In TICM, we do not view our body organs as pieces of meat that can be taken out. Our organs work as a small village in harmony with each other. When one gets sick, it has a knock-on affect on the others. Organs are loving organisms that have feelings, and each have their own spirit, colour, flavour, emotions, so on and so forth. Tell your organs how much you love and appreciate them every day.
Sometimes no matter what you do it may feel like your condition is not improving. Instead of looking outside yourself for the answers, it may be time to look within. Our beliefs and ideas about ourselves are often the cause of our emotional problems and physical ailments. This is very much true in Chinese medicine. In fact, in Chinese medicine, unresolved, excess, or stagnant emotions are considered the primary cause of imbalance in our bodies. When left unaddressed they can cause immediate symptoms, or overtime, they can lead to disease. We can unlearn beliefs that don't serve us and use certain tools to shift our thinking, therefore changing our lives for the better. Because of the power of the spoken word, one of the best tools are affirmations. One thing you can do daily is express your love to your organ systems. If you have a specific problem, look up or in my past posts to see the duties of that specific organ and make your own affirmation. Make sure it resonates with you, as that is how it really creates power. Touch each of your organs when saying these words.
