Thoughts on EFT?

[Wackoz]

I'm not sure I've made myself clear:

Me: Strange flows are one explanation for that.
You: Sounds far fetched.
Me: No more far fetched than the rest of Chinese medicine.
You: Actually, TCM isn't far fetched.

Ok then. Strange flows are part of TCM. Which you agree isn't far fetched. So we have a possible explanation for part of the study you mentioned.

Got me, there.

Now I'll have to ask the TCM guys about these "strange flows" and learn more about it.

[Mutt for the Truth]

One type of "strange flow" is Qi that flows the wrong way (qi-ni or "rebellious" qi), for example, stomach qi that travels up, resulting in nausea and vomiting. Seforum.xxxnant qi/blood is a disharmony where the qi or blood doesn't flow smoothly, hangs up or is excess or insufficient to flow.

Some practices that have roots in chinese medicine, attempt to translate the concepts into western ideas... thus you have inadequate explanations for very complex concepts - such as "strange flow," or "weak blood."

Here's what Eden says in Energy Medicine:

Where the strange flows can travel anywhere, the meridians have beaten a path to the organs they serve. Even though the strange flows have been around longer, the meridians have more form, so they were mapped earlier. When the Chinese sages later detected an energy that connected the body's energy systems but did not flow along the meridian lines, it must have seemed strange to them--hence the name. They also called them "curious conduits".... ...they are so responsive to what a person intuits or thinks. If you think about a particular place in your body, strange flow energy instantly moves there.

I've heard the term "curious conduit" but never studied it. Very interesting.
