About Acupuncture

"Acupuncture does not cure, balance does. We never treat a disease, we treat you." unknown
​
​Acupuncture is done by inserting very fine needles in specific points on the body to influence the Qi (Energy)  in properly flowing, re-establishing  the body's rhythm with it's natural cycles and the cycles of nature. It is safe and works well in cooperation with other medical care.  Acupuncture is a form of medicine originating from Asia and over 2000 years old. The Chinese observed that the universe is two polarities of Yin and Yang and of Five Elements: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood. They also observed that human beings are a microcosm, or a reflection of nature, and have both the polarities and the elements with in them. Illness or disease happens when all or one of the elements are weak or out of balance causing the energy (Qi or Life Force) not to flow properly.​

About Niasziih Healing

I practice Niasziih healing both by itself and along with acupuncture and acupressure. The healing looks very similar to hands on Reiki or acupressure and Qi Gong.  I also hold at my office clinics at my office, once a month or every two months with 3-5 other practitioners working on one or more people at once. (If your interested in coming to a clinic, either contact me directly or sign up for emails at the top of this website.) 

​Niasziih (pronounced Nia-Z-I) is a holistic, nature based body, mind, and spirit healing modality.  Niasziih roughly translates as "vessel of healing" and combines the concepts of "oneness" and "fusion of flesh and spirit". 

Niasziih has been recently named, but was an art form and way of life and healing practiced by the elder, scout, shaman and holy man, Stalking Wolf, who passed along his knowledge from his Lipin Apache lineage to other healers. 
In 1998, I began my lifelong journey into Niasziih of both learning and of experience through practice when I started taking classes at the Tracker School taught by Tom Brown Jr., one of Stalking Wolf's students who has passed along these teachings and this philosophy.  

I must reiterate that this is a lifelong journey that requires much learning and practice. I hope to truly to be and become the healer that Tom Brown describes in the quote below.  Because of the expansiveness of this modality, words are very hard to describe what actually goes on in this healing philosophy, but I will attempt to give you a translation and description of how I personally understand it be. 

"First of all, the healer must be one with the Earth. He has had to find the time to understand himself through the eyes of nature, learning who he is and where he fits in. He has had to break down the barriers that keep him separated from the natural world so that there is no inner or outer dimension. His prime source of understanding and knowledge must come to him from the Earth, and he must realize that he is nothing more than a hollow vessel that the Earth uses to heal. He listens with his heart not with his head, and he truly cares for people. He loves his enemies, for he believes that no matter what you send out, so too will you get in return. His care toward the land and his brothers and sisters is a powerful driving force. He is not only a healer of people but a healer of animals, plants, and Earth. His power can be felt in the love he has for his patient and the faith he has in the Creator."

​Niasziih is a philosophy of choice that helps to heal the wounds that affect our body, mind, and spirit and while mining them for their potential gems and gifts.  Our job as a healer is to help people them help themselves to change their perspective so they can shift and heal themselves bu making new choices. Niasziih is aimed at bringing balance and awareness to patterns and belief structures that keep us from living life to it's fullest in peace, love, joy and purpose.

One of our greatest goals is help them to choose a powerful story for their lives and then to aid and facilitate their journey of  building bridges from their current reality into a newly discovered story.
