Patients come to us expecting a change in their si

Patients come to us expecting a change in their situation—whether to gain or get rid of something. And as the 'expert' in the room, there's a proclivity to go in to find what's wrong and remediate it.

Consider that as a practitioner, your role is to inquire by touch and not impose your ideas of what is right for a patient. To touch with curiosity, listen with your hands, allow patients to express themselves in a process of self-discovery and transformation, create space for expressing their Jing (精), and make available the quiet comfort of no expectations. For this, our guest on this Qiological episode recommends we lend our consciousness or awareness to the landscape. Hone your attention to what is there, to the present moment.

In this conversation with Stephen Schleipfer, we explore the concepts of intention and attention and how they impact the palpatory experience. We discuss the importance of bringing our attention to the causative space, the practice of self-cultivation, connecting our particulars to the whole, and learning to connect and let go as vehicles to transform our practice.

Listen in to this discussion on the key role of palpation, the use of attention in the clinical encounter, and working in the causative space.

The fundamentals root our practice. The basics we learn in the beginning never go away but deepen with experience. This is why Chinese medicine practitioners can communicate with each other regardless of lineage or method, as we share common parlance. The fundamentals of yin yang, the motion of the five phases, and the ways excess & deficiency help us to understand the root of a person's problem. At the core, we all share the fundamentals.

Last year I sat down with Rob Helmer for a conversation about "The Pernicious Influence of Depressive Heat," Qi224. We explored how mastery is mastery of the basics and how the pernicious influence of depressive heat often underlies many chronic conditions. Still, it's easy to overlook it in our clinical practice.
