pray, sing, chant, laugh, cry

 

 

pray,sing,chant,laugh,cry:

my ailing wuxing once more

mistaken for bliss

 

 

Wuxing: the 'five phases'of Chinese medical theory where each major organ expresses corresponding emotions. The more problems with a particular organ, the more extreme the emotion.

father rickshaw, mom geisha...

all need some guasha...

 

(guasha: a Chinese bodywork modality less famous in the West than acupuncture and quite a bit simpler but every bit as efficient in some cases or even more so, especially useful for dispersing physical and emotional blockages, performed with jade and water buffalo horn tools. I've learned it from an OMD.)
