| How Aculife Works |
| |
| Embracing the ancient Chinese tradition of healing, Aculife uses the time-honoured philosophy of Wu Sing, or "five elements" as the basis of its treatment. The five elemental energies - earth, gold, water, wood and fire - symbolise the life forces present in all living things, each one being a manifestation of Yin and Yang, or the opposing states of nature. |
|
|
Earth - Representing the state
of optimum balance, earth regulates the five elements. As the pivot of
the cycle, it symbolises late summer when the Yang energies of spring
and summer transform into the Yin energies of autumn and winter. |
Gold - Representing the state
of purification, gold is linked with autumn when energies are purified
and conserved for the impending winter. Gold symbolises wealth and
prosperity and is characterised by radiance. |
Water - Associated with winter
and extreme Yin, water is represented by the colour black.
Characterised by the season of rest and stillness, the water element is
meditative and gentle. In feng shui it is widely used to promote wealth
and good luck. |

Wood - Expressed s the season
of spring, where new life begins and hibernation ends, wood is the
start of Yang energy. Characterised by growth and renewal, wood is
represented by the colour green. |
Fire - The strongest Yang
energy in the five elements, fire is associated with vitality and the
heat of summer. It is the most energetic of the elements and is used to
counter excessive heat. It is represented by the colour red. |

When attempting to heal your body using Chinese medicine, you are
effectively using the principle of Yin and Yang to balance your body's
cells so that positive and negative elements are equalised. There are
12 meridians in your body which link the various organs and tissue
together, 3 starting in each hand and three starting in each foot. You
may view the body's meridian maps by clicking on the PDF's links on
this page. Acupoints are junctions along the meridians which store
energy (chi) as it travels around the body. Stimulating the Acupoints,
whether with needles or electro-magnetic pulses, increases the flow of
chi in your blood and therefore the body functions better. Acupoints
reflect the efficacy of internal systems in the body and so Aculife can
diagnose the body's health by reading the flow of energy through the
Acupoints. Because all of the organs and tissues are connected by
meridians, it is possible to check the Acupoints in the hand to
determine the health and effectiveness of any part of the body through
the hand. |
