Accupuncture & Relaxation  

Time:  10u00 - 11u00 en 11u15 – 11u15

Where:  Body & Mind Studio UMSports

 

• Are you feeling stressed out?
• So busy with studying for your exams or finishing your thesis?
• Do you need a moment to calm down, and do absolutely nothing?

Then maybe this Acupuncture & Stress Relief session is something for you.

With a small group, you will use our Body & Mind Studio to relax, unwind and meditate. To help you with this, we have invited a licensed acupuncturist who will perform Auricular (ear) acupuncture. 

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the ear contains acupuncture points that can reduce for example anxiety, stress and pain symptoms and help to calm your mind and relax your body. That is why the acupuncturist will place small needles in your outer ears. This will take about 3 minutes per person.

For the next 30 – 45 minutes, you simply rest with the needles in your ears. You can stay seated on the chair or choose to sit or (carefully) lie down on one of the mats laid out for you. Many people describe the experience as deeply relaxing – like a meditation for the body and mind. A moment of doing absolutely nothing.

Before the session starts, the procedure will be briefly explained and you will be asked to fill out and intake form, confirming that you understand the procedure.
