Ten Thousand Flowers in Spring – Hidden Secret to Health and Happiness

July 29, 2025 By Don Ka'imi Pilipovich

My topic for a recent Accunect Mind Body Healing webinar was a poem by the Chinese Zen(Chan) master Wumen Huikai that begins with "Ten thousand flowers in spring."

The full recording of this webinar including the Accunect Healing Session that followed the lecture is below - keep reading for the full video.

My premise is that this poem gives us a practical way to work on connection to inner Oneness and hence health wherever we are.  No special equipment needed, you don't need to schedule a time for meditation/prayer. Just be present to the daily miracles that surround us.

I'll present Wumen's poem and then talk about it.

"Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.

If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life."  - Wumen


What does this have to do with health?

Accunect is a healing system, but we look at the deeper roots of health and disease.

In Chinese medicine, all disease begins because of the perception of separation from the Tao(God/Oneness).

When we feel separate or alone, we experience fear. Fear weakens the Kidney Qi and it causes our nervous system to go into alert/fight-flight mode. The Kidney meridian is where we store our Original Qi / Reserve Life Force, so when we weaken this energy we age. And when our nervous system stays in fight-flight mode too much every system in the body gets distorted: 

  • Too much tension in the muscles.
  • Blood pressure goes up.
  • Digestion weakens and we become malnourished.
  • Immune function weakens and we let toxins and infections build up in the body.
  • Tissue repair gets put on hold.
  • Inflammation increases relentlessly.

Which means that anything we can do to feel connected to Oneness/Tao/God is a good thing for both our physical health and our spiritual/mental health.


What about meditation?

Meditation is great. So is prayer. But these experiences are typically planned and not spontaneous. Both can make you calmer and increase resilience, but they don't reliably produce wonder.

What really helps us appreciate the interconnectedness of all things is an experience of wonder:

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!" - Vicki Corona

If we are truly present, we will notice countless evidence of miracles in everyday life.

Life itself is a miracle - more and more scientists are doing the math and realizing that Darwin's theory of random mutation and natural selaction is fundamentally flawed. Accidental genesis of complex life is mathematically impossible. Life itself is a miracle, and taking it for granted is hazardous to our well-being. If we are present we are able to see  "a World in a grain of Sand, and a Heaven in a Wild Flower" (William Blake) and experience joy and wonder by seeing something fresh, beautiful, and miraculous everyday.

Miracles are the true nature of reality, when we do not see them something has gone wrong with our perception. Witnessing miracles and experiencing joy and wonder is necessary for maintaining balance in both body and mind.

Joy neutralizes the other emotions and is a tonic to both the digestion and the immune system.

How do I get better at miracle watching?

This is where the Accunect balancing comes in. In order to shift our instinctive reaction to the world, we have to shift the underlying energy state.

An example I often refer to is that the Spleen meridian regulates our relationship with worry. If the Spleen Qi is weak you will worry too much. So I never tell people not to worry. Instead I balance their Spleen Qi and that gives them a chance to worry less - it shifts their habitual, instinctive response away from worry.

This is why the Accunect Mind Body Healing webinar always consists of two parts:

  • A mini-lecture on some aspect of creating better health: diet, lifestyle, exercise, and very frequently mindset and beliefs. I try to correlate this information with possible energy imbalances.
  • Then an Accunect Healing session to help shift our energy state and hence our instinctive responses to the world. This is what changes our ability to crave healthy foods, make time for exercise, manage our stress, and see more miracles.

Just show me the video already!

Here's the recording of the webinar. The Accunect healing session follows the lecture. Information on joining this webinar series below the video - we do this every week, because if you want to get your energy in shape it's like going to the gym to get your body strong: once is not enough, you make progress through consistency of working on yourself.

This episode explores the topics above in more detail and then I do an Accunect Healing session to help everyone shift energetically to encourage the ability to be present.

Join Us

If you enjoyed this lecture and healing session, consider joining us.

The Accunect Mind Body Healing webinar takes place every week at 4pm London time (11am Eastern, 8am Pacific, 11pm Singapore/Hong Kong). 

All sessions are recorded and replays stay up for six weeks. That gives you plenty of time to catch up on any calls you aren't able to make live.

Don’t Ask, Don’t Get

May 25, 2025 By Don Ka'imi Pilipovich

The video above is a recording of a recent Accunect Mind Body Healing Webinar. It addresses the themes of this blog post and is worth a watch.

The video also includes the Accunect healing session that followed the lecture. The people on the call found the session really powerful, so watch all the way to the end.

This week for my weekly Accunect Mind Body Healing webinar I invited people to ask for what they wanted to change in their lives out of the Accunect Healing Session.

First, I talked about the health implications of not asking for what you want.

On a purely practical level of life, if you don’t ask for what you want, you’re really unlikely to get it – Don’t Ask, Don’t Get.

That’s not rocket science. If you don’t tell people what you want, you are expecting them to be mind readers. Whether the people in question are family members, friends, or work colleagues, they can’t know what you want unless you tell them.

So why don’t more people act authentically and ask people for what they want?

For many people, they have doubts about their self-worth and whether or not they deserve to have a more fulfilling life with more fulfilling relationships.  Of course they don’t think this out loud. Instead, they say things like:

“I don’t need much.”

“I’m just a shy person – that’s okay.”

“I’m not lucky.”

“You can’t always get what you want.”

The way to address deeply held beliefs is to balance our energy state – which is the same thing as your subconscious mind. That’s one reason why Accunect is so useful – by addressing all the energy states of the body we can shift our instinctive, subconscious reactions to situations and open up more possibilities for expressing our selves fully and having deeper connections with those around us by being more authentic.

But you have to want to change, and you have to understand how it's possible to change to really be able to shift at a deeper level.


Make Me Want It

You can lead a horse to water…

How do you convince people that they are worth asking for what you need?

This is why I chose to talk about the health implications of not asking for what you need.

In fact, the health implications of beliefs and negative expectations are the only reason that I talk about them. I’m an acupuncture physician and energy medicine practitioner, not a psychotherapist.

Chinese medicine, the theory behind acupuncture, has been around for thousands of years – long enough to notice that emotional states affect the acupuncture meridians and their ability to regulate the health of the body.

Emotions are one of the primary causes of disease in this view, and our beliefs or expectations about the world determine our emotional reactions.

Connecting the dots between physical ailments that we don’t know how to fix and emotional states and reactions that we could change leads to empowerment. If we can see how changing our behavior and our reactions can positively affect our health we can claim control over our destiny and heal ourselves.


How It's Connected

The Liver meridian rules the throat and our ability to express our emotions. When we want something, but don’t have it and can’t see how to get it, the underlying emotion is anger or frustration: “Why can’t I have it?”

Strong Liver Qi/Energy helps us to see ourselves moving forward and growing in life, and helps us to practice asking for what we want. With practice, we can become more graceful and diplomatic with how we ask, but we first have to think we are worth it before we can ask for it. And then we have to muster up the courage to speak up. Courage is generated by a combination of strong Liver Qi/Energy and strong Gall Bladder Qi/Energy. Both the Liver and Gall Bladder meridians are part of Wood element and share common aspects of thinking.

So, inability or unwillingness to speak up indicates a weakness in the Liver Qi.

And this means that the Liver is going to start being less efficient at its other jobs. In western medicine, the liver has more than 500 vital functions so this could affect every system of the body.

Rather than talk about the details of the specific physiological functions, which are pretty abstract to anyone but a medical doctor, I focused on the high level functions of the Liver in Chinese medicine, including common physical and psychological symptoms of imbalance.

I just read from the reference handouts for the Liver that I created for the Distance Acupuncture course. I created an extensive set of handouts so that practitioners without my 35 years of study in Chinese medicine could have resources to connect physical ailments to energy imbalance to life choices about how we react to situations. This way, anyone can help empower others to take control of their health on all levels: body, mind, and spirit.

Here's a short list of what I read off for functions:

  • Supervising immune function
  • Controlling both flexibility and strength of the muscles
  • Eye health and vision
  • Keeping digestion moving properly
  • Regulating menstrual cycle
  • Regulating blood volume
  • Promoting sleep
  • Expressing emotions
  • Recognizing the universal Oneness that connect all of creation
  • Generating faith and hope
  • Seeing your path in life and seeing opportunities
  • Planning and organizational ability
  • Governing boundaries
  • Asking for what you need
  • Learning from your mistakes and gaining wisdom
  • Encouraging spiritual growth

Then I correlated failure of these functions to common symptoms:

  • Headache
  • Chest tightness
  • Nausea, belching, indigestion, or bloating
  • Hiccups
  • Neck and shoulder tension
  • Lump in throat or difficulty swallowing
  • Blurred vision or “floaters”
  • Red eyes
  • Painful periods
  • Breast tenderness
  • Numbness of limbs
  • Tremors
  • Allergies
  • Depression
  • Moodiness
  • Melancholy
  • Insomnia
  • Disturbing dreams
  • Irritability
  • Angry shouting
  • Perfectionism
  • Resentment
  • Frustration
  • Inability to manage schedule
  • Poor boundaries
  • Frequent sighing

You’re an exception if you can’t relate to at least one of those issues.

If you have any trouble with any of those issues and if you have any trouble asking for what you need, then balancing your Liver Qi can help with both.

Again, I just read off from the handouts that I give to students of the Distance Acupuncture course so that anyone can help people understand how they can heal and then help them to heal by balancing their energy by using Accunect energy balancing taught in the course.

Why Do Energy Healing? Going Beyond the Obvious

February 15, 2025 By Don Ka'imi Pilipovich

It should be more than about helping others – it should be a wisdom path that ends in faith.

Prefer to listen? Click button for audio recording of this post.

When I ask people what attracted them to study healing work, they usually say they want to help others. That’s nice goal, and it’s where I started, so I get it.

I also think that if you shift your focus to making about growth for you that you get more out of it, it’s more sustainable, and as a side benefit you become a much better healer.

I’ve been practicing energy healing in one way another for over three decades. Like many people attracted to doing this kind of work it started with a desire to help a loved one who didn’t seem well served by allopathic medicine. I dove into researching complementary approaches: chiropractic, acupuncture, acupressure, nutrition, herbs, tai chi, and more.

Acupuncture seemed to help the most, so I took a beginner course in Shiatsu-Anma acupressure massage to be able to complement the acupuncture treatments that seemed to be helping.

I practiced on other students in the class, and when people heard I was studying Shiatsu they volunteered to be practice bodies.

I wasn’t looking to change careers at first. I had a degree in computer science with top honors and a very promising career ahead of me. I was working on a NASA subcontract to develop artificial intelligence learning systems for the Space Station. The most sensible thing from a financial planning perspective would have been to keep developing my career in software.

But several things happened that changed my mind:

  • I discovered that I enjoyed connecting with people more than I enjoyed working with computers.
  • After only a bit of training I started getting results with lots of health conditions with clients: back pain and neck pain I expected but I was also seeing people get better from things like heart arrythmias, digestive problems, infertility, headaches, allergies, menstrual pain and more.
  • Even though I didn’t really understand how working on the energy flows in the body through acupressure could have such profound results, I really enjoyed watching what seemed to be miracles.

So, I quit my job as a computer scientist and continued my studies in Shiatsu-Anma. I also studied Chinese medicine, acupuncture, herbology, osteopathic manual therapy, and applied kinesiology. I became a licenced shiatsu massage therapist and licenced acupuncture physician.

I became fascinated by the mind and body connections discovered thousands of years ago and wanted to learn as much as I could.

The more I learned about the bidirectional link between mind and body and how the energy in the acupuncture meridians connected mind and body, the more curious I got.

And the deeper my understanding went, the more I was able to connect to my clients. When I explained that their physical ailments were connected to meridian imbalances, and then further explained that they were associated with certain kinds of emotional stress or challenges they could finally relate to what was a happening. It became something that they might have some power over. In contrast, the medical perspective on their problems usually boils down to: “your body isn’t making enough of this chemical and rather than trying to find out why we’re just going to give you some medication.”

A simple example is that when the Spleen meridian is weak you tend to worry too much. And when you worry too much, you weaken your Spleen meridian. And weak Spleen energy weakens your digestion and your immune system. You end up having too many food sensitivities and get too many colds, or are tired all the time.

This kind of explanation shows people what they can change to get better. Instead of giving people a diagnosis of something wrong, I was giving them hope of how it can get better.

Growing Wisdom

Growing up, I had never considered myself particularly good at social skills or understanding people. I was good at math, and I was good at programming. People just seemed more complex and less understandable. I was more of a geek or nerd than anything else.

Suddenly, I was understanding people better than I ever thought was possible. I was making deeper connections that I ever thought was possible.

I remember one lady some years ago who at the end of our first session told me her reaction to the session: “I’ve been married thirty years, and my husband is a good man. He wants to understand me: he asks me about what’s going on for me all the time. I couldn’t ask for a better or more caring husband. You’ve known me for an hour, and I feel like you know me better than he does.”

That was pretty mind-blowing praise to my ears considering that for the first half of my life I considered myself a science nerd who didn’t “get” people.

I started to realize that my journey wasn’t purely about being of service.

I enjoyed helping people, but there’s 8 billion people on the planet. If my reason for living was solely about being of service to others, what were the limits to that? It’s impossible to help everyone.

And of course I have to worry about myself. I need to charge for my sessions or I have to go back to programming to feed my family. And I have to make sure I am growing as a person because if we don't grow we get frustrated. Being frustrated is a terrible energy to bring to a healing session. I do serve others, but I also serve myself because what I do increases my ability to see the good and even the divine in others. I started to see my work as a wisdom path.

The more I studied and practiced the more amazed I became about the ability of the body to heal. It is nothing short of miraculous.

The body replaces up to 300 billion cells a day. Your skin is brand new every 30 days, the liver can be replaced in about 7 days after an injury, and the digestive lining is replaced every 4 to five days.

This rocked my world

The more my understanding and my enthusiasm grew my results just got more powerful and I started seeing “incurable” and “genetic” diseases resolve. This challenged my scientific world view (raised by two PhD chemists, then a degree in computer science).

I started studying epigenetics and I discovered that stress, both emotional and physical, can and does affect how our genetic code operates. And I learned that the way epigenetics works is that the energy field at the surface of the cell can actually change the genetic information in the cell. And the mind controls the electrical field of the whole body and hence the cell.

I also learned that if you could change the energy field of the body for the better, you can undo epigenetic damage and restore health.

The key is working on the energy systems of the body in order to change the mind and change the physical function of the body.

The idea that the mind supervised the nervous system and through the nervous system managed body function made perfect sense to me as a computer scientist.

The hardware in a computer can only actually do a few things:

  • Move a number from one location to another.
  • Add two numbers together.
  • Test a number to see if it’s zero.

Everything else is software. Without layers of software, a computer is just a bunch electrical components assembled together. Almost everything we think that a computer does, it does by being managed by software. Software is like the “mind” of the computer.

And I started to see that balancing the energy of the body was a bit like installing a software patch for a bug or or damage from a computer virus. It's information that runs a computer and information that runs the body. Updating the information or intelligence of the body makes it run more efficiently.

How can the body be so amazing? What intelligence allows this?

The more I learned how to identify and balance every energy system in the body, the more I realized how powerful the underlying intelligence of the body was.

And it made me wonder where this intelligence came from. I grew up going to church and learning that God made everything in seven days. And I also was raised by scientists and raised to believe that Darwin had actually made a convincing argument about evolution and how we got here. I was just used to ignoring the contradiction in these two world views and not thinking about it very clearly.

I was beginning to understand the famous quote from Werner Heisenberg, the father of quantum physics:

“The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will make you an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.”

The more I studied about the incredible complexity and resilience of life, the less I could entertain a mechanistic viewpoint about the creation of life.

I started studying criticism of Darwin’s theories and came to realize that this was another example of a flawed theory that has become dogma to the point where people are ridiculed for questioning it.

But the theory falls apart under examination. For a start, Darwin’s theory cannot explain:

  • How a living cell can form out of non-living material. Still no credible theory and zero ability to produce this in a laboratory. If you can’t produce a valid test your theory is not science, it’s wishful thinking.
  • The sudden of explosion of new species in the Cambrian era that have no ancestors in the fossil record – no evidence of minor mutations producing a new species from an old one.
  • No explanation for how whole complex systems can form all at once from rare and random mutations. Even producing an organism as simple as a worm required the sudden appearance of complex structures that would have required many thousands of mutations to happen all at once in one organism. Statistically this is impossible, the math simply doesn’t work.

It's hard to look at this with open mind and not start wondering if there is some kind of intelligence that is beyond our understanding that has produced the complexity of life.

As I said I was raised going to church, so my first reaction to thinking about some larger intelligence is to think of God. I’m also quite happy with thinking about this larger intelligence field as Universal Consciousness, Collective Consciousness, Oneness, or Tao.

Putting the theory into practice

This idea of believing in an intelligence field is reinforced with how we practice Accunect. We use self-muscle checking to access our intuition. And we get answers that seem to be relevant and seem to be helpful in the sense that they lead to a positive change in both mental and physical health.

Much of the time, we get led to answers that we could not have possibly known consciously because the client has not shared any information that could have led us to know that.

It turns out that our subconscious mind is connected to Universal Consciousness and using muscle checking to access intuition is really getting information from a larger intelligence field, whatever you choose to call it.

Getting answers from beyond your intellect and then having those answers lead to healing results is awesome for your sense of faith. Faith that the body was designed to be incredibly resilient, faith that we can heal, faith that we are not alone, and faith that if you ask the right questions, you will get answers.

What about You?

So far, I’ve been talking about my path. I’m enough of a scientist that I know that if you think you know how something works, the only way to test that theory is to see if you can teach others to do the same thing.

I’ve been teaching energy medicine internationally for over twenty years, and the people I teach also get answers they couldn’t possibly have known, witness amazing healing results, and end up deepening their faith.

One of my students had no healthcare training but left his career as a truck driver to do Accunect full time. Early on, he called me to say: “I don’t really understand what I’m doing, but people are coming to me with cancer and other really scary conditions. All I do is ask questions using the Accunect Health Map, do the balancing, and they’re getting better. What’s happening?” I told him that he was doing it right – Accunect starts from the premise that the body was designed well and all we have to do is ask for answers about what has gotten out of balance and then the body heals itself the way it was supposed to. He continues to watch miracles every day and to feed his family in a way that deepens his faith in his connection to Higher Power/God every single day.

Working on faith makes you a better healer

I’ve taught thousands of students to do energy healing with Accunect. They can all do the work as soon as they finish the course. Over time, we’ve come up with better ways of teaching that allows us to both communicate the knowledge and also give enough practical experience to develop faith in their ability to facilitate healing.

We know that our mind reaches outside the body and influences others from neuroscience research.

When you believe that the body is amazing, healing is possible, and the Universe/God will answer your questions about how to help, your energy field shifts. And that affects others. The more faith you have, the more your mind and energy field affect your client’s mind and energy field. Your client then feels intuitively that they have finally come to the right place. This already starts to take them out of fear and fight or flight nervous system to allow healing before you even start the Accunect session:

This also gives a deeper understanding of the phrase “Physician, heal thyself.”

Our responsibility if we do healing work is to increase our faith that healing is possible so that our clients feel our faith.

Practice, practice, practice

Like anything else, the more you do something the better you get at it. Practicing Accunect gives you the experience that everyone can do healing work, even you.

This is why we include several months of weekly support calls with all our online courses. You can watch the lectures as many times as you want and in your own time. In the support calls you get to give and receive Accunect healing sessions with others.

The lectures give you the knowledge of how to do the work.

The support calls give you lots of experience in feeling connected to Universal Consciousness, feeling connected to others, and increase your faith in what is possible in terms of healing and your ability to facilitate healing.

The results are life changing. Every call results in stories of amazement and gratitude after the practice sessions in breakout rooms.

It’s like a practical course in how to watch miracles. You get enough support and practice time to really experience what’s possible, and then it becomes part of how you see the world. This sets up more positive expectations and that is communicated subconsciously through your energy field to the client and supports the process.

Gratitude is Good Medicine

November 28, 2024 By Don Ka'imi Pilipovich

Expressing gratitude strengthens your digestion and your immune system. The video is a longer, fuller discussion of the ideas below.

Read on for the short version.

Today is Thanksgiving in America. It's a day of gratitude that has deep roots - it goes back much further than the Pilgrims. In fact some sort of similar ceremony shows up in virtually all cultures and religious traditions throughout recorded history.

Because I'm preparing to start calls for the Accunect Energies course, which includes understanding how to work with the Wei Qi in the body, I thought it would be interesting to create a post and a video connecting up the idea of gratitude and good health.

If a ritual or ceremony shows up in lots of cultures around the world over time, there's probably good wisdom and some kind of health benefit from embracing that tradition. And it turns out that giving thanks before you eat is very good for your digestion and immune system.

To understand why we need to look at a bit of physiology of the digestive tract, and then bring in concept of Wei Qi from Chinese Medicine to explain how our mental and emotional state can affect our digestive health.

In a nutshell, when we say grace or give thanks in some way before eating it strengthens our Wei Qi. The Wei Qi is an energy field that governs all of the "boundary" surfaces of the body: any place where we meet the outside world. This includes our skin, our respiratory passages, and the inside of our intestines.

When the Wei Qi is strong it makes the skin a better barrier to infection by closing the pores which are naturally open. It takes Energy/Qi to close the pores, and Wei Qi is the energy that runs within and along the surface of the skin.

Wei Qi also circulates within and along the intestinal lining. When it's strong it helps the intestines absorb nutrients efficiently, while preventing toxins and microparasites from passing through the intestinal wall into the blood stream.

This makes the Wei Qi an essential part of the innate or inborn immune system. This is also referred to as the non-specific immune system which protects us by using barriers such as the skin, airways, and intestinal lining to keep unwanted pathogens from entering the body.

How do you get strong Wei Qi?

The strength of the Wei Qi is determined largely by our attitudes and beliefs. When we are in stress and seeing life as a series of problems and obstacles we are likely to be in fight or flight mode and experiencing some level of fear. Fear contracts the Wei Qi and makes us more vulnerable to invasion by pathogens.

When we take time to give thanks for our food, our family, and the good things in our life we enter a state of gratitude. This helps us come out of whatever fight or flight mode we've been in and releases more energy for the digestion and immune system.

Gratitude is an expansive energy and it helps the Wei Qi in our intestines expand and protect us from toxins and microoganisms. People who take a moment to say grace or otherwise give thanks experience less reactions to food - including food poisoning - than other people do. And they have stronger digestion, better vitality, and stronger immune systems.

Giving thanks on Thanksgiving is good. To keep your immune system and your digestion strong, take time to bless or give thanks for your food at every meal, not just once a year.

If you have trouble taking time to center yourself in a place of gratitude before eating, consider using Accunect to help shift your beliefs about your self-worth, change your beliefs and attitudes, and strengthen your Wei Qi.

If you're a practitioner and want to be able to help people have stronger Wei Qi so that they can have stronger immune systems and stronger digestion and vitality, consider studying Accunect.

Thanks for reading!

When a tumor is not a tumor after all

February 13, 2024 By Don Ka'imi Pilipovich

When is a tumor not a tumor?

I recently had a client referred to me and one of her complaints was a mass or hard lump in her upper abdomen.  Her doctor was concerned about a possible tumor and had referred her for an ultrasound. Because of the location, the doctor also wanted to rule out an aneurysm on a blood vessel. 

Both conditions could be serious, so I encouraged her to follow through with the ultrasound because it’s better to know if there’s something wrong rather than to worry about it.  Worrying about health issues depletes your energy/Qi and makes your health worse.


But I also saw an interesting pattern with some of the other symptoms that were on her intake form.

She had bloating after meals, sluggish digestion, food sensitivities and allergies, and periodic headaches behind the eyes.

That to me suggested a pattern involving the Liver meridian, and I explained how stagnation in the Liver meridian could induce tension into the stomach.

I showed her a picture of the lesser omentum, which is a ligament that connects the liver and the stomach - see diagram.

When there is stress affecting the Liver meridian, this ligament tightens and literally pulls on the stomach.

This creates tension in the stomach.

This in turn produces a sensation of a lump in the upper abdomen, indigestion, bloating after meals, sluggish digestion and headaches behind the eyes. Headaches behind the eyes indicate stagnation in the stomach and intestines in Chinese Medicine.

The energy imbalance that produces this pattern of symptoms has been recognized for thousands of years.

It’s called Liver invading/dominating the Stomach.

It’s a very descriptive name, because tension and emotional stress in the Liver meridian directly affects the lesser omentum and then this tension literally invades the stomach in a physical way which turns the emotional stress into physical digestive symptoms like indigestion, bloating, nausea, acid reflux, a tight area in the upper abdomen that feels solid like a tumor, dizziness, headaches, and sluggish digestion.

To confirm the pattern, I asked her one more question.

Trying to be diplomatic, I said “Look, I know I just met you, but is there any chance that you have perfectionist tendencies?”

She laughed and asked how I guessed that, because she resonated with that.

And I said it goes along with the energy pattern of Liver Invading Stomach.

The amazing thing about having a continuous record of clinical discussion over a period of several thousand years is that there has been plenty of time for practitioners to observe the bodymind patterns that result from energy imbalances. And this includes recognition of both physical and psychological symptoms.

Just knowing that there was an alternate explanation for her symptoms that didn’t have to involve a tumor or an anuerysm was a visible relief for my client.

I then proceeded to do an Accunect healing session with her, and sure enough one the things we balanced was the imbalance pattern of Liver invading Stomach.

She felt noticeably better after the session, and the lump completely disappeared shortly after our session.  She did have the ultrasound, and it was unremarkable – no mass in her abdomen, nothing of concern at all.

It’s natural to be afraid that a lump in your abdomen might be a tumor, or something else.

In this case, the tumor didn’t suddenly go away – there never was a tumor.

It was simply muscular tension resulting from an imbalance in the Liver meridian.

It is an amazing gift to be able to reframe someone’s scary medical problem as an energy imbalance instead of a medical problem.

It’s way more empowering for the client because there is then a natural way to address the symptom without drugs or surgery.

I can do this reframing because I’ve been studying Chinese Medicine for 35 years. To practice acupuncture, you need to go to graduate school for 4 years. And then it takes another 10 years before you get good at diagnosing patterns.

I’ve been teaching applied kinesiology based energy medicine internationally for over two decades. 

I wanted to be able to teach my students a way to focus on the underlying imbalances and to draw on thousands of years of accumulated wisdom – without having to go to school for 4 years and to practice for many years after that.

I came up with the Accunect Ancient Wisdom course that combines the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine along with modern techniques from Applied Kinesiology with an extensive set of reference pages.

Using muscle checking and these well-organized reference pages, practitioners without any knowledge of Chinese Medicine can find just the right aspect of energy to balance. And then they can read out to the client what they found and say something like “this energy imbalance can produce one or more of the following symptoms….”

When the client realizes that what they thought were separate problems are all tied together by a long-recognized energy imbalance they are able to shift their perspective on their problem – which is a treatment in and of itself.

Then the practitioner uses tapping over the head and the heart to stimulate both the nervous system and the meridian system so that they can come more into balance. It’s like doing acupuncture, only without the needles.

With almost no training at all, students are able to find and balance Chinese Medicine energy imbalances without needles. And they are able to communicate this to clients so they can help the client see their issue as an energy imbalance that can they change rather than as a medical problem that they may have to take medication for long-term.

Accunect Ancient Wisdom is available to take online with a mix of self-paced lectures and live support calls for demonstrations, practice time, question and answer time and healing sessions.
