Hi, Eric Thompson here.
My wife recently got hooked on facial acupuncture.
She wants that extra glow before our Thanksgiving party.
Radiant skin… smooth lines… a little lift.
And naturally, she convinced me to join her.
Now, I’ll admit, I thought this was just a beauty session.
A few needles for fine lines.
Maybe some firming.
Nothing too out of the ordinary.
But what happened next?
I wasn’t actually ready for it.
The acupuncturist began the session by placing a needle on my forehead.
To be exact, my third eye spot.
Immediately, a shift happened.
Like someone had flipped a switch.
Instantly, I felt this deep, profound calm wash over me.
A calm that went far beyond anything I’d expected from a “face” treatment.
And then, with my eyes closed…
I started seeing this soft indigo light dancing across my mind’s eye…
Like a subtle, pulsing glow.
It was surreal.
There I was, covered with 30 needles.
Stillness surrounded me, and thoughts just…stopped.
All that was left was this pure sense of clarity.
How was this happening from a few tiny needles?
Stick around, because I’m going to share how this tiny needle between the brows, placed right in the third eye zone, goes beyond brightening your skin.
It can open pathways in your mind and spirit that you might not even realize are there.
First, What’s the Deal with Third Eye Acupuncture?
As you may know by now….
The third eye is more than a mystical idea.
It’s an ancient gateway to intuition, insight, and inner vision.
For centuries, sages and healers have understood that stimulating this center opens up clarity and even a sharper sense of self and connection to others.
But here’s the kicker…
Opening this center can actually start with a small nudge from something as simple as acupuncture.
When my acupuncturist placed that needle right between my brows…
Yintang, as it’s called.
I felt an immediate release, like a tiny sigh from my own spirit.
It’s as if my mind took a mini vacation… quieting the constant chatter.
Have you ever experienced a moment of pure stillness that seemed to unlock something deeper?
Maybe in meditation, or even unexpectedly?
I’d love to hear if you’ve felt anything similar.
Or if this has sparked your curiosity to try it for yourself.
Share your experience with me in your reply.
Why Bother with a Needle on Your Forehead?
Well, here’s the core belief I want to share…
Energy flows where it’s invited.
And needles on your forehead?
They’re not just about firming skin or relaxation.
They’re about opening channels.
Both in your physical body and your deeper awareness.
The Yintang point, known as the “Hall of Impression,” is like the front door to your third eye.
It’s a bit like switching on a flashlight in a dark room.
You might start seeing things that were always there, just unnoticed.
And here’s a bonus insight for you…
If you go a bit higher, just above Yintang,
There’s another point in the hairline called:
GV24, or “Courtyard of the Spirit.”
Placing a needle here enhances calm and clarity.
It’s not only about seeing with your eyes.
But also sensing with your mind…
Feeling that quiet clarity that leads to “aha” moments.
But How Does It Really Work?
Great question.
When needles touch these points, they stimulate nerve pathways and relax the forehead muscles.
Blood flows.
Tension releases.
But it does something more, too:
It activates the upper energy centers… the third eye and crown.
You know that feeling when a weight is lifted off your mind?
Imagine that but with a mental clarity that’s surprisingly sharp.
That’s where the real magic lies.
Opening up these points invites calm, focus, and that sense of “seeing beyond.”
It’s like taking your mind on a walk in fresh air after being too long indoors.
Your perception opens up.
You get insights, clarity, and maybe even feel a bit more connected to everything around you.
In closing,
Facial acupuncture is not just about looking good (although that’s a nice bonus).
It can lead to something deeper.
A chance to tap into that powerful inner vision.
A clarity.
A connection we all carry within.
This little practice, simple as it may seem, can be a gateway to self-discovery, insight… and even a touch of the mystical.
Curious to try?
Next time you’re at an acupuncturist, ask them to place a needle in your Yintang point and see what happens.
Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let yourself relax.
Want to deepen the experience?
Focus your attention on that spot between your brows.
Visualize an opening there, or a soft light (indigo or white) gently radiating outward.
Let the feeling wash over you.
Who knows?
You might just discover a little extra vision that was there all along.
To your awakening,
Eric Thompson
