Traditional Chinese Medicine and The Five Emotions
Events in our minds effect our chemistry. We sense the state of our body's inner chemistry. We call this sense our feelings. We project these feelings to others as emotions. When emotions are intense, they change our body in profound ways. This changing inner chemistry affects the flow and rhythm of our organism by influencing the qi qi and theorgans organs.The emotions correspond to the organs and the five elements. For example,
Joy the Heart
Sadness the Spleen
Grief the Lungs
Fear the Kidneys
Anger the LiverExcessively strong emotions pervert the qi to create disease. Fear or anger lead to constraint of qi, which results in depression, stagnation, and a multitude of physical ailments.
