Unlock Deeper Healing: Discover the Power of Esoteric Acupuncture for Mind, Body, and Spirit
Marina Doktorman with Dr. Sankey
Esoteric acupuncture is a relatively modern form of acupuncture which combines traditional acupuncture techniques with Eastern and Western esoteric philosophies, such as chakras, meridians and aura. Esoteric acupuncture is based on a theory that the body is not just a physical entity, but also has energetic, emotional and spiritual aspects that need to be addressed in order to achieve whole body healing. It was developed by Dr. Mikio Sankey, who has been teaching esoteric acupuncture for over 20 years. Marina Doktorman, L.Ac. has completed foundational and advanced IV levels of Esoteric Acupuncture, studying personally with Dr. Sankey in Boulder, Colorado from 2014 and returned to meet with Dr. Sankey again in 2019.
What is Esoteric Acupuncture?
Esoteric Acupuncture is a holistic healing method that uses acupuncture needles to balance and stimulate the energy systems of the body, including the chakras and meridians. During the treatment, the practitioner will assess emotional energy centers and determine if there are any blockages. Depending on the blockages, a certain acupuncture pattern will be used. Esoteric Acupuncture, much like cosmetic ccupuncture, uses a specific sequence of acupuncture points, but in this case, it’s to harmonize the vibrational acupuncture pathways and move into a higher level of consciousness. Esoteric acupuncture is designed to treat wellness and not physical imbalances by harmonizing and balancing the center of the body in the areas known as chakras (especially the heart chakra) and raise the level of one’s consciousness. Focusing on wellness will automatically start the process of prevention of disease.
Principles Underlying Esoteric Acupuncture
There are several basic principles underlying Esoteric Acupuncture:
The first basic principle is to pierce your temple (your physical vehicle) with acupuncture needles at esoteric acupuncture points using very specific sequencing order with any number of New Encoding Patterns to unlock the gateways to the finer frequency levels of consciousness that are stored in the planes above the dense mental planes of consciousness.
A second basic principle is to balance and strengthen the opposing energy fields of the heart and love versus the kidneys and fear (Esoteric Shaoyin) for the most optimum usage of those fields for the recipient of an Esoteric Acupuncture treatment.
A third basic principle is to assist the client to be able to assess the Ageless Wisdom teachings in order to find or discover his or her puzzle piece in life. Who are you and what is your purpose in this incarnation? Finding your puzzle piece in life requires you to become very still and enter a certain level of consciousness that allows you to reach your Inner, Higher, Spiritual Heart Center. It is possible to reach this level of consciousness if you have done a certain amount of inner plane work plus receive a treatment with proper New Encoding Pattern.
As a way of life, Esoteric Acupuncture emphasizes that clients make wise choices in nutrition. Everything that goes into your physical body “shapes” all the various fields surrounding you and influences who you are.

Features of Esoteric Acupuncture
Traditional Acupuncture School teaches that Qi travels through the acupuncture meridians and channels, those movements are linear. There is another type of connection that is not linear. This nonlinear connection between two or more distant locations is an instantaneous consciousness connection called a morphic resonance connection. With the activation of any of the New Encoding Patterns, a spin point activity is initiated at each acupuncture site that is needled. The collective energy of spin point activities created by the correct activation of any New Encoding Patterns will, in turn, create a Spin Field around the client. Consciousness is contained within all fields.
A Spin Field has much greater intensity with higher, lighter frequency than the frequencies created by more traditional acupuncture treatments. A Spin Field inherently has various tetrahedral geometrically formed fields that create an overall frequency that allows the individual, who is in alignment with this frequency, an opportunity to quickly accelerate into a higher plane of consciousness. This possibility may occur when two criteria are met while the client is receiving an Esoteric Acupuncture treatment. The recipient of Esoteric Acupuncture treatment must be able to quiet his or her chattering mind and become very Still. The key for moving into the higher consciousness planes requires that both the practitioner and the recipient of the treatment are actively engaging in some level of inner plane work such as: meditation, breathing exercises, Qi Gong or other inner, calming, centering work.
New Encoding Patterns and Chakra Balancing Patterns are made up of various interconnecting triangles and intersecting triangles. Triangles are the signature of tetrahedrons and tetrahedral geometry. After needles are inserted on the posterior side with proper sequencing, the client will be instructed to visualize the triangular connections between the points. Triangles with the apex pointing upward represent fire, the heart frequencies and love. Triangles with apex pointing downward represent water, the kidneys and fear. When the two opposing triangles are layered one on top of the other, a two-dimensional six-pointed star is formed. These mental visualization connections are exercises for the abstract mind and allow the client an opportunity to more readily move into their Inner, Higher, Spiritual Heart Center.
This process may then allow the client to transition into a tetrahedral geometrical spin field while the acupuncture needles are still inserted and also allows the client an opportunity to access information encoded in his or her Inner Key Codes. In the New Encoding Patterns are designed to shift the client into a tetrahedral spin field. It is while in a tetrahedral geometric spin field consciousness that the client will be given the opportunity to work with a more expanded form of energy and expanded form of consciousness. The visual triangular connections within the New Encoding Patterns create a stronger, more centered energetic field than the field obtainable by more traditional acupuncture protocols.

Esoteric Acupuncture Testimonials in Brooklyn
My experience with Marina's work has been incredible. After the first few sessions, I immediately noticed a decrease in my endometriosis symptoms. I also struggle with CPTSD and anxiety-- and have felt extremely lighter since seeing her. She is thorough and knows what she is doing. I go twice a week and will eventually start tapering my sessions, but think it is imperative to go often when first starting out. I am addicted to her practice and cannot recommend her more!
I am extremely particular with massages and the massage therapist name Inna at Pulse Acupuncture is absolutely incredible. She is intuitive, skillful, informative and has great bedside manners. The best massage I've experienced in NYC. I highly recommend Inna.
I had been struggling with persistent back pain and frequent migraines that significantly impacted my daily life. After trying various treatments with limited success, I turned to acupuncture and began sessions with Dr. Marina. Her attentive and knowledgeable approach immediately put me at ease. Through her expert care, I experienced a remarkable reduction in both my back pain and migraine frequency. Dr. Marina's dedication and skill have truly made a positive difference in my well-being, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking relief through acupuncture.
Dr.Marina has helped me multiple times, every time I go to her with a goal to improve my health or whatever aliment I am dealing with, she always helps alleviate it. She’s helped balance my hormones, helped me with a spell of insomnia etc. she really is so amazing and I will continue to go to her because she truly knows what she is doing! If you have any issue, I think dr.marina can help in her practice, she really is amazing and I’m so thankful for her!
Marina is a well-trained and talented therapist. I see her in her Clifton, NJ, office. Parking is always adequate. Several therapy rooms are available; they are comfortable and well-eqipped. I find Marina to be empathetic, a good listener, and a good diagnostician.She draws on her extensive knowledge and experience to tailor-make each treatment to alleviate the ailments presented. I find Marina's acupuncture skills to be effective. I look forward to our sessions and I highly recommend her!
Amazing experience! Marina is knowledgeable and professional. She has created a very relaxing vibe in her studio that makes the appointment feel like amazing self care. I’m 40 weeks + 3 days pregnant and felt very comfortable with the table set up and also trusted that she knew what she was doing.
Such a soothing environment and Marina is very professional. She explains everything that she is going to do. While I know I need more sessions, I noticed today that I was already able to walk further than before with significantly less pain after the 1st session. What a blessing!!
Marina has been treating me in Clifton for about 6 months for chronic pain. I must say she is extremely knowledgeable and has helped to quiet my deep muscle spasms. As an unexpected bonus, the acupuncture had also helped muscle atrophy from a surgery I had over 12 years ago.
Marina is very accommodating, kind, and attentive, and her staff is a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Pulse.

My experience was phenomenal, I had fire cupping done for the first time, an absolute life changing experience. 🙌
The session was great. I’m dealing with sciatica issues and during one session I was able to receive full body acupuncture, cupping , electro pulse therapy and a stress reading. All very helpful for my pain. Highly recommend.
I love Marina and her team. I have been struggling with feeling nauseous and fatigue after going through an IVF cycle and going twice a week has been working wonders for me. It’s literally the difference between being able to function and not function in life. I can’t recommend Pulse enough!
Exceptional service. Clean and calming rooms. Easy billing/insurance process. Would recommend!
Best Accupuncture in Williamsburg! Marina Laryssa are fantastic. Helped relieve pain for my marathon preparation assisting with Plantar fasciitis ITBs and stress. Great experience, very friendly, would highly recommend visiting them.
I have been very happy with the services of Pulse Acupuncture, the pain I have has greatly decreased with the Acupuncture.
Laryssa was fantastic. i can’t ever remember a provider taking the time and attention to my specific issues. highly recommend!
Marina is very professional, caring and extremely knowledgable. The office is peaceful and welcoming. I highly recommend Pulse Acupuncture for holistic care.
Laryssa is very empathetic and clearly cares about her patients. She’s passionate about her job and wants her patients to feel better. I’ve been seen by Marina a couple of times when Laryssa wasn’t there and I can say the same for her. Overall I highly recommend this acupuncture office.
I have been doing acupuncture consistently for 3.5 years, started with Marina almost 3 years ago and also started seeing Larissa this last year.
Acupuncture has truly changed my life and has helped me in ways I didn’t even know were possible.
I started doing acupuncture to balance my hormones after 2 years of unsuccessful fertility treatments. When I started seeing Marina, my periods were starting to be regular and I was dealing with a few different symptoms which we started treating right away (constipation, random headaches, body aches)… in the last 3 years I have not been sick (no flu, have never tested positive for COVID) - Marina even treated me for allergies more than a year ago during an allergy episode in changing seasons.
Also want to mention Larissa as I started seeing her in Marina’s beautiful office and she’s also contributed to my wellness journey. Acupuncture is my favorite wellness practice, I see them regularly and have never felt better. I sometimes just tell them whatever I’m thinking/feeling knowing they will stick some needles in different places of my body and I come out floating and feeling so relaxed.

Marina is the most qualified acupuncture specialist I've ever worked with. I recommend her highly.
My symptoms have improved dramatically after just 3 sessions! She’s talented and kind, and uses various techniques that really make me feel like she’s taking a holistic approach to my health and emotional wellbeing. Cannot recommend her enough!

I've had several sessions with Marina and have had a great experience. I feel relaxed every time a session is over. I recommend trying Pulse out!
I visited Marina for back pain and digestive issues. My whole experience was positive. She is patient, empathetic, and very talented and knowledgeable. She used multiple modalities on my body (front and back) to address my concerns and treat the whole body rather than one part. I have been returning each week and I feel so good after.
Dr Marina is very best to find cure for your aches and pains. She tailors treatment with modalities that fit individual's ailments. You will get relief.
My partner and I have been seeing Marina for the past year now, and it's been a game changer for my health (anything from back pain to allergies). Since starting treatment all these conditions have become so much more manageable.
Marina is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also very calming and has great bedside manners. If you're looking for a fantastic acupuncturist I can't recommend her enough!!

Marina is so thoughtful and attentive. I have been seeing her regularly for months now and my quality of life is so much better. She’ll listen to what you’re struggling with and give you a really customized session where you walk out the door feeling amazing. Don’t be scared of the needles, it doesn’t hurt!
Highly professional and knowledgeable technician who explains as she goes so there are no surprises. Knows a variety of techniques to provide some of the best care possible. Highly recommended.
Best place to be in new Jersey hands down and yes to recovery. State of the art equipment, advanced training staff awarding with convenient scheduling.
Marina and Pulse Acupuncture have given me outstanding wellness care-helping me through pain issues in my left arm and back- giving me relief before and after my knee replacement surgery - Outstanding care and deeply personal individual attraction
Highly recommend Pulse for acupuncture. Very peaceful atmosphere and effective treatment. I am new to treatment and left my sessions incredibly relaxed and recharged. I felt significant relief in the area I was experiencing dull, recurring pain. Will be going regularly now!
Dr. Marina Doktorman is sweet and amazing at what she does. I feel very comfortable with her and her practice is very clean and spa-like. I’ve been coming weekly for a month and noticed changes in my wellbeing. Using acupuncture she’s able to regulate my hormones, unblock my chakras, and overall improve my wellbeing. I love it and will continue weekly or biweekly treatments as long as my insurance is covered. I highly recommend her to anyone who is new to it or interested in acupuncture treatment. It’s very calming and relaxing!
Marina is the best acupuncturist I’ve been to. Expect a full service experience that changes with your needs whether you express them or aren’t sure what you need that day. (Marina is super intuitive and adjusts treatment accordingly!) Highly recommend going here, you’ll feel better mentally and physically as soon as you’re walking out!
Highly recommend! I have been to quite a few acupuncturists over the years and Pulse is by far my favorite and the most attentive. It is a full service of treating my back, front body and cupping (it does not feel rushed). I suffer from chronic neck pain from an old injury and go for postpartum symptoms relief. I always feel better after leaving. The office is beautiful and calming as well.
Marina relieved my back pain after just a couple of visits. I had been suffering for months and her method of treatments proved to be successful. As a doctor myself I can say that she has great bedside manner as well.
Marina is a great acupuncturist. She is very gentle, professional and caring. I’ve been seeing her on a weekly basis for over a month now to deal with severe fatigue and stress, and in no time the sessions have taken effect. I feel more centered, calm and filled of positive energy. I no longer suffer from insomnia, dizziness or intense anxiety. The practice where she receive appointments in Williamsburg is very nice, clean and comfortable that makes sessions very pleasant and relaxing. I’m very grateful to Marina for her care. Finally, she is very flexible for appointments and can even see a patient in the evening which is very convenient. I highly recommend her.
To understand what I'm talking about, you have to try it for yourself.
After 10 minutes of the procedure, you get into a different reality. Marina is knowledgeable, answers all the questions. After the procedure, the skin of the face glows, the body becomes lighter by a couple of pounds. I've been looking for such a procedure and state of mind for a long time.

Pulse Acupuncture is exactly what I’ve been looking for to treat my migraines! Marina is knowledgeable, professional, asks probing questions and does fire cupping! She also has a very serene and clean office that makes me feel so relaxed and I never feel rushed during my sessions. Marina is truly incredible - her treatments help me mitigate migraines and I highly recommend her for any acupuncture/holistic health needs!! (I’ve tried other practitioners in the area and none have compared to Marina’s experience and professionalism.)
I used acupuncture for low back and SI joint pain. I have a chronic condition. After the 1st treatment pain reduced by 75%. I am very happy with the results. I'm coming back. Thank you!
I found Marina while I was experiencing horrible lower back pain and her treatments got me back to my normal self quickly. Her office is beautiful, clean and welcoming. I will be going back regularly for routine maintenance and stress relief.

Marina Doktorman is very knowledgeable, skilled, and caring, with many years of experience. Excellent location. Beautiful brand new office.
Super pleased with my first appointment. Marina is very kind, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend.
When I first came to Marina, I felt constant pressure in my lower back, tension in my upper back and lack of energy. During the first session I could literally feel something shifting inside in those areas she was working on. Her touch was so gentle that I didn’t even feel the needles go in. The time stopped, I was relaxed, calm and peaceful. Besides acupuncture I had some cupping done as well. The cups relieved a great deal of pressure from my upper and lower back. After the session I immediately felt the effect. Have my next session scheduled for next week. I would definitely recommend Marina to those seeking holistic ways to deal with muscle, spine, and pain issues. She is a miracle worker!
I felt relief after the first session with Marina Doktorman. Marina is a caring practitioner that establishes a connection with her clients and always ensures a comfortable environment. After doing acupuncture, heat therapy, and cupping with her, I felt instant relief and relaxation. In addition, Marina’s treatment helped me feel relief from neck and back pain, as well as to feel grounded and connected to my body. I would highly recommend Marina to anyone.
Excellent service, very knowledgeable and professional. They helped me a lot. Strongly recommend. Went to other offices, but this one is truly the best!
