Treatments
To find out what’s happening in the body when there’s pain or illness, we look at how the energy is flowing, blockages or weakness, heat-cold balance, dryness-moisture balance, and so on.
When we say “how the energy is flowing” this isn’t just a flowery way of talking. It means:
“How are all the body systems and organs communicating with each other?”
“Where is the miscommunication that’s creating pain and illness?”
“What needs to be stimulated and what needs to be calmed, so that everything works properly again?”
Once we have an idea of what’s happening, then we construct a treatment to communicate with the body. We may need to clear blockages, cool heat, strengthen weakness, wake up stagnant areas and so on.
To do this, any of these therapies may be combined for the best effect:
Acupuncture, Acupressure, Moxibustion and Sho Ni Shin
Energy Medicine – Qi Gong and Reiki
Chinese Medicine Lifestyle and Diet Therapy

Be soft in your practice. Think of the method as a fine silvery stream, not a raging waterfall. Follow the stream, have faith in its course. It will go its own way, meandering here, trickling there. It will find the grooves, the cracks, the crevices. Just follow it. Never let it out of your sight. It will take you.
