I am writing in response to false claims recently made in the media about the safety of Esoteric Chakra-puncture.
I will qualify my response by including my professional background. I have studied a 4 year Bachelor of Health Science specialising in Acupuncture, a Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine (through the University of Western Sydney), lectured in musculo-skeletal anatomy within an acupuncture degree program as well as writing subjects for the Bachelor of Health Science (acupuncture). I have also worked in several hospitals in China, my first internship was for 6 weeks specialising in acupuncture and then again 4 years later specialising in herbal medicine and gynaecology. I have been in practice for 10 years this November, during which time I have owned a successful clinic where I have employed up to 8 staff including admin, massage therapists, acupuncturists and nutrition medicine practitioners. I would consider myself well respected as a health care practitioner, working with and receiving referrals from GP’s, physios, gynaecologists, IVF specialists and the occasional endocrinologist. I have been practising Esoteric Chakra-puncture for 3.5 years and was part of a small group of qualified acupuncturists who worked with Serge Benhayon in the development of Esoteric Chakra-puncture. I am therefore well equipped to discuss the safety of Esoteric Chakra-puncture.
Esoteric Chakra-puncture, like all other modalities taught through Universal Medicine is based on love and integrity. The utmost care is taken to ensure that practitioners adhere to safe practice with consideration to local and state health and safety regulations. I have also presented during Esoteric Chakra-puncture courses on the skin penetration laws. To even suggest that this form of therapy is unsafe shows absolutely no integrity in reporting.
Through my training and experience I can unequivocally say that Esoteric Chakra-puncture is in fact MORE safe then Traditional Chinese Acupuncture (the most common acupuncture practised in Australia). In Esoteric Chakra-puncture the insertion of needles is extremely gentle and superficial much like traditional Japanese acupuncture and it is unusual to cause any bleeding or injury to the skin. I am not saying that traditional Chinese acupuncture causes physical injury, just simply that Esoteric Chakra-puncture is a far more gentler technique and ABSOLUTELY safe.
As a practitioner of Esoteric Chakra-puncture I can also say that the Code of Ethics that each practitioner commits to as part of their accreditation holds the highest level of care and integrity that I have ever seen.

The Truth about Serge Benhayon 
Esoteric Chakrapuncture is deeply settling for the body and gives us an opportunity to connect to the more that we are.
It is very hard to believe anyone would genuinely say Esoteric Chakrapuncture is unsafe if they have actually experienced or even just seen for themselves how it is done. I am very much inclined to say they have to be on some kind of agenda.
As a receiver of Esoteric Chakra-puncture I can say that it feels very different from Acupuncture and also has expanded my understanding of chakras in the body. Recently i had a treatment after several months and I found that it gave me such a boost, I hadn’t realised how far from my potential I had come, a beautiful way to be supported back on track.
Chakra-puncture is nothing like acupuncture, the only similarity is both techniques use needles. Chakra-puncture needles are like very fine fishing wire, and the technique is exceedingly gentle but the effects on the body are extremely profound. All practitioners have a strict code of ethics under the Esoteric Practitioners Association where the integrity and the responsibility of each practitioner is scrutinised and checked annually. It is an honour to be a part of and belong to the EPA.
As a recipient of Esoteric Charka Puncture I can absolutely say it is an incredibly gentle technique and when offered with the level of integrity required by qualified practitioners it is safe beyond any regulations for any other treatments available in any industry/sector.
I only had acupuncture once and really disliked it. The needles were awful as they felt very hard and hurt a lot. Chakra-puncture needles on the other hand are so light that you barely feel them go in and the experience of Chakra-puncture itself is simply gorgeous. I always come away super expanded from it.
The Integrity, quality of service and decency of practitioners that I have received Chakra puncture from is inspiring – and inspires me to bring the same level of deep comittment to people in the work I do.
I have never received acupuncture but from Observing doctors at a GP surgery I work at who give it – it doesn’t look like a pleasant experience. From my experience of Chakra Puncture I could say that It is a far more gentle and stilling approach which seeks not to ‘fix’ the body or it’s pain but to allow someone to surrender and heal themselves. I have never seen anyone walking away from an acupuncture session looking deeply rested, vibrant and delicate – like I have from those who experience Chakra Puncture.
Having read the code of ethics myself, I know what a blessing they were to read let alone live or be treated by someone who abides by this code.
Said with true authority Rebecca, thank you. I have had many chakra-puncture sessions over the past few years and my experience is that it is practised by practitioners with very high levels of integrity and a genuinely loving approach.
Having been the recipient of Esoteric Chakra-puncture for many years, I can say whole heartily the support I have received from every practitioner has been with the utmost care. The modality itself has given me the opportunity to connect to myself on a deeper level and support physical and emotional wellbeing, to a level that no other modality has quite matched.
Having experienced both traditional Chinese acupuncture, and esoteric chakrapuncture, I can say without a shadow of doubt that esoteric chakrapuncture is delivered with the absolute highest levels of integrity by its practitioners and is one of the most safe and supportive healing modalities I have encountered.
I have had many Esoteric Chakra-puncture sessions and can say that not only are the sessions safe, but also through them the support of my health has been outstanding. After every session, I feel calm and a deeper settling within. I also feel my physical body changes and tension dissolves.
Because Esoteric Chakra-puncture works with love and integrity, there is already the sense that it does not come in to fix you, but rather to support you to let out what is already living deep with you. This is very beautiful because there can be no sense of giving your power away to the modality or the practitioner.
I work as a practitioner in Esoteric Chakra-puncture and receive it as a client myself and can vouch for the true integrity that is held throughout every stage of the training process and ongoing practice and also how it is a deeply healing and supportive modality.
From my experience, I wholeheartedly endorse all that you present Rebecca. Chakra-puncture is safe, and a powerful modality, that truly supports us to restore ourselves back to a truly vital and vibrant state of being.
I agree Rebecca. Having undertaken training over the last several years in this modality myself (and having been a recipient of Esoteric Chakra-puncture for many more) I can attest the standards to which we are asked to adhere are rigorous and the application of needles gentle and safe. And the Code of Ethics and Conduct? Second to none.
Thank you for sharing your expertise on this subject Rebecca, you are certainly qualified to do so. I never warmed to Chinese acupuncture myself as I found it uncomfortable and disorientating. I have seen others come out of sessions quite discombobulated also. On the other I have regular Esoteric Chakra-puncture sessions as I find them to be profoundly healing on many different levels and as you have stated I have always found my practitioners to be of the highest integrity and the practice to be extremely gentle and completely safe.
I’m not sure how anyone could argue with this, but I am sure they will find a way. It’s great to read a well rounded and experienced expert opinion like this about a modality that is truly supporting many people ongoingly. This modality is my go to, my treatment that brings a lot more clarity to how I am. I have never had a concern or drama in any treatment for the 7 years I have received it and nor am I seeing anything on the horizon. It is a very gentle and precise form of treatment that offers you a lot physically and on many other levels. Looking for support in life or trying to make sense of life, this is where it comes from.
Its a ridiculous allegation to say that chakra-puncture is not safe. It can only have been made by someone with no regard of the actual facts about how the practice has been self regulated and the ethics and regulatory procedures that have been abided by. My experience of the treatment is that while it is similar to acupuncture in the familiarity of the needling process, its approach and effect goes way beyond that modality. I have found the sessions to be deeply healing for my body, and administered by the practitioners I have attended with the utmost care and professionalism.
It is clear you speak with integrity and from your wealth of experience here Rebecca. I know the benefits from having had many chakra puncture sessions myself, and find them extremely supportive for the body and being.
It’s so irresponsible for the media to make such false reports in an attempt to tarnish an otherwise exemplary record for Chakra Puncture and its safety. Surely we should be celebrating and supporting people who care for humanity with such integrity, as Serge Benhayon does.
Being fairly new to this gentle treatment ( 2 sessions) I am in totally agreement of how your body and mind reacted Doug.
I went for anxiety ( normally a calm person) over having had serious health issues and MRI scans follow up and awaiting results ( sometime 1 month) sent me into total melt down after 2 weeks wait…..Now since finding a practitioner the fears have been totally wiped away. As if its happening to someone else and not me! YES totally agree with amazement your statement ”It feels as if it has wiped the slate clean of all the disharmony I have allowed into my body and gives me an opportunity to re-imprint it differently” I certainly am amazed how easy I can now go into relax mode and heal.
Thank you Doug for sharing this.
I have received Chakra Puncture a number of times and find it to be a very gentle un-intrusive modality that brings very deep stillness and awareness to my body – it reconnects me to my body. It is important that you have spoken professionally Rebecca because this modality offers so much for those that are seeking support and that they have not been able to receive from other techniques. Making false claims in the media is irresponsible but sadly this has become the most common form of reporting for a number of journalist – getting a response or reaction to generate an audience is what it is about with total disregard of the outcome.
I have been a practitioner for over 30years and have to say that the way that the Esoteric Healing Modalities are administered is second to none. There is an energetic integrity in the practitioners which is very rare. I have never come across this level of care and attention, love and consideration that is bestowed upon clients in any other organisation. When I was teaching in a College and around the country I thought I was being so ethically and morally sound, so careful and loving but now I realise that this was a sham compared with how I practise and live my life now since being affiliated with Universal Medicine (since 2005).
The level of integrity, the Code of Ethics are all way beyond anything I have previously come across, I thoroughly recommend this modality.
Thank you Rebecca for sharing your expert experience of chakra-puncture here and I can totally vouch for its safety and efficacy as well. It’s a brilliant and very supportive modality and has helped me personally a great deal and I have also seen how much it has assisted others.
I’ve put my body through a lot of ‘alternative healing’ processes – like pouring hot salty water in one nostril and letting it run out the other, commonly known as ‘netty potting’ in the yoga rings, and speaking of yoga, well I’ve done a lot of that too and had yoga teachers try to balance me on my head and twist and turn in a way that would leave me crippled! As far as healing modalities go, Chakra Puncture is completely enjoyable, nurturing, non-invasive and I walk away with a clear sense of who I am with no compromise.
I never received acupuncture but have received Esoteric Chakra Puncture and it is a very delicate technique and supported me in letting go of a lot of things like tension always leaving me feeling much lighter afterwards.
Having earlier in my life practised Acupuncture for many years, as well as part time teaching/supporting of the modality for one of the major Acupuncture colleges in the UK I can say that I agree with what Rebecca shares here. I have been a Chakra-puncture practitioner since 2009 and agree this is an amazing modality in every way, and is the modality I have chosen to practise.
I am also well equipped to say something about Esoteric Chakra-Puncture. In a nutshell it is an absolutely wonderful modality. Very gentle and extremely powerful. It is truly a great gift to humanity and will one day be widely accepted and respected as such. I have had hundreds of sessions over many, many years and benefitted immensely. Previously I had acupuncture which was very different and felt quite invasive and imposing in comparison. Since about 2 years my husband and I have also started to attend the training courses so we can give each other and friends sessions as needed.
Mega thanks to Serge Benhayon for bringing through this modality and to Michael Benhayon for his key and huge contribution to the modality and the many sessions he has given to me that have been such a healing and support in my life. Also big thanks to you Rebecca and Neil Ringe for your contributions… not only is Esoteric Chakra Puncture the most wonderful healing modality it is led by an exemplary team of superb practitioners.
Rebecca thank you for expressing your power and authority about the facts of Chakra-puncture, your wisdom and experience is welcomed and drowns out any lies or false allegations about this truly profound modality.
I don’t like needles – I don’t like getting blood taken and used to run a mile from school when the vaccination bus would arrive. However, I love Chakra-Puncture. It’s gentle, non invasive, non imposing and I can’t even feel the needles while they are in. What I do feel is absolutely support by warm blankets and care from the practitioner so it’s very easy to surrender and feel the wonders of energy within.
“Esoteric Chakra-puncture, like all other modalities taught through Universal Medicine is based on love and integrity.” As a recipient of many esoteric Chakra-puncture sessions I have felt the love and integrity of the practitioner that supports me to feel the love within my own body.
When I reflect on Chakra-Puncture sessions I have had I would say always the words that come to me are delicate, integrity and care….and with that a surrender and depth in the session comes naturally. It is a powerful and very stilling treatment that is of great benefit.
I’ve received many, many Chakra-puncture treatments from Universal Medicine practitioners over the years and each session has supported me to re-connect with myself and my health. I can feel the integrity with which the practitioners live from how they treat themselves, others and the quality in which they live all aspects of their lives. Chakra-puncture is a science that supports my body to activate its natural rhythms, a wonderful support in a world that doesn’t always feel like it has my best interests at heart!
It is absolutely true Rebecca, Esoteric Chakra-puncture is safer than Acupuncture by a long way. For starters the needle insertion is so shallow there is nothing to ‘hit’ so to speak that could cause any significant discomfort, let alone injury. Having practised both, Chakra-puncture for many more years now than Acupuncture, I can also say the results are far more sustaining and powerful too. It is a very long time since l’ve felt any need to draw from my Chinese Medicine teachings, despite being an avid student at the time, thoroughly immersed in the TCM theory and approach. That for me says it all… if it worked better or felt safer, I would still use it in my practise.
This modality really is heaven sent. The way it works, how we can drop our hurts, protections and live from a place of truth, coming back to our essence and who we truly are. All with the support of a practitioner that will always love and honour the modality and all it has to offer.
In my own experience of Esoteric Chakra-puncture (I am a practitioner-in-training in this modality, and have received many sessions), the integrity, standards and protocols I have consistently experienced in the preparation and application of this needling technique have been second to none. The level of detail brought to this is impeccable, without question.
Anything stating otherwise clearly comes from a desire to fuel ill-rumours, as has been the pattern of behaviour of a small group of cyber-bullies intent on smearing anything associated with Universal Medicine they seem to be able to get their hands on. Inexcusable behaviour. And what a travesty that the truth of the matter actually has to be stated out loud.
A statement that smashes any false claims that have been made about the modality of Esoteric Chakra-puncture being ‘unsafe’. Thank-you for bringing your clear voice, dedication, years of experience and authority to this travesty Rebecca.
The code of ethics for Esoteric Chakra-puncture practitioners is I am sure the most strident on the planet. Each practitioner has committed without exception to a way of living that is free of drugs and alcohol (only one tiny aspect of the code). Imagine the clarity that provides in their ability to be present with and support their clients.
Esoteric Chakra-puncture genuinely is a very safe form of therapy and from personal experience I can say that it is also incredibly supportive. The attention to detail of integrity in every aspect of it sets the bar for me on the level of integrity that can be brought to any healing modality.
Your professional background is truly remarkable and gives you the absolute authority to say that for the media to suggest that chakra-puncture is unsafe, shows no integrity in reporting. From the authority in which you stand in you experience of both, thank you for setting the record straight for it is a crime against such a gentle yet powerful healing modality not to.
I absolutely agree Rebecca Chakra-puncture like all Universal Medicine complementary modalities is practiced with the upmost integrity the responsibility the practitioners take to commit to as part of their regular reassessed accreditation hold an extremely high level of care and integrity.
I can’t claim to be a medical expert but I have had many chakra-puncture sessions and find them to be hugely supportive and completely safe. The practitioners I have seen all work with a very high level of care for their patients and with a level of integrity I have not experienced in other complementary health and wellbeing practices.
Thank you Rebecca, I can only speak for chakra puncture as a practitioner but the level of care and integrity we need to be able to work is the highest order, just as it should be. From a client point of view, I have noticed an amazing difference in the practitioner as well as the outcomes and would not now go back to acupuncture. For me, I just find the whole experience to be much more caring.
Rebecca I fully agree. Having experienced traditional Chinese acupuncture and the pain associated with the depths some of the needles were inserted I felt uncomfortable at times. Whereas with Esoteric Chakra-puncture the needles barely penetrate the skin. One of the differences for me is that the practitioner is not looking for a change or a reaction. The only way is to try it for yourself the differences then can fully be felt.
I haven’t had traditional acupuncture but I have had more than my fair share of blood tests and being required to give blood. I can tell when the nurse is having an off day or when they are present and caring by how the needle goes in and how the needle is taken out afterwards. With all Esoteric Chakra-Puncture I have only ever felt a deep level of care as they work along the body to insert the needles. Sometimes the quality is so deep and unimposing I don’t even feel the needle going into my skin nor when it comes to the removal, of which because they are on the very surface of the skin they just brush away.
As someone who has received Chakra-puncture, practised it, studied it, I can absolutely agree with Rebecca… this is super safe, super gentle and super supportive. Anyone who writes differently has clearly never experienced it and must have an alternate agenda.
Thank you for putting the record straight Rebecca, I have studied many forms of complementary healing and never have I come across a modality that comes anywhere near to the integrity and professionalism used in the Esoteric Healing Modalities. Chakra Puncture is setting new world standards.
I too have seen the standards of chakra puncturists trained by universal medicine, to be the highest in the world. The ethics, attention to detail and morality are second to none.
I can definitely vouch for the truly amazing results I have received from Chakra Puncture and the change it brings to my body. I have just recently been given Chakra Puncture and my body truly responds with an open heart. Thank you Rebecca for your sharing.
As a recipient of Chakra Puncture I have found the modality un-intrusive and profoundly settling in my body. The healing release it has allowed in my body has enhanced my health and awareness. I appreciate what you have shared Rebecca and I have found this to be the practice of the Chakra Puncture Practitioner that has attended me. Thanks for the concise and clear article Rebecca.
Esoteric Chakra-Puncture is a beautiful modality. Having had many of these sessions for at least 3 years now I can say that the quality of these treatments, like all other truly practiced Esoteric Modalities from Universal Medicine, is of the highest integrity I have ever experienced. Never ever have I felt unsafe, concerned or that something dodgy was afoot, only a deep level of support, transparency and understanding.
As a Level 2 trained Chakra Puncture practitioner by Universal Medicine, I can also attest to the strict guidelines for safe practice and hygiene, all in accordance with state authorities. In fact, I would say that Chakra Puncture has the best ethics anywhere due to this modality being part of the Esoteric Practitioners Association. The care and professional support offered to practitioners is exemplary.
Having experienced the joy, healing and tender love that is felt during a session, I can categorically say the chakra puncture is safe, professional and deeply healing. I spent over 2 years having acupuncture, coming out the other side still riddled with anxiety, incessant thoughts, racy, depressed and not feeling any joy in my life at all. On the flip side, having experienced consistent chakra puncture over a few years, I now do not experience any of the above behaviours, quite the opposite, I have a life that is joyful, connected, committed and full of love, very different.
In Chakra-puncture, the body is offered such an opportunity to discard energetic blockages, that then allow for an very deep connection to stillness and spaciousness to be felt. This feeling and awareness is profound as it reveals the depth and extent of how deep healing the human body can go.
Chakra-Puncture is an absolutely awesome modality, which I have had the pleasure of having many, many times and each time has been a very healing experience. Who very said that it was unsafe in any way obviously has never experienced it. Great clear article Rebecca.
Than you Rebecca for offering an overview about Chakra-Puncture. It is indeed a deeply healing modality offering the body to re connect to an exquisite stillness within. Especially as stillness is what is lacking in our busy modern day living.
I completely concur with you Carolien that “The code of ethics that each practitioner abides by is of a standard that I have never seen before in any of the modalities I used to work with. Not only is the care and safety of the client covered but also the lovingness of the practitioner which sets a whole new standard when it comes to professional ethics.” In the 15 years as a complementary health practitioner prior to training and practising the Esoteric Healing modalities I never before experienced such a high level of integrity and loving compassion in any practitioner or in the training.
Esoteric Chakra-puncture is such a profound modality. I always feel so deeply held in my own love when I receive it, like I am cocooned in love, which then allows me to tenderly see what is not love in my life. This awareness helps me to then make more loving choices. It is very empowering.
I so agree Emily, I have also experienced TCM acupuncture and Esoteric Chakra Puncture. With the acupuncture I was being treated once a week for over a year and a half and felt absolutely NO difference, in fact I later had glandular fever, so the acupuncture had not been supporting me in any way. I then moved to experience Esoteric Chakra Puncture and the changes were immediate. I could feel how much calmer and with myself I was, it did take time, as no modality is a ‘quick fix’, but I did keep up with regular session and they have literally transformed my life. Amazingly so.
I agree Gina, I too have been a patient of Rebecca’s, so seen and felt first hand the amazing outcomes from experiencing chakra puncture. The dedication is second to none by Rebecca and other Esoteric Therapies practitioners. I can vouch with all my heart the healing that has occurred in my life and of those around me, from this incredible modality.
Since receiving Esoteric Chakra-puncture for the first time over 5 years ago and having regular sessions since, I can hands down say my life has transformed as a result of having Chakra-puncture. I was full of anxiety, depressed, didn’t like myself, had no idea what it meant to be gentle or tender with myself, or connected to my body. It did take time, commitment and a willingness on my part to take responsibility for a lot of things, but the Chakra-puncture was instrumental in me learning to connect with myself and my body.
Esoteric Chakra Puncture is gentle, loving and supportive that holds the highest integrity. Just like the Practioner who administers the needles. It’s amazing how a minute pinprick into the surface of the skin can have such a profound effect on your body.
Your credentials and levels of relevant experience provide a solid credibility to this testimony and reinforce the strength of the true differentiators behind this modality – the integrity of the chakra-puncture practice itself and the ethical code upon which it stands.
Esoteric Chakra Puncture is an awesome modality and has been an incredible support to me and my body.
Thank you Rebecca. I have received many Esoteric Chakra-puncture sessions and was very aware of the wonderful support they offered me that I have trained and qualified as a practitioner so that I can share this modality with others. The Code of Conduct and Ethics requires every practitioner to live with love and integrity with all that they do and this way of living is felt with every needle.
Hear Hear Rebecca, this is always been my experience. I have been seeing Esoteric Chakra puncture practitioners for many years now and can say every single session, I have been treated with the utmost professionalism, love and an extremely high level of experience. The chakra puncture itself has transformed my life. It is a modality that is truly amazing and I would recommend to anyone for any type of issue they may be presenting with, as it is so diverse and works across so many many life issues.
I can testify to the integrity and absolute love with which each and every needle is placed onto the skin in a chakra-puncture session. The outpouring of love and integrity from Universal Medicine never ever slows or stalls it is a constant and this would be the case for all of the modalities.
I have had Chakrapuncture and can testify that it is a very gentle modality practiced in a very safe, warm and lovely environment. Thank you Rebecca for developing this modality we can now enjoy.
I am not a fan of needles per se and only had acupuncture once in my life, but I have experienced countless Esoteric Chakra-puncture sessions. I love Esoteric Chakra-puncture and out of all of the esoteric healing modalities it is my favourite as I get to relax very deeply and let go and is the healing modality I find, connects me most deeply with my essence. I never worry about the needles and most often feel very little as they go in. I know that I am completely safe in the hands of any esoteric chakra-puncturist from Universal Medicine and choose any esoteric healing practitioner any day as their consistency and commitment to Love and the care of people IS solid.
Shevonsimon, the fact that you are ‘not a fan of needles’ and love Esoteric Chakra-puncture clearly illustrates how gentle and unimposing the modality is.
For me too Sally, I am an expert on my own body too and agree that Chakra-puncture is a very gentle technique that has been sent from heaven as means for us to bring healing on a very deep and subtile level. The sessions I have had I have experienced as completely safe and in these sessions I was treated with the utmost care, a care that have assisted me in my healing enormously. The care and dedication that is brought to the fore by the practitioners in these sessions is what our bodies deserve and resonate with, as this is who we actually and naturally are. We are tender and sensitive beings that need to be taken care of as this is our preciousness we bring to everywhere we go. Esoteric Chakra-puncture for me is addressing exactly this aspect of my being and has helped me enormously in restoring this quality in my life.
My experience in receiving acupuncture sessions confirms what Rebecca says here – all sessions have been carried out with absolute integrity and professionalism. The application of the needles is surface (light), non-invasive and pain free – and the results for me have been profound from decreased anxiety to better sleep and digestion.
I can wholeheartedly vouch for the efficacy and safety of Chakra-puncture and the benefits I have received from this modality over a number of years now. I had given up on acupuncture many years before because the needles always hurt me and it is great to have a safe modality like Chakra-puncture available again, practised by qualified and caring practitioners who know the meaning of true service.
Thank you for setting the record straight Rebecca. I absolutely agree. I have received both Chinese Acupuncture and Esoteric Chakra Puncture and found Esoteric Chakra Puncture to be an extremely gentle and non-invasive needling technique. Esoteric Chakra Puncture practitioners practice with integrity and professionalism, with an attention to detail and care that I have not experienced previously.
Absolutely Julia. The love, care and attention to detail is such an integral part of what Universal Medicine brings to clients and sets it apart from all other schools of healing.
Hi Rebecca, your blog really exposes the lack of integrity and honesty in media reporting and in this case, low journalistic standards. In my case the very positive benefits from experiencing Chakra Puncture treatments led me to begin studying this modality myself. Unlike the journalists who falsely reported about this modality, I want to give the truth of how great this modality is to the public by becoming a professional practitioner.
My first experience with the esoteric modalities was with Chakra-puncture and I can absolutely attest to the love and care that I could feel from the practitioner – something I never felt to the same degree from any other health care practitioner. This modality is so gentle and the integrity of the practitioners comes from their lived responsibility in the knowing and understanding that the integrity they bring to their practice is the same lived quality in the rest of their daily lives.
I never had acupuncture but from experience of close friends and family I can say that I prefer esoteric chakra-puncture as it is so gentle without twisting needles etc.
Thanks Rebecca for clarifying the safety of chakra-puncture in such a clear and concise manner.
Thanks Rebecca I agree with you totally, I have had chakra puncture treatment periodically for over five years and it has been an amazing healing practice
I have been having Chakra Puncture sessions for a variety of reasons for several years now and I have to agree with you gilesch – They have been incredibly healing and I regularly recommend them to my friends and family.
“As a practitioner of Esoteric Chakra-puncture I can also say that the Code of Ethics that each practitioner commits to as part of their accreditation holds the highest level of care and integrity that I have ever seen.” I have joined many other organisations in the UK in the past, as a therapist, but until coming to Universal Medicine I had never seen such integrity and commitment required in any Code of Ethics – one all health ( and other ) institutions could aspire to. The Esoteric Practitioners Association is truly remarkable.
What I have found with those who practice Esoteric Chakra-Puncture is that safety is taken to a whole new level. They comply with all the usual safety standards but they add in another element, which is the understanding that the way you live your life outside of the treatment room affects your ability to support healing within the treatment room.
To practice any of the Esoteric Healing Arts modalities requires one to live a life of integrity.
As with all the Esoteric modalities I am blown away by the level of care and integrity of the Chakra Puncture practitioners. No modality in the world offers the high level of love, care and healing that comes with the Esoteric. I have studied many other forms of therapy and none what so ever go any where close to the evolution that is offered with the Esoteric.
Chakra Punture is for sure heaven sent and absolutely amazing healing therapy.
Thank you Rebecca for bringing true understanding about chakra puncture and the facts from your professional experience and your lived wisdom. I’ve had many chakra puncture sessions which are very supportive as i work in a very stressful job…and i find i can completely relax as i feel safe, the upmost level of integrity and care of the practitioner i have not experienced before and the needles placed is so gentle. What you have shared is true to my own experience.
How beautiful it is to have such well-learned professionals who can full-heartedly say that Chakra-puncture is a safe technique and presented with the highest level of care and integrity. I as a patient can just add how super beneficial and effective this technique is and I rejoice that this modality gets a graceful testimonial in contrast to the lies that are also published about it.
Couldn’t agree more with you here Rebecca. Chakra-puncture is not only absolutely safe but it’s practitioners are held to the utmost integrity in the way that they live and what they bring to each client.
As a client I have experienced a significant number of sessions of both acupuncture and chakra puncture and I have observed the effect that both of these treatments have had on my bodies ailments, issues and how I live my everyday life. I can honestly say that unequivocally I now only ever have chakra puncture practiced on me simply because it is divine and has a profoundly nourishing, rebuilding and healing effect on my body and being. Chakra Puncture also is truly complementary to Conventional Medicine…. and I feel that Conventional Medicine is an essential ingredient in promoting and supporting true health for all.
As a student member of the Esoteric Practitioner association, I am aware of the pure love and integrity of the code of ethics, way beyond anything I have come across before. I have experienced Esoteric Chakra Puncture, and it is extremely gentle, and yet very powerful, there is no deep insertion of needles, they nearly touch the skin, and it feels very safe.
Thank you Rebecca for sharing your wisdom and authority in Chakra-Puncture. It is very powerful and much needed.
Yes it is, and from my experience of Chakra-puncture which I continue to have regularly, it is true to what Rebecca has shared.
I have just returned home from receiving a chakra-puncture treatment, so it is pertinent for me to express the depth of healing and gentleness I experienced and received from this session.
The tenderness I felt from the practitioner as the needles were applied allowed me to totally surrender to the process and for me to go to a place far deeper than relaxation, allowing my body to realign and discard what was not supportive of true health.
I very much appreciate the depth of care and integrity the practitioners bring to the modality as a result of their training under the tutilage of Serge Benhayon.
I have received chakra-puncture and I can vouch for how professional and caring the practitioners are and also how gentle the modality is on the body. I can say that as a modality it is amazingly supportive and I have shifted some very ingrained negative behaviours by having chakra-punture sessions because it has supported my self awareness and connection with myself.
Thank you Rebecca for a great article, I too have found Esoteric Chakra-Puncture to be a gentle, unimposing healing modality, the benefits I have received from these sessions over the last couple of years have helped me to embrace more stillness, clarity and well-being than ever before. And the love and integrity with which this modality is delivered is palpable.
Rebecca I have received both traditional acupuncture and esoteric chakra puncture and can say unreservedly that esoteric chakra puncture is so much more gentle, and mostly I do not even feel the needles. But more than that the practitioners are trained to make the whole session a nurturing experience. I remember the first session I had with Michael Benhayon the very manner in which he tenderly placed a warmed blanket over me was so exquisetly caring I felt like a precious child being held in a mother’s love – so safe and warm – and that total care was a huge healing in itself as it confirmed that I was worth taking the time to nurture myself (I had been hugely dismissive of myself before then).
I can confirm this as a client and as a practitioner who has been trained and accredited by the EPA in Chakra-puncture. The safety standard is very high and extensively covered in the training. Add to this the integrity an accredited practitioner of Chakra-puncture holds and the lifestyle that they choose to lead and there is no way you will feel unsafe or imposed upon by their treatment.
This is a very solid and heartfelt article, thank you Rebecca. Chakra Puncture delivers one to their innate stillness like no other modality I have known. I’m truly loving learning this modality and all that it is teaching me and forever grateful to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for bringing it to the world.
Thank you for this testimony Rebecca. Because of your extensive training and experience, your testimony carries a lot of weight! Chakra-puncture is an amazing modality altogether. I have only words of praise for it
I have regular Esoteric Chakra Puncture sessions and the level of care and integrity is incredible. Thank you for sharing the truth, Rebecca.
Having received both Acupuncture from Chinese Medicine practitioners and Chakra-Puncture from Universal Medicine practitioners, I could not agree more with what you have written Rebecca. There is nothing imposing, hurtful or imposing about Chakra-Puncture. It feels more gentle to me than traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture but even more importantly – it brings me to a deep stillness in my body that I have not ever experienced from Acupuncture or other widely accepted alternative therapies.
Hi Brooke,
The stillness you talk about is a fundamental aspect of Chakra-puncture, it is this aspect of the treatment (returning the body to an energetically felt stillness) that is key in all true healing. Something that I personally have never found through other healing modalities outside Universal Medicine Therapies.
This is not a statement to necessarily compare with other modalities and certainly holds no judgement it is instead an important distinction and a key to understanding the mechanism of healing that occurs in Chakra-puncture. Without an understanding of stillness (as a felt and known vibrational energy) no true understanding of Chakra-puncture can be had. For many people it takes only one session of Chakra-puncture to have a known real experience of energetic stillness in their body.
I can confirm what you have stated Rebecca Esoteric Chacra-puncture is to my knowledge and experience ABSOLUTELY safe.
I’ve had Esoteric Chakra Puncture sessions and from my experience they are super safe and very effective. In the end it’s about the practitioners integrity always and the standard of Universal Medicine trained practitioners are very high.
Thank you Rebecca for bringing the clarity you have to describing how safe Chakra-Puncture really is. It would be wise for people to consider your level of experience and listen to what you have to say about both modalities, before writing a fake story on Chakra-Punture!
Thanks Rebecca for bringing clarity and truth to a modality many may be unfamiliar with. Your explanation removes the ‘mystery’ and confusion in regard to Chakra Puncture. Although I have experienced the amazing healing experience of Chakra-Puncture, I now also feel more personally informed in regard to it’s background.
Thank you, Rebecca. I agree, when I receive Esoteric Chakra Puncture sessions from Universal Medicine practitioners it is much more gentle than acupuncture. Also the feeling in my body during Esoteric Chakra Puncture is totally different. I feel an expansion and flow in my body and mostly feel vitalized after a Esoteric Chakra Puncture session. There are times where I feel deeply touched by receiving Esoteric Chakra Puncture.
Thank you Rebecca for writing this down. whether I get Esoteric Chakra Puncture or give this exquisite modality myself I feel how gentle and light Esoteric Chakra Puncture is. It supports the body by this gentleness to let go of what does not support the body anymore and gives it back the choice to live love in every way. The enormous respect, integrity and love of the every Universal Medicine practitioner is there from the start till the end and beyond the treatment.
Hi Annelies,
Yes, as you say, Chakra-puncture supports the body to let go of the stress and tension of life. It does this through igniting the body’s energetic cells of life (Nadis), a way most (if not all) felt as young children. When the body is ignited through chakra-puncture a clarity, ease and love is felt by the client as the client returns back to a connection with his/her soul.
This is a tangible, real feeling that is felt by most clients within their first session, whether they have had any previous experience of healing or not. In fact, even clients who do not believe in healing or energy feel the absolute difference in their body after a chakra-puncture session.
Thanks for writing these facts so simply and clearly Rebecca, as I practise my own studies in the modality of Esoteric Chakra-Puncture, it is extremely important for me too to have a solid and foundational understanding of all that is entailed and an understanding of the different modalities available as my background personally is in medical healthcare. Thank you.
Hi Cherise,
Yes, many students of chakra-puncture have a background in healthcare and this is complemented by their chakra-puncture study.
Thank you Rebeca, as you so clearly share you are extremely qualified to express the truth about Esoteric Chakra Puncture. As a practitioner of Esoteric Chakra Puncture I have felt the true unimposing power that this modality brings to healing sessions as both a client and as a practitioner.
Thank you for such a great article to set the record straight in response to the inaccurate media allegations. Personally I have experienced Chakra-puncture training to heavily focus on the importance of adhering to the required health and safety regulations alongside always upholding the highest integrity of practice. It is a beautiful and powerful healing technique that clearly the media know very little about.
Hi Samantha,
Thank you for your testament to the quality of training received in Chakra-puncture. It is crazy to even have to discuss the safety of Chakra-puncture because as you know anyone who has received a session or trained as a practitioner knows how safe this modality is.
Rebecca, I totally agree that Chakra-Puncture is an extremely safe modality as well as super supportive of the body. My health completely transformed after committing to regular Chakra-puncture sessions that no other complementary health modality I was trying had achieved.
Hi Sharon,
Yes, this is true for a lot of other people as well. Thank you for sharing.
I love the solidness in which the blog is written Rebecca. The way you claim your past experience and current expertise is beautiful and inspiring.
Hi Kate,
In fact this blog was very easy to write because it is just how it is. No need to justify or prove – just plain and simple the truth of how it is.
This is so true, Rebecca. The Code of Ethics has the highest standard, that ever came across my path. At the same time it is about Love – so it doesn’t work through pressure or something I must work up to, but it invites you to embrace your true potential.
Hi Felix,
Yes the Code of Ethics is of the highest standard, but as you say it is not a pressure or stressful discipline to adhere to because the practice of chakra-puncture isn’t a job that you switch on and off it is a Livingness in other words is a way of life that is fully enriching to all who practice it.
I have always disliked receiving acupuncture because the needles always hurt. Esoteric chakra-puncture on the other hand is just beautiful to receive as the needles are smaller which makes their insertion so much gentler. Combine that with the integrity of the chakra-puncture practitioners that I have been to and the opportunity for healing that the modality itself offers and you can easily see why so many people, myself included have benefited greatly from it.
I totally agree Elizabeth. I’ve received a number of acupuncture treatments — some years ago now — and simply could;t go back to that after experiencing the deeply healing and extremely gentle and caring feeling that I’ve received from every chakra puncture session. Chakra Puncture is an amazing modality where the needles that are inserted so gently to the layer of the skin, helps my body deeply rest, stop fighting with anxiety and nervousness and feel what it is like to be open and surrendered. The healing benefits of chakra-puncture from my now personal experience are enormous.
It’s wonderful to read, Rebecca, some of the history of the development of Esoteric Chakra-Puncture and how not only safety, but love and integrity, has been part of its development. You can feel the utmost care when you have a chakra-puncture session.
Hi Jennifer,
Yes, many clients comment on the care they feel during a chakra-puncture session. What I also observe is that clients will often be inspired by the care and start to bring more care into their own professions and work lives. I have witnessed doctors, lawyers, nurses, PR, teachers, interior designers, graphic designers, you name it – all being inspired by the care of their chakra-puncture practitioner to bring their own increased level of care to their work and the people they engage with.
I agree the care that is felt from a chakra-puncture practitioner and the way the needles are applied is so gentle. I feel very safe on so many levels receiving chakra-puncture, in fact I feel loved, nurtured and held. It is quite an extraordinary experience.
Great article Rebecca, one I suspect I can and will refer clients to!
Hi Pernilla,
Great to see you busy in your practice. Chakra-puncture is a great support for people.
I have had numerous Esoteric Chakra-puncture treatments. These sessions have been truly healing especially with my asthma which has greatly improved and no need for medication. I can finally breath easy. Each one of these sessions was conducted with the upmost respect to me and my body and I highly recommend this modality.
Hi Anne,
Yes, the training for chakra-puncture involves learning a level of care and delicateness that allows a client to feel very supported and very respected.
I have received many esoteric chakrapunture treatments, I have always felt really great during the treatment and for several days/ weeks afterwards. From my experience of esoteric modalities I have felt a depth of true care and integrity without anyone imposing their beliefs on to me or telling me what to do.
Hi Michelle,
The depth of rest people’s bodies experience during a session is unmistakeable, with many people reporting that they don’t even relax that deeply while they sleep.
In my clinical experience I observe many clients who have improved sleep after a session.
Beautiful Rebecca. The people who need to hear this blog, and who focus only on the very basic side of Esoteric Chakra Puncture have missed out entirely on what Esoteric Chakra Puncture has to offer. After a session of Esoteric Chakra Puncture, it is very unlikely anyone would question it.
Thank you Rebecca, your ‘expert’ testimonial itself is a reflection of the precision and care of the Esoteric Chakra Puncture modality. Every detail is taken into account and on top of that is the code of Ethics that has a standard no where else in the world is conducted, by realizing as a practitioner we bring the way we live to every session. And asking it’s practitioners to take responsibility for that by the choices they make.
Yes Monica,
The EPA code of ethics is a joy to sign and commit to as part of responsible clinical practice. No association or code of conduct has ever come close to equaling the integrity held in this document or the practicing clinicians from many professions who whole heartedly adhere to it.
Since experiencing Esoteric Chakrapuncture I would never go back to having acupuncture treatments which I used to have to manage recurring symptoms. A practitioner of Chakrapuncture treats the body with the utmost respect and there is a fineness in the way they touch the body and place the needles. This is a modality of the highest integrity.
My depth of healing has been profoundly influenced by the living qualities of the practitioners trained under Universal Medicine – a healing modality that I am truly grateful for being made accessible to humanity.
You bring to focus a great point here Greg.
Chakra-puncture is an energetic healing modality and as such the codes of conduct Chakra-puncture practitioners adhere to are not only the local, state and federal laws and recommendations that guide health practitioners but also responsible energetic practice. This entails being aware of and responsible for our energetic affect on others, in other words the quality of our thoughts, feelings and actions.
This plus much more are the ‘living qualities’ that our clients experience.
Thank you Rebecca, I truly feel safe and lovingly cared for in the hands of the Esoteric Charka-Puncture Practitioners, knowing they adhere to the highest form of integrity in their work.
Esoteric Chakra-puncture is not only safe and practised by accredited practitioners at the highest level of personal and professional integrity (as the Esoteric Practitioners Association does not distinguish between the two: you either have integrity or you don’t), but it is truly from heaven in what it offers us.
I have experienced both acupuncture and esoteric chakra-puncture as a healing modality. As a client, I find chakra puncture incredibly gentle and non-invasive and have never had any concerns about the safety of it. As someone who was once terrified of needles, the esoteric chakra puncture needless are so fine that I barely feel them going in when the practitioner is placing them on my body. I highly recommend esoteric chakra puncture as a healing modality and it is one that I return to and enjoy regularly as part of my personal healing program.
Thank you Rebecca for the clear clarification of the high standards and integrity that chakra-puncture operates with and in. A loving example for all health care systems to follow.
I agree Rebecca, as a practitioner of chakra-puncture (who has also trained in acupuncture), chakra-puncture is an extremely safe and gentle treatment which is very pleasant to receive and very effective. The level of integrity that is required of the practitioner to practice it, I have not encountered anywhere else and is also testament to the quality and power of the modality.
Thanks for sharing your expertise on Esoteric Chakra–puncture Rebecca. As a client of this modality over the past 4 years, I can say that I have felt deeply supported and held by the Esoteric Chakra-puncture practitioners and by the modality itself. I have never once felt concerned by the safety of this modality, as I know and feel as part of the Esoteric Healing modalities that it is practiced with the highest quality of integrity and love by the practitioners.
Thankyou Rebecca, I always love hearing about Esoteric Chakra-Puncture. Of all of the modalities that I have experience, Esoteric Chakra-Puncture is one of my favorites. In my sessions I have experience such a gentle application of needles that sometimes I don’t even feel them go into my skin and have asked if there are any needles in! The session really allows me to really calm myself from the constant stimulation of life and often leave the session with so much clarity of life, of what I may be struggling with and purpose for the coming days. I am in training currently with Esoteric Chakra-Puncture and love equally the opportunity to be a practitioner to offer the modality to others.
Hi Rebekah,
It is great you are in training to be a practitioner of Chakra-puncture, it is a very profound healing modality. I echo your experience as most clients leave after a session feeling very different within themselves, they feel calmer, lighter and more at ease within themselves.
Rebecca, I too have qualifications in Acupuncture and practiced it for many years. I have now been practicing Chakra-puncture for over 5 years. Never have I seen the level of safety, care and integrity in practice as I see with Chakra-puncture. To say anything less than this shows a deep disrespect for all of those qualities and could be possible that these qualities trigger a reaction in those who do not live those qualities in not only their practice but their daily lives – and that from this reaction they defend with false allegations?
Hi Rebecca, thank you for putting this in writing which is supported by your wealth of experience. I can comment as someone who has had chakra puncture and is astounded by the healing that occurs from this modality.
Hear hear Rebecca, thank you for sharing your expertise on Esoteric Chakra-Puncture. I have received this modality and have experienced an incredible amount of care and integrity from the practitioners, the treatments were gentle and very healing for me on so many levels. I had vowed never to have Acupuncture again after having treatment on my wrist many years ago where I experienced severe pain during and after the treatment – for 3 days! ( the practitioner told me what I was experiencing was normal and would soon subside, assuring me it meant the treatment was working)… so was quite nervous about attending my first Esoteric Chakra-Puncture session (wondering if it truly was different!) – my fears were unfounded. There was no pain at all and I felt completely safe and nurtured. Esoteric Chakra-Puncture is an incredible and safe modality, and one that I can highly recommend.
Thank you Rebecca for your experienced and professional overview of Esoteric Chakra-Puncture. It is a hugely supportive and healing modality practiced by practitioners with the highest levels of integrity and care that I have ever come across. An amazing modality that’s benefits so many.
A fantastic testimony from someone who is more than qualified to comment and carries professionally accredited credibility. Thank you for bringing your credentials and experience to bear on the false media claims about Chakra-puncture. It is quite simply a stunning modality and carries a level of quality and integrity with it that is unrivalled.
Your credentials Rebecca are impressive and I thank you for your testimonial which brings the truth about Chakra-puncture. I have had both Acupuncture and Chakra-puncture over the years and they are worlds apart. My experience with Acupuncture was always one of physical pain sometimes very intense because I am very sensitive to bodily hurt. Chakra-puncture, on the contrary, is very gentle and the level of care and love I have been met with by Chakra-puncturist Practitioners has always been exemplary. AGAIN, the press have not done their reporting correctly as they don’t seem to concern themselves with facts.
Thank you Rebecca Poole for highlighting the truth. Your experience is in this area is very clear and certainly qualifies you discuss and comment on the safe practices of Esoteric Chakra-Puncture. I have had many Esoteric Chakra-Puncture sessions and I can truthfully say that I have never felt exposed any to harm in any way. In fact I have only I felt nurtured, cared for, supported through the integrity and gentleness of the practitioner which allowed me to feel safe at all times.
As a practitioner of Chakra-Puncture who has also studied acupuncture, I can say that Chakra-Puncture is definitely safe and far more gentle than acupuncture.
The start of this blog is a very powerful resume from someone who clearly knows the subjects of both Acupuncture and Esoteric Chakrapuncture inside out. I too have trained in both, although nothing like to the same level as Rebecca.
The huge difference I felt was in the focus of the courses – in Esoteric Chakrapuncture there was this emphasis on what I as the practitioner was bringing to the session (ie how I was living outside the session), and also on the client; making sure that they felt warm, respected, nurtured which allowed them to go deeper in the session. Once that had been established then the treatment could play out its enormous potential.
I agree with all that has been said here in this article and in this thread. I too practice Esoteric Chakra-puncture and have in the past practiced other alternative/complementary modalities. From my experience Esoteric Chakra-puncture addresses and treats levels of the body that the other modalities I have practiced do not. I found that other modalities would treat the issue on the day and maybe for a short time, but that the core of the issue would not shift and it would come back needing to be continually treated, sometimes in other ways. Esoteric Chakra-puncture allows the person to heal the cause of the ailment from a deep and personal level, that is easily understood and relatable.
Esoteric Chakra Puncture is one of my favourite treatments and I can say from experience that there is no danger what so ever.
I agree Luke it is one of a series of amazing Esoteric healing modalities and one of my personal favourites. I have experienced Acupuncture in the past and it does not come close to the way my body feels with Esoteric Chakra-Puncture.
Esoteric Chakra Puncture hands down has changed my life. Through the profound nature of chakra puncture itself, but also the integrity and responsibility held by the Esoteric practitioners has never been matched by any other practitioner I have ever seen. Thank you Rebecca for speaking your truth from a place of experience and understanding, of Acupuncture versus how incredibly safe Esoteric Chakra Puncture is and truly works.
Reagan I totally agree. I have only experience Esoteric Chakra-Puncturee by a supportive and respectful esoteric practitioner. Rebecca has highlighted a much needed review on writing with truth about modalities that provide for the needs to the client and the right of the client to choose these.
Yes, I find it hard to trust anything that comes through the media now days. It is a sad state of affairs and needs a whole change in the total culture. It is really quite awful the way they operate. It is such a shame because journalism could be one of societies most respected and trusted professions if there was a true respect and integrity for their role to bring awareness and truth to the world.
Your CV Rebecca speaks for itself and this is a great testament to an absolutely amazing modality. I have had many, many chakra puncture treatments over the years and have loved every single one of them, and at all times the integrity of the practitioners were exceptional.
Your experience and your dedication to serving humanity is impressive, Rebecca. I totally agree that chakra -puncture is not only safe, but one of the most heavenly tools we have today to support us in healing and evolution. Also, the level of care and integrity required to be an accredited practitioner of chakra-puncture is exemplary. I couldn’t imagine that anyone who has had direct experience of this amazing modality could say anything otherwise!
Thank you for your post, as you stated the Code of Ethics that each practitioner of this profound modality commits to, holds the highest level of care and integrity.
Thanks Rebecca, you clearly are very well equipped to discuss the safety of esoteric chakra-puncture! My experience of this modality as both a client and practitioner has been also that it is indeed very safe. The training is thorough and of the utmost integrity and the needles themselves are only ever inserted lightly, less than half a millimetre into the skin.
I have never had traditional Chinese Acupuncture (the size of the needles gives me the heebie-jeebies) but I have had Esoteric Chakrapuncture many times and have not once questioned its safety and integrity. In fact, the effect it’s had on my body and health have been profound and I recommend it without hesitation.
Thank You Rebecca Poole for this post. You are highly qualified in your field and have the authority from your experience to state what you know is the Truth. You are definitely well equipped to discuss the safety of Esoteric Chakra-Puncture and the media would be of great service to the public if they interviewed you and got some real facts.
There is no integrity in reporting lies that have come from those who are not highly trained and experienced as you clearly are.
Thank you Rebecca for speaking out and telling the truth about Esoteric Chakra-puncture. It is an amazing modality that I have given and received many many times and can testify to the efficacy and beauty in every treatment session.
Although I have not been trained in Acupuncture I have been trained in the body therapies including Remedial Massage and Kinesiology and have received traditional Chinese Acupuncture before I trained in Esoteric Chakra-puncture. From my experience I have found the Chakra-puncture extremely gentle, painless and non-invasive while my experience of Acupuncture was painful and felt somewhat invasive. I can also state that my training in the Esoteric Chakra-puncture was undertaken to the highest standards I have ever experienced in my 15 years of training and practice in the field of complimentary health, prior to encountering Universal Medicine and the Esoteric Healing Modalities.
A bit of my professional background first, as it is relevant to this post..
I became fully qualified in Acupuncture in 1994 after the standard 3 year full time course at an Acupuncture College. I practised this modality for 10 years and during that time undergoing training in TCM, as I had previously been trained in Five Element Acupuncture and working in several hospitals in China; I also became a home Support Tutor for one of the main Acupuncture Colleges in the UK.
So with the above qualifications and more, I feel I am able to add my views from experience..
I stopped practising acupuncture in 2004 mainly because I had become seriously ill from absorbing (taking on) my patient’s illnesses, but also because I had been searching for the missing something that I always felt was missing in this discipline. I vowed at the time never to return to acupuncture as it stood because something was lacking – not right.
I trained in Esoteric Chakra-puncture in 2009, and can honestly say this is a world apart from acupuncture. As a practitioner it is a pure joy to practise, I no longer absorb patient’s ill conditions – this matter was addressed during our training and I no longer search for more as I know this modality is complete in itself.
In regards to safety and ethics, again worlds apart. I have never come across a code of ethics as we now have, integrity, care and respect taken to a whole new dimension. I welcome the day a similar code is added to every profession. Every aspect of Esoteric Chakra-puncture is an honouring of the patient, of treating them with the love and tenderness they so deserve. I can only say how grateful I am that we have been blessed with this modality, both from a practitioners and a patients point of view.
Thank You Lorraine Wellman for sharing your own experience and confirming your professional background which is relevant to this post.
I can agree that the code of ethics and the code of conduct that is presented by Serge Benhayon has raised the bar for all therapies and is well worth studying further. What is unique is that all their practitioners have a responsibility in how they live their private life and professional life and to ensure that this is the same but lived with the utmost integrity.
This is a media story well worth telling as there are hundreds of practitioners throughout Universal Medicine presenting another way.
I echo what Bina has said – thank you for sharing your experiences, it’s fascinating to hear why you swapped from acupuncture to Chakrapuncture.
This is great to read, I have never had acupuncture so I have nothing to compare chakra puncture to; but in my experience it has always been very gentle, with the use of the needles just penetrating the skin. The fact the press reported this as being an unsafe treatment is not true, it is common today for the press to not concern themselves with facts – it is a direct reflection on what we have allowed. Rebecca is clearly in a position to talk authoritively on the use of the needles in Chakra Puncture and she would be a good source for the press in the future should they come looking for the truth.
I agree Vanessa that Rebecca Poole would be a great source for Truth if the press come looking in the future. She has the authority to speak about Esoteric Chakra-Puncture.
I know the difference having experienced acupuncture for many years. I was desperate and looking for relief and it was another ‘alternative’ modality that was a short term relief but no lasting change.
Esoteric Chakra-Puncture allows me to heal myself and in that I mean I am left to surrender by letting go and how much I let go is how much I heal and so the choice actually comes from me. What I know works and helps is that the practitioner is living in a way that is clear and that allows me to go deeper as the trust is there from the start.
Serge Benhayon has brought to us another modality that is simply life changing.
Thank you Rebecca for sharing with such authority on the safety of Esoteric Chakra-puncture and the amazing Code of Ethics that every practitioner commits to. As you say, it is based on love and integrity. The gentle care that all the practitioners have taken when I have had sessions has been so beautiful and assisted with the incredible healings that I have received over the last 5 years.
I have turned to many alternative therapies in the past but I would never use acupuncture as I do not like needles. I have experienced other Esoteric medicine modalities and have always found them to be extremely loving and supportive for my body. When Esoteric Chakra-puncture was introduced I didn’t question having a session which seemed a bit odd. Now it is something I regularly receive and my experience is that it has been an amazing support. I was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago and have had 2 lots of surgery during which times Esoteric Chakra -puncture has brought a sense of calm and stillness to my body in a very loving and tender way. The integrity and dedication the practitioners of this modality work with is beyond words.
I have experienced Esoteric Chakra-puncture and one thing that stands out is the love and care that is taken before, during and after my session. I have always being treated with the utmost respect and preciousness by the practitioners, who truly honour the space that is created for a healing to take place.
Thank you Rebecca for bringing truth to the false claims made in the media concerning the safety of Esoteric Chakra Puncture. I would like to add, that I have had many Chakra-Puncture sessions in the last 4-5 years, and it’s been my experience that the needles are very gently and superficially inserted….so gentle in fact that I barely feel them being inserted. However what I do feel is what a powerful support this technique is in assisting me and my body to heal itself.
I fully agree, it’s great to hear a practitioners perspective on this, personally on just knowing how big and how far the needles go (‘quarter inch to 3 inches’!) in puts me off traditional acupuncture!! Having been a recipient of Esoteric Chakra-Puncture (where the needles go in less than 2mm!!) many times I can safely say, it’s super gentle and a profound healing experience.
Thank you Rebecca, it is really important to communicate how safe and full of integrity the practice of Esoteric Chakra-Puncture is. One has only to experience one session to realise and feel the reality of this.
Thank you for sharing your experience Rebecca. I only experienced acupuncture once, well it was a series of three sessions for one issue. It definitely made a difference with the problem but it felt very unpleasant having it done, whereas Chakra puncture sessions have been a joyful experience that feels very healing.
This is very powerful, thank you, Rececca. With your background of a successful career in acupuncture, you are able to give a very unbiased view of the safety of chakrapuncture. The needles are so fine and delicate, they more resemble fishing wire than needles. The code of ethics for the practitioner to practice chakrapuncture is very high, so the quality and integrity of the practitioner is high too.
Thank you Rebecca for deconstructing the misinformation that has been written about
Esoteric Chakra Puncture. I too, have received both acupuncture and Esoteric Chakra Puncture, so I know first hand that there is a huge difference between both modalities. Esoteric Chakra Puncture is by far much less invasive and the practitioners I have seen all practice with the utmost integrity and follow stringently the health and safety regulations that are required in each state of Australia.
I am currently in training as a practitioner of Chakra Puncture and have attended workshops where you have presented on safe practices. I can say in all my training in other modalities from Shiatsu, Aromatherapy to Ayurveda etc. although of good quality training and meeting current standards, the training I attended with you and the rest of the Universal Medicine presenters have all exceeded my expectations on the quality of information given and integrity it has been presented with.
Thank you Rebecca for this account of Chakra-Puncture. It is fantastic to hear your experience of both acupuncture and Chakra-Puncture. In the past I have practiced many healing modalities. Kinesiology, Reiki, EIP and Shiatsu are just a few examples. In my experience as a holistic therapist I can honestly say that all these therapies come nowhere near Chakra-Puncture in regards to the level of integrity and love offered in an Esoteric Healing session. I have found Chakra-Puncture to be an undeniable advanced form of healing that allows the body to bring about its own restoration. The level of integrity in which the practitioners work is beyond compare. In my own experience of receiving both modalities I can honesty say Chakra-Puncture has never once felt invasive or unsafe, in fact it has offered a space in which I can totally relax and connect back to me.
Well said Samantha. The level of integrity in which the Esoteric practitioners work is second to none. I have also practiced many modalities in the past and none have included such integrity in the training as the Esoteric Modalities do as a course of normal procedure.
I agree with your words Samantha, and also “in my own experience of receiving both modalities (including acupuncture)I can honestly say Esoteric Chakra-Puncture has never once felt invasive or unsafe”. I have found Esoteric Chakra-Puncture as offered by Practitioners of Universal Medicine to be very relaxing assisting me to choose to be more deeply connected with my inner self.
I have experienced traditional acupuncture and chakra-puncture treatments and I found the chakra-puncture to indeed be very gentle on my body, more so than the traditional technique. It is, I would say an individual choice as to which one you prefer but for me the benefits of chakra-puncture have been profound and I found it both safe and non invasive.
I agree with you Stephen, having experienced both of these modalities. Chakra-puncture is very gentle on the body and the experience very healing.
I agree Stephen, I remember having acupuncture sessions when they would insert the needle and twist it around – it wasn’t very comfortable – but somehow I believed to get the best results it needed to be painful – ‘no pain no gain’ as the saying goes – I now know this not to be the case at all.
Insightful comment Stephen, Thanks.
Rebecca, I too, whilst not as highly trained as you have been (but nevertheless have been trained in both traditional acupuncture and Esoteric Chakra-puncture) know and can feel a huge difference between the two. As you mention for a start, the code of ethics behind Esoteric Chakra-puncture is filled with the utmost integrity and respect for humanity. It makes you accountable for how you are living, ie. what you do in your ‘private life’ – the quality of how you are living will alter and affect the quality of the needles that are only ever so slightly inserted; not stuck in a jabbed around like many a traditional acupuncturist, especially a Chinese trained one would and does do.
Through my Esoteric Chakra-puncture training and the many sessions I have received from various different Universal Medicine trained practitioners there has always been a close health and safety protocol in place, in most cases far exceeding what the local or national rules are.
Esoteric Chakra-puncture is a true gift given to humanity from Heaven.
I agree Doug. I would go further than saying conventional acupuncture was “very uncomfortable to receive” – what I found was that it was extremely ‘imposing’ – it was as if it was saying “that is how your body should be”, and so it felt like an imposition rather than an allowing of the body to be, as I have found with Esoteric Chakra-Puncture.
Hi James,
Great to know your background. Yes acupuncture is very different and does feel more imposing. Some people like the very strong stimulation but having treated a lot of people with both acupuncture and chakra-puncture very few people prefer a strong de Qi stimulation and experience in their body after they experience chakra-puncture.
Even more so than just the needle technique it is a completely different way to practice and clients feel this and the profoundness of each session.
