Chronic illness is often used as a tool of enlightenment to get the teachings of soul journeys.
Often, our physical bodies reflect the spiritual, psychological and biological imprints of our experiences.
When we engage a process of healing, often practitioners address the physical or biological aspects of health challenges, yet the psychological and emotional aspects are often neglected.
Thus, it's important to seem at our emotional and spiritual patterns to get the teachings in specific health conditions.
In the Chinese system of drugs, there's a mapping of personality archetypes that correlate with specific viscus imbalances. These correlations can give insight into the emotional and spiritual aspects of health challenges.
For example, someone with a kidney imbalance or adrenal fatigue or bladder issues might lean toward excessive fears such as energy becomes stagnant to make kidney stones. we might call this personality A "water" type. they could tend to be very introspective and inward, suppressing feelings as against expressing them. Also, water personalities could be challenged by exhibiting discipline.
On a spiritual level, water aspects are about spiritual essence, so lessons that need to do with our jing-our spiritual DNA or heritage, cyclic patterns of energy that are related to our spiritual ancestors and our spiritual blueprint.
So, once we have issues involving a kidney pattern, either within the sort of weak kidneys (sluggish energy), kidney stones, weak bones, or cancer, we'd like to ask ourselves, "On a spiritual level, what energies am I holding around heritage and ancestors which will be depleting my kidney energy? What fears am I holding?"
On the opposite hand, an individual with a high vital sign, dizziness, and tendency towards insomnia or anger may need more of a wood personality, manifesting imbalances with the liver. The partner of the liver is that the gallbladder, another wood element organ. A personality archetype of an individual with imbalances of the gallbladder would be one who has difficulty making decisions and defining themselves and their path within the world. there's often a way of angst or wavering about what to try to or who to be within the world.
Spiritually wood is about creativity and therefore the most benevolent aspects of spirit. So, once we have health challenges that are more of a wood issue, we will ask, "What issues or energies am I holding around blooming compassion or handling suppressed anger?" How am I allowing my spirit and personality to manifest creativity?"
Metal personalities often are more susceptible to lung challenges, asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory and auto-immune issues which will express more on the skin or through the massive intestine. Metal out of balance can represent an individual who tends to be righteous in fighting injustices but perhaps at A level that depletes their energy such the immunity and therefore the lungs suffer. Irritable bowel syndrome also can be a bent for people that have a robust metal element, as there could also be issues with holding onto experience and feelings that not serve the body, creating inflammation within the organ itself that's liable for elimination of poisons. Perfectionists often fit into this metal category as trying to realize very lofty goals-part of the righteous aspect of the self that's trying to achieve the very best level of accomplishment.
Spiritually, metal is related to our "Wei qi", external immunity that protects spiritually. "Wei qi" is often compared to an active shield. So, we'd ask ourselves, "What issues or energies am I holding around protection, perfection or the necessity to right injustices on a spirit level?"
Earth personalities tend to manifest spleen/stomach and digestive issues. they'll also exhibit challenges with boundaries (setting appropriate boundaries so on regulate activities and relationships such one doesn't become overwhelmed). Thus, anxiety may arise. Also, the world personality may tend to ruminate on thoughts and concepts which may also increase anxiety and therefore the health challenges which will accompany stress, like acid reflux, ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome.
Earth personalities are often natural nurturers but may have a bent to over-nurture and not make time for themselves. Thus, nourishing the self becomes a crucial healing tool for earth personalities. Challenges with grounding and centering energy can also emerge for earth personality persons as often their energies are stretched in numerous directions within the plan to care-take others.
On a level, earth represents spiritual intelligence. So, we'd introspect earth-related health challenges by asking, "What energies or issues am I holding around allowing my intuitive and spiritual intelligence to guide my path versus my cognitive, intellectual self? In what ways am I nourishing my ability to let spirit lead?"
Sometimes our spirit journeys may involve patterns or lessons around these elemental aspects of being such we may carry the imbalance of earlier spirit journeys in our bodies as patterns that reflect our elemental patterns of these times.
This is often the case with health conditions that don't answer traditional western or traditional eastern protocols. These conditions often reflect deeper-rooted soul lessons that require to be resolved. Thus, the method for resolution often takes time. Yet sometimes people need a band-aid and only want to take a position in their health with a couple of sessions or herbal formulations. Yet, the condition may have taken several lifetimes form-so the work of healing must be consistent, steady and regular to realize optimal resolution.
Understanding this long cycle of healing and supporting the journey with self-empowerment tools like self-acupressure, dietary and exercise guidance and spiritual mentoring may be a hallmark of the sort of Chinese medicine that I practice. Thus, clients are given a palette of tools from which they will pick and choose what resonates with them. Then, they will decide at which level they wish to implement strategies and tools in their lives. Thus, the client is that the driver within the healing experience with the practitioner merely facilitating a deeper road on which to travel.
