Grazie. Sto scrivendo un articolo sulla versione femminile di questo fenomeno durante il parto. La medicalizzazione del parto è spiritualmente dannosa.
This was really good and I'm very glad you recommended me to read it. Do you have any other book recommendations besides Thinking Body Dancing Mind, maybe something more related to the European tradition? I'm a kickboxer and used to do jiu-jitsu, and while I feel I've got a strong mindset I don't personally compete, and would like to enhance my training so that the benefits of ritual carry over into my daily life and my writings here. Great article again.
Michael Tierra is amazing for understanding the energetic properties of herbs and the constitutions of people… many herbal treatments have various properties that could work better or worse with various constitutions so it’s not like a one for one of this herb always works for this ailment but more is a rebalancing of the persons imbalances in addition to an accuse issue. He uses Chinese medicine concepts and applies them to Ayurvedic, European, Amerindian, and other herbal systems that have lost integrative aspects. The Way of Herbs is an amazing start if that’s what you’re interested in.
If you are talking just really good books for warrior healing arts I would say A Tooth from the Tigers Mouth by Tom Bisio is one I’ve used the most… another book I love of his is A Pearl from the Dragon’s Neck but it’s more advanced stuff.
For basic first aid I have used Yunnan Baiyao both internally for stop hemorrhaging and externally to circumvent the need for stitches or stop bleeding from a cut. After the scab forms with yunnan, comfrey heals it up fast. Like faster than you would think possible. There are various types of bruise juice (dit da jao) for different types of injuries. I highly recommend buying from plum dragon for that and herbal ice. Herbal ice circumvents the need for actual ice which inhibits healing so there are even soaks I’ve used for ligament issues that can be heated and increase healing rates by increasing circulation simultaneously lower inflammation. Ching Wan Hung is amazing for burns of any type from having a friend accidentally open her giant grill into the back of my arm causing a second degree burn (I will rarely go to the hospital for anything and I still stayed for the meat lol) to sunburns.
Well I know in most traditional martial systems that are still in tact, they practice group healing techniques after sparring. For men, vasopressin increases a ton in martial training if they are doing so with others so it’s inherently bond forming… more for creating Männerbund bonds than individually increasing training.
On the individual level… Visualization before primes the synapses for anything you will do. During action bringing your full awareness into the action increases the mind body connection and decreases injury. After, various herbs for healing in conjunction with massage or other soft tissue work like scraping will help to heal faster and improve athletic performance. I’ve read a lot into tcm and herbalism and use it in general.
Just hanging around after practice and speaking with one another is spiritually healing. It's a lost form of bonding in the modern age, especially amongst men. I've come to know a guy pretty well just by training as hard as he does and not being afraid to spar him (he's the best in our small gym despite being so young). Now we're pretty good friends and starting to do things outside the gym.
I'll have to start visualizing and looking into those books you recommended. Idk about you but the best way to treat injuries is to never get injured in the first place and I've been pretty alright in this regard. But it always helps to know just in case. And to enrich your cultural knowledge
That’s awesome. Training for men is supposed to be a bonding practice and healing arts go hand in hand with martial arts. Maybe you two can start some type of fraternity around training with others at your gym… or start to get friends to go that don’t.
With hormesis there actually is a benefit to injury. Part of limb conditioning (like kicking and hitting hard things) strengthens bone and soft tissue. Lifting weights literally is breaking down the muscle to grow new muscle, like small rips in the muscle itself. Also even larger injuries are part of growth and getting outside of your comfort zone. Injury teaches you resilience through your ability to heal, fortitude in the face of hard things, and increases your willingness to take risks. Playing it too safe is not going to truly develop the person, especially men.
Articolo molto interessante.
