What is Esoteric Acupuncture?
It’s scientifically proven that our physical and emotional health are deeply connected to our thoughts and behavioral patterns. This is why, if you track back any physical or mental health condition, it can often be traced back to some emotion, self-image, or behavior.
For instance, someone struggling with extreme anxiety might have an unrealistic expectation of always being in control of everything in their life to feel safe. So whenever an unexpected and uncomfortable situation arises, their anxiety kicks in and triggers feelings of restlessness, brain fog, sweating, or shortness of breath. Experiencing such fight or flight responses on a frequent basis can build up stress and tension in the body over a period of time resulting in chronic health issues like Hypertension. This is just one example of such infinite equations.
Besides health, our thoughts also define all other areas of our lives like our career, our purpose, relationships, and wealth. As they say, you attract what you think. So it won't be wrong to say that if you feel dissatisfied in any area of your life, its reason perhaps is linked to some blocks existing in your energy field and thought pattern. And it’s asking for your attention.
But what if we told you that you can heal these energy blocks holding you back, to an awakened awareness that will guide you to live your life to the fullest potential? Yes, it is possible and this is what Esoteric Acupuncture is all about.

Origins
Esoteric Acupuncture, founded by Dr. Mikio Sankey, Ph.D., L.Ac is an emerging branch of the ancient Chinese Acupuncture practice focused on creating energy balance in the body to live an overall happy, healthy, and fulfilling life.
What is Esoteric Acupuncture?
Esoteric Acupuncture is an acupuncture practice of clearing and balancing the energy spin points in the body (Chakras) using sacred geometric patterns and a sequence of needle placement.
It focuses on awakening, expanding, and aligning your body’s energy frequencies to propel you to live a life matching the truest potential of your mind, body, and soul.
The Ideology Behind Esoteric Acupuncture
Each of us is born with limitless potential, however the stress and humdrum of life can cause an imbalance or blockage in our energy fields. These blocks hold us back from living our best lives, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Imbalanced energy blocks left unresolved often manifest themselves into a variety of physical and spiritual ailments like pain and stiffness, disease, or medical conditions impacting the organ or body part nearest to the affected energy center (Chakra).
This is why it is vital to our well-being to proactively make sure that our body’s energy centers are balanced and aligned with our consciousness. This forms the foundation behind Esoteric Acupuncture.
Chakras And How Is It Linked To Esoteric Acupuncture
Chakras (translates to ‘wheel’ in Sanskrit) are intangible energy spin points that lie on your spine line starting from the top of the head to the tail of the spine. There are 7 on-body chakras, each corresponding to the bundle of nerves, organs and body parts located within close proximity. Thus, it is important that the Chakras are balanced and ‘open’ for our mental, physical, emotional health and vitality.
Chakras trace back their roots in Ayurvedic Medicine which is an ancient Hindu alternative medicine system. Ayurveda originated more than 3,000 years ago in India and is known to be the oldest holistic healing system in the world. It works on the principle that our mind, body, and soul need to be in balance and work in alignment with each other for our overall health and wellness.
Esoteric Acupuncture combines the principles of Ayurveda with Acupuncture. It is performed by placing needles in sacred geometric patterns on the body to open up the chakras and expand consciousness to strengthen the body, mind, and soul.
Prevention & Wellness
This is the biggest distinction between Esoteric Acupuncture and other types of Acupuncture. While other acupuncture practices are mostly for therapeutic and treatment purposes, Esoteric Acupuncture is more prevention and wellness oriented. This means that, unlike other practices, it aims to prevent the need for any treatment by taking care of the overall health and wellbeing of the body in advance. This is done by clearing the Chakras to keep them open, balanced, and energetically aligned.
“The power of acupuncture is to harmonize and strengthen the body systems before a disease stage, but the power of esoteric acupuncture is to work with consciousness and strengthen the center which consists of the various levels of your heart.” Dr. Mikio Sankey, Founder of Esoteric Acupuncture and Author of Esoteric Acupuncture: Gateway to Expanded Healing
Process of Esoteric Acupuncture
Step 1: You will be asked to lie face-down on the massage table and relax.
Step 2: The practitioner carries out Chakras analysis on your back and finalizes the sacred geometric patterns to be sequenced on your back for this session.
Step 3: Acupuncture needles are placed on your back in the identified geometric pattern (Tetrahedron being the most common one) following a specific sequence. Guided visualization may be used by the practitioner based on whether it is seen as required or not.
Step 4: You will be left alone in the treatment room for about 30-40 minutes to allow the needles to stimulate the healing energy and for you to reach a deep meditative state. The practitioner might also put some soft meditative music and essential oils in the room, elevating the healing state.
Step 5: Upon the practitioner’s return, the same process is repeated with the face-up with needle placement retained for 15-20 minutes.
What is the duration of an Esoteric Acupuncture session?
One Esoteric Acupuncture session typically lasts about 80 to 90 minutes.
How many Esoteric Acupuncture sessions are needed for optimal results?
For treatment or therapeutic purposes, one Esoteric Acupuncture session every 21 days is usually recommended as an alternative treatment alongside the ongoing treatments.
For enhancing self-awareness and body energy fields, you can undergo an Esoteric Acupuncture session once a month to amplify the potential of each session.
Who is it for?
Esoteric Acupuncture is for anyone who wants to live a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life in alignment with their life’s purpose. In addition to spiritual awakening and enhancing the body’s energy fields, Esoteric Acupuncture is also used to help heal emotional and physical ailments. This is why it is often used as an alternative treatment alongside other treatment modalities. It helps to improve and fast-track the healing process.
