Welcome
Focus – easy living. Body working on automatic – as designed. No micromanaging needed.
To be here – you wonder. . . You may need to know how you can assist keeping a body in check – healthy and happy.
Firstly – what is health?
My working definition – after 40 years I have not been able to fault this
Ability to adapt to change – stay within limits of homeostasis
What is illness?
Why is illness?
Who asks what is health.
AND
Why it is faltering?
If you knew what you were doing to hurt your health – and options instead – you would have more reason to take charge of yourself.
When thinking of baking a cake – you need the recipe stating ingredients to get – and quantities. The method – creaming butter and sugar, melting in a pan, rubbing butter into flour – all determine how your product begins. Do it wrong (maybe assume you know what to do without checking) – anything could happen. In a body – we speak of nutrients and circulation – when we get these right – all else follows.
Assumptions – you have a functional oven. Fuel source is stable. Oven is clean, has shelves, door seal is tight. That you have the tools needed to follow the recipe well (food processor, blender, mixers, sieves etc), the bowls, the pan to put the batter in to cook, and anything else – paper, lubrication – that allows the finished product to be in the oven
In a body – your gut that is happy (functional), and your body can SEE (assimilate) the nutrients that are in the system. Look to the table picture below. Food as ingredients is the start. So, there you are – when you think you should be ‘fixed’ – at least ‘better’ – as you have changed WHAT you pop in – maybe not. There is so much more that affects whether this is even possible. Go to leg on right at the front of the table – WHAT CAN YOUR BODY DO WITH THIS. Another slip up – inner obstacles, resistances, challenges – set up to actually cook? – Assumptions as in the kitchen. Programmed to fail? This sits in the right back.
Structure determines function. Flows – can they? Qi, red blood, blue blood, clear (lymph) blood, nerves. Most obvious – your organs/ viscera should slide and glide over each other. Can they? This is why I suggest you go to selfing course – the self soothing gets your hands-on your body.
The basics
So many look only at what goes in their mouths – there is so much more when attempting to turn their lives around. The structure – determines whether or not your flows can flow. What flows may I be speaking of?
Qi, Blood (red) Blood (blue) and Blood (clear) – lymph plus nerves . .
What happens – the 5 ‘T”s’ – and then – what you can do about this – I call it Triage –
Undo shock, take out cold and attend to all life residue. When I am teaching acupuncturists I speak of scars. . these on the skin – and underneath as adhesions – mess with the flows of the energy that is to give the instructions to run a body well. What may have happened for you is that the effort to keep all systems in some semblance of running order is too much – and a system failure may happen.
2015 – Causes of Disease – possibly not what you think
Covering – inner and outer, miscellaneous . . Also mentioning – Tibetan classifications.
This is based on my decades of teaching and working with the East Asian model (with my ‘take’ on – as I have been at the forefront of what is NOT working when it is supposed to – and all else fails – we then investigate – why your body is not able to heal itself).
Miscellaneous:
- Constitution
- Diet
- Supplements
- Hydration
- Parasites
- Toxins
- Scars – inner and outer
- Leylines
- Overtaxation
- No exercise
- Excess’ sex
- Iatrogenesis
- Excess electrical interference
- Negative self talk
- Rest/regeneration
- Bugs
- Food factory
Understated – living according to the Way of the Tao . .your culture via your mother’s repeated life instructions – are like an owner’s manual. Forgotten – biology – runs the show.
Adaptability – being in harmony with the outside forces – weather and seasonal changes – as well as what is happening with the external monthly pulls generated the moon’s relationship to the planet. If you were a traditional farmer, these outside portents would run your life. Food fails – survival falters – everyone dies.
There are seasons of a life also – girls and boys have 7 and 8 year cycles..
