hara diagnosis [was Emotions

[Guest guest]

Hi Dr. Kaikobad,

with the original one based on Nei Ching, or at least the one which

is more simple:

 

Thank you very much for sharing with me your experiences regarding

abdominal diagnosis. I will study it with my colleagues/classmates.

 

As for the concept of diagnosis, I am playing around with the idea of

not trying to diagnose (or " assess " - which is what legally a

bodyworker can do). The question I am pondering is whether in the

process of assessing, am I not introducing my own problems and issues

- and how do I know that I am not just seeing a mirror of myself. How

much of the assessment is tainted by my own biases, world views, and

problems?

 

When, for example, " I see " too much " yang " in a client, am I seeing

the client or am I just seeing myself? It is very much the same as

when I am " criticizing " someone else. Is the criticism of the other

person just a mirror of what I am seeing in myself? It is an

interesting idea for me to ponder. But some teachers suggest that one

should approach a session with " nothingness " - to " just be present " .

An interesting thought.

 

Thank you again. I have printed out your posting and will study it.

 

Regards,

Rich
