Will it hurt? What will I feel?
To place a needle can give a different sensation. When the needle is placed at the right point on the right level then the de- Chi will arise.
This can feel like a small tingling electric shock but it can also feel dull or heavy. How it feels is unique for every person. Only a few people experience needling as a little painful or sensitive. But this feeling is only for a short moment and then it is gone. The needles stay in for about 25 min. They usually will give a feeling of deep relaxation.

On different places of the body we will use needles of different lengths and thickness.
I only use single-use disposable needles.
