Why should we learn Acupuncture?

Let us first understand what we mean by Acupuncture Life Science Education.

Before that, I would like to share how I personally understand the word “Acupuncture.”

It comes from two parts — “Acu” and “Puncture.”

“Acu” means accurate, correct, or appropriate.

“Puncture” means to pierce, insert, give, or guide.

When we study the complete science of acupuncture, we realize why these meanings are perfectly suited to it.

In simple words, Acupuncture can be understood as a noble and essential method through which we receive or give what is right, what is needed, at the right time, and in the right manner.

Now let us see why this wonderful system is necessary for our lives.

We are all living our lives in this world. Our life involves many important aspects, and one of the most important among them is food.

We need to know what kind of food suits us, what kind of food is not suitable, when we should eat, and how we should eat.

We also need to understand what happens when we eat the wrong food or even the right food at the wrong time or in the wrong way.

More importantly, we should learn how to cure the problems that arise from such habits — not through medicines, but through food itself.

When we are sick, what food should we take, when should we take it, and in what manner — these are essential understandings for every one of us.

Think about it — how different will be the life of a person who knows all this from the life of a person who doesn’t!

Through Acupuncture Life Science, we learn deeply about food, the power of tastes, how digestion happens, what kind of energies take part in it, how those energies move in our body, how waste is formed and eliminated, the meaning of hunger and thirst, and even about subtle foods like air, pranic energy, and sunlight.

When we understand all this, we can live without illness. Even if disease comes, we can heal ourselves naturally, without chemicals or drugs.

That is why this education is so necessary — because it gives wisdom and clarity about every part of life.

Not only about food — Acupuncture Life Science also teaches about every stage of human life: conception, birth, childhood, adolescence, education, work, rest, sleep, relationships, medicine, spirituality, and even death.

To put it shortly — in our world, good and bad, truth and falsehood, wisdom and ignorance, clear paths and misleading temptations, pleasures and addictions — everything is mixed together.

Most of the time, because of our hurry, pride, fear, or lack of awareness, we become confused.

In that confusion, we may start thinking that what is actually harmful is good for us. And from there arise diseases and suffering.

If we want to come out of that confusion, if we want to remain balanced and strong, we need deep clarity — clarity about life itself.

When our mind gains that clarity, we can know what is right, what is truly needed, when and how it is needed. Then, with no confusion at all, we can travel through our life beautifully, with peace and purpose.
