Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Hi All & Scott Scott Martin wrote > " Why is it that TCM practicioners are regarded more > as magicians than doctors ? " Because they are, in the sense that any really good medicine that benefits the spirit, spyche and soma simultaneoulsy has a magical quality, as has all of life. To manage to stay alive is in itself miraculous. To manage to stay alive, happy and whole in body, mind and spirit is doubly so. . IMO great healers, be they Chinese, or otherwise, know and use the mystical concept of Yi (intention). When effect (action) follows intention (Yi), some would call that magical. Others would call it ancient wisdom, known by the Seers, Shamans and Witches.
