The Role of The Shadow In The Healing of Acupuncture

The concept of Shadow has been central to many rules of indigenous healing shamanic healing modern psycho-analytic works of Carl Jung. The New Age of the world, you can get pretty dark, and mystified as the traditional "healer" is a journey into a dark world for one is healed. But it's not so mysterious - and when I realized - it can be a great tool to organize the understanding of the healing journey.

You can not talk about the health of modern humans regardless of the environment. Every day, every day from birth, we were asked to process information and stimuli that is often in direct conflict with our ideals, beliefs or the way we see ourselves. To guard against going crazy, our mind creates a reservoir that does not fit our environment. Nothing in this tank until it has been judged harshly by ourselves or others. So - they begin to deny that we really are to adapt to our environment.

I would go one step further and say that this reservoir are unprocessed traumas that were too difficult to palpate. All trauma requires a full version so it does not affect our health - which means that many feel the pain. But we prefer to keep the shade as much as possible in order to continue to participate in society. But in the shadow wants to go - and what's more, we have to fill our destiny.

In my acupuncture practice, I saw that deep healing occurs during the process of acupuncture for various reasons. One of the main reasons to do, especially since the practice in New York, is that during acupuncture, people take linear time. Are released from the universe in three dimensions and time demands and reactions. In most cases, are able to discard everything that is pulling down and are able to go to a place where the conscious and the subconscious can be mixed and integrated. When this happens, move more and more together.
