For musicians - arthritis 2

Arthritis is harmful energy of Cold in bones - Cold,  so it's good to treat Kidneys
and Bladder:



There can be moxibition, application of anticancer remedy etc.

The finger for everyone may be the finger of Cold,
the ring finger right hand.










Zones on the phalanges:



Treatment described earlier

For musicians - arthritis

Arthritis brings a lot of suffering and is especially devastating for musicians depriving
them of their profession.
What official medicine can offer shows very mixed results and usually some (to
substantial) loss of function or ability to play remains even after years of treatment.
In Su-jok arthritis is quite "simple" disease which is caused by harmful energy of
Cold (the same origin for kidney stones, heart attack, cancer).
Suffering joints belong to bone system which is governed also by Cold energy
and Kidneys/Bladder among inner organs, which, on the other hand, makes it
very persistent and tend to reside deep as energy of the System and disease are 
the same.
The scheme in energies:

Cold (bones system)--->Burn (Hands): Cold sedate, Wind, Burn tone up, Light, Darkness control


Practical ready-to-use schemes for hand arthritis illustrating work in Nails system:
 Scheme1:




1 - Cold-->Burn
2 - Cold sedate
3 - Wind tone up
4 - Burn tone up
5 - Light control
6 - Darkness control

Points are going around nails touching flesh from outside, size 2-3 mm, at 45* to each other
in 8 Qi system.
This gives easy to use schemes even for non-spacialists and in addition it is probably the
fastest-working scheme in Su-jok with prominent harmonizing effect.
The sequence of points and what each does is  at right of the image;
--- point 1 is transitional directing healing energy to hands
--- points 2,3,4, are healiing arthritis by sedating Cold, tone up Burn (the opposite energy)
and also Wind in this scheme, giving starting impulse to healing among other issues.

The scheme on ring finger left hand may be in Triorigin energies which is easier (and safer) to do:



In Triorigin, all Hetero energies
--- Wind, Heat and Burn 
get one representative point - Hetero, at left

All Gomo energies i.e
Dampness Dryness, Cold
get a Gomo point, at right


So to sedate Cold and tone up Burn/Wind one needs to 
sedate Gomo and tone up Hetero, Neitro (Light) control

Hetero is marked by red colour, Gomo is blue so in the image both Triorigin points are marked in red
which tones up Hetero (native colour) and sedates Gomo (opposite colour)
Marking 2 points blue means sedate Hetero, tone up Gomo. 
Green point in this scheme is Neitro controlling point


So practical treatment is: 
--- going from point to point and from finger to finger in sequence by numbers.
Very essential to not confuse fingers/points as then the scheme will not work!

--- marking the points in colours shown on the by a colur pen for example:
for  8 Qi scheme: Wind is green, Burn is blue. Marking both Cold and Burn in blue sedates Cold (opposite colour) and tones up Burn (native colour), Wind as green gets tone up.
One may alternatively use Triorigin points for the ring finger left hand, other points/fingers and sequence
of work is the same.
--- massage for the points by something like round tip of pencil. Usually one finds several points
sensitive to very painful so more massage to them


--- taping natural crystals of the same colours - green, red, blue etc. They may be carried for 0.5 to several hours, up to 24 hours a day. However one needs to treat crystals in salted water 1 teaspoon for a glass, for 24 hours so it's reasonable to have 2 sets of crystals for non-stop treatment.

It's good to massage the points right by the crystals taped onto.

--- acu by needles and moxibition

Acupuncture for arthritis is rather safe compared to cancer treatment and can be shown 
in details.

In Su-jok sedation/tone up by needles or moxibition is done by needles or moxas direction onto
the point, which makes energy flow in a meridian slow down or speed up.
For the scheme 1:




The image for point 1 - needle or moxa is perpendicular
onto the point.
The same is for points  5 and 6









The points on ring finger, colour dots - view
from side.

For Triorigin variant, the direction for needles/moxas
for red points will be the same as for points 3 and 4 on this image. For green point it will be perpendicular as for
point 6






For non-specialists moxibition is relatively easy to do; it is among the strongest action in acupuncture and
easy to dose compared to needles, by emitting IR waves- heat it is especially effective against
diseases of Cold.
So the general guidance for moxibition:
--- there are special moxa cigars sold in Su-jok or Chinese medicine shops
On the other hand, one may use insence sticks which can be more comfortable to treat points
in Nails system because having smaller diameter.
---  cigar/insence stick is hold at 1-2.5 cm from the point to give comfortable heat flow.
--- it is hold at angle specified for the points: perpendicular or at 30-40* like on the image.
--- treatment is usually 0.5 - 2 min for each point. Specialists can dose the treatment for each
point.
--- general giudance is warm, pleasant feeling at the point, if it has shown pain by pressing on it,
the pain usually subsides.

There can be more effective schemeconsidering joints are Neitro (or Light) "organs" so the treatment
may be directed further:

Cold--->Burn--->Light: Cold sedate, Wind, Burn tone up, Light, Darkness control


There is middle finger left hand added, the rest is the same.
Treatment is the same and one may also use Triorigin scheme but here for for middle finger left hand, the sequence of numbers will differ a little:
--- points 1,2 - the same
--- left red point on middle firnger will be 3, right one - 4, green point - 5
--- last point on thumb will be 6

For musicians - fingers problems 2

Generally, tendons and ligaments are governed by energy of Wind and relate to
the state of Liver and Gall bladder.
So one will benefit from treating the Liver+Gall Bladder zones on fingers
(Standard Insect Scheme):



















Besides, there is mapping for Liver and Gall Bladder on fingers phalanges:


This scheme is more comfortable to find sensitive/painful points
which will ALWAYS form there in case of any tendons/ligaments 
disorder, as organs get mapped all around the phalanges in contrast
with the previous 2-dimentional projections.





For musicians - fingers problems

Chronic fingers problems can bring a lot of troubles for example for piano or violin players
and there's been not one case a well-known musician had to terminate his career in music
because of traditionally used methods like surgery or physio have shown no much
effect.
Su-jok acupuncture can target every region on the palm or fingers and focus the healing power
in very narrow place which raises chances to help even in most complex or "hopeless"
cases.
The below is also a good demonstration of the use of so-called Space Energy mapping where
every part of the body gets it's own energy characteristics from it's position in space.

Hands are mapped in Space energies as Burn:


Forearm are Heat energy, Shoulders are Wind


















Fingers on the hand get their own energies:
--- thumb - Burn/Heat
--- index - Wind
--- middle - Dampness
--- ring - Dryness
--- little - Cold













Every finger has mapping of energies in sectors:
--- Cold sector - the "strip" at the centre of inner side of a finger
--- Burn sector  - right at 180* on the outer side
--- Wind, Heat, Dampness and Dryness sectors go around
clockwise if look from top of finger

So everything which falls into a particular sector gets an energy
path to it in a sequence of energies.












For example, a tendinitis of an index finger located like it is
marked on the image.

The path to the area focusing the healing power at the same time
will be:
Wind (body tendons/ligaments)--->Burn (hand)---> Wind (index finger)---> Dryness (location on the  finger)---> acu recipe for tendinitis in energies

For tendinitis on the ring finger the scheme will be:
Wind (body tendons/ligaments)--->Burn---> Dryness--->Wind--->energies to work on








Tendinitis is generally described in pathological energies of Heat (inflammation), Dryness
(restriction in movements, pain if sharp, twisting) and Cold (pain if constant, functional losses)

This matches the Crossing Constitution of Heat, Dryness and Cold excess in a Constitutions
classification:

The main energy links explain why trying to correct inflammation
or pain through Heat-Dryness will not succeed as both energies are in excess in this constitution.

The axis of symmetry gives real pairs of energies in excess-lacking to sedate-tone up:
--- Wind-Heat
--- Cold-Burn
--- Dryness- Dampness





The energy to start with depends on the leading  symptome.
Suppose it's pain i.e energy of Cold. Then one has 2 paths to the opposite energies in this constitution i.e
--- the opposite energy of Burn via the main energy axis
--- the supplementary path to the closest lacking energy of Wind.
One may start by sedation of Cold - tone up Burn. However in some cases better to start with a mildest scheme (for example if pain at the very beginning of the treatment becomes too strong) i.e sedation of Cold - tone up of Wind. This will give a comfortable intro into a process and get other energies activated to healing, then add treatment for the main energy pairs.
The full schemes (in 8 Qi):

Wind (body tendons/ligaments)--->Burn (hand)---> Wind (index finger)---> Dryness (location on the finger): Cold sedate, Wind tone up, Light control
Alternatively, for intro/harmonising one may start from sedation of Dryness and 
tone up Dampness.
Then, based on the resultes obtained :
Wind --->Burn--->Wind--->Dryness--->: Cold, sedate, Wind, Burn tone up, Light ctrl
For the chronic case, energy of Dryness i.e stiffness is usually more pronounced than Heat 
(inflammation) so next may be sedation of Dryness:
Wind--->Burn--->Wind--->Dryness--->: Cold, Dryness sedate, Wind, Burn tone up, Light ctrl
Full teratment by all 6 energies:
Wind--->Burn--->Wind--->Dryness--->: Cold, Heat, Dryness sedate, Wind, Burn, Dampness tone up, Light ctrl

This scheme in points in Spiral System (8 Qi): 




There are only points 1,2,3 and 9, 10 fixed
as,  it was said that points choice and sequence for the tendinitis treatment may vary on the case.












The scheme is on right palm - chronic case.

Emotional healing on vocal cords zones

Healing on emotional level, thus as a rule very efficient for singers, can be performed
on vocal cords zones via the general scheme.


Using links between emotions and local energies on the image, one can find the necessary zone
to treat a particular emotional disorder.




For example:
--- anxiety - Dampness zone
--- sadness, frustration Dryness zone
 ---fear - Cold zone

The zones have the same mapping for 6 Qi and Triorigin point.







From the practice, there are another zones also involved, like has been described earlier for general
emotional healing, which are "polar", for example:
--- Dryness zone + Heat zone for sadness/frustration/depression
--- Cold + Burn for fear

The active Gomo-point may be more active on Gomo-energy zone like Cold, and
the Hetero-point more active on "polar" zone i.e. Burn.

Then, one may have a pair of zones like Dryness-Heat more active on the same vocal fold or
Dryness more active on the left fold and Heat on the right.

There can also be different mapping for zones:



Here the zones are distributed on both
vocal folds and get bigger which makes
treatment by points easier.














Overall, emotional correction via vocal cords shows prominent and quick effect also for non-singers
and seems a good option for everyone.

Emotions and organs, emotional energies healing

Traditional Chinese acupuncture and Su-jok offer links between emotions and
energies:

Liver+gall bladder - anger(negative emotion)/kindness (positive emotion)
Heart +small intestine - hatred/love
Spleen/pancreas + stomach - anxiety (tranquility, comfort)
Lungs + colon- grief, depression (courage, nobleness)
Kidneys + bladder - fear (tenderness, rest, vigilance)

In braskets there are emotions/state of mind not stated in Su-jok and added from Chinese Chi-kung
by master Mantak Chia.

In Su-jok there can be 2 major approaches and sources to work on emotions energies:
1."Gomo" approach, related to organs, described above
2.Approach via meridians

Burn - satisfaction, happiness
Heat - joy
Wind - anger (kindness)
Dampness - anxiety (tranquility, comfort)
Dryness - grief, depression (courage, nobleness)
Cold - fear (tenderness, rest, vigilance)

There can be any meridians systems to use; there's been linking of emotions to Neitro energy
so preferable are the Neitro-meridians systems: Spiral, Joints, and especially the Nails system
("Neitro in Neitro" for Fingers Spiral System).

The already discussed Universal Joints System:




1. Cold:  kidneys

2. Dryness: lungs.
3. Dampness: spleen
4. Wind: liver
5. Heat: heart
6. Burn: brain
7 - Light, 8 - Darkness - controlling energies









8 Qi points for all meridians, cross-section of joints, VIEW FROM TOP!






Triorigin points, cross-section of joints, VIEW FROM TOP!





Mapping for Yang - Hetero organs on left hand; meridians and points is exactly
mirror-like.



1. Cold: bladder
2. Dryness: colon
3. Dampness: stomach
4. Wind: gall bladder
5. Heat: small intestine
6. Burn: spinal column

7 - Light, 8 - Darkness - controlling energies








General idea is right hand for chronic cases and left for acute cases.

The Nails system  has the same meridian for the pair of Gomo-Hetero organs and may be
easier to use for non-professionals.
Points are on flesh around nails touching nails from outside, 2-3 mm in size:


Energies on fingers of left hand:
--- Little finger - Wind - anger/kindness
--- Ring finger - Burn - fear/tenderness
--- Index finger - Heat - joy/hatred

--- Middle finger - Light - control for 
above energies
Thumbs - general control





Energies on fingers of right hand:
--- Little finger -Dampness
--- Ring finger -Cold
--- Index finger -Dryness

--- Middle finger - Darkness - control for 
above energies
 Thumbs - general control








 Triorigin points,left hand







 Triorigin points, right hand








Emotional healing is rather subtle and sophisticated and it's hard to give a list-to-follow  
of recipes for non-specialists, however general treatment is quite easy:

1 - massage of a zone or meridian related to the energy to treat
2. applying aroma oils or remedies on organs zones.
3. moxibition - heating by moxa cigar or even incense stick going around the meridian
or heating the whole nail surface on the finger, moxa perpendicular to nails surface.
For stronger and better balanced effect the same for pair of "polar" meridians/nails
--- for anxiety - Dampness energy - location on little finger
of right hand: heating both nails on little fimngers
--- anger - Wind energy - little finger left hand - the same pair of little fingers nails.
--- depression, frustration, sadness - heating both index fingers nails
--- fear - heating both ring fingers nails.

Massage of organs in order:  
Kidneys--->Liver---> Heart--->Spleen+pancreas--->Lungs

("The Creative Cycle") was described earlier to strengthen the whole body energy system.  

Due to the link between emotions and energies the massage of organs in that order can also balance emotions in general.

There is version of this massage in Chi-kung when one starts with Lungs:
Lungs--->Kidneys--->Liver---> Heart--->Spleen+pancreas
this may work better as lungs/colon represent will-power/resolution/protection on mental level and thus give an impulse to change.




Sinuses region

State of sinuses is important not only for singers as sinus disorders are
fairly common and bring a at least lot of inconvenience (and sometims lead to serious and even life-threatening conditions like brain infections).













There is general mapping of face on a finger in Su-jok acupuncture:  


                                                        


Sinus region is mapped the same as on the upper image and can be treated by any of discussed Su-jok treatment, moxibustion and anticancer remedy
for any type of infections for example.

This will also improve this region as a resonator.










One may also treat the whole region in a local system:


The points are mapped in 8 Qi system,
as usual there is also Triorigin mapping
at right.


In fact, the region is realted to 6-th chakra 
of Burn in the system of boyl-chakras so treatment
can be done on it.
