Would you listen to the music for the element most out of balance? Any thoughts? Ariel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 A practitioner I know who practices a Daoist type of Chinese medicine doesn't use music, unless it's nature sounds. She says that it's not healthy to try to manipulate the body with five element music.... at least it's not wu-wei.... free and easy action or (non-striving action). But, we do it all of the time with acupuncture and herbs, so I don't see why it's a problem... I personally like Gu Qin music, which has all 5 elements in it... originally it had 5 strings to represent each element. The Gu Qin is what the old blind man in the movie " Hero " was playing, while Jet Li was mind-fighting with Donnie Yuen. Here's a simple chart of the five phasic music dynamics. You can choose for instance more Vivaldi for balancing the heart or Carlos Nakai to balance out the liver or Mickey Hart for the kidneys or Dizzy Gillespie for the lungs or Ella Fitzgerald for the spleen (sweet sounds) Strings = heart ( " zhi or ke " ) Drums = kidney ( " yu " ) Wood wind instruments = liver ( " jue " ) Metal wind instruments = lung ( " shang " ) Voice = spleen/ heart (all five).... ( " gong " ) K.

As far as teachings go, do not rely upon the words alone, but rely upon the meaning that underlies them. Regarding the meaning, do not rely upon the provisional meaning alone, but rely upon the definitive meaning. And regarding the definitive meaning, do not rely upon ordinary consciousness, but rely upon wisdom awareness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
