Emotions - not only psychology

Between a body and reason there is a close interrelation. Intellectual processes consume energy and consequently can quite affect on health. Mentions of reason influence on a body meet already in the Old-Chinese classical medical treatise under the name "the Classical treatise on internal medicine of the Yellow Emperor", written two thousand years ago. Emotional problems - not simply psychological; they originate both in psychology, and in physiology. In other words, they do not arise "from a head", but are formed by all body. Weekly visit to the psychotherapist is only one of ways of the decision of emotional problems, and not always to the best as the psychotherapist can quite not find a problem root if it has arisen on physiological soil.


For example, if the person is easily irritated, the reason of it can be covered in weakness which the Chinese medicine names weakness of system of a liver. That is why attentive and the careful altitude to liver system is capable to facilitate the given problem. In the same way the excessive anxiety can be caused in some people frustration of system of digestion so to treat it will be necessary it, instead of uneasy conditions. The western medicine though has come to deeper comprehension of interrelation between emotions and health, nevertheless is substantially concentrated to the general intellectual and emotional conditions, not paying sufficient attention to steady features of mutual relations between concrete corporal functions and certain emotional displays. The Chinese medicine, on the contrary, realises already many millenia link between emotions and health and co-ordinates certain emotional conditions to infringements of some physiological processes.

Between five basic negative emotions (rather interesting interrelation which is illustrated well by the theory of Five Elements exists a rage, euphoria, anxiety, grief and fear). As these emotions are connected with certain elements, they can be operated the same as also other elements concerning corresponding elements.

To each of elements there corresponds certain emotion, internal body and a sound.

If to consider ways of interconversion of emotions it will appear, that a rage euphoria - to anxiety conducts to euphoria, anxiety - to grief, grief - to fear which, in turn, leads again to a rage.
