This explanation would complement Peat's stress theory of disease nicely. Another interesting complementary dimension is added by Lawrence Wilson's idea of directional energy, in which downward energy flow corresponds with parasympathetic activity and upward flow with sympathetic activity. Indeed, it seems that pulling energy down to the feet and hands so that they begin to tingle, as well as relaxing the body and slowing down the breathing combine into a powerful self-reinforcing trinity. Doing them all together calms the body and feels very pleasurable. A 30 minute session of this often leaves me feeling incredibly sane, joyful and calmly focused, moreso than doing any of them separately.
Thanks for this interesting post. How does one "pull energy down to the feet and hands"?
