Course Overview
Energy Medicine explores many strategies for healing ourselves, including acupressure with the hands, feet or whole body, needles, tuning forks, off the body protocols like Reiki or Therapeutic Touch. In the Five Element Paradigm on the Five Element Chart, Earth is the "mother " of Metal, and Fire, controls Metal. A balanced Metal element represents qualities like precision, discipline and refinement. Self reliant and resilient Metal individuals prefer to handle their problems alone and are excellent problem solvers capable of decisive action. They are also intelligent, business oriented and good at organization and stability. Their intellectual sharpness and self disciple can enable them to achieve great success.
Metal people can also appreciate and enjoy luxury, like diamonds, have great inner strength; like the historical alchemists who changed lead into gold, eg: Albert Einstein.
And let's not forget smell and the nose, the sensory organ of metal and dog's strongest sense! Dogs can detect human emotions like fear, stress and happiness by smelling changes in hormone levels in their breath and sweat with their noses.
To bring to balance: Do deep breathing, eat foods that moisten the lungs, like pears and honey, be outside with nature, incorporate activities that allow you to feel creative and take your mind away from being restrictive. Cupping helps to boost the immune system and keep lungs functioning properly. Acupressure helps joints and flexibility.
