Giving Thanks: The Art of Receiving Life’s Blessings

Human emotions are expressed in countless ways and with varying intensities and frequencies, and, in traditional Chinese medicine, are concentrated on the Fire element, the dwelling place of the Heart and one of the five elements of our Nature.

We must meditate on the fact that human emotions have their roots in the Wood element, mother of the Fire element, and dwelling place of the Ethereal Soul that connects the Heart with our Nature, with the Nature of all human beings and sentient beings.

The energies of Life originating from the Water element, mother of the Wood element, nourish our Ethereal Soul, and this nourishes our Heart with emotions.

When our Ethereal Soul is lost in the sufferings of Life, in the traumas and karmas that afflict us along the Path, negative energies are generated and proliferated in the Fire element, absorbing vital portions of Life energies, and can cause numerous illnesses, both due to an excess and imbalance of Yin or Yang energies in the Fire element and due to a deficiency of these same energies in the other four elements.

Positive energies and emotions do not cause any imbalance or harm to health and do not demand vital energies; quite the contrary, they invigorate the energies of Life by aggregating energies from Mother Nature, human Nature, and all of Nature around us, whenever truly loved by our Heart. With them, our Heart is illuminated and overflows with positive energies and emotions, making us donors of vital energy, originating and radiating from a full balance of the energies of the five elements, which together govern the health of body and mind.

Therefore, the long journey to reconnect with Nature, where we are sometimes patients and sometimes therapists to one another, is the best treatment for many of the diseases of modern times. Modern medicine catalogs each disease based on a growing and endless grouping of symptoms, leaving the identification and understanding of the causes and, consequently, the cure of diseases relegated to a secondary plane, or simply forgotten, and increasingly incomprehensible to medical science.

Medicine must strive to reconcile Nature and science perfectly, not allowing them to distance themselves or conflict, since we are, by our creation and, above all, human beings, with an ethereal soul, connected, sensitive, and dependent on all Life around us.

Enjoy the interview with Dr. Monica Vermani, a clinical psychologist and mental health advocate, for insights on the art of giving thanks.

When Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) gained recognition in the West, the Qi energy channels began to be consolidated with names of organs of the human body and then associated with the various body systems connected to them, which ultimately guide, regulate and establish the health standards of the practice and procedures of the multiple specialties of modern Western medicine (MWM).

Thus, the organs and bodily systems found a parallel in the practice and diagnosis of TCM, and vice versa. TCM became more accepted and recognized as more scientific evidence it demonstrated, given the effective results of treatments recommended by MWM. Then, TCM became more of a complementary medicine than an alternative one. And even less complementary, the closer it is to treating the mind and Soul.

However, in TCM, the body, mind, and soul are considered a single, indivisible whole and must therefore be treated holistically. The cause and effect of imbalance patterns and disease are deeply interrelated with the balance and health of the energy channels that move in the circadian cycle of the five elements of nature. According to TCM, the mind is inserted into the Fire element, along with the energy channels of the "Heart"/"Small Intestine." On the other hand, the ethereal soul and the corporeal soul are inserted into the Wood and Metal elements, respectively, and the Liver/Gallbladder and Lung/Large Intestine organs. All these energy channels and the organs associated with them in Western cultures can therefore suffer and become ill due to disturbances of the mind (conscious emotional imbalances) and the soul (unconscious karma and trauma).

Thus, the energy channels permeate the body, mind, and soul and are amenable to treatment when Nature in its entirety is once again free to perform the miracle of physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Living an emotionally healthy spirituality combined with a natural and balanced diet is the most effective natural path to treating illnesses of the body, mind, or soul. Most Traditional Oriental Medicine, like TCM, Shiatsu, Ayurveda and Macrobiotic can substantially help patients to recover their natural state of health.

This excessive emphasis on a handful of organs and systems is typical of the scientific compartmentalization, the division of the whole into increasingly several smaller parts, leading to the subconscious belief that these organs and systems are, in fact, the rulers of the body and brain and must be adequately treated to restore our health. In the view of MWM, the clinical diagnosis must be reached first and foremost and then be categorized by the veritable compendia that dynamically standardizes the countless cataloged diseases of the body and "mind" (brain).

But additionally "TJ Hinrichs observes that people in modern Western societies divide healing practices into biomedicine for the body, psychology for the mind, and religion for the spirit, but these distinctions are inadequate to describe medical concepts among Chinese historically and to a considerable degree today." These 3 huge "specialty fields/branches" creates and sediments divisiveness among body, mind and soul and among a bundle of experts on these fields/branches leaving the patient wandering around them by themselves expecting that maybe one of them could isolated from all others operate the miracle of the cure or at least alleviate unbearable symptoms through medical interventions and medication.
