5 Element Acupressure - WA

SEASON of SPRING - something to ponder on the Wood Element.

The Wood Element ensures that life never proceeds in a cycle but in an upward evolutionary spiral"'. Lonny Jarrett - Nourishing Destiny

TRANSITION FROM WATER TO WOOD
Hi Everyone we are about to enter the period of transition between the season of Winter and the Water Element to the Season of Spring and the Wood Element . the Transition starts on the 21 st July to the 8th August. Times of transition are the domain of the Earth Element. Some clients may find they are ungrounded and unfocussed at this time and the earth strengthening sequence in your Level 2 notes will assist.

Some other clients may feel difficulties in the transition between Winter to Spring, a great point is the Front Alarm point of the Kidney on the Gallbladder meridian GB25

GB25 stimulates us into action as it represents the Qi of the kidney on Wood element - the child of the water element. Combine GB25 with Liv 13( the front Alarm point for the Spleen and Earth element) to ensure the smooth passage through this time of transition.

A great 4 days of 5 Element acupressure here in Perth congratulations to everyone who participated in level one. Now the adventure begins.

Things to remember about the qualities of water.

Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does. -Margaret Atwood

THE SEASON of FIRE

As a therapist one of the presentations in clinic is the Fire Element causing people to feel flighty, frenetic, dizzy and not connected. With the continuing temperatures here in WA over 35 degrees , coinciding with high winds, (we have experienced lately and more to come,) I just wanted to remind all of the use of the Triple Heater to help balance and bring about equilibrium in the body. one of the points that I am using is TH17 which is the located below and behind the ear lobe in the depression between the jaw and the mastoid process below the ear.

TH17 is a sensitive point so light pressure is best applied to this point. it is the intersection of the gall bladder meridian (WOOD element and WIND)and the triple heater meridians so it is great for pacifying the yang qi and helping qi to descend. TH17 also assists in calming wind in the body especially around the head .

From a physical aspect it is also a point that helps us to access and calm the vagus nerve so can assist to switch the flight and fight response to the relaxation mode of the Parasympathetic nervous system.

I have been holding right and left TH17 together.

HI Everyone. Well the start of the new year and im finally back into the swing of work. Im down in Nannup right in the middle of Season of fire and fire Season. with Fires on the door steps of NAnnup in the Jalbarragup forest . Here is a picture of the sunset last night a magnificent fire sunset.

WOOD ELEMENT - Emotion -Anger

I really resonated with this post about anger. As a wood element constitution many other emotions in me trigger through anger. FOr example if I get scared I show this through anger. Anger has the ability to make us to take action when things are going awry. Anger doesn’t have to be expressed in a destructive way but like other emotions does need a place to be expressed

As we are transitioning at the moment to spring. Here are some foods from the earth element to see you through.

🌎The Earth element and the Late season (or in between season change) recommendations according to Chinese medicine.

☀🍂The 2 weeks in between Summer and Fall belong to the Earth element and since digestion is at the centre of our health, eating foods that are easily digested is best in order to protect the TCM Spleen & Stomach.

Spring is in the air so the season of the WOOD element is upon us. Time to be using the Source points of Wood combined with the source points of Earth as we transition

Anger is sometimes viewed as a severe emotion. Being wood I express through anger other emotions like fear, worry. As a child there was lots of anger in my home which lead me to become embrassed by this emotion. Only as I have grown am I more peaceful with this emotion.

Loved this post on anger to increase understanding on what might be going on for me and for my clients
