Sama-Sama:  Group Healing Session

Experience the Healing Benefits of Group Healing Sessions
Feel Well Acupuncture is proud to offer Sama-Sama Sessions as an affordable and simple way to experience Acupuncture & Reiki.
Sama-Sama means "together-together" and reflects the intention and spirit behind our community acupuncture sessions.   Acupuncture itself is an effective and age old system of healing that focuses on the whole person:  mind, body,  spirit.  When offered in a group setting, acupuncture becomes more accessible and the effect can be outstanding.  There are no barriers:  just openness and sharing in the healing experience.   Sama-Sama brings these elements together in a peaceful and safe environment where healing of mind & body is cultivated.      

Sama-Sama is open to all and is a wonderful and affordable introduction to acupuncture. Feel free to bring a friend or family member to share in the healing together.   Based on your comfort level, you may choose to recline in Savasana (a yoga resting pose) or relax in a chair.  Treatment is simple and streamlined using a five point ear acupuncture protocol that accesses the major systems of energy in the body.  Benefits of Sama-Sama include relief from stress and anxiety, improved sleep, increased energy, and more.  Mostly, you will feel an overall sense of renewal, rejuvenation, and calm.

The NADA Protocol
This protocol of 5 needles inserted in specific points
in the ear yield a wide range of health benefits.
 These acupuncture sessions can help you:
  • alleviate stress
  • lose weight & reduce food cravings
  • quit smoking
  • sleep better
  • lower blood pressure
  • feel more energetic
  • feel more optimistic
  • overcome addictions
  • alleviate the symptoms of depression, anxiety, or PTSD
  • alleviate pain
Savasana 
(Final Resting Pose or Corpse Pose)
This relaxing yoga pose is usually performed at the end of yoga practice to reflect and quietly unite mind and body.  It involves laying flat on your yoga mat with your body in neutral position.  Arms are at your sides with palms open as if to receive healing energy from your environment.  Legs are extended and feet are slightly turned out.  Let your body, from the top of your head to the tip of your toes, relax and release any tension. 

Benefits of Savasana:
  • Calms the brain and helps relieve stress and mild depression. 
  • Relax the body.
  • Reduces headache, fatigue, and insomnia.
  • Helps to lower blood pressure.

Reiki
In Japanese, Reiki means Universal Life Force. Reiki is a healing practice that promotes balance in mind, body, and spirit. Reiki is safe, non-invasive and gentle. Most people notice a difference after just one treatment and report that the benefits grow with each consecutive session.

Reiki is a great complement to Acupuncture as both help encourage our ability to naturally heal, relax and rejuvenate mind, body, & spirit. 

 
If you are looking for help with any of the above concerns, the Sama-Sama Group Acupuncture sessions are a safe and affordable way to start.  Patients typically report a sense of relaxation and improved well-being during and after the treatments.  Many even fall asleep during their session!
