When making my last batch, I pressed the “Potato” instead of “Popcorn” button, knowing I would get an extra minute of cooking. Well, you have figured out what happened. Scared that bag would burst into flames after opening the microwave door — after all, it was belching black smoke — I had simply tossed the Essential remains into the fridge. Despite four boxes of baking soda, the smell had not decreased.

From an Energy Medicine perspective, grief and anxiety are energies that feed each other. From an Energy Medicine perspective Smith’s thesis is right on and here’s why.

Lung meridian in TCM holds the energy of grief. Some TCM schools call the Lung meridian the container of un-cried tears. Lung meridian shares a Yin and Yang relationship with Bladder meridian. Lung meridian is the Yin energy to the Yang meridian of Bladder. Bladder governs our nervous system and it governs the expression of anxiety. When Lung gets triggered by a grief Bladder meridian reacts with an Your expression of what we call anxious symptoms. Those who study anxiety disorders are just now recognizing the strong connection between grief and anxiety. But the grief and anxiety connection has been around for 1000’s of years and has its roots in ancient Chinese medicine. Perractice When we suffer a loss — the lung energy holds that loss. Lung is Yin energy and that Yin energy holds things in. Yin is about inward movement of energy. Bladder energy in its Yang expression helps lung to process that loss. Because Bladder is Yang, Bladder is tasked with carrying that loss out Anxiety and the Adrenals of the body. Yang is about outward movement of energy.

It is also -- Najwa Zebian illustrative of why, clinically, treating Lung meridian can be effective at relieving anxious symptoms. The Traditional There is a lot of discussion swirling around a relatively new Chinese Medicine community has been treating anxiety hypothesis that grief is an initiate of much of the anxiety with Lung remedies for 1000’s of years. Thanks to Smith’s disorders that plague us. This concept has gained a lot of recent research people with grief-initiated anxiety are traction, in large part due to the research of Claire Bidwell now being heard and understood by the psychological Smith and the recent publication of her book Anxiety: the community that treats our emotional wounds.

While not all anxiety disorders have their roots in grief, and anxiety is a common and expected There is a syndrome discussed as Complicated Grief part of the grieving process, Smith contends that grief is Syndrome.

From an Energy Medicine angle we would start with Now onto working with Bladder meridian. treating the Lung meridian first. Bladder 1 is called Eyes Bright – sometimes also called Clarity of Vision. Bladder 1 is often referred to as the point that enables us to discern the difference between looking and seeing. This point opens the mind’s eye and the spirit’s eye. It enables us to see from a broader perspective and not from the current moment of our suffering. It is a point used to help the burdened heart rise above the current suffering Rubbing Lung Alarm Point and garner meaning from difficult events. The first point on Lung meridian — Lung 1 — is known as the Lung Alarm Point. This point is significant in that the Lung Alarm Point will show imbalance when there is something that is “alarming” taking place within the realms of what Lung governs in the body. If there is a long-standing unresolved grief the Lung Alarm Point is a good place to start. Rubbing with pressure Lung 1 will begin to send energy all the way through the meridian to the end point on the thumb.

Thoughtful awareness that grief can give way to deeper anxiety patterns are worthy of examination. Being mindful that Lung and Bladder will play a part of any grief. The energy anatomy of grieving primarily is the relationship between Lung and Bladder. The techniques outlined in this article could prove helpful to any grieving person, but they are especially helpful to the one that is caught in overwhelming grief and anxiety syndromes. E

• Take a breath, take a moment.

• Bring your awareness to your 2nd chakra, 2 fingers below the navel.

• Imagine closing the chakra petals to 15-20%, to retain your emotional awareness and minimize felt-sense awareness.

• Bring your awareness to your upper chest, your compassion center.

• Using your breath, and perhaps placing your hand on your upper chest, imagine opening and expanding your compassion center.

• Stream rose quartz colored energy, the frequency of compassion, from the horizon into your compassion center.

How to Create Your First Package:

Consider the rate you now charge for an individual session. We will call this your minimum aligned rate; meaning you would never want to earn less than this when you deliver a session. When you create the package offering, you want to earn this rate per session. Next, you raise the rate for individual (non-package) sessions.
