Digest Number 521 Tui-Na

[Guest guest]

whether or not i believe a low hanging door frame is obstructing my way, is

somewhat irrelevant, because if i don't take the necessary steps to avoid it,

i'll bang my head.

whether or not i believe the ensuing sensation is pain or not is also somewhat

irrelevant - we get the 'sensation' anyway. what we do with the sensation / how

we interpret it and how it informs our future actions, is perhaps more

pertinent.

if pain is interpreted as something bad, something that doesn't, or shouldn't

exist, surely we cut ourselves off from a source of wisdom in our lives and we

begin to live in a world of duality, of good verses bad, where good must triumph

at all costs over bad. - the classic christian doctrine.

i believe that 'bad' actions flow from a viewpoint which insists on dividing the

world into 'good' and 'bad'......as you quite rightly point out, what you

believe to be true becomes true !

that opposites appear to exist, that pain appears to exist, is not the

problem....i believe it has a rightful place......what we can change is how we

interpret it, how we react to it. i think that one of the amazing qualities

acupuncture displays, in my experience, is its ability to influence how people

respond and react to stimuli - rather than suppressing the experience in a

manner that tries to deny its existence - eg whether that is how someone reacts

to the pollen that gives them hay fever, or how they react to their spouse which

gives them migraines. i often see acupuncture working in this way - allowing the

body another option of behaviour instead of reaching for the antihistamines or

migralieve in an effort to blot out a bodily reaction
