Treatment of emotions

According to Van Nghi.

How do you treat a pathological emotion? Do you tonify or disperse it?

Emotions are related to each other as the five elements. You can use their controlling and producing relationships to control it. For example: how do you confront fear (water)? Using logic, rational thought (earth). And sadness (metal)? With joy (fire).

The most difficult thing is to discern, to correctly diagnose the emotion that is causing the problem, sometimes they disguise themselves as others. As soon as you are clear about which one you want to treat, you can use this procedure. Putting as an example that we want to treat fear. Fear is water, kidney. The procedure will be:

1. Master the emotion. Grandfather point of the channel itself. (KI-3, earth controls water).
2. Control the child so it does not waste the mother. In the child channel, you needle its grandfather point. (Wood is the child of water. Metal controls wood. LR-4 is the metal point of the wood channel).
3. Control the controller. Grandfather point of the grandfather. (SP-1 is the wood point of the earth channel).
4. Shu Yuan point and Mu point. (KI-3 + GB-25).
5. Back Shu point and soul point. (BL-23 + BL-52).
6. Zhi gathering point: on the Du Mai line, between D7 and D8.
