My relationship with needles was not very close. I only recently overcame my fear of getting my blood drawn. So when I (offer) the opportunity to try acupuncture (针灸) for the first time for my anxiety and (tense), I was uneasy.
Anyway, I tried out New York's newly opened acupuncture studio, WTHN. The place is beautiful, simple but modern. My acupuncturist first inquired I was looking to achieve by completing this session. Then I settled facedown onto the heated table and comfortably lay there the guidance of the acupuncturist. She inserted (插入) hair – thin needles into my ankles and slowly worked her way up, (hit) certain points throughout my body, until she arrived at my head. With each needle, I felt a bit of pressure, but no pain. After all needles were inserted, she explained that I was going to lie in position for the next 20 – 25 minutes to let (they) work magic.
The idea of needles being placed into certain parts of your body sounded like a horror film when (describe) out loud for me; however, after trying acupuncture, I could tell you that it was (complete) different. This approach allowed me to calm down totally step away from the things that were causing me stress to focus on my health.
