The body also has "rhythms." Everyone is familiar with the rhythms of the
blood pulse and respiration. There are others, but before I get to them,
some additional information about blood pulse. When Western trained doctors
check blood pressure, only one "pulse" is used to measure blood pressure,
heart rate and signs of irregular rhythms. In traditional Eastern medicine,
there are twelve pulses - six on each wrist, three superficial and three
deep. They not only measure pulse rates but also qualities of the various
pulses. Chinese and Ayuervedic practitioners can tell a whole lot more from
pulse diagnostics than is even dreamed possible by Western Allopathic
doctors.
As for other rhythms, one is the lymphatic system. Lymph moves through
the body in a series of waves. One of the reasons I push Lymphatic Drainage
Therapy as developed and taught by Bruno Chikly through the Upledger
Institute (as opposed to other manual lymphatic drainage methods) is that
Chikly not only teaches that the system produces waves, he teaches how to
feel it. The others don't. Another rhythm is the Craniosacral Rhythm
produced by the movement of the cerebral spinal fluid through the spinal
column between the cranium and the sacrum. This, too, can be felt.
