Common sense of the body Episode 89 "Anger accumulated in the spine"

If you have pain in your lower back, it will be difficult because it will be difficult to walk, stand for a long time, be in pain and cannot sit upright, have difficulty getting up from a chair, and interfere with your daily life.

I started to feel pain even though I didn't hurt my back, and even though it's been a long time since my back started hurting, the pain still remains.
If you go to an orthopedic surgeon and it is said that it will heal over time, and if you go to an osteopathic clinic or chiropractic clinic and it does not get better, the cause is often not your body.

It is often said that illness and illness are caused by mental stress, but in fact, this also applies to back pain.
When I actually see many patients,Many people have back pain due to mental stress.

Common sense of the body Episode 88 "Anger accumulated in the pelvis"

The energy of anger accumulated in the "pelvis" is downward.
To be precise, it is a state in which the anger energy with the nature of an updraft generated in the stomach is tightly suppressed from above to the "pelvis".
The female pelvis is wider and much more functional than the male one. And delicate.
The structure of multiple bones such as the sacrum, iliac bone, and ischial bone is the same for both men and women, but the joint of the pubic symphysis is loose and not clearly visible at first glance, but it opens and closes slowly according to the menstrual cycle.
Menstruation begins when it opens over two weeks, and ovulation occurs when it closes.

What if a woman's pelvis, which has flexibility, is pressed down from above with the energy of anger?
It tends to be very tense and tightly closed.
When the pelvis is stiff and tense, the blood circulation inside the pelvis becomes poor, causing severe menstrual pain and menstrual irregularities.
　
It heals over time, but if you hold it in loneliness, it can take root deeply.
Finding ways to let your emotions out, such as writing, speaking, and creating, can lead to recovery.
Emotional wounds begin to "heal" only when they are spoken.

Japan Acupuncturists Association Tokai Hokuriku Block Conference

On October 12th and 13th, I attended the Tokai Hokuriku Block Meeting of the Japan Acupuncturists Association.
We discussed many issues and problems surrounding the acupuncture industry, and during that time, we had discussions with volunteers and deepened our bonds.

The public's expectations for acupuncture and moxibustion go beyond simply "relieving pain" and "relieving stiffness" to maintain physical and mental health and improve quality of life. Especially in Japan, where the population is aging, there is a growing focus on the role of acupuncture.
However, even though acupuncturists perform medical practices, they are often treated as "similar medical practices".
In China and South Korea, acupuncturists have the same status as doctors as "Chinese medicine doctors" and "oriental medicine doctors", but in Japan, they are complementary to the medical system, and are sometimes regarded as "medical-like acts" when they are "medical practices".
It is a situation where there is no treatment under the insurance system or a specialist system.

In this situation, we cannot answer the expectations of the people with peace of mind to "maintain health and improve the quality of life".
In order to meet the expectations of the public, the Japan Acupuncturists Association is developing various initiatives aimed at improving social status and promoting the health of the people.
We are focusing on each field, including system development, education, disaster relief, and public relations activities.

Common Sense of the Body Episode 87 - Anger in the Stomach

The stomach is deeply involved in self-confidence and self-affirmation, and is also related to the digestive system such as the stomach, intestines, pancreas, spleen, and gallbladder.
The digestion and absorption of food also proceed in a clockwise direction along the flow of the intestines.
It takes time and energy.

The anger that comes to your stomach tries to block the flow and generates gas.
Undigested energy in a mental sense, something that doesn't go well, I can't be convinced, I don't feel angry, I'm irritable, I feel uneasy, etc.(gas)It can cause digestive disorders and blunt the brain's judgment due to gut-brain correlations.

Irritation and annoyance tend to accumulate little by little every day on a daily basis, so if you take time to eat and chew slowly and well, or drink hot water to support digestion and absorption, it seems that it will be easier to regain confidence if you can trust your stomach voice and your intuition.
　The voice in your stomach may be a bug in your stomach, your intuition.

Common Sense of the Body Episode 86 - Self-Love and Love for Others

　自己愛と他者愛のバランスとは、なかなか難しいものである。

　誰かのために尽くしていると、ふと「私ばっかり頑張ってる？」と思ったり
逆に自分の気持ちを優先すると「わがままなんじゃ？」と不安になったりする。
　特に人間関係が密なほど、このバランスを取るのは至難の業なのだ 。
家族、友人、職場の人間関係、どれも相手がいるものだからこそ どこまで自分を出していいのか迷うこともある。
でも、そもそも「自己愛」と「他者愛」を対立するものと考えている時点で
すでに無意識のうちにどちらかを我慢する前提になっているのではないだろうか 。

　本当はどちらも同時に満たすことができるものなのである

　例えば、友人に頼まれて手伝いを引き受けたとする。
本当は疲れていたけれど「断るのは申し訳ない」と無理をしたすると、手伝った後で「やっぱりしんどかったな」と後悔する。
　このとき「相手のために」と思っていたはずなのに 、実はどこかで「いい人でいたい」という気持ちがあったりするのだ。

自己愛とは「自分を優先すること」ではなく「自分を尊重すること」
他者愛とは「相手に尽くすこと」ではなく「相手を尊重すること」

　この視点を持つと、無理のない関係性が生まれてくる。
じゃあ、どうしたらそのバランスを取れるのか

　ひとつめは「NOを伝えるまず練習をする」無理だと思ったら、
一度「少し考えさせて」と言ってみる。
即答しないだけでも、自分の気持ちを確認する時間が持てる。
それでも引き受けるなら、それは「自分が納得している選択」になるのだ。

　二つめは「1日10分、自分の気持ちを振り返る時間を持つ」
忙しい日々の中で、自分の感情を後回しにしてしまいがち でも、ふと立ち止まって「今日、私はどんな気持ちだった？」と振り返ると 、驚くほど「無理をしていたこと」に気づく瞬間がある

　三つめは「自分が満たされることで、周りも満たされると知る」
自分のエネルギーが枯渇した状態で誰かを助けても 結局、心のどこかで不満が生まれる。
でも、自分が満たされているときに手を差し伸べると それは自然な愛として広がっていくのである。

　このバランス感覚を身につけるためには、少しずつ練習していくしかない 。
他者のために何かをするとき、自分の心が喜んでいるかどうか
義務感で動いていないか、それを確認するだけでも違ってくる

大切なのは「どちらが正しいか」ではなく「どちらも大切にする」という意識

　自己愛と他者愛は、どちらか一方では成り立たないもの 。
そのバランスを取ることで、本当の意味での優しさや愛が育まれていくのだ。
　だから、焦らなくていい 少しずつ、自分の心の声を聴く時間を増やしていくことだ。
自分の愛は、まず自分自身を満たすことで、もっと自由に、もっと深く、広がっていくのである。

Common Sense of the Body Episode 85 - Anger in the Throat

Discomfort in the throat?A condition in which the flow of qi in the throat is poor due to stress?Maybe.
In Oriental medicine, the flow of qi in the throat becomes poor and the feeling of discomfort as if something is stuck in the throat."Plum nucleus"It is called.

The throat is a point where emotions are easily revealed.
This can be seen from the fact that the voice emanating from the throat strongly reveals the psychological state.
Your voice gets louder when you're angry, and your voice gets quieter when you're anxious, right?
When you are nervous or impatient, you may speak too quickly or not speak well.
And the big factor that changes that emotion is stress, because the factor is stress.

In Oriental medicine"Mind-body correlation"There is a way of thinking.
This is the idea that the mind and body are like mirrors, influencing each other.
The state of the body is projected onto the mind, and the state of mind is projected onto the body.

Stress such as tension, anxiety, and impatience is a burden on the mind, so to speak.
When stress is placed on the mind, the mind becomes unstable and emotions are disturbed.
The disturbance of the mind is reflected as a disturbance in the flow of qi in the body like a mirror.
If the body is suffering, the mind is also suffering.
So your heart is suffering as much as the discomfort in your throat.

Are you trying to do more than you are capable of doing when you are nervous or impatient?
Isn't anxiety creating a future within yourself that doesn't work out?
Anger is "~ I have to do it!" "~ should be like this!" Don't you think too much?

Stress depends on your own way of thinking, and you should be controlling it to make it bigger yourself.
Please relax more and treat your heart softly.
Think more about things.

Are humans that perfect?
If you can't forgive others for their mistakes, are you that perfect?
Is someone who wants you perfection so perfect in every way?
I think that human beings are imperfect creatures who forget or fail even if they try hard.
When I think like this, whether I make a mistake or the other person makes a mistake, I think, "Well, I'm a human being, so I can't help it" and it's over (laughs).
But because it is imperfect,Isn't it true that people live in a group called family and society to make up for each other's shortcomings?
If you can do everything by yourself, you can be a human being alone.

Common Sense of the Body Episode 84 - Anger Between the Eyebrows

The anger that feels like it is accumulating between the eyebrows is often quietly wrinkled by the "bastard" in front of me.
I think it can't be helped, such as a boss with low ability, a colleague who always slacks off, an unreliable husband, a mother-in-law who says all the details, but I guess it can't be helped if I say it, oh no..., thinking like that makes my eyebrows furrowed, and the anger that I didn't say quietly accumulates between my brows...

When anger builds up between the eyebrows, the communication between the left and right sides of the brain becomes difficult due to the location, and blockages occur, so the field of vision narrows, making it rigid to see things and make judgments, and it becomes difficult to sleep peacefully.
You may have the image of a sinister and scary person from those around you.
Well, it's not good.

If you notice that the wrinkles between your eyebrows are getting closer, the wrinkles between your eyebrows are getting deeper, or you can see that the base of your eyebrows is stiff, you should consciously loosen and widen your eyebrows repeatedly.

It is recommended that you release the anger you feel in small quantities and actively incorporate cute and beautiful things into your life that will relax your heart and heal you.
