Acupuncturists use hands and fingertips to palpate clients and to take their pulses. As our practice deepens, our hands and fingers become ears and eyes to the client’s body. In my session with clients, when I palpate their bodies, I often receive the energy that the body is holding as visual images and/or emotions through my hands. My sensitivity is more geared toward detecting emotions that are residing in the body and how they affect the overall health of the clients.
