my attempt to reframe

my original statement which the enclosed clipping of my

commentary does

not capture.

From my observation,

Dr. Shen does not stop at stating the obvious such as

string-taut is

Qi stagnation. He follows inquiry into the cause of the

situation, as a

result of this discipline, he is capable of making

interpretations

that elude the junior and sophomore practitioners that

compose a list

such as this (I include myself in this category and will

happily modify

this opinion for practitioners who have more than fifty years

clinical experience

-- Dr. Shen has more than 60 years experience). And -- I

feel it is important

to state Dr. Shen relies on a balanced use of the four

pillars for diagnosis,

he is not relying exclusively on pulse diagnosis to

come to his conclusions.

His method of facial

diagnosis is a sophisticated method for timing events in

the life. It is

most likely how he is defining a precise age such as 7, the

pulse tells the

nature and location of the trauma, and...in a rough sense a

time frame. This

is the bulk of the story, and I might add, it is the

therapeutically

relevant part. Dr. Shen's self-cultivation lead to the

ability to state

the context of the trauma.

My point is it takes

time and commitment to develop skills such as pulse

diagnosis. It does

not happen in a weekend intensive, no matter what the

lineage, or even

if a cool trick is picked up. It is fundamentally an oral

tradition, and

it's fruits are the product of extensive study and focus.

Self cultivation

is a necessary portion of creating the possibility of

becoming a 'superior

physician.' However, intuition is no excuse for failure

to study classical

material, get exposure to senior practitioners, and work

the material out

in clinical practice.

 

Sincerely..........Will

Dr

Shen is a highly developed face reader.

.. He does a

tremendous amount of Qi

Gung every day.

Well there you

go............as I suspected.........the pulse is just a

medium.

I have experienced

myself doing lots of qi gong opens some kind of

pschic pathways

and when I was taking pulses I could "feel" things such

as that they

had a sore right knee. I wasn't feeling a sore right knee

pulse , that

much I do know.

Perhaps we should

spend more time doing qi gong and less trying to

figure out which

pulse style to master.
