Let’s talk about “High Blood Pressure” again.

From Western Medicine point of views, they consider High Blood Pressure is due to walls of blood vessels hardening, loose its elasticity and cannot hold the blood and produces excessive pressure.

Hence attention is on the quality of the blood vessel walls with highly sophisticated instruments to examine the blood vessels, with operation if complication arise, but not the blood.

There is little explanation as how the blood vessels get hardened. Some explain by the person concerned exercises excessively or work too hard.

Ancient sages did not have today sophisticated equipment and instrument to do monitoring or checking. As such there is no such term called “High Blood Pressure” in the old texts.

But ancients sages paid a great deal of attention to the various symptoms which today Western Medicine associate with High Blood Pressure. E.g. Palpitations, chest tightness, dizziness, headache, tinnitus, sore shoulders, stroke.

How does YEIC explain High Blood Pressure?

The focus is on the quality of the blood. If the bloods contain too much unwanted things, like un-removed toxin, phlegm, some bloods solidified bits and pieces, then there is blockage to the smooth flow of the blood.

Some people have qi-deficiency, always panting, no strength to speak or move, then the weak qi is unable to drive and move the heavy blood, with more exertion to move the blood to the required region eg. brain and eyes to do thinking or reading, pressure is built up. Over time, this damage the blood vessels too.

Some old people, during younger days no High Blood Pressure, only when grow old. This is because the organs functionalities are out of balance, metabolism cannot be thorough, producing much toxin in the body and create blockages to the flow of Qi and Bloods.

People with frequent depression, blood deficiency, anemia, can easily have High Blood Pressure.

Now you can see that YEIC tells us High Blood Pressure implies many things, largely our lifestyle and how to keep organs functionalities in order, i.e. Life Cultivation 养生.

You can also see the differences in approaches towards High Blood Pressure, with Western Medicine gets patients to be on lowering high blood pressure pills for life and operation in some cases.

But ancient sages focus on making good blood quality and improve the Qi to move the blood.

Very different approach, ya?

Do you think autistic child has High Blood Pressure? You tell me.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are explained in details in the video training. “”Qi and Blood 气血”，”Life Cultivation 养生”。

Qi and Blood 气血 is particularly explained in the video “Qi (Its mystery unfolded), 5-Essential Human Life Variables”

Learning ABC before writing an Essay

It sounds obvious.

Not knowing the alphabets, how to communicate and write an essay.

Not knowing a language, how to understand the underlying message.

Sometimes, we operate without being aware of such simple logic.

I give an example.

After being given a prescription by a Western Medicine doctor for an illness, the patient quickly checks at the internet, for more information on the medicine given. The patient finds some extra information regarding the medicine, which the doctor did not mention. The patient is worried about that information. On the second day, the patient visited the doctor again to challenge him on his prescription.

The patient know the language of the medicine, though not too technical in details, but sufficient for him to know the pro and con. This is the challenges faced by the Western Medicine doctors.

If the patient visits a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) doctor. When given the prescription, the patient has hard time to understand the prescription after spending long hours with Google search. There are strange language and metaphor used. For example, the Liver is on fire. Or there is too much Evil Qi, or the Yin Yang no balance. Or Wood attacks Earth.

The patient is at a loss. He cannot challenge the TCM doctor.

This is because the patient does not know the ABC, the language of the Chinese medical treatment system.

Some health-conscious people, or have some not too serious symptoms in the body, want to learn from the ancient Chinese health system, do good deal of research and reading. These people are often puzzled by the strange language. Qi Deficiency. Yin Deficiency. Yang Excessiveness. Stomach Qi or Essence depleting.

Soon these learners give up.

Not knowing the alphabets, how to communicate and write an essay.

Not knowing a language, how to understand the underlying message.

For the above cases, my work o Video Training Courses on the Ancient Wisdom, Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic, has the purpose to provide basic ABC language to help learners to explore and understand better their performance, behaviours or health issues based on ancient wisdom.

More than providing the language, but also the knowledge how to do self Yin Yang balancing, e.g. Through food therapy, activating Qi, raising consciousness.

The next Video Training Course is on “Qi (Its mystery unfolded), Qi Blood & 5-Essential Human Life Variable” will be ready for publishing after Christmas

There are altogether 10 Video Training Course to complete the essentials of Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic.

Keep coming back to the is Blog to check the status.

Cheers

What has blood got to do with your mind, emotion and consciousness?

Not long ago we talked about a story of the famous Chinese medicine practitioner Zhang Xichun 张锡纯 during the late Qing Dynasty, with his student-patient had 4 nose bleeding in a day. With Ginger as the major herb, he illness of the child was cured.

Today we talk about “Bleeding” and “Spleen / Stomach” relationship

YEIC says, Spleen has another function, i.e. Spleen governs Blood. “脾主统血”。

Here “govern” means in control of the blood in the blood vessels, and not flow anywhere the blood likes, nor should blood flow to the nose, eyes, lungs etc. in a healthy condition.

For example, for ladies, blood from period should flow downwards, not upwards to the nose etc. Often a doctor will ask the ladies any nose bleeding problem, if the ladies present her periods as problems.

However, if the Spleen is deficient, or out of balance, then the blood will flow in an uncontrolled manner..

In Western Medicine, there is no such concept as mentioned above. As such, for bleeding problem, the solution will not be directed at treating the Spleen,

Let me pose a question, What are the functions of Blood?

Besides nourishing the body and growth, another important function is supply energy for mental and emotional activities.

Hence if there is too much mental or emotional activities, much bloods and body fluids are consumed or exhausted.

Now we see the important function of Blood. Then if the Spleen is out of balance, the bloods cannot be directed in the useful manners, but wasted.

In the case of autistic children, how do you figure out the relationship between blood and his learning capability?

Do you know how to take care of your Spleen? What diets are good for proper functioning of Spleen?

What has blood got to do with your mind, emotion and consciousness?

In Western Medicine, blood is just blood, nothing to do with your mind or consciousness. But how to explain a person with pale face, obvious blood deficiency, and that person has little spirit, energy or drive in life?

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training. “Spleen governs Blood 脾主统血”，”Mental Activities 精神”
“Words in Chinese are texts from the book YEIC, 3000 years ago.”

Why divide your body into parts to manage?

I am grateful that a Chinese WhatsApp group member shared about the learning problem faced by her child. This provides us an opportunity to learn about YEIC application.

As I mentioned earlier, this platform is not for symptoms diagnosis and treatment, but rather using the discussion to bring up the Theories and Principles of Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic (YEIC), the ancient wisdom.

And the emphasis is Total and Integrated Approach and I use case study (e.g. below) to illustrate further why it is important to understand the Whole rather than some symptoms.

Once we understand the overall concepts and theories, we can better make good observation of various symptoms in our body and link to the overall body system.

The story of the child is constructed after a series of Q&A between me and the mother.

“The daughter is now 14 yrs old. Since 4-5 years old, she has learning disability. Today she hardly knows a few words and cannot write.

She has speech deficiency, and poor expression ability. Her eyesight is OK, urination is OK. Sometimes with constipation.

At 7 years old, the child had shocking experience.

She can take care of the younger brothers.”

To understand the Total Picture, good Q&A is necessary. Today many Western Medicine doctors and TCM doctors, seldom make too much inquiry, except focusing on the symptoms and carry out treatments.

This is very much against the Principles of YEIC, “Focus should be on the person as a Whole, not symptoms.”

Why I ask about the age of the case, as different age reveals different stages of psychological and physiological development. A younger person normally has more psychological and emotional issues, whereas older persons have more physiological issues.

I ask about various performance capability, as different performances are governed by different organs functionalities. E.g. eyesight is related to Liver function, learning with memory are related to Kidneys functionalities.

What are the good performances of the child, then we can deduce what organs functions well.

Although there is no details about how the child was shocked, YEIC theory tells us that Kidney Qi is harmed due to shock or fear.

One of the Kidney functions is related to Intelligence and Learning capability. We can see the connection now that the child past shock and fear experience affects her today learning ability.

The above is just brief way to illustration the application of YEIC theories and principles in our daily life.

Many group members often ask about how to do treatments to certain symptoms or problems. You can realize that this WhatsApp discussion is limited to reveal a more complete picture for understanding. Hence it is not wise to give suggestions on treatment based on partial information.

Furthermore, as discussed in the training class, Life Cultivation to help balance the Yin and Yang in our body system is not apply a single treatment, which will not work well, But it calls for several adjustments and therapies to be carried out together.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training. “Fear harms Kidneys 恐伤肾”，”Liver, one of the function is eye performance 肝主目”，Intelligence and Memory are related to Kidneys and Bladder 肾与膀胱的心理功能在”智慧”，”记忆力”。

What are the functionalities of Kidneys?

Today we continue to discuss how the Western doctors / therapists, after studying Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic, understand more deeply the psychological aspects in the human body system.

These types of information are rarely found in the Chinese worlds of TCM literature.

Kidneys, one of the key functions, is responsible for the Excretion of by-products of metabolism namely urine, sweats. And bladder function is storage of the fluids and excretion of urine.

These were recognized by ancients sages 3000 years ago, whereas Western Science discovered such in the last 200 years.

YEIC also says : “ Kidneys store Essence, Kidneys are responsible for the formation of bones, and bones gives rise to bone marrow, which forms the brain, Kidneys has function in reproduction, growth capability.

This implies brain, intelligence, sexual performance, production of future generations are derived from the Yin-Yang interaction of Kidneys,

YEIC also notes : Kidneys and Bladder have cousin relationship. Kidneys are Yin, Bladder Yang. As per the 5-elements, Kidneys are illustrated as Water.

The Western scholars conclude : Kidneys and Bladder have capacity and capability in Past, Present and Future Consciousness.

The past can be the culture, tribes, hereditary.

Kidneys function include management of past, present, future dreams.

Early we also discussed “Kidneys Functionalities are also derived from Pre-natal. We can now see that Kidneys have vital function in our life.

Now we can use the above to explain many phenomena experienced in our life, e.g. autism.

Many autistic children problem came from Prenatal imbalance, i.e. at fetus stage, which we discussed early. The reasons can be hereditary, weak body constituents of the mother who were not healthy, shocks or trauma experienced by mother during pregnancy, which also shocked the fetus, (YEIC says “Kidneys store Fear), or sick mother consume too much Western Medicine before and during pregnancy,

All these and others affect the healthy development of fetus and baby.

Hence the learning deficiency of the autistic child, is not brain, behavioral problems or nervous system problems, but Kidneys Qi deficiency.

Sexual performance is one of the Kidneys functions. Young people with excessive masturbation habits lose a lot of Kidneys-Essence, weakened the Kidneys-functionalities, which can include weak bones, feel tired easily, not able to focus, learning dis-ability and affect the intelligence.

Forgetfulness, not able to derive past learning for today application, with fuzzy vision of the future, lack of willpower, are also another tell-tale sign of Kidney Qi-deficiency.

Can we not now appreciate deeply the wisdom of the ancient sages, sharing with us all the connectivity of phenomena we experience today, and the Western Medicine cannot give us clear, logical steps and holistic explanation?

Ancient sages also share with us Life Cultivation as ways to improve deficiencies.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training. “Kidneys store Essence 肾藏精”，”Kidneys functions responsible for Intelligence 肾主骨生髓, 脑为髓之海”, “Kidneys functions include reproduction, health growth physically and mentally 生殖，生長發育功能”，”Kidneys function has pre-natal attributes, 肾为先天之本”， “Fear harms Kidneys function 恐伤肾”，

What is inside, manifests outside.

Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic (YEIC) says, “Illnesses occurred inside our body, they sure manifest externally as signals for us to decipher”

For example :

If there are ear-related health problems, the root problem is the Kidneys-functionalities. Hence YEIC says, “Kidney functionalities, one of which manifests in ears”

If there are eyes-related health problems, the root problem is the Liver-functionalities. Hence YEIC says, “Liver functionalities, one of which manifests in eyes”

Many Western Medicine eye-specialists testify, serious eyes-diseases, many of the patients have liver-related problems, like fatty liver.

Ancient sages, through years of observation, conclude the critically importance of functionalities 5-major organs functionalities (Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lungs and Kidneys) and their paired (Small Intestines, Gallbladder, Stomach, Large Intestines and Bladders), which determine health and illnesses.

The above illustrate organs functionalities from physiological perspectives, YEIC also says, emotions, thoughts, belief system, psychology, personality also greatly affect the organs functionalities, “五神”，”情志”。

Hence if a person get angry easily or frustrated or stressed, the negativity produce extra blood pressure with increase Qi pushing the blood-flow, which is carried by Liver-function, which further result in red eyes, urine yellowish color and hearing problems.

YEIC says “Liver stores Anger”, excessive anger harms liver, which is related to eyes.

Then you may ask, earlier you mentioned liver related to eyes, what about hearing problems?

YEIC says, : “One of the Kidney-functionalities manifests at ears, i.e. hearing”

And there is a Relationship between Liver and Kidneys (which Western Medicine does not know).

This is as per 5-element theory, Liver is Wood, Kidneys Water. The relationship is Water nourishes Wood. Liver representation is Wood, and Liver is harmed by negative emotions, produces heat that “burn” the eyes red.

Then the Water from the Kidneys cannot cool down the excessive heat in the Liver. And Kidney functions are affected, one of which is hearing problem.

Do you find it fascinating that ancients sages able to put in logics of various phenomena, in a relationship interaction and not like Western Medicine who will order you to see Eye-specialists and Ear-Specialist, and non of the specialist addresses your fundamental problems, i.e. your stress and emotions.

Autistic child’s tantrum

Many autistic children throw tantrum, temperamental, and some with violent behaviors, do you also see more clearly now that it is the Liver-functionalities out of order?

Early we also discuss, YEIC has the principle of “treat the person, not the sickness or behaviors”. Hence two autistic children with tantrum issues, one could be Liver function problem, another Kidney functions which is associated with fear that he experiences.

Life Cultivation requires the knowledge of the ancient theories so that one can make careful observation of our body, mind and emotions to constantly do adjustment and balancing.

Hence Life Cultivation can only be executed by own-self, not doctors.

YEIC says, “Illnesses occurred inside our body, they sure manifest externally as signals for us to decipher”

Can you feel the wisdom on the above statement?

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training. “Kidneys manifest at Ears 肾开竅于耳”，”Liver manifests at eyes 肝开竅于目”，”5 Consciousness and 5 emotions 五神”，”情志”，”Liver stores Anger 肝主怒”，”Kidneys stores Fear 恐伤肾”，”5-element theory 五行学说”，”，。。。。

Avoidance Strategy for Autistic Child for life?

I am glad one of the Chinese WhatsApp group members provided the following discussion.

With discussion, sharing of experiences etc. we can learn more. It is better than just posting articles, videos from other sources without first own assessment or application and experience and share the same.

The group member introduced “Gluten Free Diet” topic for discussion.

Western Medicine research find Gluten diet is related to certain illnesses. According to Wikipedia, it says there is no 100% evidence that Gluten is related to autism.

Again, I wish to clarify, I am not against Western Medicine.

It is after much research and own application of Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic (YEIC), it becomes clear to me the pro and con of Western Medicine, due to big contrasting theories. And I wish to share the differences for readers to make their own evaluation and judgment.

Back to the discussion on Gluten Free Diet, with such belief, parents put a lot of constraints on autistic child to avoid Gluten diet.

Is Avoidance strategy the best strategy for life?

Shouldn’t the focus be on improve the functionalities of Spleen and Stomach so that the child can enjoy a wider selection of foods?

Western Medicine uses term like Gastrointestinal problem. YEIC simply says “Spleen and Stomach out of balance”.

Let’s us understand the thought pattern of the ancient sages.

Spleen and Stomach are closely related to each other. We also discussed earlier, they are like cousin brother relationship.

Spleen is Yin, Stomach is Yang, a model used to indicate relationship.

Yin-Yang needs to be in good balance, so that consumed foods can be “digested” and “transformed” into nutrients for the body, absorbed by the Small Intestines, with waste product sent to Large Intestine for expulsion.

YEIC has the same theory like 200 years Western Science more than 3000 years ago.

YEIC says, “Spleen is a vital organs with functionality to transform foods into nutrients / energy or Qi-blood, for any living person. : “脾为后天之本”。

Western Medicine does not see the importance of Spleen function.

How do we help the autistic child to be able to enjoy wide selection of foods, including Gluten-diets?

We have to start strengthening the functionalities of Spleen.

YEIC also says : “Spleen, one of the functions, is Thinking”. This is the beauty of ancient integrated system, physiology and minds and emotions are related to each other.

We also notice many autistic children have learning difficulties. This implies weak Spleen functions.

They also have digestion problems.

We also notice many aged people cannot consume too much foods, and learning capability is much slow-ed and impaired, again it is due to Spleen weakening.

We also can easily notice, healthy adult with too much thinking and worries, have no appetite for foods.

Now you see the wisdom of ancients sages, through careful observation, they can derive relationship between Spleen / Stomach with digestion, thinking, learning ability.

With such theory, we only need to focus on how to improve the Spleen, and YEIC in the Life Cultivation, provides us many methods to execute daily.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training . “Spleen & Stomach cousin relationship 相表里”，”Yin-Yang 阴阳”，”Spleen function is a critical function for all 脾为后天之本”，”Spleen has function in thinking 脾主思”，。。。。

Blueprint for Life

This is another useful concept from “Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic” YEIC. It provides a broad category of illnesses.

“先天不足，后天不足”

For any type of illnesses, there is one category belongs to deficiencies occurred at pre-natal, and another category post-natal.

We will use some examples to illustrate such concept.

Pre-natal Deficiency

For most autistic children, after birth or a few years later, parents notice something unusual as compared with normal healthy child development, for example strange behaviors or learning difficulty. Mostly these cases are grouped under “Pre-natal Deficiency”, which also include during fetus stage.

It is like today science called hereditary or DNA problems, or inherently weak body constituents of the mother giving rise to unhealthy baby. 体质失调问题。

Post-natal Deficiency

A grown up person with rather good health, but over years develop into illness : cancers, Parkinson, diabetes etc. .. These are grouped as “Post-natal Deficiency”.

Some may have combination of both Pre-natal and Post-natal Deficiencies.

Post-natal deficiency mostly arise from the person ignorant of Life Cultivation, lack of knowledge of how illnesses come about and engage in activities which do harm to the body.

Life Cultivation is a big subject, which we will discuss later over time.

Irrespective of Pre or Post Natal deficiencies, YEIC broadly explains them as “Yin-Yang imbalance”. In theory, when one can balance the Yin Yang, autistic child can develop healthily, cancers, Parkinson patients can be healed.

Yin-Yang Theory

Yin-Yang Concept is interesting “阴阳学说” but it is rather abstract.

Just a small example

Body organs are classified into Yin and Yang.

E.g. Heart = Yin, Small Intestine = Yang

And Heart & Small Intestines work in pair, closely related to each other like cousin-brothers. We had this relationship discussion earlier.

And Yin-organs and Yang-organs each have their unique functionalities.

Heart = Yin, Yin is defined as condensed matter,

Small Intestine = Yang. Yang is defined as loose, hollow, constantly in motion, which is the case of small intestine, which continuously absorb fresh nutrients from digested foods and discharge to the large intestines the impure portions of the digested foods.

And the YEIC main proposition is that :

*When all the key 5 organs functionalities are in good order and balanced, we have healthy body and mind*.

Are you not impressed with the ancient sages, 3000 years ago, coming out with simple concepts to guide healing and Life Cultivation, and provide a Blueprint for life.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training . “Pre n Post Natal Deficiency 先天不足，后天不足”，”Life Cultivation 养生”，”Yin-Yang Theory 阴阳学说”，”Body Constituents 体质” , “Organs Functionalities 脏腑功能”，
