Welcome to Transformative Acupuncture.

Transformative Acupuncture is the use of acupuncture to support and promote our spiritual practice and development. It begins where traditional acupuncture ends. I use the patterns of Esoteric Acupuncture with the eight Extra or Pre-Natal Meridians (our initial blueprint), to offer a form of acupuncture focused on actively supporting and assisting your spiritual and energetic growth. I can work needle free, using essential oils, for those who prefer.

Transformative Acupuncture is ideal for healers, therapists or those working with meditation, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Yoga, western magical paths or other spiritual disciplines. It is also for those who have simply heard about it and feel drawn to having a treatment.

Benefits of Transformative Acupuncture

Although everyone's experience is unique, the Chakra patterns of Esoteric Acupuncture bring the following benefits:
• A general deepening of your current practice.
• Access to new states of consciousness and awareness.
• Receiving new and deep insights or forms of understanding.
• Dissolving long standing blocks or issues.

The 8 Pre-Natal Meridian treatments enable a deep transformation of our being and also help us to make use of what comes up in the Chakra sessions. The benefits include:
• Resolving of long-standing patterns of behaviour, perception or health issues.
• A realignment of who you think you are.
• A greater sense of purpose as you shift closer to your original blueprint and incarnated intention.

Acupuncture for Personal Growth and Development.

Transformative Acupuncture works on a subtle level to awaken your own inner potentials. It is a truly transformative type of treatment for resolving deep seated patterns, traumas and depressions; helping to reverse a loss of vitality and supporting the healing of mental-emotional imbalances.

Obsessions, imbalances, subtle habits that get in our way; all can be signs of where we might need some attention. Untying these energetic knots can not only free up energy and vitality within us but it helps us to return to our 'true shape' of who we are meant to be; fulfilling our destiny. I am very happy to work with you on a long-term basis on supporting your personal healing and self-crafting.

Acupuncture to Support Your Spiritual Practice.

The patterns of Transformative Acupuncture support your own inner work and practice and assist us in accessing other states of consciousness inline with our own spiritual disciplines. Transformative Acupuncture uses Esoteric Acupuncture Patterns to work with each of the chakras to awaken and support the functioning of these energy centres. These are interspersed with sessions using a deeper set of meridians known as the Eight Pre-Natal Meridians, to help reconnect us to our true nature and help to reset and balance our physical and emotional selves. In this way the more subtle energies of the chakra patterns become grounded and balanced in our physical bodies.

What are treatments like?

Unlike in traditional acupuncture, in Esoteric Acupuncture, the needles are inserted only very superficially. The intention is not to elicit a physical response but to create a pattern which works on a more subtle level. Sessions can be very powerful and feel very different from a traditional acupuncture treatment. (See the Treatment Guidance Pages for more detailed information on what happens in a treatment session and afterwards)

Needle Free Treatments.

If you prefer, I can use Essential Oils instead of acupuncture needles. A small drop of (diluted) Frankincense is placed on each point to build up the pattern or to open the Extraordinary Meridians. You can swap between using needles and Essential Oils as you wish. Let me know before a treatment if you would like this style of application.

Further Information and Questions.

Transformative, Spiritual or Esoteric Acupuncture (as it is usually known), is still little known and not widely available in the UK. If you feel you would like to talk to myself; Lynden Swift or book a treatment, please get in touch via email or the contact page.
