Acupuncture as effective energy medicine
Yes, absolutely.
I definitely see Acupuncture as an energy medicine. I view it as needles placed on the topography of the body in exact locations (meridian points) to help re-calibrate someone's state of health and well being. Each individual has there own resonance known as there signature and the placement of the needles allows the body, if it chooses, to find its personal resonance again through the vibration and re-calibration that can occur if the diagnosis is correct.
What conclusions can you draw from Kirlian photography
I find the whole field of Kirlian photography fascinating. Maybe because I can often feel peoples fields but do not perceive them in colors. I would like to know if what I am feeling from someone's body with my hands as a healer correlate's with the colors that arise through the photography. This would have to be set up as an experiment-it would be a fun and interesting lab project.
I also was fascinated by the Soviets use of the photography for Athlete's to detect when they are at there optimum performance level?! I wonder how they do that and what colors they are looking for and where on the body?!
I think that western science seems to fear this technique because there is a lot of effort to disregard it as a new age technique. But to me its obvious that we are made of electro magnetic fields and we would emit some type of field from our bodies-I am excited to see my colors. But realize I am in most stressful semester yet-5, and will probably do it again once the term is up and I return from my holiday inBelize to see the contrast.
Human intent as it effects health
I think having the right intention when working on a patient and the patient having good healthy intent of healing themselves, definitely influence some of the healing process.
When a Doctor believes in there work studies have shown that there work is strong and has good results. A patient needs to also have faith in the practitioner. If the patient does not trust the doctor's skills there health could suffer.
I also feel that a Doctor could also not need intention and the practice of giving and administering Medicine can be the salve and good intent in itself.
It makes me think of that Japanese Doctor who did prayer on water. then viewed the water with different intentions. Beautiful, positive intentions created gorgeous crystalline patterns; anger, hate etc... created very distorted patterns. I see it the same with the body. We are energetic and are always merging and separating from everything we interface with. With this in mind if we have positive, healing, loving intent this will be felt, transmitted and received. It can only improve the health of the patients field/ signature.

Life and Living Systems
(Woops! I just answered the discussion in class questions, instead of homework questions-well, I will leave it because it is applicable and I like the randomness of it!)
Can we propose a definition for "living system"?
Sure we can propose one but I believe we are still trying to figure out what it all means?
Recently, I learned that a transplanted heart can be kept, ALIVE, by an oxygen supply, nutrients and blood while in transport to a heart transplant patient. This idea that the heart is beating fascinated and confused me. Is it alive still out side of its original body? It is hard to define sometimes as our technology makes possible thing that would not be found in nature?! i.e. a bear does not put a heart in a box with a separate technological external living apparatus. So... well, I guess we can try define a "living system" but it will inevitably be irrelevant in near the future. Our technology is harvesting and creating new tissue from stem cells etc... it is living once harvested and applied to another living organism? I think we must re shape and bring in ethics to these poor new introduced living organisms, that I would call freaks of nature.
Just how tenuous is our existence?
I think humanity is destroying the natural order on earth-We are a very stupid species-despite our brilliance because we disregard the inter connectedness of us/ humans, to all!
Our existence and the existence of all mammals is very tenuous. Maybe that is the natural order? Maybe certain insects i.e. roaches that are highly adaptable can be the new 'imperial species'. I do think we have tipped the pendulum and we can change things towards more balance but it would take a greater field of consciousness to reign over the masses..... its a possiblity as well but I am not holding my breathe.

Towards a new synthesis
My E-Prime day
I primarily speak and write in E-Prime format. Maybe it is because being overly pedantic is boring and wordy to me-maybe its because I am slavic and english is not my first language-in serbo-croatian it too is a E-Prime culture/ and when I transcribe in my brain it comes out this way? I am not sure but what I do know is that I like to get to the point. Only in poetry and analytical essays do I find the style interesting. Although I can get flowery with my nature metaphors.... who knows? It depends on my mood!
Can I synthesize East/ West?
I daily synthesize East/ West in my work as a healer. Sometimes taking from western physiology or sometimes explaining ideas in Taoist metaphors. I try my best to bridge the worlds. My studies of TCM at AIMC try to integrate these worlds. It is a daily practice much like any practice it must be applied.

Classical Physics
Newton's three laws and me
LAW ONE- When I throw a ball I can somewhat understand the theory of constant velocity-although it can appear to move at different rates. But it could just be the angles I see it moving at.
LAW TWO-Makes perfect sense again applying the throwing of a ball. The acceleration is directly proportional to the force/ air and mass/ size of the ball. Okay, I agree-totally!
LAW THREE- Yes, If two balls of same size and mass collided there force is the same at impact-okay that makes sense as well. Because you apply law two-I think to this theory....
Okay, not bad...whats next a curve ball?
Our "Energy Efficient" Culture
If applying The first law of thermodynamics to this question it appears that yes, we are extremely 'energy efficient'. Law one- Energy is conserved-the total energy content oft he universe shall remain constant; never being created or destroyed, but only transformed from one form to another.
Descartes has a lot to answer for!
Descartes,"advocated a mathematical description of the natural phenomena and the use of analytic thought to study nature".
It was a limited reductionist view that seemed to be invented during the renaissance. It was a period when man decided to no longer be a part of nature and have dominion over it. A very popular approach and catchy for centuries to follow. But this desparant separation of our natural relationship to all living things and our apparent relationship to quantum physics/ and chos theory of today make his theories out-dated. But I must thank him for changing humanities perception-it oviously came to pass for a reason.

Cool experiments
I liked playing with my spoon-literally!!! tee, hee.....seeing how my face mirrored back changes with a concave/ convex shaped mirror-way fun!
The knife was okay and the fork-well I must have cheap flatware-not a a good resonance.

Chaos Theory
"Ordered chaos"-sound familiar?
Yes, "The particular type of 'ordered ' chaos referred to in chaos theory is a dynamic phenomenon, occurring when the state of a system, defined by available or a set of variables, changes with time." The article refers to this theory in fractal patterns. But when I think of it I think about life. Just plan living and how random exchanges between individuals or experiences change the course and decisions of ones life's path. We can see this happen because as souls embodied we change with time physiologically and hopefully spiritually.
"Unacceptable as it may be to reductionists, mystical themes of wholeness are central to chaos theory."
Fractals as patterns as complex systems
"Unacceptable as it may be to reductionists, mystical themes of wholeness are central to chaos theory."
I decide to continue where I left off with the last question-and it is an example itself of how the last question influenced and changed my thoughts for this answer....
Okay, fractals are beautiful. They are patterns of complex systems within a contained random computer sequence. But no less complex in there design and randomness.
Consciousness out of Chaos
Karl Popper, "suggested that consciousness was a manifestation of some kind of overarching force field in the brain that could integrate the diverse information held in distributed neurones..." these neurones can and do fire information from within the field of the body and I believe outside the field of the body. Since we are electromagnetic beings we cannot separate fully from the eletromagnetic world we live in. I think as the sages, say there is a greater consciousness that we also tap into, known as the greater unconscious, but I think of it more as the greater consciousness. we all play in influence this field because we literally charge it.

Vibrations
Are all vibrations 'good"?
No, I do not think that vibrations set off by a nuclear bomb are"good" but they are vibrations none the less. There is no good or bad when vibratoins are spoken of they are movements that are steady and rythmic to and fro. But some people, places and things...seem to exude a certain vibration that is good and that I know I will gravitate towards i.e. my dog, he just feels "good" to me. I think when you put our two energies together my energy field surely vibrates with happiness with his.
Resonance in my world?
Back to my dog who is patiently waiting for me to finish my homework to go for his favorite thing a W-A-L-K. I can now feel him trying ever so patiently to GOOOOOO!!!! It is rather loud. His resonance with mine is very loud and clear. So yes resonance exists in my world especially with the ones I love the most. I can always feel family members even if they are in a foriegn land traveling. There is truly alot of resonance in my world.
Connections I can make between energy and Qi?
Back to Einsteins' e=mc2. He 'proved' that everything is energy. Qi is energy and as the article from Dr. Hendel stated,
"Perhaps there is a yin/yang relationship between the two, one being the motivating force and the other being the expression of that force". This concept of possibly Qi being the Yang motivating force and energy being the yin expression of that force seems like a good theory. Because everything is energy and we are made of it, something has to move the particles/atoms....what is it?
I believe in our human bodies as well as all bodies, plants....Qi flows and has its own resonance and rythmn. We just have to learn and match the resonance, like the wine glass, to sync up to that individuals song/ rythmn. Then one can help recalibrate health and well being-through the movement of Qi via needles, Qi gong, massage etc...

Energy, matter and the four forces
How has e=mc2 affected me?
Well....it truly has been how I was taught to percieve the order of the universe and therefore how I know my world. Does it pertain to my true relationship with of all living things?! Yes, in a way it does. It says that energy equals matter times the speed of light squared. Saying that everything is waves and energy not just matter and that matter is in fact just energy. It is really a profound equation, and westerrn science is still trying to decifer and understand the magnitutde of this formula. For me this idea is very true. I do view our bodies, well everything as waves/ fields of energy. I do not try to understand the complexity of this idea but play with it experientially in my daily existence i.e. laying under my redewood tree and having it teach me.... maybe our energetic fields are overlapping and this merger allows for knowledge, love and understanding to be transmitted. For me the complexity of this constantly leaves me in awe and reverence. That is my true realtionship with the universe I live in and this incredible mathematical equation. Geez....
How would I compare the 4 forces?
Well they seem to all have a different functions; Eletromagnetism, weak nuclear force, strong nuclear force and gravity.
These functions are very specific to different sized particles
1. Electromagnetism has both atractive and repulsive properties.
2. Weak nuclear force is responsible for radioactive decay.
3. Strong nuclear force is responsible for "keeping quarks together inside protons and neutrons and protons and neutrons inside atomic nuclei".
4. Gravity the weakest of the four forces, its effects have to do with the "mass of two bodies and the distance between them".
To me gravity although weak seems like the glue that keeps everything else together. They all seem to need something cohesive to help them to stay in the same fields of space with a distance between them. Gravity seems to be doing that to me.
The function of Gravity?
The function of gravity is to be the universes super glue. Although standing alone it seems not so strong, add the mass of two bodies and voila gravity has its ultimate function. It keeps everything together but with out much force. Gosh, that seems so zen. Exert the least amount of effort but astill do the job. It truly conserves energy by being efficient. Gravity is the glue with the least amount of force therefore allowing it to be the most powerful.

Symmetry and Sacred Geometry
My (a )symmetrical world?
Nothing is exactly alike; A flowers petals are not all the exact same size and shape but viewed as a whole they appear symmetrical. It is and interesting thing about our preception, we creat whole images from many different parts, all the petals the stamen....are viewed as a flower. Our way of seeing is always creating symmetry, sameness and wholeness from many parts. Why is this? It is hard to really know. Maybe its evolutionary or maybe we just like making things cohesive and catagorized for out brains?
CP violation and what it means?
It means that this one kaon decides very infrequently to not do as averyone else does...decay in the same way, if I have got this right? It means that we get to be here because of the exceptions in science not the commonalities. This allows for more matter than an equal balance of matter and anti-matter to exist in our Universe. Allowing us to exist and sustain for a longer period of time as well.
Are there connections between Sacred Geometry and Physics?
Yes,there are laws in Physics that are based on symmetry; The conservation of momentum, the conservation of energy, conservation of electric charge and the orientation in space. Basically, all of these laws are always create balance in there theories. It is a convenient solution for the desperant universe we live in. I think that even these laws have variables that are truly not equal but just appear so.

Synchronicity
"What evidence can you find for Synchronicity?
Well western science now has this idea called quantum entanglement developed by Bell and then developed further by Bohn's theorem which is a profound but simple explanation, "an unbroken wholenesss and "that-which-is."
also the quote from Bohn, "There is an order which is enfolded into the process of the universe, but that enfolded order may not be readily apparent."
I know from my own personal and professional life that this order is more, one than separate. I have had prophetic dreams, thoughts,and synchronicities occur my entire life but in my family it was not dismissed but understood. Therefore, I have recognized and trusted these knowings. It is such a common occurrence for me that it seems strange to think that science did not recognize it until recently.
An explanation of Connectivity?
Since we are all one more than separate, connectivity is that 'oneness' in everything. The totality of everything living connected in a matrix of life, an unseen but shared phenomenon.
I know I feel that oneness when in nature. Standing on a hillside in the wind I am not separate from but a part of the wind/ the wind is a part of me. We 'blow' each other away with our shared reality, merging and enfolded.

Quantum Mechanics
Reflections on Uncertainty
I postulate that it is very uncertain. Modern Science is just now beginning to discover that everything has an energy field and that we are all related and connected. Therefore, nothing is stable and instead is constantly changeable. I am certain that the universe as we know it is uncertain.
Comments on Causality?
That everything and every vibration is connected. Even if we do not realize the relationship between the states or particles and that they are extremely changeable.
So we cause things to happen all the time that we are not cognitive of simply by being.
Is the Universe Weird?
Absolutely. There is so much we do not understand about were we live. the universe is huge and we are very small. I will not try to honestly understand its Weirdness. Only marvel at its beauty.

Meaning of Time
Why attracted to Chinese medicine?
Energy and how it works in the body and interacts with all the energy of the universe.
What do I think of Physics?
I am not sure what it really is?
It has to do with life and the physical shape of all things?!
It intimidates me.
I am excited to learn.
Experiencing time slowing down and speeding up?
Absolutely!
Slowing down-while giving a healing session. I have had a bodywork practice for almost 20 years. It can appear that 2hours have passed but when I look at the clock it has only been 10 minutes.....beautiful!
Speeding up- Yes, while I am in the art studio. Time takes on a whole new shape and is not connected to anything but my creative process possibly.
