    About this ebook

    Finally it’s possible to simply look up guesses on the mental-emotional meaning of disturbed meridian flow. As well, move easily from underlying mental-emotional dysfunction to meridian-organ dysfunction. Finally a manual to go back and forth and between these two.

    Ever wonder how the body tracks and manages mental-emotional psychology? Ever think Chinese Medicine had some good ideas about how psychology and the body are connected but that TCM was incomplete? Ever wonder what else has been learned about meridian-muscle-organ-psychology connections in the 40 years since Applied Kinesiology and Touch for Health became public?

    Meridian Metaphors, Psychology of the Meridians and Major Organs is a 1005 page MANUAL providing comprehensive psychological language for the disturbed energetic conditions of each meridian and associated organ.

    Each meridian-organ entry suggests which emotions that organ absorbs. Psychological dysfunctions are separated into UNDERcharged and OVERcharged categories so the polar extremes of dysfunctional expression are more obvious and easy to learn.

    The manual is written for counselors and practitioners of all kinds. With it you can go from meridian dysfunction back to organ and psyche dysfunction; or, from psychic dysfunction down to meridian and organ dysfunction.

    The manual is especially pertinent for kinesiology testers to “see into” meridians and organs issues. It will appeal to self-healers, self-testers, and practitioners, such as:
    - Touch for Health,
    - Energy Medicine,
    - Immunics,
    - EFT,
    - Psych-K,
    - Theta Healing,
    - Peace Theological Seminary Masters & Doctorate Programs.

    The manual begins and ends with language for the HEALTHY FUNCTION of each meridian-vessel.

    A section of language, imagery and myths for meridian dysfunction at each pole of UNDERcharge and OVERcharge dysfunction accompanies each meridian. The manual condenses and better categorizes the insights of William F. Whisenant’s monumental Psychological Kinesiology (1994) adding to it many observations from other sources and the clinical practice of the author and other practitioners.

    Additional material includes
    -How and why organs absorb emotions,
    -Some clarifications on language for the five element metaphors,
    -Case studies of how to use the manual,
    -How to use the Light to clear meridian imbalances.

    Welcome!

    Our meridians are one of several, natural ‘Inner Dashboards’ available to manage and tweak our sub- and unconscious Your meridians can indeed become your Healing Toolbox.

    Find here the best guesses to date of therapeutic metaphors relevant to our 12 meridians and two vessels. Disturbances are further organized by undercharge~overcharge, over-energy and under-energy in Neuroenergetic Kinesiology (NK) terms.

    If you know a meridian is disturbed, not flowing in forward direction, stuck or confused, now you can find language to better comprehend how it’s disturbed, in accessible mental-emotional terms.

    From the other end, if you perceive how a patron is dysfunctional in their feeling and thinking, you can learn which meridian-organ(s) are likely disturbed.

    The healthy, balanced expression of each meridian in the human psyche is listed in each section and collated into a list in To Learn More.

    This is a technique-agnostic manual for traveling back and forth between meridian-organ dysfunction and mental-emotional dysfunction. It’s useful for anyone who believes disturbances in our higher frequency bodies trickle down and precipitate into health concerns in our lower frequency physical body.

    This manual condenses and improves on the categories and insights of William F. Whisenant’s 400 page, Psychological Kinesiology (1994). Added to it are many observations from the private practices of the author and other practitioners and sources. Your comments and additions are invited.

    Q: Why aren’t these Tools That Heal better known?

    A: In the field of personal growth and transformation, these ae power tools. Not appropriate to use them outside an ecumenical spiritual framework of ‘God is my Partner.’ Not appropriate to use them outside of the Law of Spiderman, With great power goes great responsibility. Not appropriate to use them outside the Law of Gentleness for Healers.

    About 100 years from now, more persons; probably coming out of diverse churches and spiritual groups, will have adequate-sufficient foundations in morals, ethics and truly human values, to use and share these Tools safely.

    A word about shame, self-doubt, guilt, regret

    These cancel healthy self-esteem.

    Shame and healthy self-esteem cannot co-exist; they are matter and anti-matter; one cancels the other.

    Shame is corrupted self-esteem, self-esteem turned against its owner. Shame disturbs our Conception Vessel, our Sea of Yin, on the front of our body.

    Shame is contraction where natural healthy self-esteem is personal expansion. Inner Sunshine is a useful metaphor for healthy self-esteem.

    The 1980s taught us to increase our self-esteem by repeating affirmations.

    Affirmations are additive, thru repetition they add programming and conditioning to our sub- and unconscious; in a word, entrainment.

    This is the weak way to increase healthy self-esteem. The stronger way to do it is with a subtractive processes. Reducing shameful memories automatically expands our natural psychic space for healthy self-esteem.

    Why? Healthy self-esteem is the natural state before we became disturbed by things we allowed, promoted or created. Health is always the biggest Pattern. Each cell our immune system creates knows what health is and how to keep contributing to health.

    John-Roger says, It takes great courage to see the face of God. why? Because first you have to see your own face. This points to the courage needed to face-up to where our sub- and unconscious are disturbed and can be redeemed. What’s your willingness to heal? Individuals demonstrate their willingness to heal by the the time and attention they invest in using methods of self-connection and self-healing.

    Q: Why does the average person feel ill-equipped to discern and address their our own mental-emotional disturbances?
