Everything in the manifest world can be understood through yin and yang. Our health, emotions, energy levels, and even the seasons reflect this interdependence. When yin and yang are in harmony, we feel well. When the balance tips too far in one direction, symptoms begin to appear.

At Connecting Point Acupuncture, I believe that true empowerment in health begins with understanding ourselves deeply — not just physically, but emotionally and energetically. Often, we seek healing when symptoms can no longer be ignored. But long before these symptoms appeared, there were signs: subtle whispers from the body, messages asking us to shift, to listen, to change.

The Divergent Channels are part of Classical Acupuncture's sophisticated channel system. Their role is to safely store unresolved pathogens—whether emotional trauma, long-standing infections, or constitutional weaknesses—so they don’t overwhelm the internal organs or vital systems. This storage often allows someone to function, even thrive, for years. But over time, the burden becomes too great, and symptoms arise: autoimmune issues, fatigue, chronic pain, mysterious symptoms that come and go, or long-term emotional stagnation.

Overwhelmed? Grouchy? Irritable? Snappy with your loved ones? In our fast-paced world, stress has become more than just an occasional challenge—it’s a daily companion for many. Whether it stems from work, relationships, or the constant buzz of modern life, prolonged stress takes a toll on the body, mind, and Spirit.
