Frequently Asked Questions
What is esoteric acupuncture?
Esoteric Acupuncture is a system developed by Dr Mikio Sankey that combines classical acupuncture points with sacred geometry patterns — such as the Eight-Gates configuration — to address the energetic and consciousness levels rather than physical symptoms alone.
How does sacred geometry relate to acupuncture point selection?
Esoteric Acupuncture arranges points in geometric patterns (octagons, pentagons, the Tree of Life) so that needling sequence and shape carry an additional layer of energetic information beyond the individual point indications.
Is esoteric acupuncture suitable for all patients?
Esoteric Acupuncture is generally reserved for patients seeking spiritual or consciousness-level work alongside physical treatment. It complements rather than replaces standard TCM differentiation and is best delivered by practitioners trained in the system.
