"I learned of 5NP in my training as a curandera in Oaxaca, Mexico. After my first session, I knew I wanted to bring it to my community."
- 5NP is a safe, effective protocol that addresses behavioral health issues including mental health, emotional trauma, and addiction.
- 5NP is a bilateral auricular acupuncture, meaning the needles are placed in both ears. Afterwards you sit comfortably for 30-45 minutes as they work with your system.
- 5NP is used for relaxation, detoxification, trauma recovery, stress management, sleep disorder, depression, anxiety, balancing, grounding, and more.
In 5NP, the ear is recognized as a map of the human body. The five specific points used in 5NP protocol interface with the ear’s connections to distinct aspects of human functioning. The points stimulated in order of application include:
- Sympathetic Point: helpful in reducing symptoms of fight / flight and promoting aspects of ‘rest and digest’, or the parasympathetic response. This point helps calm anxiety and regulate an agitated autonomic nervous system.
- Shen Men (meaning spirit gate): affects non-physical aspects of the body. Helps regulate energy in either a strengthening or tranquil manner; ‘high spirited’ and ‘low spirited’ energy comes into balance. It supports self-awareness and purpose.
- Kidney Point: facilitates detoxification in the kidney organ system, thought to be a key purveyor of wisdom and purpose. An unbalanced kidney results in fear.
- Liver Point: another detoxification organ system which is a major actor (the General) in forceful yet benevolent assertion. Imbalance in the liver results in frustration, anger or rage.
- Lung Point: a third detoxification organ system, providing support and regulation to the whole body – taking in and letting go continuously. Lung helps to manage grief and loss, shame, and when in balance it creates healthy self-esteem and dignity.
Doors open at 5:30, we begin a copal cleanse at 6pm, with song and chants
