Xin Fa - Heart Method of Medicine



Health depends on a deep connection to life, to the
source of vitality.  In our quest to help, to relieve symptoms, to
get results, to perfect our techniques, this simple truth becomes
overshadowed by our efforts to become a better practitioner.



Focusing only on technique, only on results, what is the real outcome as we develop our skills?  



If we are successful in our techniques then we may see quicker symptom relief. But is that all there is to it? 





What if there was another way to approach medicine?
 A way that begins with the quiet space inside, the place of knowing
before words, the subtle impetus before each worldly action.



In finding this space inside ourselves, we rest in a
calm and nurturing state that sustains us in our practice, fills us
with hope for our patients' recovery, and gives us the language and
the understanding to practice from a place of deep wisdom.  We access
the wellspring of knowledge that sustained our ancestor
practitioners, compelling us to develop into the future from an
unshakable foundation.





Practicing with Xinfa heart method means
less external doing, less activity, less busy-ness.  Through
this deeper place inside we then connect with our patients.  In
this way, less is required in order to achieve more; more efficacy,
more results.  Joining our patients in the discovery of the heart, we
are both guide and fellow traveler.  The humbling journey reveals to
us the enormous capacity of each individual, and the meaning of what
it is to truly heal.


Topic: Xinfa (heart method) is an
important aspect of Chinese medicine healing. A true powerful healing
cannot take place if the heart is not cured. In this exciting
conference, Hunyuan and Huai Xuan medicine principles will be shared
with an emphasis on Xinfa Heart Medicine. Participants will also learn
Hunyuan Taijiquan 12 forms and Hunyuan Qigong 12 forms.

Dr. Seidman will discuss Hunyuan medicine principles and Hunyuan Xinfa as well as Hunyuan Qigong.

Xinfa (heart method) and fertility


Infertility in modern times is viewed as a physical
obstruction of some sort, it may be ovarian function dysfunction,
endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes, high FSH hormones, low AMH
hormone, low sperm count, fibroids, cysts etc. After visiting an IVF
clinic the impression left with the infertility patient is that
something in the body must be wrong and it has to be physical.


In Hunyuan medicine we recognize the vital aspects of
the physical body but we know as well that there are other things in
play, things that may lead to infertility. One of these “other” things
is called the human heart. This article talks about the aspect of
infertility that is caused by the Human Heart.


In Hunyuan, Human Heart is different than the physical
heart that pumps blood. It is what we call the place of dichotomy. To
understand this ‘place of dichotomy’ we need to travel back in time.
When a baby is in the womb, not born out to the world yet, his basic
dichotomy (explained shortly down the article) does not discharge yet.
When the baby comes out to the world his Human Heart starts a rhythm
of dichotomy, he ‘likes’ things and ‘dislikes’ other things. This
‘like and dislike’ we call a basic dichotomy. It is an innate instinct
every living being has. This dichotomy has a survival effect; with it
I can protect myself and nurture my life. When I see or feel
something beneficial to my life ‘I like it’ and in contrast when I see
something dangerous to my life ‘I dislike it’ (think of food and a
cobra snake staring at me, which one would you like?).


As soon as the baby comes out to the world, the
dichotomy cracks up, or divides, and therefore the baby can do 1 inhale
and 1 exhale, otherwise without it, the baby remains like inside the
womb with no inhale and no exhale. From this cracking up of the
dichotomy the emotions rise. For example, when a baby is hungry he
‘likes’ milk, if milk is not coming to his mouth when he ‘likes’ it then
he starts ‘disliking’ the situation and he becomes angry. This
emotion helps him move his body to attract the mother’s attention, and
then he gets his milk. When he gets his milk the emotion stops, the
‘like’ is fulfilled, the ‘dislike’ is no more. If he would continue to
cry the mother will push him away from her, trying to find out what
else is wrong. From this initial example one can contemplate the
meaning of the basic dichotomy.


The basic dichotomy off course becomes complicated as
we grow up and are influenced by a myriad of factors, the extent of
which is beyond the scope of this article. Here we focus on the Human
Heart and fertility. In order to live a baby needs this dichotomy. It is
a part of the human existence. When it goes wrong a person easily
becomes sick and when it works well a person easily feels happy and
healthy.


Modern ART (advance reproductive technologies)
suggest that infertility is always a problem stemming from the material
of the body, from the physical body. The question then rises how come
nearly 50% of all infertility couples go unexplained with ART? How
come many infertility patients, even if diagnosed and have a physical
reason, still do not succeed with IVF (in vitro fertilization) and
other advanced technologies? The unlikely answer is that IVF is still a
primitive technology. It is rather more likely that modern ART ignores
some aspects of human existence that impact human fertility and
therefore unable to remedy them.


When basic dichotomy and their attached emotions are
out of order human fertility is compromised. The dichotomy is an
integral part of the human pivot (described in the book Hunyuan
Fertility: Conception, Babies and Miracles) that allows an embryo to
develop into a baby. It is part of getting the human ready for survival
in the world outside the womb. Until modern technology arrives at that
point, we can only offer in Hunyuan our Xinfa Heart method. A way of
training the Human Heart into a harmonious dichotomy, a place we
describe as ‘proper’. In this Xinfa we advocate improving the dichotomy
of the parents in order to improve the correct dichotomy in the embryo
and baby. It is the old fashion way of ‘get the parents healthy in
order to get the baby healthy’.


In reality, many ailments are caused by a Xinfa
problem. Learning about Xinfa and training the dichotomy is not only
good for fertility patients but rather for all people. Even without
being sick it is the number one method for keeping the person healthy
and happy with a long life.
