Jiang,Yan，女， 自幼体弱，1981年高考就读上海医科大学，现在美国作为一名针灸师，每天在诊疗室里给病人扎针，对每一个第一次见面的病人，我都要面对面，以毋庸置疑的语气交代如下一段话：  我同别的针灸师扎针的方法不一样。 第一，我的针全都扎在您病痛最严重那一侧对面的一侧。如果症状在右侧更严重，我的针就扎在左侧，反之亦然。那是因为我本人完全没有任何能力治好您的病，或赶走您身体的不适症状。我所能做的只不过是帮助您的身体达到一个阴阳相对平衡的状态。举个例子，在一个家庭里最大的一对阴阳是夫妻。如果这一对阴阳是平衡的，也就是说，夫妻两人没有一个太强也没有一个太弱，那么我可以保证这个家庭是相对和谐的。您的身体也是同样的情况，当您的身体处在阴阳相对平衡的状态下，身体是非常非常智慧，而且完全有能力把您的症状和疾病调好的。所以我需要您同我一起完全彻底地相信您的身体，相信自然的治愈能力。  第二，我会顺着某条经络按压寻找压痛点。在我按压的时候，请您要仔细体会，如果您感觉到哪个点有一点痛或酸、麻、胀等任何与我指压时感到的压力不同的感觉，请您马上告诉我“就在这里！”。因为在那个位置上，您的身体已经开始工作，我们只需要把针轻轻的放进去帮助一下就行了。  第三，针进去之后，我想请您马上仔细体会您身体症状的变化。这种变化包括症状位置的变化和症状严重程度的改变。我发现有时有些病人在听我反复问这个问题“你现在感觉怎么样？你的症状现在感觉怎么样？”, 会渐渐地误以为我需要一个“好的答案”, 那样可以让我的自我感觉好一点。那么，我需要明明白白地告诉您：这间诊疗室完全容不下我的“自我感觉（ego）”。我这个反复的问题是在邀请您仔细地观察您身体的变化，然后尽量回馈一个最客观的答案。因为您的觉察力能够极大程度地帮助您身体自愈的过程。 我们能不能在以上这三点达成共识？ 绝大多数病人在听清楚这几点说明之后，会非常主动地参与到他们身体自愈的过程之中，在治疗室内建立起一种医患同气、身心同气的氛围。至此，后面的工作就简单了。  My treatment style is quite different from most of the acupuncturists in the country. There are several aspects of it. First of all, I put needles on the opposite side of where the worst symptoms are. The reason behind that is that I cannot fix anything or anyone at all! All I do is to help your body reach a balance between Yin and Yang. For instance, in a family, the biggest in Yin-Yang pair is the husband and the wife. If they are balanced: nobody is too weak, and nobody is too strong, harmony arises in that family automatically, guaranteed! It is exactly the same with your body. When your body reaches the balance between Yin and Yang, your body is very smart and it really knows how to heal itself. I need you to be on board with me in fully trusting your body 100% in its ability to heal. Second, when I palpate along the channels, please pay attention and notice the points that feels tender, sore, achy, sensitive, or painful. Because those are the places where your body is already doing the work and those are the points I will put into the needles to support the body to work and heal up. Thirdly, I am looking for instant response after a needle put in, I will ask:’ do you notice any changes’. Please observe the symptom in terms of its location and severity, and give me an assessment as accurate as possible.The sole purpose to ask the question is to encourage you to observe. The better observer you are, the more you are able to help your body heal. Since I ask the question so many times during a treatment, some patients thought I need a ’good / positive answer’, so they start to make up a better number or feel bad if they could not give me a ’better number’. My ego does not belong inside these walls at all! Close your eyes, fully relaxed and feel the change in the symptoms. Do we have a deal? |
