MAGNETIC ACUPUNCTURE - Spot Magnets

Times Energy Predominates In Specific

In the books "A Practical Guide to Magnet Therapy" and "Magnetic Healing" and in the short pieces done for newsletters, there are many references to the use of spot magnets as slow release acupuncture.
One aspect of acupuncture that causes the most confusion is the choice of which points to use.
One very simple system for making that choice is the "ouch" test. Press the points with a match stick and where the patient goes "ouch" stick your magnet. This sounds so easy that it must be a joke, but I have seen it work many times.
For those who wish for a more scientific approach there is a need for a considerable amount of knowledge. One aspect of this  will be the complete understanding of the energy pathways flowing through the body. Although the usual charts do not show the :meridians" as joining each other, in fact they do connect and the energy flows in a continuous closed loop.  This "loop" is made up of the classical meridians and the connecting parts (those parts not shown on the usual charts).  Energy exists in all parts of this loop at all times. When we talk of a flow of energy we are referring to relative levels of energy or put another way to variation in the level of energy. 
Following the "wave" of energy variation gives a flow.
These flows and the consequent level of energy  are similar to the flows and variation of the earth energy, in that the seasons and times of day do  have an influence on the level of energy in a specific part of the loop at a
specific time of year and time of day.

PETER ROSE - MAGNET THERAPY & SHIATSU CONSULTATIONS IN ESSEX  
Peter is in the process of consulting with other expert therapists, from a variety of natural medicine disciplines, over the setting up of a central  workshop " meeting place".  A sort of 'workshops R us'  cooperative. The basic idea is that any person who is interested in attending workshops on any natural medicine subject, registers that interest and  'workshops R us' will then try to match the interest to high quality, high value workshops.   To register your interest please e mail peter on;  peter-rose2000@hotmail.com
