The Universe Moves with Number and Principle (Part 1) | In Conversation with Deborah Woolf

Acupuncture West London – The Podcast

Within Chinese philosophy, numerology describes a journey from the unmanifest to the manifest; a journey from the universal spark to the manifestation of Heaven and Earth, space and time; a journey that documents the creation of the five elements in Heaven, on Earth and within Man as we know and use them in practice. Today, Deborah Woolf takes us on a fascinating journey through numerology, space and time, and Wu Yun Liu Qi (Stems and Branches) – the root of five element acupuncture. In today's episode, we discuss the following:

• Yang and Yin – expansion and contraction; the clear and the turbid; spirit and form.
• Numerology within Chinese philosophy.
• Li Qi Shu – the universe moves with number, rhythm and proportion.
• The importance of the words that we use in practice and the problems that we encounter in translating the classical texts.
• Yi (oneness) and Qian (one).
• Heaven, Earth and Man vs. Heaven, Man and Earth – prenatal vs. postnatal.
• Si Fang – The Four Directions.
• Si De – The Four Heavenly Virtues.
• The Five Elements on Three Levels – Heaven, Earth and Man:
  • the five archetypes of the five elements (Heaven).
  • the five heavens (Earth).
  • the five elements (Man).
• Wu Yun Liu Qi (Stems and Branches):
  • the root of five element acupuncture.
  • space and time.
  • spirit and form – treating at a constitutional, emotional and/or physical level.
