Are all vibrations “good”?
As our reading material for this week shows vibration is not always good. It can cause bridges, buildings and freeways to collapse. It can also cause damage to our body as the problem with the Honda CR-V demonstrates. Some vibrations might even be good for one part of our body but not good for the rest of the body. This is because various parts of our body vibrate at different frequencies.
Resonance in my world
One Taiwanese researcher, Wei-Kung Wang, is studying the relationship between our circulatory system and resonance. His research shows that the main power behind our blood circulation is not from the heart as a mechanical pump. Instead the heart only serves as an instrument that sets a specific vibration for the rest of the organs. And the rest of the organs will vibrate at various frequencies that harmonize with this base frequency. And these different frequencies are the real basis of the twelve meridians described in traditional Chinese medicine. Based on this theory, Wei-Kung Wang even developed a pulse reading machine that can diagnose various illnesses. For people who are interested to know more I will pass his book around tomorrow during class.
Connections I can make between energy and Qi
I think the connection between energy and qi is vibration. As discussed in class energy expresses itself in vibration. Similarly according to Wei-Kung Wang, the “Qi” that is moving the blood in our body is not mechanical but a form of vibration. And this vibration with its multiple harmonics is also the basis for all of our meridians. If it is true it seems to suggest that qi just like energy is also a form of vibration.
