Spring into action

Mander Thiara

The Spring equinox in the Northern hemisphere falls on March 20th at 12.57pm EDT. Spring is a remarkable season. Coming out of the depth of Winter, emerging from the dark nights, we see light, growth and signs of activity. Flowers start to bloom, and the birds begin to chirp. There is a birthing of new life within nature.The Five elements within nature have their corresponding seasons, the Wood Element corresponds to the season of Spring. The Spring equinox signals the beginning of nature’s renewal.

At the end of my garden is a tree, I often use the tree as my guide to the seasons. Purely from a visual basis it reminds me of how we should act in the relevant season, in Winter there was no growth, just stillness. For some strange reason, this year I have been more aware of how Spring is represented in the Element of Wood. Wood reminds me of flexibility, branches bending in the wind, able to move in any direction. There is an inherent flexibility built within Wood.

The Season of Spring is associated to the Element of Wood, the colour associated to Wood is green

You can see from the pictures that tiny shoots are looking to burst out, vibrant and ready to grow. This is the birthing phase of the seasons, and although there is much growth, there is also a sense of containment, of one being controlled in the growth phase.

In Chinese medicine we have seven emotions, the emotion that is related to the Wood element is Anger

        The Character Nu is representative of Anger

The Character NU (above) is representative of Anger, but anger is often misunderstood, We talk about anger, and automatically we create images that are often uneasy to deal with. We may label anger as an unhealthy emotion. Assertion, birthing, forward upward movement are more precisely the words that are meant by the use of the emotion anger.

Assertion is reminiscent of the flying fish in the great oceans, exiting from the depths of the waters, rising into the air. This has a level of ‘Anger’ violence or assertion, it is with this force that movement of rising begins.

One meaning of Anger (nu) might be the effort made to raise something from the earth’s gravity . Here NU is not anger but this kind of violence proper to all beginnings’   C Laure & ER de la Valle

In the birthing of life, the generating of life, a pregnant woman is giving birth. We see the whole aspect of force being used to allow this natural process to happen, so from another dimension to give birth to something will require a level of force or assertion.

Prevent Spring Sports Injuries

Often people say to me, Spring is a seasons to kick start projects, getting more energy means they can do more. In my acupuncture clinic this is one of the Seasons that I often see more people, some use this time to get fit and fall prey to problems such as sports injuries, they often skip the warm up as the climate is much warmer, the danger is that skipping a warm up and going at full speed will often cause may tendon related injuries.

Don’t skip and run, warm up and run, it will dramatically improve your ability to run for longer without injuries.

Use the force of Anger wisely ...

'Ketut' the famous medicine man from Bali provides spiritual advice to Mander and his family

Mander Thiara

DSCF2743.jpg

The challenges of life can be vast, life is a balancing act, balancing work and life, needs and desires. I have been on a spiritual path for a number of years now.  My balancing act is to give enough time and support to my family, work and my spiritual development.

I find that giving personal time to activities that feed the spirit is fundamental in keeping the ‘spark’ alive in oneself and keeping one’s  mind healthy.

The time had come to travel, to explore a country that could give me that sense of spiritual guidance, I was lucky enough to have  planned a  recent family trip to Singapore and then onto Bali.

My trip took on an amazing twist, when in Bali, I was very pleased to have met up with Ketut, the famous medicine man who stared in the film Eat Pray Love.

Aged  98,I felt I was very privileged to have met such a great man, his house, which also resembles a temple, was being prepared for the Perayaan Budha Wage Kelawu which is a Buddhist celebration held in early November.

During the visit, I took the opportunity of having some spiritual guidance.  He read my palm and also further reaffirmed a number of aspects that were present in my life and my future challenges.

I felt very comfortable in his presence and in his Temple, the calling for me to meet with such a great man came true,  and I firmly believe events happen for a reason.  I felt an exchange of healing happening for the both of us at a spiritual level.

For me, the experience gave me some direction, his blessing at the end was to help me accept a new level of energy to enable me to move with the flow of events that are to come.

He continued to give guidance to the whole of my family, this was a real blessing, and of course, not forgetting to give recognition to Gusti Ngurah Juniasmara, who also helped make this possible, as he guided us to this great man.

I'd sent off for adoption papers... a week later I was pregnant: Weather girl Clare Nasir on her quest to be a mother

admin

Clare Nasir is a mother now

From surgery to acupuncture and IVF, the former GMTV presenter enthuses about her new role as a parent and her battle to regain her figure

Blinking back tears, Clare Nasir took in every last detail of the tiny newborn cradled in her arms.

It was November 2009 and this moment had often seemed an agonising impossibility.

The former GMTV weather girl had been told by doctors she was possibly infertile – she and her husband, BBC6 DJ Chris Hawkins, had already failed to conceive with invitro fertilisation (IVF).

But today Clare, 41 – who was photographed last year in an unflattering green bikini while exercising to lose her baby-weight, and a few months later released a fitness DVD that became a best-seller – enthuses about her new role as a parent to 21-month-old Sienna.

"Anxiety and Acupuncture"

admin

Anxiety is more than just being anxious. Just as migraine sufferers get righteously indignant when someone claims to be a fellow sufferer but can still get to work, eat and stand the daylight, so anxiety sufferers know that they bear only the slightest resemblance to people who feel a bit nervous or have ‘butterflies in the tummy.’ Clinical anxiety is a crippling affliction which can sometimes defy all of the medications and talking therapies that someone can throw at it.

Why, then, has acupuncture been found to be successful in treating it? The main reason is that in conventional medicine, there is no single treatment for each sufferer as each person has differing symptoms. However, in traditional acupuncture every patient is considered to be unique, and this means that the practitioners will be looking and listening very carefully to everything that the patient says to establish a diagnosis and find the specific keys to unlocking the patterns of the symptoms the patient is suffering. They will aim to identify the imbalances which cause the symptoms of anxiety, not just treat the symptoms themselves. This whole ‘package’ – taking the patient’s individual story seriously and giving them time to tell it, trying to hone precisely the diagnosis, and selecting the optimum way to use the least needles to achieve the greatest effect – has been found to be very effective.

The theory of traditional acupuncture is very straightforward. The free flow and internal balance of energy (Qi) is seen in eastern medicine as essential for good health. Any prolonged exposure to extremes or intense situations, be they physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, will cause the flow and balance to be affected. This disruption in balance then ripples through the whole system, causing symptoms which sometimes bear little apparent relation to the underlying causes. An acupuncturist’s skill lies in making sense of seemingly unconnected symptoms and understanding the unique nature of someone’s energies in such a way as to restore balance. A treatment plan may simply involve needles and moxibustion, the use of a warming herb, and tui na, a form of traditional Chinese massage, but can extend to address issues in someone’s diet, their exercise patterns and their lifestyle.

People sometimes ask why, if acupuncture is so successful, there isn’t much research to back up its claims and make it more freely available within conventional care.  A major reason for this is the unique nature of treatment which resists putting people in pigeon holes and which changes as the person’s balance begins to improve. Both of these confound attempts to organise research according to western models where a named condition receives a single treatment and all other variables are taken out of the equation. In Chinese medicine the variables are called patients!

Where do our patients with anxiety come from? Word of mouth still remains the most common and most reliable form of referral, and more people have had acupuncture than you think. If you ask around your support groups you are almost certain to find someone who has tried acupuncture and found that it works. Perhaps this time it’s your turn!

People also usually want to know whether the treatment will ‘stick’, whether they have to keep on having acupuncture. Some don’t – a single course of treatment can set them on a good path which, as long as their life remains well-balanced and relatively stress-free, means that they will stay anxiety-free. Many, though, like to keep ‘tuned up’, and realise that spending a fraction of what they spend on keeping their cars roadworthy keeps the driver in good shape too.

Learning from life's lessons

admin

So many of us  believe that the greatest teacher is life and the lessons are often hard to learn. This is why learning from a human teacher is  considered so helpful. Nature  is of course  a teacher, teaching us what each element can bring us as a seasonal gift, but if we could learn from nature, we would not need a teacher. So what can a human teacher bring us? What is their role?

On one level their guidance on helping us extract wisdom from life's lessons.

There are of course many people who can give us this advice, so what do we seek?  We seek a spiritual teacher that can leave their own agenda to one side and are willing to take responsibility for our spiritual growth.

Many are willing to share ideas and inspiration with you. But few indeed are willing to say, "This is the practice that will optimise your heart’s growth at this time."

So the question is, why do we seek outside help? Do we search endlessly for solutions to our problems, or do we simply have all the answers available to us, but choose  to get distracted in this world, keeping the mind busy therefore we refrain from tackling our core issues, so ultimately are we detracting from nourishing our Mind, Heart and Spirit?.
