The Energy of Gall Stones


Q: Can you discuss Gall Stones from an energetic point of view?
A: Sure, this is how we talk about them in Medical QiGong Energy Healing. First, our Gall Bladder is called “The Decision Maker”, and it’s important to understand that the act of Making a Decision has a huge amount of power and energy that goes with it.
Think about that for a moment – we can go from being wishy washy or not knowing what to do, but as soon as we make a firm decision ALL of our energy in the form of thoughts and actions takes a solid direction and has a force of movement to it.
Gall Stones form when we have things in life that we want to do – to move forward or act on – but we let that energy stagnate and it builds up into a physical accumulation of non-action. For example,
1) we don’t make the decision with the energy of power to act, (ie, tomorrow, next year, after I have more money or time…)
2) we are in conflict between who we think we are and the desired action. (ie, oh, but I could never do that – even if I wanted to.)
3) our love of something is put down (insulted) by external expectations (ie, we are an artist, yet our family structure places a very strong value on financial success – lawyer – doctor….. Our love of art is put down in many ways, and we end up feeling like we would be a failure or disinherited, or too dreamy airy fairy to follow our childish desire.)
When we say “I want to but I can’t do that because…” , the gall stone is our excuse for non-action. It can also be related to another element:
Water = too fearful to act
Earth = too stubborn to act
Metal = too judgemental to act
Fire = not enough connection to love to act
Wood = too stuck or oppressed to act
What do we do about this? First, we become aware of our story – what we are thinking and saying that is holding us back in some way. Next we change this story into something that is positive, believable, and allows for forward movement. Then we release and dissipate the energy of the old story while bringing the energy of the new story through a direct series of meridian pathways that help us to integrate it into ourselves.
The Medical QiGong class will be doing a special Energy Healing Clinic on this exact pathway for 3 Sundays: June 12, June 19, June 26, 2016, 12:30 – 2:00pm, cost by donation.

Where's the Mind-Spirit Part??

I've noticed something disturbing lately. It's been going on for a very long time, but it just came strongly into my conscious awareness recently. So I'm going to vent about if for a moment.


There's a stereotype, if you will, in the natural health community, about Western Medicine that all you do is take a pill to relieve the uncomfortable symptoms you are experiencing. The stereotype usually continues that 'how is this healing if you aren't getting to the root cause of the symptoms'?

I have been listening to and watching discussions about natural or alternative methods of healing. The disturbing part is, that all too often I see someone describe their physical symptoms and some other natural minded person advises an herb or a vitamin or avoiding a variety of foods to (cure) or take the symptoms away.

How is this any different from the stereotype of what Western medicine is doing? It's the same thing, but with a "natural" pill.

I would love to start hearing and seeing more discussions that include the emotional aspects involved, attitudes that are stuck, reasons the person's life isn't happy.

The physical symptoms are only 1/3 of the mind-body-spirit connection! Let's get to the attitude mindsets that need to be changed and how to do that. Let's explore REAL lifestyle adjustments and how they can be made. What challenges are involved in these changes and how does someone overcome and work through them to achieve success, and how does this correlate to the relief of their physical symptoms?

Let's hungrily acknowledge the mind-spirit part of the equation. Once this is addressed we might start getting somewhere. An herb or a vitamin or not eating white sugar is not all the answer.

Thank you for listening.
