Anxiety – Inside and Out

Acupuncture can help Anxiety, as Anxiety needs a holistic view and treatment to take in all the factors. Traditional Five Element Acupuncture treats both the emotions and the Body. The Body-Mind connection can never be dismissed. Stress, trauma, and emotional reactions impact physical well-being.

Internal and External

Anxiety can come from External Factors and Internal factors. Though the external factors may become internal damage, causing anxiety and more. Many internal factors can affect how you are externally and how you face the world around you.

Internal is mostly Yin, and external is mostly Yang. Acupuncture treatment aims to balance the Yin and Yang, to help bring the five elements to a positive flow, leading to Health and Balance.

Constitution and Your Anxiety

Each person’s ability to manage anxiety may be affected by past and present trauma, grief, hurt, damage and constitution. Traditional Five Element Acupuncture can help you build your emotional strength. Acupuncture can help you be strong enough to manage the concerns around you and in the past that may haunt you.

Emotions and The Five Elements

We all have the Five Elements within our Body, Mind and Spirit; each Element has emotion within. We need all the Elements to function, though one is your Gaudian or Constitutional Element, with two more you can relate to. Your emotions are associated with a certain elemental quality that, if nurtured and rebalanced, can restore your equilibrium.

Water Element  Fear + Wisdom, Introspection, and Resourcefulness

The Water Element aligns with the uncertainty and anxiety that can cloud our happiness. These fears can be deep and mysterious like the ocean depths, making us feel uncertain and anxious as the year or each day unfolds, ticking time away.

Wood Element – Anger + Optimism, ambition and Growth

The Wood Element is associated with anger and disharmony. It’s akin to a tree that bends and sways in the wind but snaps when pushed too far. When our wood energy is balanced, we can express our emotions appropriately. However, if it’s imbalanced, people may struggle with uncontrolled anger or a lack of assertiveness.

Fire  Element  – Dim passion for life + Joy and Love

The Fire Element brings joy. Just as a warm fire brings comfort and happiness, an excess of joy (like extreme excitement) can create disharmony in our emotional balance, leading to restlessness or even insomnia.

Earth Element Worry  + Empathy and Compassion

The Earth Element represents worry, overthinking, disharmony, and sympathy, can make you feel stuck or weighed down over time, like being trapped in quicksand.

Metal Element – Grief, Sorrow and Sadness + Receives with grace and sorts Pure from Impure

The Metal Element represents sadness. Imagine your emotions being as heavy as lead when you’re not in a state of happiness, holding on to Grief and trauma, not being able to move on.

Our Perspective to Emotions

Each of us has a different perspective to how we feel and move forward with emotions. Some people feel they will never find a path forward from their traumas of life. Others can learn from their problems and get stronger from their experiences.

We are all different and find a way to live. Traditional Five Element Acupuncture can help you find your perspective on your emotions and those of the people around you to help you find a more contented life.

In an ancient Chinese text –‘ The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine’ says

‘Anger makes energy rise, Joy slows down energy, sadness dissolves energy, fear makes energy descend…. shock scatters energy… worry knots energy’

Therefore good reason to get your emotions balanced and the anxiety they can cause, to find an easier life.
