Hi all,

I'm wondering whether any knows what this experience (of a friend)
means.

"I was just standing there doing the dishes, and it felt like the
ground
under my left leg went down [earlier she had said it felt as tho the
ground
was shaking]. I was kind of hoping it was an earthquake, that other
people
were feeling the same thing. i looked at the kids, and they
obviously
didn't feel anything. my head felt kind of warm, but that might
have just
been fear. It lasted about two minutes. I went and sat down, and
told the
girls to call 911 if I started talking weird." (She thought perhaps
she had
a stroke; has an aunt who died of a stroke at the same age that she
is now
[48].) Once the experience passed, and since then (it was
yesterday), she
says she feels entirely normal, but a bit nervous about what it was.

Any thoughts???
You're describing what we refer to as 'wind'. It is that
environmental factor which when manifested in the body is a
pathogenic factor. Its energetic is movement. ??Did the individual
experience nausea, have any spontaneous perspiration, experience a
desire to go to the bathroom, have a sense of light headedness, any
affect on the vision, any affect on the mental facility, any sense
of dryness of the eyes, palpatations, under any particular stress
factors in their life's circumstance at the moment, any general
conditions of dryness in the body as in skin, head hair, nails,
stool, description of menses??

Hi,

I did try to ask for *anything* else that had come along with it, but the
only other thing she thought of was "my head felt warm, but that might have
just been fear". I don't think I understand what you mean by, "It is that
environmental factor which when manifested in the body is a pathogenic
factor." What would the environmental factor be???

Thanks,
Shannon

In oriental medicine we utilise the energetic description of
environmental factors as pathogenic factors when they manifest in
the body. They are heat, cold, dryness, dampness, and wind. Each
has its own distinctive qualities. Heat promotes, cold stagnates,
dampness impairs, dryness consumes, wind moves.
