Releasing anger with acupunture

as a long-term patient who started with extreme liver stress, i first had to learn to tell the difference between what i now call mental or emotional anger -- anger arising from my ideas and sense of how reality should be -- and what i call physiologic anger -- my body's cries for help when i've depleted my reserves by continually using my emergency systems without rebuilding when there's no emergency.

we live in a culture that has no realistic idea of how human bodies should be nurtured and used. as a result we tend to misread the signals, sometimes with devastating results for ourselves and those around us. i had over-used my body so badly that the emotional aspects of anger were far easier for me to deal with than the physiologic.

the first step with this was to slow down my mind enough to check and see if the emotion or the reason came first. whenever we feel an emotion, our first reaction is to look for a reason. but when our bodies are asking us for help, sometimes the emotion is the only language they can speak. there is no other reason. as an aspect of damage control, i developed some strategies -- comic postures and nonsense words -- to make my temper look as ridiculous as it was. it warned family and friends to stay out of my way until things could calm down inside me. it also reminded me to not take my ideas about what was happening so seriously and helped reduce stress that would have kept physicologic problems going longer.

herbs were an essential part of the solution for me. they backed up the acupuncture to keep things moving faster than acupuncture alone would have done. treatments didn't make my temper worse, and they didn't make it disappear. they gradually made me feel stronger inside. over time i became able to recognize how to take better care of myself and not over-use my body so badly. feeling better, mind more clear, i gradually learned to express myself in ways that made more room for what was right for me instead of being so easily bullied by externals. i also learned to more fully recognize my own real desires and needs and to be less influenced by the cultural and workplace pressures around me. i found ways to keep people off my back and to not push just because it was the thing to do.

because my condition was so extereme, it took years for me to get where i wanted to go. judging from what you wrote, your condition is just the tip of the kind of iceberg i had made for myself. if you are fortunate enough to find a top quality practitioner, it could be well worth your effort to go the whole distance with traditional oriental medicine. the experience of embodied wellness it offers is outside of and beyond anything i had grown up in this country to expect.

LIVER 1 AND SPLEEN 1 COMPLETLY SOLVE THE ANGER PROBLEM

Am not sure if I understand the question right, but from how I understand it I would say Baihui Du 20 and Dazhui Du 14

what two points have the most internal connections to other meridians?
