HE Gingembre pour l'année du Tigre

L'année du Tigre d'avoir commencé,
le froid et la neige est de retour.

Pour aider ses 2 courrants à s'harmoniser, je conseils à vous la huile essentielle de Gingembre.
La racine est bien connu dans la cuisine asiatique des ces vertues digestif.
On trouvera pareil pour la huile essentielle.
Constipation, méteorisme, nausée sont tous des indications pour en prendre (sauf pour les femmes enceintes).
De plus elle porte du soulagement au douleurs dentaires, rhumatisme, diarrhée et bronchite.

Pour vous conseiller cette huile à ce moment, je me concentre sur l'interprétation des ses composants biochimique dans l'espace de la médecine traditionnelle chinoise.

Elle contient si bien l'énergie du Métal ( d' où le Tigre appartient) que le Feu (contrôleur du Métal).
Le premier pour la protection de nous, stimuler notre système immunitaire, et le dernier pour vous "réchauffer" (pour ça elle est aussi connu comme aphrodisiaque pour les hommes).

En prenant 1 goutte sur un morceaux de sucre, cuillère à café du miel ou d'une huile végétale, 3 fois par jour pour 3 jours. (5 jours si vous souffrez d'une constipation légère).

A+

I can't dance..

"I can't dance, I can't talk.
The only thing about me is the way I walk."
(lyrics from Phil Collins' song)

During my practice of do-in / qigong (for example
the 7 Qigong of Prof. LEUNG KOK YUEN )
I had been amazed to consciously observe my way of walking, moving my legs, or just placing my feet.
How many good or bad habits I had accumulated over the years.
Am I already a step a-head and thus tried to put all my weight already on one leg although its foot hadn't been placed yet.
Do I stomp with my heels, or rather walk cat-like on my toes, thus neither taking advantage of the flexible "roll-on" feature of my feet?
Engaging my calves fully when doing so?
(the calves are one place where unnecessary stress energy might get accumulated thus stiffen them >> using them appropriately will massage them internally and thus free them).

Give it a try once in a while, just to see & feel what difference it makes.

Happy walking.

Welcoming Spring

Is it getting warm already?
Here I'd better say it's becoming less cold.

Nonetheless according to the traditional Chinese medicine, Spring energy is preparing itself slowly & silently to finally mount to it's climax at spring equinox.

Spring energy. That let the buts of a plant pop up. Have a stem dig through concrete. Mantles the world in green.
And helps us putting ideas into deeds, projects, realizing dreams.
What a power.

To welcome it, to make the transition from calm cold winter season easier, there's an easy remedy:
Start your morning with 1 tablespoon of any vegetable oil (so often olive oil is the preference) with JUST 1 drop of the essential oil of Lemon in it.
Give it 10min space to flourish inside, and have your regular breakfast. Once a day for 7 days is a good timing.

Welcome back spring!

Professionalism in CAM: Psychology

The art in CAM is not knowing.
It is to make the other understand.

To put yourself in the other's shoes (tx @ankenn) AND to lever your "language" to the world of the other. Speaking frank is easier than speaking understandable.

A basic understanding of psychology will thus be necessary. Thus it needs to be included as early on in any class that claims to be a professional health formation.

Just too often I see it included in courses to teach people how to sell better their product. A way of manipulating the other to your ends.
This is not what it is about!
It is not about applying 7 habits, understanding any number of personality types in order to become richer, more famous, more loved.
It is to do your job as good as you can be.
And in the health sector, this means making the other understand that s/he can act, can change.
Whether to become healthy again, maintain her/his dignity while ill, stay in form, prevent imbalances.
Offering choices and giving back the other the will & responsability to choose.

This will make a significant difference between doing a health profession and being a health professional.

Professionalism in CAM: education

To further my previous blog,
Professionalism in CAM : Image
in order to adapt to the current established system here in the West, professionalism should start in the education of any CAM discipline.
Certainly through the quality and standards in the technique itself.
In order to fit here in the established society in the West, for the practitioner to stay level with his clients and collegues and to enable a flow of communication, a basic understanding of anatomical and medical terms needs to be included in the education of a CAM practitioner.
Thus "extra-disciplinary" subjects like anatomy and physio-pathology need to be rather "inter-disciplinary". Approached and implemented from the disciplinary side, well understood. No need to make it a 2 year training.

CAM carries the term complimentary. Hence in order to be such, touching frontiers between various fields needs to be there. A puzzle works only if the pieces have borders in common. Being a practitioner of a complimentary medicine includes the capability to put the pieces of the puzzle together. A basic knowledge of the biochemistry inside the human body and mind is part of it.
No matter whether we approach the well-being of our client from an Ayurvedic, TCM, or other way: it shall always manifest inside his body & mind, influencing his hormonal / emotional balance as much as flesh & bones.

No, this does not mean to adhere to the same principles.
Yet this allows to communicate in a common language.

All this to build on what makes CAM powerful : the capability to synthesize from a multi-point of view to reach a large picture of the patient without neglectig details. Trying rather to include than to exclude.

Survival of the fittest, not the strongest. Who adapts best, not forces most. From a multilevel perspective.

Tricks of the Mind

or the ego cannot fail

Having giving in recently into numerous "trick or treat" threads, I am blogging here about a different one: the big voice within.
Let's call it iEgo

Always present it is giving advise, reason, padding our shoulders, unnamed, unasked for.
Impressively clever, cunning, smooth or tough, it carries yet a major flaw:
by design it is giving only egoistical advise & counsel. It is not concerned about the other.
Whether the other is the guy/gal in the car in front, our partner, a group or even the environement doesn't strike any difference to iEgo.
All the same: different from me!
No chance for win-win situations. The other always looses.

Wait a minute: that can't be. No one always wins.
Yes, iEgo does.

At least that's what it wants us to make believe.
Why?
Because by it's very nature, it may not do one thing: admit to have made a mistake.
And believe me, it will do ANYTHING to make you believe that the obvious mistake is actually none. That there is a very good reason why this is much better this way, and not the other. That this little scratch in our heart is not really hurting. The lost blood not so important. It ALWAYS finds a reason.
Even if it has to lie!

Not a good counselor really, is it?
