Please explain more about qi.
 
      
  One of the oldest Chinese medical classics, the Su Wen, discusses this important concept of qi. The Yellow Emperor asked, "I heard all diseases are created by qi. [With] anger the qi rises; [with] joy the qi becomes loose or moderate; [with] grief the qi disappears, [with] fear the qi descends; [with] cold the qi shrinks; [with] heat the qi leaks; [with] fright the qi is disordered. [With] tiredness, the qi wilts; [with] thinking the qi knots [becomes stagnant]. These nine qi are not the same. What causes these diseases?" (3)  
     
 
How does qi effect our health?
 
      
 

The even flow of qi is very important in the promotion and maintenance of health and wellbeing. If a meridian is "blocked" from disease or injury, the entire body can be effected. A meridian is like a river. If for some reason there is an obstruction at the riversŐ source, or if a beaver builds a small dam on the river, the natural flow of water down river will be effected. The river could stagnate, overflow the banks, or even dry out.

Likewise, if you have developed an emotional or other physical health concern, the natural flow of energy may be blocked and subsequently effect the entire human system. By properly stimulating select acupuncture or acupressure points (ONE POINTS), the natural flow of energy will be restored and healing will follow. ONE POINTS are known to be effective in the treatment of health concerns and in the enhancement of the immune system. The application of acupuncture and acupressure has been successfully practiced for centuries in many countries and is well documented in the literature.

 
     
 
Can the everyday person use One Points
to enhance their health?
 
      
  Each of us can learn basic strategies to bring new energetic resources into our daily life and can assist us in preventing many types of disease while creating an enhanced wellbeing. Sharing this useful information is the core of the ONE MODEL© workshops that I teach.
