Hi All,
Health TCM chapter 3: Kidney-network
As we have seen in Spleen and Lung networks, there are three types of patterns, so has the Kidney network:
1) Harmonic pattern
2) Collapsed pattern
3) Exaggerated pattern
Harmonic pattern also often refers as the Way of the Tao; we try to achieve the Balance of Life to achieve the maximum life-time.
In Bazi it could refer to the Day Master as a reference of its strength, Weak or Strong in TCM it has some similarities. If you deepened in Bazi you will notice that the Theory of TCM quite similar with the Basics of Bazi. You could use both Theories to decode charts; you will see how amazing it correlates with each other.
In this topic I am upgrading the difficulties of decoding and I am using two examples:
- Collapsed Kidney network (Christy Mihos: DOB 13 June 1949, 13:57 pm)
- Exaggerated Kidney network (Stephen Stills: DOB 3 Jan 1945, 24:15 pm)
Again some repeated Basics:
Immune system conflict refers to the Basics:
1) Earth-combo: Xu, Chou and Wei
2) Fire-combo: Yin, Shen and Si
3) One or two elements chart
4) Pin and/or Season clash
5) HS and EB conflict
Some basics TCM of the Kidney-Network:
Role:
- Generates and stores Essence
- Governs reproduction and growth
- Balances fluids anchors Qi
Viscera:
- Kidney
- Bladder
Tissues:
- Ovaries, Testes, Brain, Spinal Cord, Spinal Column
- Bones, Bone marrow, teeth, pubic and head hair
- Inner ear, pupil of the eye, anus and urethra
Fluids and Secretions:
- Sexual secretions
- Cerebrospinal fluid
Domination by the Kidney particularly stirs conflict with the Heart (Fire) and Spleen (Earth). The Yin nature of the Kidney is characterized by Coldness and Moisture. Excess of Yin dampens the Fire of the Heart and the digestive Fire of the Stomach and Spleen. The Kidney rules the Lower body as the Heart and Lung rule the Upper region.
As you could see in the picture about the Water: Kidney Patterns, there are three patterns:
1) Harmonic. In the Harmonic Kidney pattern, the Lung and Liver maintain stability while the Heart and Spleen provide the tension necessary for movement and adaptation.
2) Exaggerated. In the Exaggerated Kidney Pattern, the Lung and Liver become hyperactive and the Heart and Spleen become hypersensitive and erratic.
3) Collapsed. In the Collapsed Kidney pattern, the Lung and Liver become drained and weakened while the Heart and Spleen become overbearing and congested.
