Thoughts become things? 9. Quantum Medicine
There is a saying, “Even if you enter a tiger’s den, you will survive as long as you keep your wits about you.” Here, spirit (精神) is an abbreviation for Jeonggishin (精气神), meaning to prepare the body, mind, and energy together.
There is a saying, “Don’t lose your mind,” which is based on string theory, that is, the universe is not made up of elementary particles, but something smaller than that exists in the form of a string, and all things in the world are created and move (non-matter makes matter). This is the theory expressed in one word.
The basis of Oriental medicine is diagnosis and treatment based on the essence of energy. Modern medicine is trying to overcome the limitations of Western medicine by recently introducing a paradigm called quantum medicine. Quantum medicine is comprised of biomedicine that deals with the body, energy medicine that deals with the energy field, and mind that deals with the mind. It is a medicine that deals with mind medicine and is also called holistic medicine or integrated medicine.
This is a medical system that is exactly the same as Oriental medicine, which diagnoses and prescribes based on Jeonggi-shin (精气神). While modern medicine is localized, doctor-centered, and only searches for causes and diagnoses the physical body, Oriental medicine and Western quantum medicine are integrated, patient-centered, and medical systems that take the spirit and spirit into consideration.
Modern medicine, which has grown based on a materialistic perspective since the father of Western medicine, Hippocrates, said, “Diagnose while considering the patient’s soul” and “What kind of person one is is more important than what kind of disease it is,” entered the 21st century. For the first time in over a thousand years, the concept of Jeonggi Shin in Oriental medicine was once again recognized and medicine was discussed as a model.
We have looked at the topic of mind and matter from eight levels. The fundamental question about life is “Do the body and soul exist separately? Or does the soul also disappear with the disappearance of the body?” It will be a problem. There is still no confirmation as to whether the soul will exist after death, but modern science has accurately proven that the mind exists separately from the body, at least while we live in this world, and that immaterial things affect material things, and we ourselves live in this world. I would like to conclude by saying that the experience is possible in.
From now on, I would like to share information focusing on the theories and practices of Oriental medicine that are consistent with the perspective of “I heal my body.”
