Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Clare wrotte: Hi Salvador Please can you elaborate on " elements within " ? Claire ________ Hi Claire, I have been avoiding your question! but now I will answer. My reticience has been because i d on't fully understand it myself, but with your indulgence, I will search the nooks and crannies of my present understanding. I first came across the concept of elements within in the 5 Element school I initially trained in. It was always a nebulous concept at best. The idea being that once we were good at diagnosing the Primary C.F. (Causative Factor) ie. their rational being that every person falls under one primary catagory of the 5 Elements : Water type, Wood type etc., Within 5 element treatment, the practitioner, through 'subjective' observation of (C.S.O.E) face Colour, Sound of voice, body Odour, and prevalent Emotion that the patient may be struggling to express fluidly, will make a judgement as to which Element is primarily imbalanced in the the patient. This will then make the basis of treatment. So if the Patient is Judged to have a Water C.F. then, in the majority of cases, the patient will invariably be treated in The BL and KID meridian by even or Ton. technique. An experienced 5 Element acupuncturist, again, using the 'subjective'diagsnotic technique of C.S. O.E. will note that the person is also disturbed in one or two other elements, lets say Fire and Wood. The difficulty here is to be clear which is the Primary (C.F.) and which is /are the other Element(s) which would then be called the Elements within. An experienced 5 Element acupuncturist might then decide that the other elements were distressed enough to be treated directly on those meridians. Or, she might judge that it would be sufficient to treat the disturbance by Ton. the Fire and Wood points within the BL and KID meridians. Now, personally, I am horrified by the above approach which I practiced for a long time. For 2 reasons 1) it is highly subjective 2) In my now extensive experience thorugh the use of C Astrology I know That the above method is highly simplistic and innacurate. Never the less, Through the use of Chinese astrology I have observed, to my complete satisfaction, that the above concept is 'essentially True'. There are Elements and Elements within, But I will be more specific. There are meridians, and meridians within. Usually, people will display one primary meridian which is emotionally / energetically dysfunctional. What I mean by this is, that the person has emotions which are too painful to be expressed, so are held in the subconscious and 'stashed' in the body as held in tension . As acupuncturists, our experience of the above will be as symptoms affecting a particular meridian / organs system and which the patient will benefit from, if we sedate the relevant meridian. This will in turn, allow the patient to integrate the held in/ controlled emotion. Invariably there is one more meridian which also contains unexpressed emotions, This other meridian may belong to the same Element as the above, but statistically only in a small percentage of people perhaps 20% .For the rest it will be in a separate element and its nature, from our clinical perspective will be deficient. In practical terms the average person contains 2 primary dysfunctional meridians (with their related emotions), one which will manifest as Excess / stag. the other Def. To date I have found no logical reason as to why one person will primarily manifest more deficient and another Stag / Excess. That they both operate in different % I have proved to my satisfaction time and again. According to chinese Astrology there is at least one more meridian involved in the make up of an average individual and Whilst I have seen its dynamic mental/ emotional energy at work, it does not require any clinical focus. However, although I have yet to meet one, I have a suspicion that if a person becomes chronicaly disturbed for a very long time, it may well then become disturbed enough to require intervention. I occasionally make use of the concept of the meridian within when I ton. the Def. meridian. and when I sedate the stag meridian . So what are these meridian that require sedating or tonifying? in a nutshell they are the primary emotions that we hold / supress in our subconscious. These will be held in our physical kinesthetic body, our emotional body or our mental body. more on this subject? ahem...you'll have to ask copyright@ salvador march www.meridian-qi-acupuncture.com _______________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.

I have recently been told in a Tarot card reading that my System 'Meridian-qi-acupuncture' will, initially be better received in another country . So I am open to opportunities. I am willing to do Seminars any where in the world. (Think big. I might get an offer up the road) salvador _______________ Sign-up for a FREE BT Broadband connection today! http://www.msn.co.uk/specials/btbroadband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 May I request some input on the following? 1. With multiple practitioners working from one location, is there a group-insurance cover one can get at an economical rate? 2. Same for non-clinical liabilities related to premises? 3. Does one have to have a local or national insurer or can one access foreign companies with international reputation? 4. Can people suggest companies they have worked with to their satisfaction? Obliged for help. Regards, Dr. Holmes Keikobad MB BS DPH Ret.
