Explanation 

General information:

• Chinese medicine recognizes six “pernicious influences” also known as the six pathogenic factors, six excesses, or six evils. This usually comes from being exposed to or overwhelmed by the element via weather or environmental exposure, from diet, and could also be created by internal factors, such as associated imbalances or chronic illness. 
• Each of these is simply the energy of an element, but an excess of it is considered toxic by the subconscious mind. If the body is unable to process the energy, the flow of Qi (energy) may be imbalanced and symptoms may arise, sometimes even years later. Like the elements in our environment, these could combine within the body to create exacerbated symptoms (e.g. Cold and Wind together may feel more extreme than either element would on its own). For more information, research Chinese Medicine Theory.

Wind energy is considered to be the most damaging and chaotic, because it possesses the qualities of wind in nature. It exerts excess forceful, unpredictable movement of energy in the body. 

• It is a Yang energy.
• This is created by exposure to wind in the environment, or may be caused internally by liver imbalance. 
• It often affects the head, throat, eyes, upper body, and lungs, and can potentially create shaking or spasms, or symptoms that change unpredictably. 
• This may cause one to be physically sensitive to or emotionally agitated by wind in the environment (even when one is indoors).
• Often has at least one associated imbalance, especially the other five pernicious influences. 

Decoding 

Ask: Is it necessary to identify more about this Wind energy?

• If no, move to Association.
• If yes (unlikely), muscle test to see which of the following pieces of information need to be identified. You should never need to identify any other piece of information than the below. (Continue to Association only once you have identified the necessary details.)
  • Where in the body is this located?
  • How old were you when you got this?
  • Was this associated with a life event?

Association 

Ask: Is there an associated imbalance that needs to be decoded?

• If no, move to Intention.
• If yes, return to the home page, decode and address any associated imbalance(s), then return here and repeat the above question. 

Intention 

Swipe three times with a magnet or your hand on any length of the governing meridian, while holding an intention to release the energy from the body.
