Energywork
Sometimes when I am giving an acupressure treatment, I feel the person's energy move. Then, I experience emotions that are not my own. For example, extreme grief in a person with a headache. When I feel the transfer of the emotion and energy, the person's headache goes away. This often leaves me feeling weak for several minutes or hours. What is going on?

universe while you are treating someone rather than allowing it to flow into you. Although your are physically in contact with your patient, there is space between your hands and the patient's body at a more atomic level and that is where you want that energy to exit the patient/ practitioner ecosystem. I hope this wasn't too new age for you but I think this may be more of the type of response that you were seeking. Good Luck! Wade De Loe, M.S., L.Ac. www.gentlepuncture.com

There is one more clarification I would like to make after going over your reply again - you pulled out this quote: "...some of the phenomena exists, but it is not worthy of strong terminology" Here you assumed I was speaking of your description of your personal experiences as if I thought you were going over the top or being hypersensitive - this is not the case at all. What I meant is that there are volumes of texts (both modern and classical) discussing phenomena such as this with elaborate theories and, personally, I think most of it of little value for practical purposes and is more often than not counter-productive. Talking about these detailed theories is a labryinth which I, personally, don't like people to enter into so I avoid using the theories (what I phrase strong terminology) - perhaps definitive would have been a better choice of words.

If you focus on your own qi development and control (i.e. practice Tai Chi) you will be fine with or without complex theories explaining energetic fields and the like. You have, as Wade points out, some natural gifts and this should be fostered. What I don't want to see is these natural gifts taken down a path where you are fearful of working on patients, particularly if you move into working with patients with serious illnesses such as Cancer, etc.

Also, training is very important as you are finding out. You mention in your description that you q "know" where the points are energetically and move energy from the main point of blockage q (basically). Well, while it appears to be somewhat effective, the theory is about using the points q to allow the body to remove the blockage (generally), moving energy through an area. With a better understanding of the points and channels you may learn that you don't need to touch the Who's online most active spot energetically, but rather use points on either side of the area, or even distal from the area to create the same or even greater effect without being effected by working directly on the blocked area. This is where a greater understanding of the underlying theories of There are currently 3 users Chinese Medicine is important. and 185 guests online. __________________ Chad J. Dupuis, L.Ac.

I see what you mean about helping the person redirect proper flow of their own qi, rather than allowing it to disseminate through me (one way or another). I also do not like having access to someone else's emotional turmoil. It feels as if I am invading their privacy in the same was as inadvertantly overhearing a private conversation. Thank you both, very much!

I offer a thought that praying for the individual as you work with them might not be another potential solution to your problem. Of course there is the need to recognize within oneself where one's ego gets in the way to be the healer and not "offer" the energy to a Collective Unconscious as is said in the Tong Ren system of Healing. (I think that may be another vocabulary word for Creative Energy, a Power greater than yourself, God. etc. ) I have found that working with people involves a continous self discipline of the heart, mind and body.
