Week Six - "good" vibrations, resonance, and energy & qi

Something that really struck me in class was when Larry mentioned that are physical selfs are highly condensed energy. This concept immediately made me think of out connection to our entire selves being entirely made out of Qi. From Qi we can break down and look a the smaller and smaller parts of us, but as a whole - we are Qi.

As physical beings made up of energy and qi, it is easy as a practitioner to then visualize how one needle penetrating a person's skin can make a huge difference. That needle is creating a wave effect (can we even call it a vibration?) throughout the entire body. As a practitioner, I can feel the vibration of the qi, I can feel the qi, I feel the energy moving. Even better, practitioners are able to move the energy with the needle as well as with their own energy.  We are the conductors of qi in hopes to regain a sense of symmetry in our bodies and regain a harmonic balance.

This can also be seen in the reverse. With one pathogenic factor penetrating past the wei qi, our bodies are hit with not so "good" vibrations, causing disharmony and imbalance.

As stated in our handout, when building a bridge we have to build smarter, not stronger. We have to figure out the frequencies in order to stop the bridge from breaking down when another resonance meets its same frequency.

As with humans, we have to nurture and heal our bodies smarter. Its not always about the strongest medication, but the consistency and knowledge we have in order to achieve a healthy life.
