Where on Earth?

It was all Yellow...

In the Five Element Tradition of Chinese Medicine we look for signs of what elements are speaking to us through color, sound, odor, and emotion. We use this to diagnose patients. Recently, I experienced the most dramatic case of an element speaking through color in my life. My patient, we will call him Ian, was experiencing semi-frequent anxiety attacks, loose colorful stools, and a difficulty eating. After taking pulses and doing the TD, we decided he was a Fire/Water CF, but there was something else crying out: the Earth. Beginning a year ago, his stomach issues started to arise. Also, an incredible onset of an obsession for the color yellow. He started wearing a lot of it, his myspace avatar is just yellow, and he was emitting a white/yellow from his face. The treatment revolved around treating his Earth (stomach/spleen) and finishing using Fire source points. The next day he experienced what some would call a healing crisis. Currently, he is on the road being completely rooted once again. Now go listen to Coldplay..."yellow."
