What is Aging Process?


There are interesting observation and conversation with friends on the above subject matter, “What is Aging Process?”

Surely this subject matter is of concern to those past middle age, especially those retire from work.

At the same time, most admit that they cannot go into deeper discussion as they have very vague ideas what aging process is all about?

As a concept, we all know that we cannot stay young and strong forever.

But without knowing the aging process, it is difficult to ensure gradual and graceful aging. We do not know what to expect? How not to get into serious illnesses?
Western Medicine does not provide much clues on the above, except general advice : good diet, good sleep, reasonable exercise, be happy.

And that is what most people do.

Those retired have the opinion that enjoy life to the fullness NOW, be happy, go travelling. The underlying assumption is Now everything is OK, enjoy. Later, …..don’t know, until some symptoms show up. Pray that no major illnesses.

Others still have a lot of ambitions with worthy cause. Some want to do charity to help people. This is another assumption that he or she currently is fit and healthy, hence can contribute much.

Later, when and how is he or she no longer fit, age faster, with weakening body functioning ……, that need others to do charity to him or her? i.e. To take care of him or her?

Isn’t is nice to know exactly what is the aging process, then we can become more conscious how to take step to ensure gradual and graceful aging?

In my 1st published video training on “Philosophy, Yin & Yang Theory, And Application” I shared, as per ancient wisdom, Aging Process is diminishing of Yin and Yang.

If that is the proposition, then we need to understand the basic concept of Yin and Yang, and how Yin and Yang are operating constantly in our life and take action based on that understanding.

Is Aging process only the concern of the middle age people?

Once we understand the ancient wisdom, we realize that we should implement the Life Cultivation in balancing Yin and Yang for babies and young children so that they have a better foundation to ensure gradual and graceful aging process.

You are welcome to learn from the following video training, what is Yin and Yang.

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.

Spread Ancient Wisdom to the Whole World

Ancient Wisdom Today Well Being

In promoting 3000 years Chinese ancient wisdom, Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic, 黄帝内经, which addresses all the major aspects of our life : Performance, Health, Illnesses, Emotions, Psychology, Consciousness, Physiology, I have been conducting training classes and doing one to one coaching to clients with all sorts of issues.

Last month a friend introduced an internet platform Udemy, whereby they have 24 millions students / learners eager to learn something in life, I get very excited with the potential reaching out to the whole world.

I plan to design the ancient wisdom in video training course, module by module.

Just a few days ago, my first video training course was approved. That provides great encouragement to me.

I found some great advantages using video training course. For example, to explain the fundamental concept of Yin Yang, how is the concept used to observe and understand the world and various phenomena, how Yin Yang changes taking place in our body, mind and emotions, how Yin Yang balance comes about to achieve harmony, …. I realize that if I do the explanation in the classroom, I may spent less than 10 min. as there are many other topics to cover in the 1-2 training days.

But in the case of video training, I have the luxury to spend more than 1 hour to bring the abstract concept of Yin Yang to deriving principles and application, and explain in details “What is Qi”? for 1.5 hours

I am now designing the 3rd module.

It is real great fun and inspiring.

You are welcome to listen and watch a few free preview video and study the video course objectives and program outlines.

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”。
“Words in Chinese are texts from the book YEIC, 3000 years ago.”

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”,”,。。。。

Facing Old Age

There is this video about adult son hitting the old parents in China. It is very distasteful, as values of respecting old people, what more parents, are considered vital important.

I have another reflection watching the video.

I had a coaching case of an old lady, whose adult son’s patience has been stretched by her to a limit. The old lady for the last year or so, became very temperamental, scolding the in-laws and the maid and accusing the son for stealing her money, and wanted her to die soon.

The old mother has pain here and there, discomfort every day which she complains non-stop. The son and family try their very best to accommodate her, bring her to clinic and hospitals.

But nothing improves. And the son wonders it is because of her psychological issues and calls me for help.

I also come across some adult children, with such difficult case, lost their patience and hit the old parents, which they regret greatly later.

Psychological Issue or Physiological Issue

After my coaching session with the old mother, I explained to the family it is not psychological issues but her body organs system deteriorate badly, with lots of imbalances, and these affect the mood and behaviors.

This is similar to autistic child’s behavioral problems arising from physiological imbalances or called Yin-Yang imbalance.

This is the key principle of YEIC : psychology and physiology affecting each other.

Both the old mother and the adult children do not know YEIC Life Cultivation 养生 principles, meaning if the old lady knows YEIC, and if she practices Life Cultivation before her old age, her body internal system, though may deteriorate, but in a more balanced manner. (In my previous articles, I mentioned how emotions affect organs, like Anger affects Liver, Fear affects Kidneys), ..

And the children do not know YEIC and they hope doctors can help the mother, but doctors can’t. Because Western Medicine never considers psychology and emotion as part of the body organs systems.

Some people, without Life Cultivation, when come to old age, they may not manifest in behavioral problems, but illnesses like diabetes, Parkinson, cancers etc.

I suggest to the adult children and in-law to learn YEIC so as to apply Life Cultivation for their mother. One cannot depend on medicine and doctors (Western Medicine or TCM) forever. But, like most people, the children expect me to give a magical pill or solution, without them having to learn new things with application.

This is a common mindset of people. “Too busy with life, if sick, see doctors”. This is very different from YEIC, which stress the importance on Life Cultivation to prevent sickness.

It is difficult for me to convince them, nor do I want to convince them, but only explain to them. Obviously the adult children do not think what may happen to them when they grow old. Most people assume, today my health is quite Ok, I should be ok in the future. Is that so?

I see the adult children and in-law still busy sending the old grumbling mother from clinic to TCM doctors to hospitals.

It is pitiful people get caught in vicious circle without any breakthrough.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training. “5 Consciousness and 5 Organs 五神对应五脏” “Emotions and Organs 情志”,”Life Cultivation 养生”,”Functionalities of Organs 脏腑功能”
“Words in Chinese are texts from the book YEIC, 3000 years ago.”

Small Intestines and Behaviors

Windmill

Today we talk about the functionalities of Small Intestines.

One of the keys functions of Small Intestines is Separating Pure and Impure of digested foods. This needs the process of Separation, Absorption,Transformation.

The Pure gets absorbed as nutrients for the body growth and various activities. The impure to be sent to the Large Intestines to be discharged.

Writer Leon Hammer, M.D. of “Dragon Rises, Red Bird Flies (Psychology & Chinese Medicine)” is a psychologist and studies deeply Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic, which gives him the knowledge and theory to link psychology and physiology.

He has a patient case who has severe heart problem. He also found out that since young the patient lived a very disorganized and very un-systematic life. She is not able to sort out things, or emotions or relationship issues , as a result that greatly affect her life, her marriage, her career, and many other difficulty in life, one of which is the severe heart problem.

YEIC says “Heart and Small Intestine” like cousin-brother are closely relate to each other. When one is weakened, it affects the other. (心与小肠相表里)

The above case nicely demonstrates such relationship. Heart problem, also Small Intestines problems, not able to separate / sort digested foods, things and emotions.

Many of the Westerners, especially psychologists, particularly attract to learn YEIC because they find that YEIC is the world only integrated model linking psychology with physiology, which should Not  be separated for treatment.

In comparison, many Eastern Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors do not examine the psychological aspects of the patients. Hence the healing is often incomplete.

As a result, Westerners prefer Chinese Medicine more than Easterners.

When we study YEIC deeper, we can have more enlarged and objective views regarding illnesses, performance issues, personal or at work in the organization. And we can take effective actions.

Interestingly, many corporations and organization invest greatly in Leadership, Teambuilding programs, ignoring the facts that physiology, the members’ body organs functionalities are key contributing factors too.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training  .“Organs cousin relationship 相表里”, “Organs Functionalities 脏腑功能”,”Pure 清气”,”Impure 浊气”,”5 emotions 五情”,”5 Consciousness 五神”,。。。

Many different treatments without compelling theory!

During my 2-day Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic (YEIC ancient wisdom) training, I asked the participants : “Observe carefully, what are the similarities in behaviors between autistic children and some old people with health problems?”

With such focused question, after a while, participants pointed out the following similarities.

They have 5-senses deficiencies, learning difficulties, hands and limbs not flexible, slow and not alert, fixed behaviors, repeated behaviors, stubborn, throw tantrum, temperamental …..

The parents with autistic children suddenly brightened their eyes, and began to wonder : “Why similar behavioral pattern problems having different therapies? Why I have to spend so much time, energy and money on Occupational Therapy, Sensory Integration, Speech Therapy, for my autistic child, whereas the older people with similar behavioral problems do not need to? Is there really a coherent theory to explain phenomena and with which to execute therapy?”

This is indeed the current challenges of 200 years old Western Medicine, which does not have an integrated and holistic theoretical framework governing life and human body system, but so many fragmented and piecemeal theories and application, with no linkages with each other.

3000 years ago, what does YEIC theory says?

“Kidneys system is Prenatal foundation.” (same as today concept like genes, DNA). And “Kidneys Store these Essence” (The essence of life)

These notions or theories explain the behavioral patterns of autistic children and unhealthy older people.

“Kidneys system is Prenatal foundation.” “Kidneys Store these Essence”, upon birth, healthy baby inherits the genes and DNA from healthy parents, called Essence “精”. When subsequent life span with good Life Cultivation practice, one can live till designed life span of 120 years old.

Most autistic children do not have such quality Essence, which in our previous discussion, called “Prenatal deficiency”. Hence Kidneys-Qi is deficient. Kidney Qi governs one’s intelligence (learning ability). Weak Kidney Qi further weaken other organs like Liver (with tantrum, as Liver Stores Anger), etc etc.

For a normal health person, over time, when he excessively uses his energy, emotions, activities, .. the Kidney Essence gets depleted very fast. And these result in many people even before older age, have learning difficulties, forgetfulness, bones weakened (all these are attribute of Kidneys Qi or energy), which later affect other organs like Liver ( with anger and stubbornness, etc.)

With such a theory in hand, we can then focus our attention to do healing to the Kidney Qi / Essense to both autistic children and older people.

Isn’t it important to have a logical and compelling Theory to act upon to get meaningful and effective application in therapy and treatment?

If we operate on the wrong theory e.g. “Anything heavier than air cannot fly” then we can never able to invent and build airplane.

So Lady and Gentleman, what theory do you use to operate on to manage your health, whether it is autism, cancers, Parkinson?

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the video training courses.

“Kidney-qi lays the life foundation upon birth 肾为先天之本” “Kidneys Store Essence 肾藏精” , “Pre n Post Natal Deficiency 先天不足,后天不足”,”Life Cultivation 养生”,”Organs Functionalities 脏腑功能”,

“Words in Chinese are texts from the book YEIC, 3000 years ago.”

Is Medicine the only answer?

In our Chinese WhatsApp YEIC discussion group, when the discussion is on various types of symptoms or sickness, some members often ask ; “Teacher, what medicine should I take?”

This is a general mindset : “Not feeling well or sick, one must take medicine.”

Today we discuss further such concept, “sickness, not well, behavioral problems, …what medicine or therapy should be applied?”

Let us spell out from our head the various questions we often have : “Should one take medicine because of sickness? Should I take medicine for life? In what situation medicine does not really help? ….”

Not long ago, I was watching a video from China, about a famous TCM doctor sharing his experience on “望闻问切” i.e. by “examining the patient, listening to his voice, make some important inquiry, and feeling the patient’s pulse, the TCM doctor is able to determine the sickness of a patient.

A lady from the audience was invited for demonstration, After a few seconds, the lady was surprised the doctors able to tell her often occurred discomfort and sickness, and she quickly asked “Doctor, what medicine should I take?”.

The doctor replied, “I am not teaching you to take medicine. But I will teach you about your diet, and how to function well as a human being”.

As per YEIC, this is considered a first class doctor, who “treats a person, not his sickness . Treat parts that are well.” 上医不治已病,治未病”, “治人不治病”。

But in some cases, surely medicine is needed. How to know the difference?

First, we need to understand the purpose of medicine as per YEIC. If you say it is to cure sickness, then Western Medicine is also to cure sickness. What is the difference?

The ancient sage considers the key purpose of medicine is to help to restore your basic body organs functionalities, e.g. if you have severe asthma, you hardly can breathe, a TCM doctor may use a strong herb to get the Qi-to move, thus restore breathing.

Let me repeat, in YEIC, the purpose of medicine (herbs) is to restore body organs functionalities, 五脏六腑功能。

This concept is very different from Western Medicine, which if there is headache, pain killer is used. If cancers, use medicine to kill the cancer cells, including the healthy cells.

We have heard ancient stories in China, e.g. a poor farmer has a sick child since birth, with severe and constant sickness, many doctors are not able to cure him, and the farmer begs a Sifu in the mountain to take care of the son. The son helps the Sifu clean his residence, follow the Sifu Qi-gong, and follow the Sifu’s simple diet.

Years later, the son gets well and strong, with good performance in Qi-gong, much to the pride and delight of the Sifu. This is an example of “Life Cultivation” (养生), without taking medicine.

The same principle applied. Whether taking medicine (herb) or Life Cultivation, i.e. the Tao of Living, for a long term, restore the body organs functionalities. When body organs functionalities, e.g. heart, lung, liver, kidney spleen, are functioning well, one will not get sick anymore.

Ancient miraculous healer, Sun Simiao, 孙思邈,says : “As a doctor, he must first consider using diet to heal the patient, If diet does not work, consider medicine (herbs)”.

Diet and Herb can restore body organs functionalities “药食同源”. This is what we discuss in details in the 2-day YEIC training.

Especially for autistic child, Parkinson sufferer, or who are in long term sickness, instead on totally dependent only on current medication, Life Cultivation, the Tao of Living is recommended.

In our WhatsApp group, a member due to a fall ten years ago, today suffers much discomfort and pain, after many attempts to try with many doctors, therapists, medicine, … do not help, he is still looking for a pill to cure him. Perhaps he should consider Life Cultivation, the Tao of Living. 养生*,又 *养心 了。

If your today health is reasonable. Life Cultivation helps you to prevent major sickness.

This discussion involves a few key concepts which are elaborated in the online training .

“Life Cultivaqtion, 养生,养心”,Diet and Medicne same functions “药食同源”, Organs Functionalites “五脏六腑功能”,
