RE: plastic handles

[Guest guest]

So let's break this down:

 

1) Is Qi an electromagnetic phenomenon, at least in part (i.e. manifests

along the EM spectrum, or is a sum total of interactions in the

patient/practitioner system requiring EM transmission)?

2) If so, then it would be both electrical and magnetic, according to

physics, which means that though the plastic handle will insulate the needle

from direct electrical contact, a magnetic field from off of the hand would

still induce a current in the needle, especially since the body of the

needle remains exposed.

 

In my own practice, if I hold both needles (master and coupled) in an EV

treatment, I feel a current passing through me either one direction

(polarity) or the other. Maybe I imagine it, but it doesn't feel like the

plastic is in the way.

 

And in the beginning, they used stone, wood and bamboo, none of which are

electrically conductive. The pressure on the point probably activated a

current either piezoelectrically and/or via induction from the

practitioner's field.
