Psychologial or physical pressure is always taken as a negative force imposed on human life.
Different methods to reduce pressure are employed by people in all walks of life. It seems that it is a general truth that pressure is bad for us.
On the other hand, people are advised to do more exercise (not overloaded). This advice is in fact adding more pressure on your body in order to force it to eliminate the waste in a higher rate.
For an athlete who wants to upgrade his/her ability, he/she is trying to liftup more weight little by little, rather than reducing them.
Actually, pressure forces us to grow if we can cope with it in a wiser way and see it in a different way.
For Christians who want to reduce pressure, we may meditate on two verses:
Rom 8:28 But we know that to the ones loving God all things work together for good, to the ones being called according to [His] purpose. - There may be a purpose in the difficulties we face: at least we can learn to "upgrade" ourselves.
1Co 10:13 No temptation has taken hold of you*, except a human [one] [or, [one] characteristic of humanity]. But God [is] faithful, who will not allow you* to be tempted beyond what you* are able [or, capable of], _but_ with the temptation He will also make the way out, for your* being able to endure [it].

中國歷史中的女主
中國歷史中的女主
一般人以為中國的女性地位一直很低.其實是近代才是如此.
當然一直以來的史家皆壓低女性的功績.例如:武則天當政時,就被史家寫得十分差.有誰會知道她作皇帝時,起用了不少賢臣名將,以致國強兵足.甚至於長壽元年(692)十用, 奪回被吐蕃佔有的安西四鎮.

Acupunture and Emotions
Though it is expressed in "the Emperor's Internal Book" that emotions are related to the Meridians and we can use the related Meridians or even emotions to adjust "bad emotions"; it is seldom applied in the psychotherapy until the advent of Thought Field Therapy (TFT).
Upon a brief analysis on the acupunture points used in this method, I have found that most of them are the "beginning" or "end" points of the related Meridians.
But the following differences are found:
1. There are still no final agreement on the relationship between these emotions and the Meridians. Besides the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) seldom formulate the treatment according to these relationship. How the TFT found the relationship may be an interesting subject.
2. TFT is not yet totally successful. I have checked the "the Emperor's Internal Book" and found more insights on the treatment methods. I will post them later. Some of them may be too specialized and must at least have some basic TCM knowledge before one can grasp the meaning.
More to come.

Where are the four ancient cultures? Between...
Today when I was looking at the historical map of the World, I found that all these cultures (3000 -1500 B.C.) lay between longitude 20 -40.
Even the later developments are related to these too.
Of course, later it is extended to 60.
In contra to the prayer map for the Muslims (between long. 20-40, if I remember correctly.), it seems that these longitudes are very important for the human living.
Further analysis must be done before a verdict is made.
