians may use injections of Vitamin B12 etc and call this acupuncture or aquapuncture but it is not acupuncture and will not work as acupuncture except is so far as the insertion of a needle by itself will activate an acupuncture energy response. This is also happening with scar tissue therapy where injections are used. This is not likely to be any more effective than a dry needling acupuncture treatment. Some people use injections and call it acupuncture as they do not have the necessary training to know how acupuncture really works. They cannot feel the energy and so cannot tell when the energy shifts, as when actual acupuncture is working. Some veterinarians say they are practitioners of acupuncture but always prescribe some veterinary medicines for the same symptoms so they are using the word ‘acupuncture’ to widen their practice and make more money. This is a shameful practice and also sham
