Human intent as it affects health

Discussing how intent affects health definitely falls into the realm of speculation. I do believe it is possible that everything that happens to us in terms of health is directly tied to our intent. As some level it is possible that we may even choose when we pass away and how we pass away. However, these choices that we are making that are tied to our intent are mostly happening at such a subconscious level that is difficult to connect the dots and trace why things are happening the way they are. Because improving our health is often tied to our excitement, connecting our intent to what excites us is a great way to surface into our awareness how our intent is tied to our health. There is also a powerful connection between intention and gratitude. Being grateful for what is healthy about us is another way of experiencing the connection between intent and health.

What conclusions can you draw from Kirlian photography

The conclusions I am able to draw from Kirlian photography pertain to the fact

many life forms also have light bodies that emanate frequencies from the 

electromagnetic spectrum. These captured light bodies speak to the fact that we 

do have auras. These auras seems to be very valuable expressions of what is 

happening within our physical body. Therefore Kirlian photography can be quite

 useful as a diagnostic tool that provides a different angle of understanding of our

 physical, mental and emotional states. Suffice it to say, color counts when it 

comes to health or the lack thereof.

Acupuncture As Effective Energy Medicine

Acupuncture is an effective energy medicine because it works with the subtle energies of the body. Since acupuncture recognizes that our body has multiple energetic layers the practitioner can choose how deep or how superficially they want to treat someone. There is a recognition within acupuncture and TCM in general that one's body may be experiencing a disturbance due to energetic blockages. These blockages may not even exist in the physical body per say - for they may even be rooted in one's aura for example. However, by needling certain points in the body, an energetic blockage existing outside the physical body may even become unraveled.

The Biophysics-TCM Relationship

Biology and physics interface in many different ways on Planet Earth. Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the human disciplines where this interface happens very often and often to our benefit.

The 5 Element Theory of TCM is the primary biophysical interface to consider. (1) Water (2) Wood (3) Fire (4) Earth (5) Metal are the primary generators of physical life on this planet. These elements are the source of the healing subtle energies that make people so interested in TCM. This interest strongly derives from the fact that people are realizing that their bodies are electromagnetic in nature.

The article "Biophysical Characteristics of Meridians and Acupoints: A Systematic Review" does a great job speaking about the physics that are tied to the meridian and acupoint systems.  Research has shown that these systems exhibit dielectric properties, sound transmission, light waves, tonality, oscillatory properties and thermal characteristics. This is one of the reasons why the discipline of electroacupuncture has emerged. The tools of technology have found TCM to be a viable companion.

Additional biophysical-TCM phenomena worth mentioning as it relates to technology is the use of electrodes when discovering the special sensitivities of acupoints. Electrodes have emerged as a very helpful technology for getting biophysical feedback and making sense of it.

I know I am a "living system" because . . .

I know I am a "living system" first and foremost because I have a

consciousness. My consciousness gives me the power to practice

discernment and discernment helps me stay alive. Most living systems

are mobile and my own mobility helps to affirm that I am alive. Life and

light go hand and hand and my attraction to light also affirms that I am

alive. Living systems are also quite responsive to sound and my

relationship to sound also affirms that I am alive. Living systems are

notorious for producing waste and my body's need to produce waste

also affirms my living attributes. Lastly, the way I metabolize energy

and produce heat in the process is also a major expression of a living

system quality on this planet.
