show in the emotions, and/or body, and what are the signs? What a

subtle level of mind/body relation this shows. The actual creating or

destroying because of mind, of the bodily resevoir and substance

formation, because of emotional energy. The flow or continuity of poor

or less than optimal regulation`.

 

I am unsure exactly what you are asking, maybe we could parse through

it together. But fundamentally in CM, there are 2 observations I have

come to realize. 1) there is no difference between the mind-body

(emotions and physical) and more importantly 2) that from a Chinese

cultural perspective they tend to somaticize there complaints meaning

they do not talk about there emotions like westerners do. So the MAP

for Chinese dx does not have much detail on the emotional realm except

for basic stuff like irritability etc. This is important for various

reasons; one is that you don't have to become overly obsessed with the

emotional / spiritual injury because it will show up in the pulse,

body complaints, tongue etc. This is the meaning that the emotional

and physical body are one. SO does yinfire show in the emotions, yes

and maybe. Anything that is effecting the heart (heat), which yinfire

can, will possibly lead to emotions that we know from our zang-fu

training. Albiet these are basic, they are IMO all that is necessary

to dx at this level. Can yinfire present with more complicated

western emotional problems, of course. Anytime there is pathology one

can have emotional problems. But the roadmap for this is not layed out

as clearly. Bob Flaws has a whole book based on western psych

diseases and one would see yinfire patterns in there. Does that

answer the question?

the activity of its 'parts'. The Fire Element seems to be a busy place

in the scheme of the 5 elements, with the Small Intestine yang to the

Heart's yin position. And the Petricardium paired to the San Jiao. The

lung is moving as is the spleen and the rest. Cycling the Ko and shen

patterns, it would be good to differentiate which fire channel was

most influential, there may be good therapuetic use down the road for

this kind of thought.

 

Could you reword this, I am unsure what you are saying.
