This document discusses the connection between emotions and physiological health according to traditional Chinese medicine. It states that when emotions become excessive or imbalanced, they can weaken the corresponding internal organs. For example, anger weakens the liver while worry weakens the stomach. The document describes how treating key acupuncture points can help restore emotional and energetic balance in the body by strengthening the associated organs. It provides examples of a full-body treatment routine moving between points for the stomach, lungs, kidneys, and liver to address common emotional imbalances.
Learn how acupuncture can help diagnose, treat, and prevent certain conditions and diseases, including chronic pain, asthma, allergies, insomnia, hot flashes and stress. Our acupuncturist will demonstrate acupuncture and describe how the ancient techniques can be used with traditional medicine to help you maintain wellness.
We can learn to live more and more by that eternal supply of cosmic energy which is always all about us, and thus ever available to us for recharging the body with vitality.
Shiatsu is born from this basic knowledge. One may use Shiatsu to make the body fit in every way. A body that is free from disease and weakness presents a rare opportunity to the person for Self Realization.

This PowerPoint presentation provides an overview of the field of somatics as it is taught in various training programs such as the Master's of Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy degree at the Jansen Newman Institute (Think Education) in Sydney.
This presentation has been initially developed for the 'Foundations of Wellbeing' course at the School Of Biomedical and Health Sciences (University of Western Sydney) and then modified for the 'Learning for Sustainable Living' online learning program (Course 5).
The document discusses the importance and benefits of touch. It explains that touch is important for easing social tensions among primates and promotes the release of oxytocin which helps humans connect with others. Touch is vital for infant development - without sufficient touch babies can literally stop growing and die. The skin and parietal lobe of the brain are responsible for the sense of touch. Touch has healing properties and can relieve both physical and mental pain by releasing endorphins. Massage and stretching can aid muscle recovery. Reiki and healing touch involve channeling energy through the hands to promote relaxation and healing.
This document discusses emotion, defining it as an affective experience that accompanies inner adjustment and physiological arousal, showing itself in overt behavior. It has three main components: subjective feelings, emotional expression/behavior, and physiological changes mediated by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Major theories of emotion include James-Lange, Cannon-Bard, and Schachter-Singer. Emotional adjustment involves maintaining equilibrium despite stressors through acceptance and adaptation. Intense, prolonged emotions can disturb the individual and potentially cause or exacerbate illnesses like peptic ulcers, heart disease, and asthma.
Chanting has physical and mental health benefits according to research. The rhythmic tones of chanting create neurological and psycholinguistic effects in the body that produce curative chemicals in the brain. Chanting also vibrates the bones, muscles, and fluids, and balances brainwaves after a few minutes while increasing muscle and skin temperatures. Group chanting creates a collective resonance effect that magnifies individual benefits. Maintaining 6 breaths per minute through chanting induces coherence between physiological functions, improving immune function, reducing inflammation, and regulating blood sugar levels. Chanting also benefits the body by relaxing the body and mind, managing thoughts, and regulating body systems like the immune system and blood pressure.
This document provides an overview of music and color therapy. It begins with definitions of music therapy from various organizations and discusses the theoretical foundations, including vibrational tuning theory, brain waves theory, chakra theory, and endorphin theory. It then covers the history of music therapy and categorizes where it fits within medical treatment. The document outlines several models and methods of music therapy, including improvisational music therapy, singing and discussion, guided imagery and music (GIM), and clinical Orff Schulwerk. It provides details on the theoretical basis and procedures for several of these methods.

Sound and color therapy uses specific colors and sound frequencies to promote healing on emotional, mental, and physical levels. Color therapy involves exposing patients to colored lights, while sound color therapy plays the corresponding sound frequencies of the rainbow colors, measured in hertz. Both aim to relax or stimulate cells in targeted ways. Each color has a precise frequency between 470-700Hz that is said to produce the desired healing effect when scientifically applied. Similarly, emotions and thoughts are believed to have signature frequencies that can materialize corresponding experiences when the right sound is used.
The document discusses several theories of motivation including drive theory, arousal theory, and humanistic theories. It also discusses theories of emotion including the James-Lange theory, Cannon's challenge, the two-factor theory, and cognitive-mediational theory. Motivation is influenced by both internal drives and external incentives and is aimed at maintaining homeostasis or an optimal level of arousal. Emotions involve physiological arousal, cognitive appraisal, and are expressed through facial expressions.
Meditative techniques can produce mental, emotional, and physical benefits. They work by changing consciousness, which alters the energy field and thereby changes the physical body. Specific techniques like mantra repetition and breath awareness can lift the mind from an ordinary to expanded state of awareness over time. Research shows meditation can positively impact brain structure, immune function, heart health, and disease management. It may reduce stress, anxiety, depression and blood pressure while improving focus, creativity and overall well-being.
Regular practice of pranayama or yogic breathing techniques over 6 months can have significant mental, physical, and spiritual benefits. It can help reduce stress, anxiety, inflammation, and regulate blood sugar levels by inducing coherence between the rhythms of the autonomous physiological functions. Specific pranayama techniques are used in yoga therapy for cancer treatment and overall body cleansing. Pranayama activates the cortex to help manage emotions and reactions, leading to increased calmness and clarity when practiced long-term.
This document provides information about hypno-breathing and breath work. It discusses how breath is connected to the mind, body, emotions and spirit.

Eastern philosophy and medicine, originating in ancient India and China, have traditionally regarded body structures and the life processes occurring within as inseparable. Their terminology resides halfway between structure and function and identifies certain entities in the human body, representing the flow of life energy and, in some sense, conduits for that flow that do not correspond to anatomical structures recognized by Western science and medicine. The chakras are the energy centers in a person’s biological field and are responsible for his or her physiological and psychological condition as well as certain groups of organs. All vital functions of the human body are determined by energy that spins in the chakras. These can be defined as
“whirlpools referred,” and in Indian, they are considered “energy bursts” or “wheels.”
The process of energy transformation happens exactly in these centers. Vital energy, along with blood, circulates around the meridians in the chakras and fuels all organs and systems in the human body. When the circulation in these meridians stagnates, the human body becomes susceptible to various disorders. An excellent preventative method, designed explicitly to battle such stagnation is Chi Gun, an ancient Chinese method for self-healing which activates the energy centers. Chi Gun teaches people to release the energy themselves by massaging specific areas corresponding to the different chakras.

This document discusses the relationship between the body and mind from various perspectives including quantum physics, biopsychology, yoga, and traditional Indian medicine. It explains how thoughts and emotions can impact the body by influencing hormone secretion and the nervous system. Various yoga postures and practices like asanas, meditation and massage are described as ways to achieve physical, mental and energetic balance by harmonizing the endocrine glands and energy flows in the body. Maintaining proper posture through yoga is posited as a way to positively influence mood and overall health.
Jin Shin Jyutsu is an ancient Japanese practice that uses touch to release energy blockages and restore balance in the body. A single Jin Shin Jyutsu treatment lasts about an hour and continues releasing energy for eight more hours, healing and relaxing the body. Several other holistic therapies are described, including kinesiology, labyrinth walking, light therapy, magnet therapy, massage, meditation, and myofascial release, which address physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being through techniques like movement, touch, and energy work.
Jin shin jyutsu is an ancient art that releases tensions in the body's energy pathways called meridians. When these pathways become blocked, it can lead to discomfort or pain by disrupting energy flows. In a jin shin jyutsu treatment, the practitioner uses their hands to stimulate blocked areas and reopen the pathways, releasing pain and stress. A single treatment lasts about an hour and continues healing the body for eight additional hours by unblocking and balancing the meridians.
Exploring the Five Elements of Classical Chinese Medicine.pptxAncientWisdomHealing
The holistic approach of classical Chinese medicine has been used by the Chinese for millennia. It is based on the fact that the human body follows similar laws as nature, which requires harmony between body, mind, and spirit. To achieve this balance, they have applied the Five Elements theory to understand how external forces affect us and how our organs interact. In this article, we will examine what these Five Elements are, their corresponding organs & meridians, associated symptoms & imbalances related to each element and possible treatments for any imbalance.
Medical Qigong and Psycho-Spiritual AnatomyGeorge Love
The Taiji Pole is the central energy channel that runs from the perineum to the crown of the skull, connecting the three Dantians (elixir fields). It corresponds to the central nervous system and is the inner core of the energy body. Through practicing Qi Gong and meditation, one can circulate Qi through the Taiji Pole to develop the three treasures - Jing, Qi, and Shen energies - associated with the lower, middle and upper Dantians respectively. Maintaining an erect Wuji posture is important for allowing balanced Qi flow through this central channel.
The vestibular system is the part of the inner ear that helps us m.docxchristalgrieg
The vestibular system is the part of the inner ear that helps us maintain our balance and sense of head orientation and movement. It's as old as the cochlea in evolutionary time. The systems are highly similar. In both, hair cells transduce motion into nerve
signals, but the vestibular system senses much slower vibrations of just a few Hz in contrast to the cochlea's 20 to 20,000 Hz.
The cochlea, on the right hand of the picture, gives us our sense of hearing. The three semicircular canals of the vestibular apparatus, on the left, are fluid-filled tunnels in the skullbone. Each semicircular canal contains hair cells in the bulge at its base, the ampulla. Because the semicircular canals on each side of the head are oriented roughly at right angles to each other, they signal head movement no matter how we move.
The utricle and saccule sense static head position. They contain particles of calcium carbonate that pull on hair cells. The hairs in the utricle are vertical, while those of the saccule are horizontal; thus the organ can tell you the angle of the head in geometric coordinates! If one of the bony particles, called otoconia, should slip out of position you may experience a form of dizziness when you bend over that is called benign paraoxysmal positional vertigo (sometimes the "paraoxysmal" is left out). A doctor will tell you how to bend your head to reposition the otoconia and return to normal or it may slip back on its own in a few months. You can find more about vertigo here.
Understanding the vestibular part of the inner ear helps to explain why we get so dizzy when we spin, a joy that diminishes with age. If you are a parent of toddlers, know that when you reach middle age they will be just the age to delight in carnival rides, and of course you will be invited to join them after a large, greasy lunch. A noble calling, parenthood.
We judge motion by comparing what the eyes see with what the vestibular organs sense about our body movement. If the vestibular apparatus says that we're not moving, then any movement sensed by the eyes must be outside the body. (The brain discounts the appearance of movement caused by eye movement itself.) Then the brain tells the eyes just how to move to keep track of the moving object. If we're moving and the world is moving, too, we need to keep track of the objects while adjusting for our body's movement. The eyes and the semicircular canals have to work together on this. However, if you twirl around and set the fluid of one or two pairs of the semicircular canals into motion and then stop suddenly, you fool the brain into thinking the world is spinning. The reason is that the vestibular fluid is moving as though you're moving, so the eyes are moved to track objects.
This eye movement, called nystagmus, makes the world seem to spin. You can produce the same effect by drinking alcohol, which lowers the specific gravity of the fluid of the semicircular canals and stimulates the vestibular hair ce ...
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has over 2000 years of history and uses different approaches than Western medicine. TCM is based on Daoist ideas of balance in the universe and diagnosis focuses on identifying energy imbalances. Massage called tui na works on meridian points like acupuncture without needles. Herbal remedies are commonly used to treat illnesses based on diagnosis of pulses, tongue, and the Five Elements theory. Qigong exercises and meditation are practiced for preventative health, stress relief, and treating chronic conditions. Acupuncture regulates qi and blood flow using stimulation of meridian points. The yin-yang theory describes opposing natural forces applied to understanding the human body.
The document provides an overview of anatomy and physiology topics, including:
1. It begins with an index listing the main topics covered on pages 2-51, including flow of consciousness, reversibility of disease, body energy, breathing techniques, and systems of the body.
2. Breathing techniques like cleansing, equal, rapid, and abdominal breathing are described as ways to relax the body and mind.
3. Systems of the body like the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and others are briefly outlined.
4. General pathology terminology for suffixes like -itis, -ectomy, and prefixes like leuco, gastro, and osteo are defined.
Dr. A.N. Das presented on health, the mind, soul, and spirituality. He defined health as a balanced state of mind, body and soul. The mind is responsible for thoughts, emotions, and attitudes. The soul is the spiritual part that some believe continues after death. Spirituality relates to religious beliefs and connecting with something beyond material things. Maintaining health involves balancing the soul, mind and body through practices like yoga and meditation that help purify thoughts and connect with the supreme soul. This provides positive energy and protects from disease by boosting the immune system.
The document discusses the chakra system, which describes seven major energy centers (chakras) located along the spinal column. Each chakra corresponds to a different aspect of human experience and is associated with a specific color. The chakras are said to process spiritual and physical energy and support various human functions like communication, emotions, and intuition. While not physical objects, the chakras can be conceptualized as existing in locations on the body and are proposed to relate to different endocrine glands and physiological systems. Kundalini energy is also described as a primal force that can awaken and flow between the chakras through nadi energy channels like the sushumna.

According to an old Chinese medical principle, emotional balance
is the ability to feel all emotions appropriately. When a client is feeling
challenged and stressed out, he or she can get fixed in one emotional state,
the result of which can be fatigue, pain, depression, and lack of self-esteem.
Such an emotional state of imbalance is mirrored in the physiological and
anatomical systems of the body. A client in this state might exhibit posture that slumps
forward and a kyphotic back with rounded shoulders. Tendons become tight and
muscles can atrophy because of insufficient energy pushing blood and lymph.
There is a connection between qi, or universal life energy, and blood and lymph.
According to the ancient Chinese medical text The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal
Medicine, “Qi motivates blood and fluids,” which means that there is an energy
that drives the heart and circulatory system. Ultimately, without balance, there is
dysfunction.
The Taoist Perspective
A healthy emotional state can be observed in early childhood. A toddler will be
happy one minute, screaming and frustrated the next, and then happy again before
the tears have time to dry. Unfortunately, as we age, our emotional responses
become more and more predictable, rigid, and even neurotic. We have difficulty
adjusting our patterned responses, and the free flow of emotions becomes blocked.
So how exactly can emotions affect and harm physiological and anatomical
systems? According to ancient Taoist philosophy, our emotions and soul inhabit
our internal organs. There is a whole physiology associated with how the emotions
circulate from organ to organ and to larger physiological systems. The organs
contain the very essence of our emotional, physical, and spiritual life force and
form an invisible web that influences our bodies right down to the cellular level.
It is important to understand that it is only when we feel our emotions excessively,
and they become chronic, that emotions, even good ones, can harm us. For example:
anger weakens the liver and gallbladder; grief weakens the lung and large intestine;
worry weakens the stomach and spleen; joy weakens the heart, pericardium, and
small intestine, and ultimately the brain; and fear weakens the kidneys and bladder.
Finding Balance

Fatigue, low motivation, and lack of
self-esteem flow from such excess, and
the client can feel stuck as a result.
From the Organs to the Tissues
According to the five-element theory in traditional Chinese medicine
(TCM), internal organs also control corresponding tissues. When the
qi in an organ gets weakened, it becomes blocked and there is no life
force or universal life energy moving the blood and lymph. For example,
in addition to being influenced by anger, the liver and gallbladder also
control the tendons and attachment sites. Therefore, when the liver and
gallbladder qi becomes weakened by the emotion, tendons show tightness.
The lungs and large intestines control skin and hair. When the lung qi
becomes weakened by grief, there could be acne, eczema, psoriasis, and
hair loss. The stomach and spleen control the muscle bellies. Deficiency
of qi in the stomach and spleen can give rise to atrophy and weak, painful
musculature; what comes to mind is the client with fibromyalgia. A
weakness in the heart, small intestine, and pericardium qi results in
circulatory and brain problems. The client could be suffering from high
blood pressure or Raynaud’s syndrome, lack of focus, concentration issues,
hysteria, and toxic digestion, for example. The kidneys and urinary bladder
control the bones and brain. If qi in the kidney and urinary bladder is
weak, the client may have arthritis, osteoporosis, and a poor memory.
The task of the therapist is to unblock the flow of qi, strengthen
it, and ultimately keep it balanced for the health of the client.
Using Acupressure Points
There are certain key acupressure points linked to the
different internal organs, and subsequently, the emotions.
Each point can be used to evaluate and treat emotional
imbalances, together with concurrent issues in the tissues.
To begin, press and palpate lightly for evaluation. The
pressure is the weight of a coin (roughly 5 grams). On a
pressure scale of 1–10, with 10 signifying extremely painful
pressure and 1 hardly any pressure at all, the pressure should be
2–4. For treatment, increase the pressure to 4, holding the point or
rotating on it for a minute or longer, depending on the emotional
state of the client. (Counterclockwise rotation, as seen from the
therapist’s viewpoint, has a sedative and grounding effect.)
The organs contain the
very essence of our
emotional, physical, and
spiritual life force and
form an invisible web that
influences our bodies right
down to the cellular level.
Stomach and Intestines
I recommend starting with the
mind and its connection to the rest
of the body through the stomach
and intestines. This consists of
connecting with the extra point,
Yin Tang (also known as the Third
Eye), which is situated between
the eyebrows. In reiki, this point
is in the area of the sixth chakra;
in TCM, it is known as the Higher
Dantian. At the same time we
place our hands on the Third
Eye, we connect with Conception
Vessel 12, which is on the third
chakra halfway between the navel
and xyphoid process (Image
1). Conception Vessel 12 is the
master point of the stomach.
Therefore, we are also addressing
worry, anxiety, and hysteria.

We always want a bipolar
connection, which is based on the
idea of linking yin and yang, or two
opposite and mutually supportive
properties. For example, we link
the qi of the brain, representing
yang, with the internal viscera
and fluids of the stomach and
intestines, representing yin
Blood and Circulation
Next, we connect with the master
point of the lower body, Spleen 6, to
ground the client by using a yin point
that controls blood and circulation.
Simultaneously, we are addressing
worry and anxiety by rooting or
anchoring the energy of the mind and
emotions in cooling liquid, which is
symbolized by yin. Spleen 6 is a hand-
width above the tip of the medial
malleolus. Treat bilaterally every time.
Lungs
Move to the Back-Shu points of
the lungs for depression and grief.
Back-Shu points are found directly
above the organs on the Urinary
Bladder channel and directly
infuse energy into them. The two
points are Urinary Bladder 13 and
WOLFGANG, SECOND POINT??,
and are in line with the root of the
spine of the scapula and two finger-
widths lateral to the spinous process
of thoracic vertebra 3 (Image 2).
Back-Shu points are always
bilateral and are situated on the
Urinary Bladder channel. They
can be likened to jumper cables
in cars, since they charge up the
organ and balance the emotions
immediately. WOLFGANG,
anything missing here?
Kidneys
A good next stop would be then the Back-Shu points of the kidneys, or
Urinary Bladder 23. The kidney qi is ultimately responsible for the energy in
all the organs, and although the kidneys are associated with fear and fright,
the power of the kidneys is such that it controls willpower as well. Urinary
Bladder 23 is also known as the Gate of Life and represents the Lower Dantian,
or principal energy center of the body. The kidneys belong to the water
element and therefore cool the heart, with its associated emotion of joy and
hysteria. Urinary Bladder 23 is level with lumbar vertebra 2 and 3 (Image 3).
2Bilateral contact on
Urinary Bladder 13.
3Apply stationary pressure on
the Gate of Life, or Urinary
Bladder 23, for sedation.
4When treating for excess
imbalance of the emotions,
always rotate fingers or
thumbs counterclockwise
using light pressure.

Liver
For clients with anger, frustration,
or even hate, Liver 3 is an excellent
balancing point. Sensations felt by
the client on this point can be sharp,
like a thumbtack pushed through,
depending on their heightened
emotional state. This point treats the
stress from the anger that manifests
itself in tight tendons. The point
also treats headaches, like migraines
and tension headaches linked to the
stress of anger and frustration. When
you link it with the Yin Tang point
between the eyes, it can calm the
sympathetic nervous system and also
lift chronic depression. The point is
between the first and second metatarsal
bones, slightly below the cleft where
they split. Often just doing a finger
walk toward the cleft, from the web
between the first two toes, evokes
the desired sensitive response (Image 4).
going FuLL CirCLe
We have gone full circle in our choice of organs according to the
Nourishing Cycle of the Five Elements in TCM. Each time, we
have connected with an organ that was probably overnourishing or
overstimulating its partner. The connections and sequences are better
understood in reference to the diagram of the Five Elements (Image 5).
In the cycle of generation shown by the outer ring, the heart,
small intestine, triple burner, and pericardium belong to the element
fire. The qi of fire feeds earth, which includes the organs of the
stomach and spleen. Earth feeds metal with qi, which contains
the lungs and large intestine. From there, the qi travels to the
water element, which consists of the kidneys and urinary bladder.
Then, the qi feeds the element wood, which contains the liver
and gallbladder. Finally, the qi ends back in the element fire.
This constant, cyclical movement and flow is symbolized
by the Taiji symbol and represents the opposite of stagnation
and blockage. Movement and flow represent health,
whereas blockage and stagnation represent sickness.
It is the therapist’s task to restore the natural flow of qi throughout
the mind and body. Regardless of the symptoms of pain, depression, or
stress exhibited in the tissues, the guiding principle of TCM acupressure
is to free the flow of qi to promote harmony and spiritual health.
