00:00:05
they talk less about emotion but much more about energy.
00:00:09
Each element fire,
00:00:15
corresponds to emotions.
00:00:17
Enlightened by Chinese philosophy in this video,
00:00:20
we will discover the five elements of energy,
00:00:23
the two emotional cycles,
00:00:26
and the circulation of emotions.
00:00:30
the five elements and emotions.
00:00:32
Instead of stress management,
00:00:35
the training could just as well have been called energy management
00:00:38
because it is about that too.
00:00:40
I'll start by quickly laying some basics on the cycle of the seasons,
00:00:46
hoping that Chinese energy specialists would forgive for the shortcuts
00:00:51
before making a connection with emotions.
00:00:54
Chinese philosophy and all that derives from it medicine,
00:00:59
nutrition is based on the notion of cycles linked to the five seasons.
00:01:08
according to some translations,
00:01:13
to each season corresponds colors,
00:01:23
the earth yellow.
00:01:26
the metal white,
00:01:34
Acupuncture meridians attached to the organs are linked to each element.
00:01:39
In the metal element we have the lungs and the large intestine.
00:01:43
In the water element we have the kidneys and the bladder,
00:01:47
for the element wood,
00:01:49
gallbladder and liver.
00:01:51
Meridians are energy lines that run through our body
00:01:54
on which the main acupuncture points are inscribed.
00:01:58
When the acupuncturist comes to put their needle on a point.
00:02:02
They are working to allow the energy to flow
00:02:04
more easily in the places where it was blocked.
00:02:11
which is located in the hollow of the clavicles.
00:02:14
To each of the five elements correspond to emotions.
00:02:21
Earth is empathy sympathy.
00:02:24
Metal in autumn is sorrow,
00:02:27
Water in winter is fear,
00:02:30
and wood in spring is anger,
00:02:34
If you go to see a Chinese doctor,
00:02:38
or Chinese nutritionist.
00:02:40
They can help you regulate your stress by
00:02:43
improving the energy circulation in your body.
00:02:47
they will circulate energy blocked in the liver
00:02:50
and gallbladder in which your anger is stuck,
00:02:54
or they will nourish the heart meridian to fuel joy.
00:02:58
They will make energy bridges between a meridian in
00:03:01
excess of energy and one in deficit of energy.
00:03:05
Now let's talk about energy cycles.
00:03:09
Let us return to the diagram of the five elements to explain the notion of cycle.
00:03:16
There are two types of cycle
00:03:18
the generation or nurturing or mother-daughter cycle
00:03:22
and the controlling or grandmother-daughter cycle.
00:03:26
Let's focus on the first one,
00:03:28
the mother-daughter cycle.
00:03:31
In the mother-daughter cycle,
00:03:33
we learn that spring breeds summer,
00:03:36
which breeds Indian summer,
00:03:38
which breeds autumn,
00:03:40
and breeds spring.
00:03:42
Just as wood nourishes,
00:03:44
generates fire when burnt,
00:03:47
generates earth from ash.
00:03:49
Earth nourishes,
00:03:51
generates metal through ores.
00:03:53
Mineral generates water,
00:03:56
and water nourishes generates wood.
00:03:59
This is the mother daughter generation or nurturing cycle.
00:04:05
Now let's make a symbolic parallel with emotions.
00:04:10
Don't try too hard in your mind to achieve perfect
00:04:14
Western style causal logic like a puzzle to put together.
00:04:19
We are in an oriental thought more symbolic and associative than linear.
00:04:25
Empathy and sympathy will bring heartache,
00:04:31
When you lose that for what or for whom you had affinity,
00:04:37
you regret the departure of a friend,
00:04:39
the broken gift,
00:04:40
the mission over,
00:04:42
the time your body was healthy,
00:04:45
This grief will engender fear and anxiety about living without having
00:04:50
or no longer having what you want without the friend,
00:04:55
the vacation time,
00:04:57
Fear and anxiety can breed anger and resentment.
00:05:01
The anger and resentment,
00:05:03
like it doesn't suit me.
00:05:04
It's not going to be like this.
00:05:06
I'm going to react.
00:05:07
It is the angry energy of a new beginning in spring,
00:05:11
like the cry of a newborn baby.
00:05:14
Imagine a mother in fear of her child being late for school.
00:05:18
She is stressed,
00:05:19
fears the worst.
00:05:20
She is so anxious that when the child returns,
00:05:23
she slaps them without having had time to hear them.
00:05:26
Then she covers them with kisses.
00:05:29
Her anxiety fed her anger,
00:05:31
which expressed through shouting and slapping the found child.
00:05:35
Anger itself nourished love.
00:05:38
The mother ends up covering the found child with kisses.
00:05:42
this is the last step.
00:05:43
Anger generates,
00:05:44
breeds love or hate.
00:05:48
the cry of the newborn,
00:05:49
must have come out in order to act.
00:05:52
Whether it be in a reconstruction towards the better towards what we love,
00:05:57
or to act in destruction due to rejection,
00:06:02
so we have seen the cycle of emotional generation or the cycle of nourishment.
00:06:08
The second cycle offered by Chinese
00:06:10
philosophy is the grandmother granddaughter cycle.
00:06:15
The wood controls its grandchild,
00:06:17
the earth holding it back by the roots and avoiding landslide.
00:06:21
In the same way,
00:06:23
anger and resentment control empathy,
00:06:27
The earth controls its grandchild,
00:06:31
delimiting it as empathy,
00:06:33
sympathy control fear and anxiety.
00:06:37
Water controls fire,
00:06:39
being able to put it out,
00:06:41
so fear and anxiety control joy,
00:06:46
Fire controls metal,
00:06:49
causing it to melt.
00:06:52
or hate controls sorrow,
00:06:57
Metal controls wood by cutting it,
00:07:02
and regret control anger and resentment.
00:07:06
The acupuncturist,
00:07:10
will be able to act on these cycles
00:07:13
of generation and control
00:07:15
to regulate the circulation of energy
00:07:17
and avoid blockages or imbalances in the meridians.
00:07:21
They will therefore help their clients to bounce back
00:07:25
when an emotion is stuck somewhere.
00:07:28
To bounce back to a new season after a job loss or the departure of
00:07:33
a loved one or financial bankruptcy or a move or a change of boss,
00:07:38
may life and the seasons recirculate.
00:07:42
Third chapter in this video.
00:07:44
Allow the circulation of emotions.
00:07:47
All the richness of this oriental vision lies in the
00:07:50
fact of accepting the passage from one emotion to another
00:07:54
as a natural cycle.
00:07:56
Whereas the West tends to classify the emotions between good and bad,
00:08:02
positive and negative,
00:08:03
pleasant and unpleasant.
00:08:06
According to the oriental vision,
00:08:08
emotions are cyclical.
00:08:10
They are generated,
00:08:11
and controlled naturally.
00:08:14
It is more useful to allow them
00:08:16
healthy expression circulation than to self-censor them.
00:08:21
A good circulation of energy therefore unblocks painful stuck emotions.
00:08:28
Our western vision pushes us to fight against negative emotions.
00:08:32
The eastern view places more emphasis on the
00:08:36
acceptance and natural circulation of these emotions.
00:08:40
There is no point in fighting against the decline
00:08:42
of the seasons until the heart of winter.
00:08:45
There is no point in fighting sadness,
00:08:49
To fight against these emotions is either staying blocked deeper
00:08:53
in it or bringing forth another stronger surrogate emotion.
00:08:58
What is a surrogate emotion?
00:09:01
Our culture often prevents little boys from crying or showing fear,
00:09:06
so they don't allow themselves much
00:09:08
and hide their fear or grief with anger,
00:09:11
a surrogate emotion.
00:09:13
As for little girls,
00:09:14
they are less allowed to show their anger than their grief or fear.
00:09:18
Emotional repression creates imbalances and higher stress by
00:09:23
holding back and repressing the expression of worry,
00:09:28
Their free circulation is prevented.
00:09:31
These emotions will therefore swell internally
00:09:34
without possible resolution.
00:09:37
Business is a place where emotions are most unwelcome.
00:09:41
We limit the free flow of emotion.
00:09:44
We compensate for free emotional expression.
00:09:47
With excessive mentalization,
00:09:50
which is not often able to resolve emotional distress,
00:09:54
we compensate until the body sounds the alarm.
00:09:58
If a person gets stuck in a stress of fear or sadness or anger,
00:10:03
according to eastern wisdom,
00:10:05
a sign that the energy is not flowing well.
00:10:08
The solution won't be to go into the minds to explore the reasons
00:10:12
for the emotions and tell your relatives
00:10:14
or support professionals about your problems.
00:10:17
It will be more a question of restoring the circulation of energy
00:10:22
by appropriate movement as tai chi,
00:10:27
by massage on the associated organs in reflexology,
00:10:32
you will be massaged the parts of the
00:10:35
foot corresponding to the organs associated with emotion,
00:10:43
Herbal teas selected food to nourish the
00:10:46
energy of the meridians affected by stress.
00:10:50
Getting the body back into balance with energy flowing through all
00:10:54
organs and meridians is a key to helping resolve stress issues.
00:11:00
Circulate energies,
00:11:01
circulate emotions.
