3. Kidney
The kidneys are the final recipients of the extracted energy from food and
breathing. They accumulate this energy and store it like a battery. For this reason the area of
the solar plexus, which is in front of the kidneys is considered a vital area of
the body. Should this accumulating capacity be impaired we can also feel tired or
possibly exceedingly cold, especially in the feet.
Being the final organ in the digestive cycle the kidneys also are the
recipients of any toxic chemicals that might have been ingested, which they are
weakened by. There are three main filters in the body, the liver, the kidneys
and the lungs. Whatever bypasses the liver, enters the kidneys, whatever
bypasses the kidneys enters the lungs.
The kidneys are also the center of fear. Anxiety and related panic disorders
are in reality nothing more than a fear. This
will therefore further affect the kidneys and through them also the heart. It
should be remembered that the kidneys and the heart work very closely in a
mutual regulatory manner. whatever affects the kidneys also will affect the
heart.
Fear triggers the adrenal glands which are just above the kidneys and must
therefore affect the kidneys. Adrenal function becomes strained by this fear
component of stress producing a constant "fight or flight" condition. In time
this exhausts the adrenals producing an even "deeper" tiredness. At
this point many take stimulants for their tiredness believing that the
stimulants will produce more energy. In realty stimulants do not contain any
energy therefore they cannot produce it. What they can do is make the body use
up its own energy, which is stored in the kidneys, even faster. When a stimulant
wears off an even greater fatigue is experienced. At some point the body reaches
a point of "burn out" which is very dangerous.
It is wiser to support the organ that produces the energy (Spleen) rather
than deplete the organ that stores the energy (Kidney).
The kidneys
also maintain and manage the moisture of the entire body and may have too much
or too little due to the spleens over or underproduction.
The kidneys also serve in an essential role in maintaining the nerves and
brain itself and with it the brain and spinal fluid. Clearly by maintaining the
brain and spinal fluid balanced will affect brain function. This too directly impacts
the mental faculty. When this function is impaired serious problems may arise.
4. Lungs
It is said that the kidneys being the final recipient and "storage depot" of
the combined energy taken from the food and the air, that it holds this "energy
down." Should the kidneys find themselves in a weakened state they may not
perform this "holding down" function with the life force
energy that they accumulate, it can go upwards into the lungs. When this happens it is common to become short of breath
or become aware of shallow breathing. Also, the sinuses may feel stuffy, asthma,
or coughing may occur.
5. Thyroid
The thyroid is often blamed for symptoms
actually brought about by a spleen deficiency. Even though in tests thyroid
hormones appear to be out of proportion.
The thyroid functions using the
energy that the spleen produces. Its purpose is very much like a capacitor in an
electrical circuit. It absorbs electricity and at a certain point predetermined
by the capacity of the capacitor - releases it. This is normally done at a very
regular interval and establishes the metabolism of the body. If there is too
little energy to work with the thyroid actually has to work much harder to keep
the metabolism constant. This overworking of the thyroid creates a depletion of
the thyroid - which appears by conventional wisdom as a thyroid problem. If the
available energy is increased to normal functioning levels the thyroid can relax
at its normal working pace and thyroid hormone levels balance out. (This does
not apply with goiter.)
