Psychology of Chinese Medicine Psychology of Chinese Medicine Overview

There are the following theories:

The theory of the unity of form and spirit -- "form" and "spirit" in Chinese medicine is a concept of unity; "Form" refers to the tangible material "God" refers to the law of change in the natural world. Neijing" said "yin and yang is not measured called God". In the human body; "God" is used to illustrate the complexity of life activities and a variety of life phenomena, Chinese medicine believes that "God" can not be separated from the form and the independent existence of the body, the form of God is a symbol of the human body's life, the separation of the form of God means death.

The theory of the heart of God - Chinese medicine believes that all the activities of the "God" are dominated by the heart, called "the heart of God". In Chinese medicine, "soul", "prana", "will", "will" belong to the scope of God. "Soul" refers to a kind of rapid response under the command of "God", a low level of mental activity; often associated with sleep. "Prana" refers to some instinctive activities and sensory functions that are inherent in the body. "Yi" and "Zhi" refer to memory and the preservation of memory.

The theory of heart-spirit perception - Chinese medicine believes that all senses in the human body are dominated by the "heart-spirit" and are connected to the sense organs (eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body) through the meridians.

The theory of the five viscera - is the study of the relationship between emotional activity and internal organs. "Joy, anger, worry, thoughts, fear," called the "five Zhi". The seven emotions are the different emotional changes that occur in the human emotional process. Chinese medicine believes that the emotional activity is the response of the internal organs function, is based on the internal organs as the material foundation, emotional activity and the relationship between the five organs: liver in the Zhi for the anger, the heart in the Zhi for the joy, the spleen in the Zhi for the thought, the lungs in the Zhi for the sadness, the kidneys in the Zhi for the fear. When the function of the internal organs change, people's emotions also change accordingly. Such as liver qi when people are prone to anger; heart qi when people are prone to joy; lung qi when people are prone to sadness; kidney qi deficiency when people are prone to panic. If emotions are too anxious, they will hurt the internal organs. For example, anger hurts the liver; excessive joy hurts the heart; sorrow hurts the lungs, thinking hurts the spleen, and fright hurts the kidneys.

Yin and Yang Sleep and Dream Theory - is the theory of yin and yang, from the materialistic view of the unity of form and spirit to explain the human body's sleep and dreams. Dreaming is a special psychological activity during sleep, and Chinese medicine believes that dreaming is when a person is in a state of static with movement and yin with yang. Some normal physiological activities are often reflected in sleep, such as "very hungry dream take, very full dream to" and so on. For the human body and the disease number of dreams, Chinese medicine believes that "obscene evil dream" this dream also has a certain law, such as the disease on the dream fly, the disease in the lower dream fall, the disease in the bladder dream toilet, the disease in the anterior yin dream intercourse. (Sometimes it is the reaction of human instinctive desire) yin qi full of dreams of wading in the water; yang qi full of dreams of burnt fire; yin and yang are full of dreams of fighting and killing, etc. In fact, there is no dreamless sleep, but there is no dreamless sleep. In fact, there is no dreamless sleep, but if there is a nightmare constantly, startled sleepwalking, nighttime dreaming, etc. is a pathological state.
