can isolate and help alleviate the symptoms of what we call stress today. Soul search- ing to uncover the reason for our uneasiness and emotional pain is part of the process of healing. Many people find Talk Therapy helps them in this area. Others use prayer and chanting, while others may find breath work like Qi Gong, Sun Do or Yoga to be their path to a more stress-free life.
Acupuncture/Acupressure
The use of acupuncture and/or acupressure helps release emotions that have stagnated and are now causing a physical imbalance. Chinese Herbal Therapy is another way to help the body find its way back to a more fulfilling and empowering life.
Guilt Affects Almost Every Organ
Another emotion that has no roots in the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine is Guilt. It is exhibited often in today’s society and im- pacts almost every organ. There is absolutely no mention of this emotion in the old texts and yet in today’s world it brings such pain to so many people. That pain becomes stress, of course, and if untreated it will absolutely cause disharmony in the physical body. Guilt does not exist in the Chinese psyche for those who practice the religion/philosophies of Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism. We see guilt manifest in many different ways today. It is inwardly-directed and its object is the self. In this sense, it is almost the opposite emotion of anger, which is usually directed at another person.
Balance
Chinese Medicine balances emotion with the physical signs and symptoms of many chronic and acute diseases, treating emotions that are deeply imbedded in our minds and hearts.
