One of the more interesting theories for the existence of ghosts is that of a remaining life force. That is, when someone passes into the beyond an image of kinetic energy remains in the form of a ghost. Granted, there is no basis in fact for this assessment as proof of ghosts, as it has no basis in factual science whatsoever. But, the notion that energy leaves a mark is not an unfounded one. While there are no such things as ghosts, there are such things as traumas and like a ghost, the energy of a trauma will haunt the psyche until it manifests as any one of a number of maladies. It does this by attaching itself to the body's energy flow, which disrupts it significantly. Since it can be next to impossible to eradicate the body's energy flow we are left with the alternative: modifying the energy flow to make it more beneficial as opposed to harmful. This is where therapies such as Emotional Realignment Therapy (ERT) come into play.

When an individual goes through a traumatic emotional experience, there is the possibility that emotional scarring remains. As anyone who has experienced a trauma knows, there is an overpowering energy that is common with negative emotional experiences, and this energy can leave a presence in the body even long after the emotional experience has faded into history. Emotional Realignment Therapy seeks to extract this negative residual energy and allow the body to return to the sense of balance that it had previously enjoyed.

In terms of the actual therapy performed, ERT can be performed as either limited physical therapy, or a combination of physical and counselling therapy. That is, one can have the emotional baggage removed with or without discussing the problem. Ultimately, the right choice is up to the individual, as one method may be more suited for a particular individual than the other. Regardless of which method one chooses, the important thing is that proper treatment is initiated and that it has the intended results.

Emotions are a powerful thing. They can make a person bask in positive energy or they can lead to a person wallowing in misery and self-pity. If the effects are negative then they must be properly treated, and ERT is one of the better potential treatment methods. In so many cases, ERT aids an individual in becoming free of the chains of negative emotional baggage.

I hope you'll enjoy the next article in this series, on the subject of Thought Field Therapy (TFT).

Traditional Chinese medicine is based on a number of theories that include, the five elements, the meridian system of the body, the zang fu and yin yang theories, amongst others. These theories are very strongly represented in the art of acupuncture and some study of them will help one to better understand the reasoning behind the practice of acupuncture.

Compared to modern medical science, acupuncture is totally unconventional, however the practice has been in existence for many thousands of years in China and Asia and has been adopted by millions of people from around the world. The benefits of acupuncture have been time tested and proven to be effective.

Chinese philosophy considers that the body is, in itself, a universe with a number of meridians, or energy channels that work in harmony with one another in order to keep the body healthy and functioning properly. Qi is the energy that flows through the channels of the body conducting energy, or the force of life, to the body's various organs. The forces of yin and yang, or positive and negative, that exist within the body are opposites that complement one another and must be kept in balance in order to allow the free flow of qi.

The Chinese believe that each organ of the body relates to one of the five elements, which are: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood. The five elements are fundamental components of the universe and part of them can be found in all things. A bodily organ is categorized by the dominance of a certain element and treated accordingly in a specified time frame. There is also a connection between the five elements and the planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter.

Acupuncture treatments are closely related to the five elements and yin yang. The stomach and spleen are damp, which is yang. The heart and small intestine contain the element of fire. The large intestine and lungs have the element of metal or dryness. Wood is related to the liver and the gallbladder has the element of wind.

The Chinese describe the body as a whole and the Chinese body chart portrays the layout of the meridians, and trace their connection to our vital organs as well as to other body parts. By studying the body map and acquiring some basic knowledge of Chinese traditional medicine, acupuncture will no longer be such a mystery and you may become a follower of this ancient therapy.
