The celebrated timeless classic – Nei Jing/The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine states: “The disease of the five viscera/yin organs may be compared to; A sharp needle in the skin. A stained chair. A knot or deposit of mud and sand in the river. One can still remove a needle from the skin, no matter how long ago it was inserted. One can wash off a stain, no matter how long ago it has been on the chair. One can untie a knot, no matter how long ago it was tied. One can remove deposit of mud and sand in the river, no matter how long ago it has been there.

Some people assume that a disease cannot be cured, simply because it has a long history, but the truth is that an outstanding physician can cure a disease for the same reason that one can pull a needle from the skin, wash off a stain from the chair, untie a knot, or clear the blockage from the river.

A chronic disease with a very long history can still be cured and those who think otherwise have not really mastered the art of acupuncture.”

We are energy, a living, moving, changing, radiating being. According to the Chinese, energy (Chi) flows through certain distinct pathway (meridian lines). When Chi flows abundantly through these meridians, the body receives optimal amount of life force.

The organs function to their peak efficiency, sustains health and ward off disease. The opposite is also true when Chi does not flow abundantly due to stagnation or congestion.

Emotions
What actually are emotions? Energy in motion! We might not like the dense and constricted feeling of anger and frustration; we tend to love the feeling of joy and bliss. When we do not label and allow these energies to flow through without resisting, we allow ourselves to be free and flowing.

When we observe nature we see changes in the seasons, weather. We notice there are wind, cold, heat, dampness and dryness. We might not like some of these energy transformations but we do know that after the storm the air is highly charged with negative ions, so vital to the state of our well being.

MASSAGE COURSES IN ASIA - Elemental Transmutation Massage Course Level 1, The Carena Sukrah Method

Monday 10 March 2008 - Friday 14 March 2008

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes…

  • Everyone is born with self-healing ability.
  • Destructive energy patterns like cancer can be interrupted and broken.
  • The body has the ability to regenerate its immune system.
  • The best cure is prevention.
  • The human body is an organic whole.
  • The human body has an inseparable connection with the natural world and the universe as a whole.

TCM theory states that as long as the body’s two major operating systems work in harmony both within themselves and with each other, good health will be maintained and disease avoided.  These two critical systems are the meridian network and the five major organs.  Together, they encompass the western concept of the immune system.

Carena uses the art of Tui na, Acupressure, Energy healing, Color therapy, Deep tissue and Internal organ massage based on 5 element theory of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.  Each element represents a pair of internal organs, to create the all encompassing - Elemental Transmutation Massage.
