^{_{Einstein proved that everything is made of energy ,and radiates energy including our bodies. For 5,000 years practitioners of Acupuncture refer to this energy as Qi. It is the essence in all living things from the tallest tree to the smallest cell.   Inside our bodies this intelligent energetic system maintains balance, unity and health. Qi flows as an invisible current through pathways called meridians which run throughout the body like rivers, nourishing each related organ. Along these meridians there are points which allow access to the Qi.}}

    ^{_{Through careful diagnosis the Acupuncturist selects specific points to help ensure that the Qi is moving without obstruction, and in a smooth, evenly manner. When Qi is balanced and flowing freely, internal stability and harmony occur.  The body flourishes, and full health and vitality are expressed.}}      

   ^{_{"To live is to have Qi in every part of your body moving, to die is to be a body without Qi. In order to be healthy, the proper balance of Qi must be maintained." Classic Chinese Medical text, Nan-Jing, 5th Cent. B.C.}}
