Chapter 3 - Three stages of a healing crisis


Three stages of a healing crisis 


Generally, a healing crisis has the following three stages :

Looking for (potential) illnesses.
When Qi flow is hindered by greater resistance of blockages in the body and cannot go through a problem area, it will automatically find an alternative route to go around it. Such a process will repeatedly kick in when the Qi encounters other blockages at the alternative routes.

These continuous attempts can help the body clear up the less serious problems, while revealing more serious ones which the body has yet to gather enough strength to expel.

Revealing illnesses.
In the first stage, most of the meridians would have been cleansed. The Paida and Lajin self-healing process will enhance Qi flow in either parts of the body or the whole. This will enable the recharged body to focus on and clear the remaining identified problems. As a result, symptoms of various health problems will worsen, after which follows the revelation of all sorts of sicknesses.

This is the stage when the body is fighting against sicknesses, and it is also the most critical one. During this process, the body will get lousy, and the symptoms will aggravate. If you were to do a medical check-up then, the test results would most likely indicate a temporary state of abnormalities. That is why this stage is always dubbed as the “dà sǐ dà huó” (大死大活, death and revival) stage indeed, to some extent, this is the darkness before dawn breaks. Unfortunately, many fail to understand this healing cycle and give up on Paida and Lajin half way through. One must understand that without going through this dire state of suffering, it is impossible to embrace new lease of life, let alone the effects of “body overhaul” and “rejuvenation”.

Beating illnesses
After Qi’s repeated attempts to go through the problem areas and with greater intensity of Paida and Lajin, the body’s energy gets continually boosted. Under the constant pressure of stronger Qi flow, the problems (appearing in the form of Sha) will gradually recede and eventually disappear. At the same time, patients will feel their various sicknesses subsiding and eventually going away.

Clearing clouds about the healing crisis
The Qi flow follows a law of its own. And the process does not change course according to an individual’s perception or will. As a result, Paida and Lajin may cause anxiety in those who do not understand how they work. Some may even mistakenly think that the newfound illnesses/symptoms are caused by Paida and Lajin. In actual fact, such revelations are the desired effects of Paida and Lajin, which facilitate the Qi flow to detect known sicknesses as well as unknown ones in the body. And one cannot just tackle where the problems are, but need to have the body go through a comprehensive healing process. Only then can such a process be considered complete overhaul of the body. 


This process will tackle the following three types of sicknesses:

1. Past sicknesses
This refers to past illnesses of which some may have been cured long ago. However, the injuries caused by such illnesses may have not been healed properly as a result of subsequent changes to the body’s organic structure (for instance, joints of an operated injury) which are left unnoticed. As a result, the meridian blockages at these specific spots may not allow the Qi to pass through easily and this normally leads to soreness at the old injuries and other complications related to the past sicknesses.

2. Existing sicknesses
This refers to illnesses that you are aware of. When the Qi hits right at the problem areas, one has to suffer more severe symptoms.

3. Future sicknesses
Future sicknesses fall into three types :
Existing illnesses that are left undetected due to lack of obvious symptoms;
Illnesses that do not manifest many symptoms at the early stage (e.g. weakening kidney, pancreas, etc.);
Potential illnesses that might break out in future.

Despite the fact that we might not know of the existence of these sicknesses in the body or that they even cannot be traced, one gets to feel their presence when healing crises occur.

To conclude, for those who want to achieve their personal health goal through Paida and Lajin, experiencing healing crises is an important step towards regaining health. Only when this stage is gone through, can one get healed from all past and existing sicknesses and be more assured of his/her future health.
