Silence of the mind and body

When you want to stab the acupuncture needle, first you sit silently.
Next,please calm your thoughts and worldly thoughts.
You can be integrated with the conscious and mind.
You do not need words from your mouth.
You just hold one's breath.
Then,your posture is so dignified when you seem like face to face with God or Buddha.
The awe of everything.

Silence within you come.
Then come to full "Qi"power.
Your mind is not disturbed in the around information.
Stays in your conscious mind has never lost.
Though,it is like a diver to dive in the dark sea.

In such conditions, you should stab the acupuncture needle.

You must have acupuncture carefully .
It is like a hold the Tiger's Tail .
You have to touch the body carefully.
It is like walking on a frozen lake.

When you stab needle is pulling the huge rock in thin thread.
Or,Catch a a huge fish thin thread.

Such caution is required.

So when you are face to face with the patient,You always have to correctly posture.
It  is position of the hands or feet and Spine.
You can focus on your body and mind.

This is an important point of the Japanese acupuncture.

Infertility

Many people may suffer from infertility.
Sometimes I give advice about it.

Infertity has many causes.

Oriental medicine think poor circulation.
Moxibustion can improve blood circulation.
As a result, it causes the autonomic nervous system and improves hormonal balance.

I think acupuncture is like plowing a field.
There are poor land, rough land, desert, wetlands, and variety.
Remove the weeds and cultivating the land, , then become rich field.
It is steady work.

The important thing is Spleen pancress line and kidny line and liver line.

Forexample...SP6,SP10,KI6,CV4,CV12,GV4,BL48.

Moxibution' s point is this picture.
"chujyo ryu no kyu"
1: Measure the length of the wide mouth.
2: Make an equilateral triangle with its length.
3: Starting from the navel and to make a triangle.
4:The left and right of the bottom two moxibution's points.

This is "Chu jyo ryu no kyu(moxibution of Chujyo style)"and the method for infertility.

Then looks for a reaction point of the sacrum.
Please refer to this picture it.
Measure the length of the patient's hand.
Next it fits at the sacrum.

1: a-b →A-B
2:c-d→A-D(you can check D point)
3: Measure the width of the thumb  to the left and right  from point B and D.(you can check G,H,E,F)

To guide it.
Most important things is Feeling of finger.

I hope that the lovely baby is born  in the world,.

TB(Tuberculosis) and moxibustion

I read "North American Journal of Oriental Medicine Nomber 52".
It is really interesting.
I think, Many japanese and japanese acupuncturist is not know about acupuncture treatment and research has been around the world.

In this NAJOM, I have interested in one report.
It's written by Jenny Craig and Merlin Young.
They are organizing Moxafrica.
http://www.moxafrica.org/
I was impressed with their research on TB and moxa.

There was a famous docter in Japan.
Name is Shimetaro Hara(1882-1991).

He has the Moxibustion on rabbits infected with tuberculosis.
Then found out that the resistance increases.
 
I remember this story.
I'm feeling the effects of moxibustion therapy.
 
Promote healing by thermal stimulation.
Improved blood flow.
and,there are anti-radical effect by Moxa essential oil components.
 
I am not a researcher.
However, I can help or teach you.
If you want to study "Moxa treatment", please contact me.
I can go to anywhere .
