Oriental Medicine & On Human Conditions

Chapter One
Liver:  Anger, Love, and Redemption #2

"Every nerve ending in my body felt like it was exposed....I was dying from within."                                                                                                   domestic violence victim


Anger is easy and quick to arise.  But, we know little to extinguish it or how to come out from the state.   Since anger is a very strong emotion, we hold on to it longer than our heart desires.  In the back of our head, we wish we could end it, but as it lingers, the personal weakness is exposed, and the frustration builds up.  The frustration pushes away the help and the love, and we feel more trapped as we find ourselves unable to dissipate anger.  We then justify anger and search for the scapegoat.  When anger turns to righteousness, it inflicts psychological damages to a person we love.  It could turn into a daily verbal or physical abuse.  Violent and irrational actions are stemming from trapped emotions, not knowing how to escape from the shell we think we cannot break.

When anger is stored internally.  Angry words are trapped in the mind, and it is constantly fed and reinforced by negative thoughts.  Past negative experiences are amplified, and we feel trapped by a current circumstance even though we may not know clearly what we are angry about.  Our mind constantly spins, searching for an answer in vain.  Insomnia sets in.  The adrenal system goes out of balance.  The blood pressure rises.  The eyes get redder, facial expression becomes distressed, and indigestion becomes constant.

In a case of domestic violence, daily yelling, demeaning phrases, and physical threat become routine.  Nothing is good enough for him since anger makes him forget why he gets angry in the first place.  A victim on the other hand experiences fear, hopelessness, and numbness.  She forces herself to close her most inner feeling, filtering her thoughts to the fear of retaliation.  The sense of entrapment sets in.  She becomes fearful and self-doubtful.  When she speaks, her voice shudders.  Outburst of crying becomes frequent.  Her whole body aches and she feels that she is dying from within.

Both man and woman feel trapped, for anger attacks and displaces the intention and the will.  The original intention moves out from the heart's desire, and the process displaces the will.  The communication between the will of the heart and the brain is lost.  We longer act on the heart's desire, instead, anger becomes abstract, and the brain tries meaninglessly to depicts and define what it is.  Since we loose the intention and the will, we have nothing to hold on to and feel vulnerable.  Now, only thing certain is the anger itself.

If we are unable to come out of anger, we fall into the chasm of dark and lonely place with remorse and regret.  No one can help.  Deed is done.  Time heals us, and sometimes, friends help us.  However, we know the only way to come out from the abyss is by ourselves.

It is unfortunate that we must fall hard to bounce back.  Great healers have come out of the stage.  Some become wiser and find the personal fortitude.  Some learn to be excited without anger.  Some find solace in newfound interest.  It is the beginning of reconciliation and the awakening of true human potential.  Once we find it, it is much easier to move to the next Element* which is the Heart.  Heart rules the joy, and joy heals the Heart.
*Five Element Theory:  Joy belongs to the Heart as anger belongs to the Liver.


Simplest Thing You Can Do For Your Health No. 15
Three Dantiens:
Anyone who does marshal art knows that the power source of his Qi comes from the lower abdomen area called Dantien.  It is located about an inch directly below the navel.
This is the lower Dantien.  There are two more:  the upper and the middle.  The upper is the brain and connected with the Third Eye (Yin Tang).  The middle is on the mid-center of the sternum at the 4th intercostals (mid-center on the chest bone between the breasts), and it is connected with point called Ren-17.  Ren-17 is also known as the Receiver of Emotion.  In healing, the three must be balanced.

Yin Tang, being the Third Eye, opens all the gates* in the body, releases the anterior nape of the neck and then the mid-back.  It then sets Ren-17, the Receiver of Emotion, in position.  Ren-17 then sets all the lumbar vertebrae and the sacrum.  It then sets the lower Dantien.

In healing, especially emotional, you bring your finger to each point and place it gently, starting from the Third Eye.  Take a deep breath and try to be in alpha wave stage we talked about my last newsletter.  When relaxed, bring another finger to the sternum.
Now, two fingers are connected, and you should feel the healing energy going down.  Then bring the finger on the Third Eye, open the palm, and gently place on the lower Dantien.  Feel the warmth of your hand spreading all around the lower abdomen.  Disconnect the finger on the sternum, and gently place the palm on top of the other.  Again, feel the warmth.  Imagine that the warmth from the lower Dantien is spreading all over the body, down to the leg and up to the head and arms.  Once the feeling is complete, disengage the hands, bring finger to the inferior boarder of the supra-sternum notch (the base of the triangle at the nape of the neck) or ½ inch below it.  From here, you can listen to the Heart and connect with the Uterus.  Now all the Dantiens are balanced.  When this happens, you realize that this point looks on the North Star* which is represented by the Kidney meridian of the foot.  North Star being the center of the universe, it is to reflect on the Center* of ourselves.
*gate:  where sickness and emotional distress come and go
*North Star:  astronomy is incorporated with acupuncture, Ren-21 is called the Sextant.
*Center:  whatever you make up and feel connected

Oriental Medicine & On Human Conditions
Chapter One
Liver: Anger, Love, and Redemption #1

I often say to my clients that men are very much
suicidal because they do not try to maintain good
health until too late, in a case of stroke for
example. Women are fundamentally attune to the body*
and I think because of childbearing, they are more
survival oriented. The difference makes the relation
between man and woman difficult. I have seen many
wives crying and worrying about her husband's health
but feeling impotent to convince him to do something.
[*the body: recent surge in heart problems and
diabetes are concerning, however]
Most men do not easily reveal his weakness. He could
be stubborn, difficult, and stuck-headed. He does not
easily admit his faults and mistakes either. His
emotions are congealed, and he surrounds himself with
a shielded and knows less about how to come out from
it than putting up. Such characters are depended on
up-bringing and social circumstances. However, I
believe, it is partly based on the man's spirit or
shall I say fortitude that he sworn sometimes in his
life. It is the conviction that his spirit should not
be easily broken when difficulties arise. It is his
part of making an effort, as a man, and to go out in
the world to supply sustenance for his family.
In Oriental Medicine, the fortitude comes from the
Liver. The Liver is considered to be the general of
an army. It has the greatest influence on others, and
it is the Qi (Energy) mover. If the Liver starts to
fail, all the other organ will, too.
Liver houses the Spirit of Hun, the Ethereal Soul,
which gives the purpose and the guidance to the soul.
It pairs with the Gallbladder, and both are the
decision makers and the sources of determination. As
a boy goes through the puberty age and becomes an
adult, the energetic of the Liver gets stronger and
influences his state of being much so than for girls.
Being an adult male is to have the healthy and strong
Liver and Gallbladder.
As the Liver* energy gets stronger, he is no longer
susceptible to crying. His muscles and tendons grow
stronger. He desires to be independent and to be
individual. The desire conflicts with the mother's
nurturing instinct, and he rebels against her. At the
same time, the strong Liver energy along with the
hormonal secretion desires to mate and to explore sex.
The conflict juxtaposes a secret longing for the
mother and the mother-ness in an opposite sex.
[*Liver: controls the muscle and tendons, stores the
Blood, opens into the eyes, manifests in the nails,
and influences the sexual functions.]

However, the openness of the heart does not belong to
the Liver. If the Liver energy gets imbalanced, he
shuts emotions down and conceals it in the Liver*.
When he does this, he could be irritable and quick to
anger since his emotion has nowhere else to go. He
feels trapped, unable to communicate. He thinks he
can alleviate situations but lacks actions to change.
As he goes through the stage, his congealed anger gets
stronger. He is not only angry at someone or
something, but mainly at himself.
[*Liver: if not controlled, he becomes neurotic and
manic]
Anger is the intrinsic nature of the Liver. It is
such a strong Qi mover. It gives a direction and it
balances with worrying*. It is usually under control
because anger hurts so much*. When anger is properly
handled, it turns to excitement, joy, and bliss. If
not, through anger comes regret and remorse, through
regret and remorse comes repentance and shame, and
through repentance and shame comes humility and
humbleness. If one masters how to control anger, he
is truly a master of life.
[*worrying: the Spleen element, sometimes the Ke
Cycle is needed to be reversed
(Ke Cycle: from the Five Element Theory, the
destructive direction of five organs).]
[*anger hurts: physiologically, it hurts in the
stomach, in the shoulder, the neck, and the temporal
area of the head. One common place to store anger for
men is in the lower back.]
The transition of anger to excitement, joy, and bliss
depends on what the Japanese call it "a paper thin"
trait. There is not much difference between a great
man and an ordinary. Flip a paper, and you are great,
and flip the paper again, and you are ordinary. What
separates us is whether we have a substance or not at
the time it is truly needed. A few have it, most of
us struggle with it. For some, deep fear* hold them
back. Success and failure depend only on a very small
personal trait we all have. It is a click in the
brain saying "I want to change," "I can do it," or
something simply saying "No" or "Yes." It creates a
cross road in our lives.
[*fear: the Kidney element, also the Mother element
of the Liver/anger = I discuss this in later chapter]
Most of us are successful in the clicking, but
sometimes his humility comes too late as in a marital
conflict. As he ages, the Liver energy gets weaker,
and he senses that he is easily swayed by emotions and
is susceptible to tears in the eyes. He becomes
little more sentimental but is more grounded. He
knows that he is no longer invincible and somewhat his
health is failing. Strong emotions are weakened and
he slowly accepts the need to open his heart. As he
looses the Yang (male) energy, he begins to understand
and feels the female side of the energy. However,
this coincides with the wife's Yin (female) energy
loosing out after the menopause. She no longer needs
to deal with the female cycle. As she looses
femaleness, her Yang energy rises, and a desire to be
independent becomes stronger. This is why the time
shortly after the menopause is a crucial period for a
married couple, especially, when all children are gone
from home. She who has given so much love through out
her life wants to be independent more than ever
before. For a husband, he faces with a choice of
keeping his regular appearance or to change his
attitude to open up more. Unfortunately,
most men do not know how to change or his ego blocks
it.
Anger, unhappiness, and regrets are abundant. But the
Liver belongs to the Spring, the beginning of the
season, and the life must go on. As spring turns to
summer, anger will subside, reconciliation will
happen, and our thoughts will turn.

Abdominal Breathing:
It is blissful if we can be at the alpha brain wave
length at all time. To be in the alpha stage, we must
begin to learn how to breathe. It takes some
practice, but try to breathe air into the lower
abdomen rather into the lungs. The abdomen should
rise before the chest. Concentrate. Breathe slowly
into the abdomen, feel that it is expanding, then as
you exhale, feel the stomach goes down, at the same
time, relax the abdominal muscles. Do this a few
times. Then, as you exhale, start concentrating on
relaxing not only the abdominal muscles, but the
shoulder,
the neck, and the muscles around the eyes.
In Oriental Medicine, the inhalation belongs to the
Kidney and the exhalation belongs to the Lungs and the
Heart. If you find a difficulty in the process, you
need to consider that an appropriate organ maybe weak.
Qi Gong, zen/monk, and marshal art masters all can
breathe air down to the foot*.
[*foot: Kid-3, the Yuan Source of the Kidney (Yuan
Source: origination of basic Energy of the organ0.]

Chinese Acupuncture and Japanese Acupuncture
Frequent question I am asked is the difference between
Chinese and Japanese acupuncture. Here are some
differences.
1) Japanese acupuncturists tend to diagnose an illness
with western science, follow by the Oriental Medicine
treatment protocol. For example, in case of
diabetes, Japanese would simply say symptoms due to
diabetes rather than the Yin Deficiency, and a
treatment protocol would be to nourish the Yin. A
different concept regarding a disease brings about the
difference in technique and point selection.
2) The most obvious difference is in the technique of
acupuncture. Japanese needle insertion is very
shallow and applies gentle and less manipulation. My
mentor told me once: "If there is pain, it is not
acupuncture." If I need to induce pain, it is a
dispersion technique (dispersion of excess energy).

3) Location of a point is different as well as the
purposeful usage of the point. Over the years,
Japanese develops slightly different locations on
certain points. Knowing the differences really helps
to choose the right location for a certain symptom.
4) Japanese acupuncturists prescribe Chinese herbs
less. This is because historically they were behind
Chinese in herbal remedies,* and they had to rely
more on acupuncture to be effective. In fact, an
herbalist in Japan would be looked down where as in
China the opposite is true.
*It took Japanese 400 years to catch up with Chinese
in herbal medicine.
Japanese intensely study Chinese classics, namely Su
Wen, Ling Shu, and Nan Jing*. Chinese revere herbal
classic, Shang Han Lun. For most American
practitioners, they are disadvantaged from the very
beginning of schooling because many important books by
Chinese and Japanese are not yet translated.
*In my opinion, Chinese perfected acupuncture 2000
years ago. Lessons are still
learned from the great books, and everything we do
today is simply an add-on to
the knowledge which already existed.
Lastly, the emphasis on a style and a technique of
acupuncture is not really important. You should
choose a practitioner who is effective and can reduce
symptoms the fastest in the most comfortable way.
How To Choose A Practitioner
The best way to find a right acupuncturist is to try
many different ones. As with anything, you need to
invest time and money: acquiring knowledge and
experience to discern a good from a bad. Second best
is by referral. Ask your friends and relatives if
they ever had an acupuncture treatment and how the
experience was. Third best is to call and talk to a
practitioner.

Words of Advise:
Do not make a decision on practitioner's credential
and fees alone. Inexperienced practitioner will
cost you more in a long run, and credentials sometime
do not mean much when the skill is concerned. Don't
make a decision on availability of insurance. When
you need help, you should have a plan and a budget.
Insurance coverage helps, but it is not an answer to
your cure or healing. Once you decide on a certain
practitioner, stick with him/her at least three to
five times. However, if there is no significant
change in ten sessions, choose an another*.
*Keep in mind that some conditions prevent from having a perceptible improvement: over medication, addiction to pain, mental blockage, extreme deficiency, chronic case, mentally ill, etc.

Tapping of the head. With your fingers, gently tap
the head from the front to the back. The front part
is good for the brain function, the top area for metal
clarity, back is for de-stress and for the eyes. All
area is good for de-stress and relaxation.
If you find a soft or a painful spot on the scalp, you
need to knead the area. As you shampoo every morning,
check to see if there are such spots. They are
usually indications of something deficient. If you
feel like your finger goes down ½ inch or more (of
course, this is physiological not possible), you need
to seek a treatment or a medical advice. The
extremely soft spot is precursor to either a
manifestation of an imminent stroke or a chronic
condition.

A Happy New Year!

I wish health, happiness, and blessings to all. I wish the world will be more peaceful and the people would make a significant progress toward improving the global warming.

Some Successes Last Year

There were many memorable treatments I performed last year. I am particularly happy to see a Parkinson disease patient improved about 90%. I am glad one person completely stopped smoking. Some patients' knees improved significantly. Many came with lower back pain, and consistency and patience paid off. Above all, I am happy to see in many that facial expressions changed to soft and relaxed to happiness and contentment. I am happy to involve in the healing process.

Consistency Pays Off

Since I do not call patients for more appointments, I often feel sorry for a patient who quits suddenly. Perhaps, a perception of improvement is not immediately recognizable, but a certain improvement does take place. There are many reasons for the perceptive indifference. A person may have chronic disease or pre-conditions difficult to heal, drug interference, addiction to pain, mental blockage, physical and psychological trauma, etc.

Sticking to my treatment should pay off in a long run. Most cases, I recommend at least three to five sessions to see if you start to feel perceptively better. As you get better, a certain emotion will settle down and you feel more grounded.

Free Lecture Coming Up in February

Please mark your calendar for my free lecture at New Vision in Scottsdale on February 21, Thursday, 2008, from 6 pm to 8 pm. Everyone attends gets $10 off from a treatment.

Simple Things You Can Do For Your Health No. 12

Against Cold and Flu:

If you do not want to get sick this winter, you need to increase a perception of your body to know when exactly a cold and flu is coming to your body system. If you find a sore throat today and think you might already had it yesterday, it is too late. Act immediately if you feel chills, start having runny nose, or a sore throat. Gargle with salt water. Take medicine. Do not take hot shower or especially hot bath when you feel like getting sick. Keep your body warm.

Usually a cold will come in either from the feet or from the upper back area. If you feel cold air passing over your feet, warm them up immediately and drink some hot tea with lemon. If you feel chills at the upper back (C-7 to T-3 area), immediately do the same. Or you can do the following treatment yourself.

During the cold season, bend the arm, knead and palpate the area of the elbow where the bone (the epicondyle) sticking up, push against the bone. If the area is tender, you need to push and knead more. Keep the upper back warm by placing a warm pad or heat (i.e., blow dryer the area). Stick-on-moxa treatment is the best: you can actually feel the coldness leaving your body. Drink lots of fluid as prevention and as a treatment. Consider water as a medicine. Must drink room temperature water and not iced.

At The Year's End
I thank all of you for supporting and understanding
acupuncture. 2007 has been a great year, and I am
looking forward to what 2008 would bring. The holiday
season is upon us and I wish you health, happiness,
and abundance (or blessing).
In this season of joy, I would like to reflect on
those who departed us and now rejoicing in heaven.
Gayle Toups was a wonderful mother and wife. Doreene
Clement had a strong spirit and was a dear friend.
Ferrell Secakuku was a former tribal chairman of the
Hopi Reservation, a snake priest, and a pacifist. I
miss them very much.
Good thing about my profession is that I make many
friends. I enjoy meeting people and derive my
happiness in their progress. I am truly blessed and
at the same time I am guided. I know I am in the
right course, and I look forward to the New Year.
Happy holidays!

Su Wen* Chapter 2: Winter
Chapter 2 is about how to live according to the four
seasons. "In winter, one should go to bed early and
get up late. Keep the body warm, and not to sweat
much (exhaustion of Yang Energy). If one is to
violate the principle, the Kidney is hurt."
I suggest keeping the lower back and the lower abdomen
warm. During the winter, the action is in storing.
Do not over exercise and sweat too much, for the
action is counter-productive to your health. If you
already have lower back pain, make sure your back is
warm as soon as you get up from bed and out of sheet.
This is the time our body is susceptible to cold and
flu. If you have a digestive issue, do not drink iced
water or tea. Making stomach cold not only reduces
the digestive capability, but also weakens the immune
system. Drink room temperature water or warmer.

Relax your fingers and open your hand. Bring the arch
made by the index finger and the thumb under the
earlobe. Where the tip of the thumb hits the back of
the head lays a famous point called "Wind Pool
(GB-20)." This is a very good point for headache,
prevention of cold/flu, sinusitis, empyema, vision,
cerebral anemia, shoulder and neck pain, just to name
a few. Knead the area. If your thumb gets tired,
rotate the head instead while the thumb is firmly
placed on the point.

One Complete Year
It has been already a complete year since I started my
acupuncture business at the current address. It went
fast. I thank you for all your support and appreciate
in connecting with me. Study for acupuncture never
ends. It is very deep and complicated. However, I
have learned a lot over the year. I am constantly
improving my skills and acquiring knowledge. Thank
you to all, and I look forward to another year of
association.

On Death And Dying
This year has started out with my father's death on
December 31st, 2006. It was his way of saying to
start a new year afresh. Within this year, I have
lost two of my patients and two good friends all to
cancer (my mother died of lung cancer and I feel the
deepest condolence to the surviving family members).
Never know when death hits. In my past newsletter, I
briefly mentioned about the wisdom within to bring the
homeostatic balance even in death: resolving the pain
of dying into the higher consciousness and accepting
the inevitable.
Regarding death, I do not think we can explain it
simply by the Yin and Yang relationship. Among sick
people, we might witness a so called Jue Yin Illness
(the terminal illness) where Yin and Yang separate and
the sick may feel the sensation of hot and cold at the
same time. He may raise his one arm in the air as if
he is reaching out to something. When this happens,
death is very near. However, death is more
complicated. Something happens in the process of
dying: it is no longer the balance of homeostasis or
the Yin and Yang separation. The ultimate moment is
mystery. I think it is a moment of the true Tai Chi,
the Oneness, with self and soul, with the universe and
the consciousness, and the jubilation of affirmation
and happiness. Life exists for billions of years. It
has prepared itself with the ultimate. It knows how
to die.

Diet Page Section Is Coming To My Website: Take A
Look
In my webpage, I will be adding a diet section. It is
very much based on Japanese foods. There will be many
sections such as diabetes, heart diseases, weight
reduction, reducing blood pressure and cholesterol,
etc. Please look forward to it.

Knead the area of the foot, between the second and
third metatarsal bones, approximately one third of the
distance between the base of the second toe and the
heel. It is where the depression is. This point is
called Gushing Spring (Kid-1). Since this point is
the beginning of the Kidney meridian, it is good for
any kidney ailment, which in turn indicated for
fatigue, weak leg, and insomnia. It is also a good
point to reduce blood pressure or plantar pain. Since
it is at the base of the foot, it is a good point to
make yourself grounded.
