  在門診診間裡，我們每天都在與疼痛對決。檢測報告上的數據、復健的進度、藥物的劑量，都是我們衡量康復的標準。然而，行醫久了，有時會在某些病患的眼神裡，捕捉到一種令人困惑的寂靜。 那是一種在得知病情好轉時，非但沒有鬆一口氣，反而閃過一絲抗拒與迷茫的眼神。 後來我才明白，在某些病患的潛意識裡，其實有一部分是並不想好起來的。 很多時候，無法痊癒的痼疾、反覆發作的疼痛所承載的，是無法言說的委屈與不甘心。因為內心的傷痕是看不見的，只好轉化成身體上的病痛與殘缺。 In the consulting room, our daily work is a battle against pain. We measure recovery by the numbers on investigation reports, the progress in rehabilitation, and the dosages of medication. Yet, after years in practice, I occasionally catch something confounding in the eyes of certain patients. It is a look that surfaces the moment they are told their condition is improving—not a sigh of relief, but a fleeting shadow of resistance and bewilderment. Only later did I come to understand that, deep within the subconscious of some patients, a part of them simply does not wish to get better. More often than not, chronic ailments that refuse to heal and recurrent pains carry a weight of unspoken resentment and grievance. Because the scars of the mind remain invisibl...

  「魄之為用，能動能作，痛癢由之。」中醫「肺藏魄」的「魄」主管的是肉體的本能、反射、生理感官（痛覺、觸覺、與初生嬰兒的吸吮），因此「魄」是更靠近物質身與乙太身的原始星芒身。「肝藏魂」的「魂」與精神層面的追尋、夢境、潛意識、計劃與靈感有關，因此中醫的「魂」是正在等待自我轉化的星芒身。而「魂隨神往來」，所有的神智與情感，最終都需要透過「心」來感知和表現。中醫的「神」對應「自我」，且心神必須依賴「心血、心陰」作為物質載體，才能神安其位。 “The operational nature of Po (the Corporeal Soul) manifests in our capacity for movement and action; through it, all sensations of pain and itch arise.” In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Po, housed within the Lungs, governs bodily instincts, reflexes, and foundational sensory perceptions—such as the registry of pain, touch, and the primal suckling reflex of a newborn. It can therefore be understood as the primordial Astral body, residing in closest proximity to the Physical and Etheric bodies. The Hun (the Spiritual Soul) housed within the Liver is entwined with spiritual quests, dreams, the subconscious, foresight, and creative inspiration; thus, the Hun represents the Astral body awaiting transformation by the Ego. Yet, as the classic maxim dictates, “the Hun...

他們以苦難為磚瓦，為自己搭建了一座避風的木屋。卻忘了醫生只能幫忙修補屋頂的破洞，而迷失的靈魂終究得學會重新住進這座屋子裡。 They have built a cosy home out of their own suffering, forgetting that the doctor can only patch the roof, while the soul must learn to live in the house again. ༗ ⋆꙳ ⟢𒄬⋆ ⁎⊹ 人到了退休年齡（大約 63 歲之後），身體的物理特性和具有規律性的生理活動會自然走向僵硬、收縮（正常的生理老化）。而想要健康老去，人必須從精神與心靈層面長出新的創造力，來接替逐漸衰退的身體生命力。 很多老年失眠的患者，生活沒有目標，什麼都不想做。這些患者退休後，失去了外在社會（工作、賺錢）給予的被動目標，內在自我又沒有主動長出靈性的、精神追求的動機，導致自我組織力弱化，陷入麻木。 Once we hit the grand old age of sixty-three, the warranty on our physical plumbing expires. The body, quite naturally, enters a phase of bureaucratic stubbornness—getting stiffer, shrinking slightly, and generally refusing to cooperate. To age with any semblance of dignity, one must counter this physical strike by staging a spiritual revolution. When the flesh begins to retire, the mind must be re-hired as the chief creative officer. This is precisely where the modern insomniac stumbles. Retirement cures them of the routine they hated, only to leave them w...

在中醫宇宙觀中，奇經八脈是形成初始人體結構的藍圖與生命動能。它們的發育順序即是細胞分裂、極化和胚胎折疊的時間線，從單一的核心軸，發展到完整的立體空間，並完成整合。因此，後續它們所支配的人體空間與功能，便會與胚胎發育過程中建立的空間劃分吻合。 了解胚胎發育與這些經脈的關聯，有助於認識經脈在生理上的作用，以及當經脈失調時，會造成哪類型的疾病。 In Traditional Chinese Medicine cosmology, the Extraordinary Vessels represent the fundamental architectural blueprint of the body. Their developmental sequence strictly mirrors the timeline of cell division, polarization, and embryonic folding, progressing from a singular core axis to full 3D spatial integration. Therefore, the human body space and functions they subsequently govern correspond to the spatial divisions established during embryonic development. Understanding the correlation between embryonic development and these meridians/vessels helps us to understand their physiological role and what types of disease can result from disorder of specific meridian/vessel. 第零階段：生命的起點。 生物學上的生命之初始於受精。不同於兩棲類動物（由精子進入方向決定腹背軸），哺乳類動物的腹背軸，則保留了最大限度的高度可塑性，是由胚胎所處環境的物理擠壓和胚胎細胞內的化學濃度梯度（動態修正）來共同完成的。這種機制允許初始狀態有微小的隨機擾動，但最終一定會收斂出一...

 「深層睡眠」是非快速動眼睡眠的第三階段，特徵是腦波出現明顯的慢波。在此階段，副交感神經系統會占主導地位，降低心率、呼吸頻率和代謝需求，而交感神經系統則受到抑制。 這種自律神經的轉換是為了停止日常損耗，降低能量消耗，身體才能啟動組織器官和免疫系統的修復工作。交感神經系統被抑制，能讓心血管系統休息，幫助身體從白天的壓力中復原。 健康的成年人，深層睡眠會佔整晚睡眠時間的15%～ 25%。 “Deep sleep” is the third stage of non-rapid eye movement sleep with distinctive slow-wave. During this phase, the parasympathetic nervous system dominates, significantly slowing heart rate, breathing rates, and metabolic demand, while the sympathetic nervous system is suppressed.  This halts daily wear and tear, lowering energy expenditure to power physical recovery, tissue repair, and immune system reinforcement. The suppression of sympathetic nervous system allows your cardiovascular system to rest and recover from daytime stress. Deep sleep typically comprises 15% to 25% of a healthy adult’s total night's rest. 上圖是一個 睡眠片段化 的案例，可以看到綠色的 慢波睡眠 相當少，睡眠相當破碎，而且幾乎沒有深層睡眠。（本人不一定記得自己有醒來或做夢，只會覺得沒睡飽） 除了睡眠階段圖，睡眠片段化也會顯示在高比例的WASO。WASO就是入睡後又醒來的時間，WASO > 30分鐘就是具有臨床意義的睡眠片段化，而WASO > 60分鐘則代表嚴重失眠。 T...
