The Body's Compass

Our bodies reflect our mental and emotional anatomy. When we can no longer discharge our stressors, problems arise. It can take decades to form a diagnosis.

Today we dive into the controversially "forgotten" sixth element of the five elements. Or at the very least the element that tends to be tacked on to the FIRE element, but correlates more coherently to its own element of HEAVEN with a deep interplay with EARTH. From an organ perspective we are talking about the TRIPLE BURNER or San Jiao and PERICARDIUM or heart protector. It is the only element where by its yang organ is only energetic and does not actually correlate to physical flesh. However, as we explain today, we believe it powerfully corresponds to our hormonal system, as they both work to influence and coordinate harmony within the body and are something we cannot live without! Prepare to open your hearts and minds as we break it all down.

The home of the self! From digesting food to thoughts, and emotions to perceptions, this part of the body reacts to serious events that upset you for life. From childhood and deep into adulthood. These organs absorb the most severe shocks before the brain can react. What does that look like?

Matt and Nuala are in the emotional flow of the five elements. The next stage are the kidneys. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Kidney is the powerhouse of the body, supplying reserve energy to any organ running low on energy or Qi. We hold emotions in the fascia surrounding organs. Fear is the emotion associated with the Kidney. With severe panic attacks and fear, your body may be trying to tell you that Kidney energy is deficient or is imbalanced. This exploration of psychosomatic and/or viscerosomatic reactions often show up as seemingly unrelated symptoms.

Today starts a discussion on the emotional flow of the five elements. Each element corresponds with different organs, emotions, biological functions and energetic channels. What is the importance of the Lung to health? The Lung’s major functions include maintaining healthy immune defences against pathogens, as well as circulating energy and fluids throughout the body. The body retains memories. In stressful situations, this can set off a psychosomatic and/or viscerosomatic reaction; the human body is the seat of a permanent "emotion-organ-bahviour-organ" cycle.

What we deem "important" can guide us towards what we want or what we don't want. The word itself means "to bring or carry in". There's some little tricks and spells at play in our culture so how do we know what's really important?! Do we want what we want because it's uniquely important to us or is our energy being spent because that's what we've been told to spent it on...

Eastern philosophies say all life starts in darkness. In western psychology, the shadow represents the parts of ourselves we don't like. As these universal energies rise up, what does that mean for you? Where does it all start? Does that mean we should be afraid of the dark?

Sometimes you have to find what you don't want to realise what you do want. The Wizard speaks about what would've been his eighth un 'wedding' anniversary. He reflects upon what it took him to realise that he was headed down a path that was what everyone else wanted but, wasn't really serving his purpose.

Keep It Rolling - Part 2 has us figuring out how we're actually rolling in life, keep the momentum rolling and focus your attention on things you actually want.
