Should this flow become affected by say, drought, flood or pollutants, then changes occur which may well threaten the river's integrity, its course, its inhabitants. The body, which is inextricably bound to mind, thrives on patent flows, whether of foods, fluids, nerve impulses, blood and so on. Disturbances to this flow result in 'obstruction' and sooner or later, the emergence of 'pain'. In many pathologies, pain is seen as a definite signal of localized obstruction, often termed 'stagnation'. One of the very striking effects of acupuncture is that of restoring normal flow through 'dispersal' techniques.   Contact Michael | © AustralianAcupuncture.com 2002 I About AustralianAcupuncture.com

This is not a linear concept and is at first glance, paradoxical.
