Metal Symptoms and Conditions

Lung and Large Intestine are the organs in the Metal Element, so any conditions affecting those organs may benefit from this protocol.  Constipation, shortness of breath, Inflammatory Bowel conditions (IBS, IBD), plus Anxiety/Depression,  AutoImmune diseases and Cancer are linked to needing to strengthen your Metal.

Metal Emotions include feeling stuck, grief or sadness.

Metal is the reflective energy, looking back at your harvest (results) in reflection, and looking forward to create an inspired vision.  If your vision is inspiring, it makes letting go of anything holding you back so much easier, but it is still work.  The Large Intestine teaches us how to let go of what doesn’t serve us moving forward.  Our culture calls it feces, poop, or shit.  If you lack an inspired vision, you will desperately hang on to shit.

A healthy Metal Energy assists with this process of letting go and moving on, and helps stay focused on What Matters Most in life, which is the next best step toward your inspired vision.

Metal energy develops through validation, and the father relationship.  A father who protects feminine values protects innocence, and assures that you are OK just as you are.  Metal is hurt by punishment, control, and intimidation, which says, “you are not OK as you are.”  You must be different.

I am entirely against punishment of any kind, for the damage it does to our precious metal, the gift of God in each child.  And if children were validated, they would share their gift, not break a law.

Invalidation leads to seeking approval, and trying to fix everything for everyone, leaving you surrounded by infants.  Helpless people.

Metal controls Wood.  We use Metal Energy to keep control of what is sprouting in life, just like a lawnmower blade cuts tall grass.  It is the energy of pulling weeds that do not provide nourishment, the weeds that take as much as they can, but do not give back.  If you relate to any of that, here is how to balance your energy and heal your Metal.

Metal is your preciousness, your richness, and your What Matters Most.

Massage all these points on the left side, then the right side, doing the Conception Vessel (CV) point as a connector for both sides.

GB-37 Bright Light: A good point for bringing stability, and seeing more clearly.  It helps let go of the anger and resentment of being pushed around and controlled, even punished, instead of being taught how to follow your heart desire with clear boundaries for safety.  Instead of “you can do anything you want, let me help you get what you want.”  Honoring healthy boundaries.  “You are a pain and a problem, and I will punish you if you don’t do things my way.”  Ouch.  Then let it go.

LI-4 Union Valley:  This point has been called the opium point for its ability to relieve pain and loss and is the strongest letting go point.  It helps us process the grief of our loss of significance, which punishment and control takes from us.  The significance of being a gift from God.  Let go of what doesn’t serve your vision, and hang on to being a gift from God.

BL-67 Reaching Yin: This point reaches the connection of feminine strength and wisdom.  The courage needed to endure the pain of birthing a baby.  This point is used to turn a breech baby, to “align things” for the greatest ease and comfort possible.  And it relieves the fear that it might be true, that you are not important.  Significant.  What else needs alignment?

LU-9 Great Abyss: The most important point for lung conditions, which provide our inspiration.  Gives the vision to see into the distance and find inspiration.  It helps bridge the gap to see different perspectives.  Perhaps even the value of experiencing control, and at least the perspective of people doing their best with the resources they have.

KI-7 Recover Flow:  This point regulates fluids… blood, sweat, and tears.  And urine of course, as a kidney point.  In life, it helps to get moving again, bringing flexibility into our structure (Wood energy)  to see the positive intention behind control.  “Oh, they wanted me to be something special, and instead of allowing it and protecting it, they tried to control it.”

KI-4 Great Goblet: This point relieves psychological blocks to seeing your true beauty.  And to see that you needed “control” to spark your Creator or Sage energy.  To build or guide to something special.  Drink deeply from the goblet of Truth!

The Creator is the masculine builder or maker of things.  The Sage is the feminine wisdom that can see into the future and guide where we are heading!

CV-17 Chest Center:  Conception Vessel is the feminine Regulation, aka God connection.  In your heart lies the connection to your Creator and your Feminine Wisdom.

HT-4 Spirit Pathway; CX-5 Messenger Between: Both are very important for mental stability.  Heart 4 helps you find your way, and the Messenger Between brings peace and warmth…hope.  The only way you will know, is if you massage these points and see how you feel.

SP-5 Shang Hill:  The Metal point on the Spleen channel, the feminine half of Earth, our caretaker.  This point is calming and nourishing, increasing assimilation of trace minerals, the foot soldiers of regulation.  They keep all systems running.  Metal carves our boundaries, healthy, feminine boundaries.  Nobody left behind, the greater good, no hurting others unless innocence needs protection, and nobody will control me again…are now forged in steel.  You can be proud of who you are.
