RETURN TO THE ROOT OF MIND

 



Gall bladder.13 or BENSHEN in Chinese and Mind root or Root spirit in English is an Acupuncture point of Gall bladder meridian. GB.13 is a very effective point for treating mental and emotional problems. This point, along with HT.5 and GB.38 is used in the psychiatric practice of the Nanjing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for Schizophrenia and Split personality. (Maciocia)

Jealousy and suspicion are constant feelings in Schizophrenic patients, thus this point is useful in treating these irrelevant feelings. GB.13 has a powerful effect in relieving anxiety due to persistent worry and obsessive thoughts. The meaning ‘Mind root’ implies that the essence of the mind is connected to the Kidney jing and kidneys are the foundation of life, yin/yang, and essence in Chinese medicine. So, in this way, GB.13 is the point where essence or jing accumulates, hence the name ‘Root spirit’ also. We need a strong essence for mind clarity and emotional harmony.

The ‘Great Dictionary of Acupuncture’ says that GB.13 is a place or point that makes the mind (Shen) return to its roots. (Maciocia). This is a very good point to treat severe depression. It strengthens mental clarity, willpower, and memory.

Headaches, migraines, and dizziness are treated when the Liver yang energy is hyperactive. Stagnant Liver energy is one of the root causes where free flow of energy is blocked leading to blood stasis and stagnant energy. This stagnation can create havoc in the mind as the emotions are not processed freely leading to all kinds of mental and emotional problems. Schizophrenia, depression, jealousy, and suspicion are mental disorders where a person is stuck in one frame of mind.

TOUCH YOUR INNER SELF

Image
  THE HEALING TOUCH In Acupressure treatment, there are several ways to stimulate an Acupuncture/Acupressure point, but the most simple and effective technique is the thumb rule of using the thumb and index/middle fingers. Simply holding or pressing the point by thumb or index/middle finger is enough to connect with the energy most efficiently. This method removes or releases stagnant energy most effectively and channelizes the energy through the meridians or channels. When locating a point, the index and middle fingers are the best bet, and after locating the point thumb can be used under moderate pressure to release energy. In areas or parts where there is too much muscular tension then both the thumb and index/middle fingers can be used alternatively. The thumb will remain at one point and simultaneously other fingers can work around the point to release energy. Regarding the amount of pressure, it should be neither too strong nor just a light touch but kept in moderation. The p...
