Communication
We speak to each other so that we can convey how and what we are feeling. When we do this, we give our body and it's feelings a way to move and be expressed. If we do not give voice to these physical, emotional, or mental feelings, than suppression results in blocked energy. This is why we call friends, go to counselors, talk to relatives, feel the need to scream, laugh, moan, groan, etc. We need to move energy when it moves or slows within us.
My favorite aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments is that a portion of every treatment is spent talking. This time is used to catch up on how you are feeling, what is going on in your life, and what your concerns/desires for treatment are. More time is spent talking if you need it, or less time if you want to get right in to treatment.
