 Chinese
Medicine and the MindBy Efrem Korngold, LAc, OMD and Harriet Beinfield, LAc
Chinese medicine does not make absolute
distinctions between what we in the West classify as the mind, the
activity of the central nervous system, and the physiology of the
visceral organs. Within traditional Chinese medical thinking, a person
represents a field of Qi, a continuum of dynamic structures, functions,
processes, sensory perceptions, and cognitive faculties that range from
the gross, substantial, and visible (fluids, blood, flesh, muscles,
vessels, sense organs, nerves, and bone) to the subtle, insubstantial,
and invisible (sensations, perceptions, feelings, emotions, thoughts,
images, and dreams. |

There are five
major components of practicing Chinese Qi Gong.
All five seek to regulate the 1. the breathing,
2. the mind, 3. the body, 4. the Qi, and 5. the
shen (spirit). Proper breathing is one of the
main keys to general Chinese Qi Gong practice.
It regulates and adjusts the body's Yin and
Yang. Spirit and breathing are mutually
dependent, while spirit and Qi have to mutually
combine. After all, regulating the mind is the
most important component to control the entire
practice.
