Acupuncture is not just for people. It's also for cities

[Guest guest]

Interesting. In the Sunday time magazine this week is an article about a

physician who is trying to gang violence using infectious disease models.

And he is having success stemming crime.

PORTLAND, Ore. ˜ Acupuncture is not just for people. It's also for

citiesËœif the city is Portland. Adam Kuby has stuck a 23-foot needle

into the ground down by the Willamette River and hopes to plant more,

choosing locations where he figures the city's " chi, " or vital

energy, needs some help∑

 

THE ACUPUNCTURE PROJECT / Treatment for Portland art & acupuncture

for the city

 

Think of the city as a body the way traditional Chinese medicine doesˆ

not only as a physical entity but also as a system of energy that

flows in distinct pathways called meridians. The energy, or Qi, needs

to be in balance. If a person's Qi is out of balance, disease can set

in. The same could be true for a city. This project explores the

junction between art, regional planning, the environment, Asian

medicine and the health of a city.

Sedona has its own version of this project. A group of locals gather from time

to time to " awaken " the energy at various vortices, to create harmony and

symmetry in the " energy matrix " here and in other northern Arizona locations.

They aren't using acupuncture needles, but prayer, intention, and in some cases,

physical labor to restore ecological balance (clean up messes). Most of what

they do is in remote locations that are difficult to get to. I rather like the

idea of giant acupuncture needles as a symbol and reminder of healing intention.
