Emotional correction, energies and meridians II

referring to the post:

For example, depression in straight terms is:

--- excess of Dryness

--- lack of Heat

thus one expects to sedate excess Dryness and tone up insufficient Heat to regain balance.

In reality this may be much more complex.

1. Lack of Heat may be caused by too much spending of Heat energy - joy, because of excessive partying and similar.

If there's too serious lack of Heat energy, there will not enough energy to work on it and toning up Heat will fail. In such case, one needs to do special "collecting" of Heat on "local" Heat meridian to the level this energy can participate in general healing of depression.

But this is more about severe clinical depression seemingly not a case for playing tennis pro.

2. Energy Circulation sequence gives another links between energies and emotions:

 Wind-->Heat--->Burn--->Dampness--->Dryness---Cold

Lack of Heat may be caused by two neighbouring energies:

--- lack of Wind, which can't give enough energy to Heat in a sequence

--- too strong Burn - "happiness" which may be seeking for pleasures to exceed the reasonable limits

Lack of Wind is usually disturbance involving anxiety-anger, so the clue to treat depression may be in very different area.

3. It is possible one can experience excess of both "polar" emotions related to Dryness and Heat

at the same time: constant low-mood or too low self-rating = Dryness accompanied by constant impatience and "uncooperative" joy which can make shots inaccurate etc.

4. More, as general stability of everything including emotions is controlled by main energy of Dampness, this is also to be taken into account.

The above was to demonstrate the situation may really be as complex as player may feel
and "my problems are too complicаted to solve" are by no means to be viewed as "freaky".


In acupuncture:

every emotion has it's basic energy---> energies are attributed to meridians---> meridians contain points for every energy to correct

which gives acu recipes to correct whatever complex situation is
--- if the recipe was composed right
--- if not expect any situation can be solved in 3 days (though this also happens).
