I ramble a bit, so please pardon me in advance

[Guest guest]

When I first took a class in Tui Na it was told

to us, this is how the diagnostic works(went over

taste, season, smell, etc, etc.)

Then it was explained to us if you have pain

along these areas (teacher showing us the meridians)

then it has to do with.... these organs.

The teacher went on to say if the channel was

healthy you would be less vulnerable to injury, like

if you fell out of a plane and didn't break any bones.

 

 

Whenever I found an injury that was " off the

beaten path " from one of the primary meridians I would

first use those meridians and then, I would clear the

ones that followed them...

Mind you, the points I was given for Tui na don't

seem to match up with some of what I am being shown

(or aren't for the same organ) now in other texts, but

this hasn't been a problem.

So, say I had a problem in the arm... The girl

had what the doctor had called Saturday Night

Palsy.... Which was their title for, girl slept on arm

funny. Went to sleep and never woke back up. So, I

tried first clearing the heart channel which according

to my teacher went from the web of the thumb where

according to other(ie Web has no Weaver, Acuxo on-line

reference for accupunture) texts is: LI4 Hegu is

ending in the cheek aproximately where ST3 Juliao.

This had positive effect and restore some motion, but

it wasn't the total cure. So, while my teacher didn't

show us there was a channel going down the back of the

arm, but I knew a point beneath the scapula caused

belching and by having her move the limb as best she

could... looking for where pain referred, etc we were

able to restore a good portion of the motion to the

arm.... In one treatment....

um... there is a point to this, I'm just slow. I

apologize for consuming so much time.

Another client I had had torn ligaments in her

ankle was using crutches, couldn't walk without

them... Did what I was told was kidneys, which I was

told ran from 3rd eye down the skull to split in two

points at the occipital ridge and continueing as two

points until it split off seeming to follow the

sciatic and then middle of the calf, bottom right

corner of ankle and center of the foot.

She left without needing the crutches.

The idea as it was explained to me is that we are

beings of infinite energy and if we can tap this no

injury is withstanding. Kinda hippie, and

metaphysical for a guy who doesn't believe in energy

work, but I got results with which I could not argue.

(which got me thinking about the amount of energy

store in an atom, not to mention concepts of laying on

hands, etc, etc)....

 

The thing is: If you believe that there isn't a

body of knowledge dealing with a condition you have

encounter then your own choice is to experiment

yourself with finding where pressure from that area

refers. That is what doctors did for thousands of

years, and even today (It ain't called the medical

practise for nothing).

I don't know if you'll remember a kind of crazy

psychotherapist named Wilheim Reich, who proposed that

Cancer (this is simplified, but...) was a kind of

stagnation of internalized guilt, and heart conditions

were externalizing it. This has been reinforced by

all those studies about type a personality gets this

or that, but... What I am getting at is...

And please understand, I am sure there are many

who are far more knowledgeable than I am, but looking

at what accupunture diagrams this is an area of

possible congestion for 4 channels. CV1 Huiyin, GV1

Chaingqaing, GB 28 Weidao, and KI 11 Henggu. It would

seem at the very least if you could clear the

stagnation from these points the body might well be

able to heal itself.

I have also heard about teas you can ingest,

Sharks Cartiledge, but most import is a change of the

Spirit(that's Shen, right?). A positive aditude, a

belief that one can be restored, and that one is

loved... If I am honest I just lost my father to

cancer. He was sure that nothing could save him and

so... it couldn't.

I appreciate your time.

Truly,
