In “NEI JING KNOWN WEN” which is one of the principal guns of traditional Chinese medicine, he is written: “The diseases recognize external causes and interns. In the number of the internal causes the emotions appear ..... They disturb the circulation of the IQ”.

  For us Western, the concept of emotional is in fact rather fuzzy. When one speaks about it, everyone knows, but actually, nobody knows really what it is. One speaks about stress, these are a quite practical hold-all, but which wants nothing to say. The emotional one also disturbs for the good reason which it implies personally the individual. Wise said one day: “To deal with the others it is well, but to deal with oneself it is still better”

  Each individual will show more or less important emotional characteristics, and this as of the birth, which us, we call features “of character”. In Chinese medicine, the emotional one is related to the bodies. The emotional one can be presented in positive” or “negative” form a “. It should be heard, by “negative”, the fact that this emotional aspect will disturb the body corresponding, whereas the “positive” side will balance it. When one presents emotional aspects “negative”, the important thing is not to deny them, but rather to recognize them. There are all of them, and it is not degrading. If one speaks about anxiety, of fear, much of people take that in a pejorative direction, and reject it, it is as if they were offended. One can go from an emotional aspect “negative” towards an emotional aspect “positive”, that works oneself, it is not easy, one needs determination, will, tenacity, patience. But the step is desirable. 

  The emotional aspect “negative” is a basic state which is present of each one, without to be expressed in a permanent way. It can appear spontaneously following a” incident of life “, anger, anxiety for example, and disappear then when the problem is regulated, or to persist in the event of nonresolution of the conflict, or even perdurer, until being expressed in a form of chronicity in the event of incapacity of the person to even manage itself she, in the most serious cases (hyperanxiété, depression…). Certain causes starting these emotional states are very subtle. Certain people will present one emotional aspect “negative”, and others will present 2, 3 of them, the 4… ones will be closer to balance than the others.

  To retain: the emotional one is not a factor worsening but well one of the causes major of not occurred of a great number of pathologies (by acido-basic imbalance that it entraine +++). I repeat myself, but it is of primary importance.

             EMOTIONS AND BODIES  

• The Liver -

   - the negative emotion of the liver is anger, frustration, irritability, susceptibility 

         Definition: State of contrariety compared to something or to somebody which does not do what you, you want that it makes.

  In fact, one says that anger is the emotional state of the liver, but I think that one should rather speak about contrariety. It is indeed starting from this state of contrariety that one observes two categories of reaction: 

1. the first category will be described by a true anger, frank, impulsive.
2. the second category will live that like a frustration very major, very intense, and very often without expressing it; exacerbated susceptibility. 

   - the positive emotion is the kindness.

• The Gall bladder -

  It defines bileux people.

          Definition: S.E. to make concern in advance by imagining that negative events inevitably will occur.

• The Heart -

   - the negative emotion is hatred, the resentment, nonthe recognition, impatience. They are “the grousers”. They are often people who do not support the” apparent injustices “. But one always does not know holding them and the outcomes of this injustice. Many authors quote the joy like emotion, I think that one should speak about excess of the pleasures, of negative passions.

   - the positive emotion is the love, kindness, clearness, the gift of oneself. 

• The Spleen and the Pancreas -   

   - the negative emotion is the anguish, the anxiety.

          Definition: Ressassement, too much reflexion. As soon as a problem, a situation turn in the head without leading to the concrete one, in an action, you are in anxiety. You can cogiter without same giving an account of it to you, because it can be a question of a process belonging to your everyday life, but in a background of your life and even more your subconscious (the drafts of your house, management in your work). It is often a subtle level.

  The anxious one is thus in general somebody who is posed many questions, which poses many questions, which discusses unceasingly. It is always in defense, it cannot slacken, but on another side, there cannot remain quiet. It is hyperactive. It likes to deal with the others. It is very often insomniac. It tolerates the pain very badly, and instead of remaining calm, there moves without stop to seek a position of comfort and increases, so its problem. This exacerbation of the pain makes that its physical feelings are distorted, it perceives its body little. The large anxious ones are very difficult to treat and there is more and more.  

   - the positive emotion is confidence, in a direction of absolute. When one is in confidence, one does not put any more questions one takes the things from day to day as they come.

  All that does not prevent the reflexion, but once again is needed that that results in a decision, an action and what one cannot concretize, one forgets it.

• Lungs -

   - the negative emotion is the melancholy, sadness, the depression.  

   - the positive emotion is the joy in life, the joy of being, enthusiasm.

• Kidneys -

   - negative emotion is the fear, in all its forms: existential fear, fear badly of making, fear not of not arriving there, fear of the others .....

   - positive emotion is courage, boldness.
