Guest guest Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 I am in search of references about music and the five elements. Apparently there are different indications that some music are more in tune with some deficiencies. The only thing I found out is that Wood would be related to the tone of the bamboo flute. If we can determine what kind of music fits what kind of elements, then we can enhance treatments by playing the right music (and using the right color of light) while doing the treatment. If you have any sources, thank you to let me know. Frederic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 The six healing sounds of taoist medicince (eg Chi Nei Tsang) may give you insight about relation to the elements. Each internal organ is associated with an element, and each element has a sound. here is a useful link http://users.erols.com/dantao/sixsound.html and another http://www.shouyuliang.com/newsletter/v2n3/v2n3a2.shtml which contains Sound Xu Ke Hu Si Chui Xi Organs Liver Heart Spleen Lungs Kidneys Triple Burner Seasons Spring Summer Late Summer Fall Winter -- Elements Wood Fire Earth Metal Water -- Specific Openings Eyes Tongue Mouth Nose Ears -- Now the fun part is finding an instrument that would make the appropriate sound.. christine Sun, 10 Nov 2002 20:04:58 -0600 frederic <> Music I am in search of references about music and the five elements.

Well, Shen Wu at http://www.musicqigong.com was developing a professional course for CEUs. He also outlines some basic theory at his site. I can't say much on his legitamacy, I've never heard of him before. Apparently he lives in Florida in the US. There are also some music qigong teachers in China listed on the web: http://www.chinaqigong.net/english/qgsk/kt.htm and a couple others at http://www.chinaqigong.net/english/qgsk/ Mbanu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The five elements are associated with five particular notes as well. They are the black keys on a piano, I just can't remember which is which. I have for a long time thought about getting those tibettan white crystal bowls and taping them a bit to create the tone that is consistant with the element I'm focusing on in the treatment. Just haven't found them cheap enough for all five yet... I like the idea of hitting it and then leaving the room as the sound decays and takes the patient on a little journey. -al. -- Al Stone L.Ac. <AlStone http://www.BeyondWellBeing.com Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 We were told that playing guitar would build calluses that would make feeling the pulses harder. ~Jody - Robert Chu Monday, August 25, 2003 7:54 AM Re: music Hey, no worries.

In most pulse styles (i've been exposed to) you use the pads of the fingers vs the tips for guitar. I think instruments build sensitivity, through more use with the fingers as well as different brain use. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most pulse styles (i've been exposed to) you use the pads of the fingers vs the tips for guitar. I think instruments build sensitivity, through more use with the fingers as well as different brain use. Jason: While calluses can dull the pulse sensation, it shouldn't be a problem when doing TCM pulse diagnosis which looks at only gross features of the pulse. You're right about instruments building sensitivity through more use and activating more parts of the brain. That's why we read pulses with only the left hand---it doubles the training, sensitivity, and nerve connections in the left hand; rather than dividing attention and time between hands which already have different levels of sensitivity.
