Guest guest Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 Hello Mark, Religion, culture and tradition can definitely be " hot " topics which can cause strong feelings, but healing is at least partly about repairing the aftereffects of suffering. Religion, culture and tradition can often be the cause of suffering and thereby create the need for healing. I, personally, do not think that this thread has thus far been " off topic " , seems to me it IS about healing, and I appreciate the ability to discuss these issues in the context of facilitating healing. I think it's important to ask ourselves, as facilitators of healing (both individually and as a " profession " ), what part(s) of the religion, culture and tradition of our lineage of medicine we will choose to keep and propagate into the future. Maybe it's even the deeper question of just what IS the medicine vs. what's " just " the religion, culture and tradition. While each of us must ultimately answer that for ourselves in our own practices, these kinds of discussions can be an aid to our decision making process. Thanks for listening.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Hi Christina! TCM considers the spiritual, in the context of Chinese culture. When TCM is exported to a different culture, the practitioner is confronted with, uh, diversity. I try to use the " God as the patient understands God " approach, but that is not perfect, either. If the patient is out of touch with his/her God, his/her health will ultimately decline.
