Traditional Chinese Medicine, like Yoga, recognizes that emotions and physical health are intimately connected and mental and physical well-being are intricately entwined.
In TCM the emotions have a specific connections to particular organs: Existential type of fear can damage the kidney; Anger, frustration, resentment can injure the liver; Grief and sadness can harm the lungs; Worry and overthinking can afflict the spleen; Joy (although positive), when in excess may wound the heart. Each of these means of describing and interpreting the information leads to a deeper insight into the nature of the organism and its unique modus operandi.
Understanding the interplay of each of the five organ-emotion pairings is key to unlocking the healing potential of TCM. Health and illness coexist and arise out of the same condition because, diseases don’t come out of nowhere; they emerge from a lived life with a strong connection to the original blue-prints that emotions created at the cellular level. Cultivating people’s capacities of recognizing and correcting whatever underlying disturbances are causing their distress is part of the core of this transformational workshop. In order to achieve this, it’s useful to investigate how a disorder arises so the process can be disassembled and reorganized, not merely masked.
TCM, Yoga and Herbal Medicine are productive components of an integrative health approach, which many people find them to be beneficial to mental emotional and physical well-being
