Iiiiii’m back. Not 100% yet, but my energy level is high.

 

It seems I didn’t have my wits about me while I was sick. I guess that was the point...to help me get out of my head. Toward the end of my illness I started getting information again. The good stuff always comes at the end. Like when you are looking or something, it is always in the last place you look because you stop looking after you find it.

 

TREATING ILLNESS

None of this is written in stone, but it gives you some guidelines to go by.

1. Treat the Yang Organ /Meridian associated with discomfort or illness.

2. In most cases don’t DIRECTLY treat the “Problem” area.

3. When in doubt Reiki, Tap or Press to stimulate lymph drainage.

 

I thought I would incorporate a little test in with the explanation, so scroll down after you answer each question.

 

1. Treat the YANG Organ / Meridian

 

Yang organs are solid or hollow???

Yang organs are hollow. They are the “movers” of a given element. An illness usual arises from stagnation so by stimulating the movers illness can be avoided or lessened.

FIRE = Small Intestine (internal cleanse like “Dieter’s Tea")

EARTH = Stomach (Vomiting or use of Purgatives)

METAL = Colon (Eating plenty of fiber or Enemas)

WATER = Bladder (Drinking LOTS of clean water)

WOOD = Gall Bladder (Eating bitter green foods)

 

I started turning around after I worked my Bladder meridian for about 30 minutes.

 

The 5 Elements relate to the 5 Senses. Do you know which sense relates to what element?

Ears = _______

Nose = _______

Eyes = _______

Mouth = _______

Touch = _______

Ears = WATER (Yin: Kidneys / Yang: Bladder)

Nose = METAL (Yin: Lungs / Yang: Colon)

Eyes = WOOD (Yin: Liver / Yang: Gall Bladder)

Mouth = EARTH (Yin: Spleen Pancreas / Yang: Stomach)

Touch = FIRE (Yin: Heart / Yang: Small Intestine)

 

My main complaint was the spinning, which was caused by fluid in the Ears. By working the Bladder meridian I was able to stimulate some positive movement within the Bladder meridian and Ears.

 

I was making all kinds of mistakes as I was getting sick. For example, I had a reflexology class I attended for CEUs the Saturday before ya’ll tapped on me. During the class I had someone work on my sinuses. That stimulated the congestion to move into my Ears. Ooops Can you guess where I should have been spending my energy when it was just a sinus issue? Hint: It is a Yang meridian that is not the Water element.

I should have been working my METAL element. My Colon to be specific. The colon relates to what??? Yep “letting go” and it turned out that ‘letting go of my thoughts” was at the core of the illness. I believe I could have avoided this illness if I had been on top of things, but I wasn’t and I got to learn / relearn a few things.

 

By working directly on my sinuses I was putting excess energy into the storing and building part of the METAL element. I was causing more pressure in my head by working directly on the issue. If I had sped up my Colon I would have moved the excess energy out of my sinuses. Does that make sense??

 

I also had Beth Reiki my head. Man was I asking for it. Same thing with Reiki. If I had her Reiki my Colon and stimulate movement there the sinuses would have eased off. Which brings me to…

 

2. In most cases don’t DIRECTLY treat the “Problem” area.

 

Most presenting pain and discomfort is a symptom of something bigger underneath. In most cases it is best to treat pain especially Extreme pain indirectly.

 

My illness started out in the middle of my head, and related a lot to 3rd Eye chakra issues. What is the counterpart to the 3rd Eye Chakra?

Yep you guessed it the 2nd Sacral Chakra that is located in the lower abdomen where the..HELLO...Colon is located.

 

By treating the Yang organ or meridian you usually INDIRECTLY cause positive change. So what do you do if a person has an illness in the Yang organs? You work the Lymph system!

 

3. When in doubt Reiki, Tap or Press (Reflexology) to stimulate lymph drainage.

 

Sometimes the best bet is to work to stimulate the Lymphatic system. We have a 2 prong defense system in the body. #1 the Thymus who sends out white blood cells (our army) to kill bad guys. #2 and just as important is the lymphatic system. The Lymphatic system cleans up the mess our army made killing the bad guys. If there is too much killing (Autoimmune disease) the Lymph can’t keep up and we get toxic.

 

So instead of Beth Reiking my head or Colon, I could have better instructed her to Reiki my Lymphatic System.

 

What Element, Meridian and Organ is in charge of the Lymph system.

Earth – Spleen

 

The Spleen is the one Yin meridian you can treat during illness. With any illness especially cancer the body will benefit from Spleen stimulation. However, there is one illness that you have to be extremely carful treating via Spleen stimulation. Can you guess what it is??

Lymphoma! Lymphoma is one of the worst cancers because it is in the Lymph system which is in charge of keeping the body clean. You can still Reiki, Tap and Press to stimulate Lymph movement but in VERY VERY I mean VERY small doses. If a healthy person could be helped by 15 minutes of energy work on the Lymph system a person with cancer especially Lymphoma can't take much more than 3 minutes without stirring up too many toxins. This is VERY important. Go slowly with sick people.

 

So the next time you are working on someone play with effecting positive change through an indirect approach!!

 

I hope you have enjoyed this installment of Element Play.
