How Your Body Communicates with Practitioners

Many of us are familiar with the term, "body language."  It refers to our energy levels and how those levels are transmitted to others without the need for us to say a word.  A good example of this is the feeling we get when we enter a room filled with people or even just one person.  We can sense the type of interaction among others without ever having to hear a word.

Interestingly enough, our bodies have a signature dialogue, also.  We are basically energy-producing machines.  That energy not only comes from our nervous system, but also from the nucleus of each cell in our bodies.  The Chinese mapped out this energy in the entire body over 5,000 years ago; it's called, "meridians."  Most of us are familiar with acupuncture meridian therapy, but there's more to it than that.

When a body's energy is unbalanced, this imbalance affects not only the localized meridian, but also affects the reflex areas to which that meridian is associated.  This is called, "a visceral/somatic reflex," when an organ and its associated part of the body is affected.  For example, we had a patient who came to us with a tooth problem in which she was trying to figure out whether to have a root canal done on a tooth with a dead root or just have it pulled.  The decision was hers about the tooth, but what she didn't know was that that particular tooth (somatic area) dysfunction was directly related to a particular organ (the visceral area).  The decay of the tooth (absent poor dental hygiene) was now related to the dysfunction of the organ or, in her case, organs.  That is the case with each tooth...there is a related organ to which it is directly associated.

The difference between western and eastern medicine is that we, in the West, have been conditioned to think about our health (or lack of same) only when we feel symptoms.  The eastern medicine mindset is to keep the body in a state of well being or wellness.  That is done through keeping the function of the body in balance.  The best way to assess this is through a practitioner who understands how the body functions, as a whole. 

When you wait until you feel pain to get therapy, your body is already in a state of serious dysfunction...up to 75% dysfunction.  Getting rid of the pain/symptoms/infection/etc.  does not re-balance and normalize function.  It also does not address the nutritional imbalances that exist.  Unless the patient with the tooth problem is willing to allow the practitioner to listen to the body and offer correct nutritional support, it is highly likely that the associated tooth on the other side of the jaw will undergo decay, too.

One of my favorite sayings is, "The body is very chatty; one just needs to know how to listen."  Listening is a skill that just might save one's life.
