| I regard the flow of Qi as the most important subject. |
Qi (Chi) is vital energy that flows all over
the living body.
Qi is like leaping warm vapor.
I've touched
it directly only a couple of
times, though.
For the diagnosis of acupuncture treatment
I try to arrange the information from both
Western and traditional Chinese Medicine.
In the midst of the shower of
thought, it
is too difficult to be conscious
clearly
the message from the unconscious.
By the five senses and the sixth
sense, plus
some skills such as the Finger
Test, I try
to catch the flow of Qi at a
constant level.
Acupuncture is of Chinese origin. More than
1500 years, it has been developed in a different
way.
My treatment is based on Japanese acupuncture
in actual period. |

| Simple résumé about traditional
Chinese Medicine |
Qi runs through the meridian routes and circulates
around the body fifty times a day.
Qi is interchangeable between
persons.
The principal meridians are 14, divided two
types called yin and yang.
The yin and yang are contrary,
such as female
and male, dark and light, soft
and hard.
Everything has both sides, whose proportion
is changing every moment.
Qi flows from yin to yang, and
from yang
to yin.
Everything, including the meridians, is categorized
five elements; wood, fire, earth, metal and
water.
Each feeling, such as anger,
joy, thought,
sorrow and fear, also belongs
to one of five
elements.
Based on the traditional Chinese Medicine,
the most important theme is how to keep the
balance of every element.
Acupuncture regulates the balance of power. |

| If the flow of Qi is stagnant... |
All current things are fresh and clean when
they flow smooth.
If something obstructs the flow of water,
the flow becomes stagnant.
The stagnant water makes the flow get slower,
and it gets dirty and dirty. It is a vicious
circle.
What do you do when you need fresh air?
You may open the window as the
entrance.
And then, if you open the window
as the exit,
the wind will be much faster.
You can say the same thing for the flow of
Qi.
It is like a chimney, exhaust,
drain, etc.
They must be cleaned up to use
better.
Qi brings the fresh blood and improves a
power of natural healing.
Acupuncture sweeps the meridian routs to
call the fresh energy. |

|
| What does the stagnancy do? |
Overtiredness and depression make the energy
of Qi down, then the power of
natural healing
will down.
Stiff muscles, chill and coldness cause the
stagnancy.
If you throw away a pebble in a stream, leaves
and trashes are caught next to next.
The small mound grows bigger
and bigger,
and comes to obstruct the flow.
When you are out of condition, the body have
partial imbalance of the shortage and excess.
Then, the sickness is easy to enter the body.
Partial excess occurs around
and above the
mound. Partial shortage occurs
below the
stream.
Especially, people, who have autonomic imbalance,
tend to lose the balance of nervous system
easily.
Panic syndrome is an extreme case.
Acupuncture teaches the body how to regular
the imbalance. |

| Arts of traditional medicine |
Acupuncture needles and moxa are traditional
instruments.
I use also some tools such as, golden grains,
silver grains, magnets, and kinetic taping.
It is alike to Archimedes's principle.
They
work as a lever to move the flow.
First, I do meridian treatment
to regulate
generally by the thinnest Japanese
needles.
Next, I try to draw the tension by a little
thicker needles.
I use also the Chinese needles
or electric
needles as the case may be.
Moxa is very excellent item that can lead
to two absolutely contrary effects.
Moxibustion not only warms the
affected part
but also cools freely, on condition
you have
mastered the skill handed down
from the old
century.
Finally, I use my own hands, too.
The skill is combined in my way
with anma,
shiatsu, and sports massage.
So I can give you the treatment at a constant
level.
Moreover, the encounter of you and me is
also the very important concept, I think. |

| Might be flying in the air! |
When you are in bad condition, you feel heavy.
The sickness appeals to you without
an interval.
After you cured, you won't remember even
you have a body.
You will get freedom and live
as you want.
It is said the mind rules the
body, but the
body also has great influence
on the mind.
The more your body gets lighter, the more
your mind gets lighter.
Then you should be able to survive easily.
Acupuncture can arrange the body. That is
the first step.
Let's try to arrange the internal
balance,
such as thoughts, senses, feelings,
emotion
and acts.
And, let's try to arrange the
external balance
that is the relationship with
other people,
with your circumstances, and
with nature.
I believe, if you will change, your environment
will change.
Actually it needs very long time. But, if
you practice, you will get a lot of future. |
