Lend Me Your Ear.












The ear picture links to the following site:

http://www.acupuncturedoc.com/ear.htm

The painting is by My Gibeaut. It reminds me of an entrance into another world.

The link below leads to a page that shows which points to use for what kinds of problems you wish to treat: The YinYang House site is a wealth of information for understanding and practicing healing . Like all arts and sciences, healing takes time to learn. Do not be intimidated it is worth the effort.

The ear is another wonderful way to treat yourself or anyone else. Remember you do not have to use needles. You can use the blunt end of a pencil or pen. You can use your finger. You can rub or press or pull the area indicated. You can send chi to the area. You are only limited by your fear or lack of creativity.
I urge you to be experimental. Try using the ear and the hand and maybe even some points of the body during the course of a treatment. I find I get excellent results by combining different methods. The book I have found the most helpful for ear treatment is one by Mario Wexu, D.AC, " The Ear; Gateway To Balancing The Body" It can be found at the author's website :
http://www.aurorapress.com/html/mario_wexu.html
Just for the sake of clarity, remember you do not have to use needles to get good results. But you do have to do something. If you want to give it a try, I suggest you order it from your local Library. When you have the book go to chapter nine. Ear Acupuncture Treatment. It lists a whole series of problems and the major and secondary points for treating them. Use one or more points for a few minutes. Be a good student and be patient but persistent.


Let me say for the umpteenth time that the things in all the acupuncture books I have recommended work without needles. You can use pressure or just light touch or even just placing a finger or hand over the point. Now for ear treatment. If you have pain somewhere, or someone you want to help is in pain, look at the picture of the ear above. Find the place on the ear that represents the place that is in pain. Touch the place with your finger, no pressure at all. Keep your finger on the point till the pain begins to recede. In most cases it will begin to diminish and even dissapear. The key is to take your time long enough for it to work. Sometimes it works in a minute or less. Sometimes it takes five or ten minutes Sometimes the pain comes back, sometimes it does not.

If you use Wexu's book go to chapter nine, Ear Acupuncture Treatment. In this section are many medical problems and how the points that are major and minor points for treatment. Look up one and check the major points and try one or two points with any of the modalities I recommended. Be a good student and be patient but persistent. If you cannot afford the book or want to try it before you buy it, I suggest a visit to your local library. They can order a copy.



Medical chi kung and all the healing methods found on this blog can help, but only if you use them.

The Knots Untie
by Runi

Fire is whispering a secret in smoke's
ear, "This aloe wood loves me because
I help it live out its purpose. With
me it becomes fragrance, and then
disappears altogether!" The knots
untie and open into absence, as you do
with me, my friend. Eaten by flame,
and smoked out into the sky! This is
most fortunate. What's unlucky is not
to change and disappear. The black soil
must crumble to give itself to plants.
Think how sperm and egg become a smiling
face and head. Bread must dissolve to
turn into thought. Gold and silver in
their raw forms aren't worth much. This
way leads through humiliation and contempt.
We've tried the fullness of presence. Now
it's time for desolation. Love is pulling
us out by the ears to school. Love wants
us clean of resentment and those impulses
that misguide our souls. We're asleep,
but Khidr keeps sprinkling water on our
faces. Love will tell us the rest of
what we need to know soon. Then we'll
be deeply asleep and profoundly awake
simultaneously like cave companions.

-- Version by Coleman Barks, with Nevit Ergin"The Glance"Viking-Penguin, 1999

One Hand Near One Hand Far Healing Technique.

One Hand Near One Hand Far is a very powerful healing technique developed by a chi kung master named Dr Zia Gang Sha. You can find more about him by clicking the tiltle of this entry and it will take you there. I posted this information a couple of years ago but I think it is time to do it again. Start by being aware of the lower dan tien. Move your awareness from lower dan tien to the laboring Palaces. If you have a place in your body that hurts or needs help place one of your hands, we will call this hand the near hand, about 4 to 7 inches away from the painful area. Point your first two fingers of that hand at the painful area. Imagine that energy is flowing from your lower dan tien to the Laboring Palace of the near hand. Then guide the chi from laboring palace out through the two pointing fingers into the area in your body being treated. This is One hand Near. Now take the other hand which we will call the far hand, and place it about 12 to 20 inches from your lower dan tien. Aim ...

Congratulations You Did It!!!

I say this to you my student/teacher/brother. You are of the Hawk and Crow People now. The Hawk and the Crow fly with you, now and forever. I salute you my brother. I salute your courage and determination. Congratulations. I celebrate and sing this song. My student/warrior/friend is out of the hospital and eating. His story can be found in my blog sections "When Pain Comes Try This." and "You Can Cower In The Corner Or You Can Stand And Fight." When he was faced with his own fear and pain and uncertainty he chose to stand and fight. When you must chose, chose to stand and fight. Remember we are never alone. Remember that and smile. He has passed one of his initiations with honor and pride. Many others are doing the same even as you read these words. Let all the warriors of the Heaven and the Earth who stand and fight with honor and determination give you courage and strength when you need it most. Remember, you are not alone and smile. A new adventure now opens to...

Swimming in The Ocean of Chi

This drawing comes from Mantak Chia's webpage: http://www.healing-tao.co.uk/ht_microcosmic_orbit.htm This drawing links to the following: http://www.naturespathcenter.com/pages/Intermclass.html The first thing to do before starting any chi kung practice is to move into a comfortable position. This can be sitting, standing, or reclining. Start to relax all your muscles from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet. Regulate your breathing so your belly goes out on the inhale and in on the exhale. Above all else smile. During a chi kung practice try to keep a smile in your heart and let it often flow to your lips. Place smiles in all three dan tiens. Remember to be very kind and patient with yourself. But also remember to stay focused. Of course you will lose focus during the exercises because your mind and emotions will tend to take you away from your intention to practice. When this happens as soon as you notice that you are thinking instead of doing th...
