Inner Smile and Six Healing Sounds Practices As taught by Master Mantak Chia, Universal Healing Tao Center and Tao Garden Thailand In the Taoist tradition, positive and negative emotions are associated with the internal organs. One of the keys to good health is to become aware of the emotional energies that reside in the organs, and to transform the negative emotional energies into positive virtues.

Just about everybody in the modern world has to deal with some sort of stress. Health professionals have placed stress as an underlying factor in a wide range of diseases. The Taoist way of dealing with stress is to perform the Six Healing Sounds. The Six Healing Sounds are so simple and easy to perform that they seem almost too good to be true. I have found the Six Healing Sounds to be the most valuable technique of all the many spiritual practices I ve learned so far. A lot of techniques require months and years of practice before any noticeable results occur.

"The Ten Questions" Clinical Questioning in TCM Acupuncture Theory
Many people new to acupuncture may ask, "Why does my acupuncturist ask so many questions?" An initial visit to an acupuncturist usually involves filling out an extensive health history form and having an in-depth discussion with your practitioner. An acupuncturist will ask a number of questions about your health and lifestyle, many of which may seem unrelated to your main reason for seeking acupuncture. The questions, however, are linked together and your answers provide valuable input into the diagnostic process. Along with tongue and pulse diagnosis, asking what are known as the "10 questions" allows your practitioner to create a unique treatment plan for you as an individual. This taking into account a wide variety of signs and symptoms is the key to the success of acupuncture and your practitioners ability to treat conditions where other methods may have failed.Organ Clock
