Pricklies – Damp

Welcome

This is normal.

This does not mean water au naturale. Damp is when it is stuck/obstructing flows. See page 24/25 WDCD and the chapter in Woman Tides. Also here (CLICK) Lymph revision (CLICK)

All hard cases are – resolve Damp and Phlegm – first – if it is unclear – treat them. Also – low throid – as this affects all regions an levels of body – Iodine (CLICK) – and thyroid function (CLICK) – back cycling to Rescue the Metabolism and the first part of the Move Your Qi is lymph . .always. . the inner sea – clean it up – more clean hydration and minerals – from Love Your Body Better online course as part of this package.

Damp/mould  – how to remove it

Points to relieve.
FIRST – clear out why it is there  ad the hands-on lymph work applies – fastest way – it is solid – as opposed to Qi – and thus is palpable – and is the first stage of any Gentling Way work – do the first move – and feel all shift – esp the neck – and the perineal pull-up. Too simple.

Clear cold – as the Yang QI must flow.
Correlation between damp  fluids not flowing – esp intracellular (Lung function – the Life Recipe (CLICK) applies – we have this covered in the Reconnecting work –

‘Go to’ – you will always hear of St 40.


St 40 – FENGLONG


See here (TCM) (CLICK) Also here (CLICK) And here (CLICK)

We need to not only look at the physicality – biomedical is how TCM lives – we are heart/soul also.

‘The Neijing tells us that the Earth energies come to the fore in the last 18 days of each season. The beginning of spring in the southern hemisphere is at the midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, namely August 6th. Which means the transition period began on July 18th. This might seem awfully early to be thinking about spring, but already we are noticing the budding of trees, the lengthening of days and the odd warm one. Spring is in the wings. Personally I am noticing a slight irritability tugging at my liver, my spring alarm clock.

The Earth Element acts as a mediating influence, a power to connect. Using Earth acupoints at a change of season greatly supports a person’s capacity to move smoothly with the change and avoid struggle, discomfort and illness’.
ST 40 is a massive point for mania – though as above – look to DAMP and HEAT . .

Five elements (CLICK) Fenglong ~ Abundant Splendour is an important point of the Stomach meridian. As the luo-connecting point of Stomach, Fenglong connects to its partner Spleen and balances Qi between the two, harmonising the yin and yang of Earth.

It is the single most important point for clearing phlegm from the body. Phlegm arises when the Spleen’s function of transportation of fluids is impaired and fluid congeals. As the connecting point, Fenglong activates the Spleen’s transporting function and so treats phlegm related conditions, particularly of the digestive and respiratory systems: cough with mucous, bronchitis, pneumonia, constipation, nausea, vomiting, gastric pain, cysts, lipomas and other lumps under the skin.

But it is for its effects in the psycho-emotional realm that Fenglong is renowned in the Five Element tradition. It helps a person who is feeling scarcity in her life to reconnect with a sense of abundance. The character feng depicts the threshing floor at harvest time, brimming with grain, while long indicates a multiplication many fold of this abundance. Together they portray the magnificent, splendorous bounty of Heaven and Earth.

Ultimately the feeling of abundance has nothing to do with how much we possess, for abundance is not a physical state, but a condition of the mind and of the spirit. When Earth energies are balanced, there is a natural recognition of the abundance that the universe offers us: the bounty and the beauty of nature, the love and connection we share with others, and the simple fact of being alive. Abundant Splendour proclaims these gifts of Earth. It has the capacity to connect us with the truth that we are already the cornucopia of life’s abundance. When we understand that we are a living personification of abundance, there can be deep satisfaction from simply being alive and present to life”.
