The Yin-Yang of True Health

Chinese medicine is a system of interrelationships. When we speak about quantum healing, what we’re talking about is interrelationship and connection. This means connection at all levels between all things. Your organs and their meridians (invisible energy pathways in the body) create an interconnected and intercommunicating system with all the structures and other systems in your body. Your body, mind and spirit are linked. You are part of nature and completely connected to it. Actually, Chinese medicine sees the body as a microcosm reflecting the macrocosm. So changes in nature are reflected in your body, and believe it or not, we impact nature. Modern discoveries in physics have shown us that everything is connected to everything else; nothing exists in isolation. One thing is relative to another. Chinese medicine has worked with health issues for thousands of years with connection and relationship as guiding principles.

Energy, or Qi, is what makes this miracle of connection and intercommunication work. Again, in the last century, science has demonstrated what Chinese medicine has used as a major healing principle for millennia: when you break physical matter down to its most essential form, it’s nothing; it’s invisible energy! True, energy is power, but this, too, is only one side of the whole picture. Energy also has intelligence and function. It has the ability to transmit a message that informs and guides all things to achieve balance and maintain harmony. You can say that the force or power of Qi needs intelligence aspect to give it direction—throughout all of nature and the universe and within your body, mind and spirit.

Chinese medicine believes every event and health issue has a purpose. If you can see the purpose through the illness, then you don’t need it anymore, and you can skip over it and go on to the next challenge. So, once you understand the purpose of your health issue, you can jump from that level to the next one. If you don’t understand the purpose, then it will repeat itself in some form.

So when dealing with this kind of problem you have written and asked about, you have to look at it in a deep way. Some health problems reappear many times or even appear to be untreatable. This does not mean that they cannot be fixed, but just that the timing is not right. You might need to meet the right person, at the right time, in the right place. Or maybe during this time, instead of focusing on the condition itself, you may need to focus on how to change your body in a deep way, how to change not just small things but your whole life.
