Computers are ruining this world (this is what a Chinese TCM doctor told me a couple of years ago). I am overwhelmed by the numbers of patients I see with middle jiao, spleen and stomach disharmonies to the excessive use of computers, Internet, looking at smartphones while eating, watching TV while having dinner at night time, eating cold foods, iced beverages, etc. Information about the role of the Earth organs: Stomach function (yang) Spleen function (yin) Middle Jiao (the fermentation vat, the general metaboliser of the actions carried by the stomach and the spleen; it acts like a mini-engine) The stomach is called the sea of grain and water; everything is assimilated here. The spleen is in charge of transportation; everything is moved by its workings. Absorbing and moving: these are the essential actions which define the spleen/stomach network as the main source of the life-sustaining postnatal energy. (The Spleen/Stomach: views from the past) What's the point of meditating, Qigong work, etc. if one is constantly insulting Earth with modern eating habits (terrible), you are going nowhere. It took my all these years to realise that my poor eating habits kept me from progressing. Watch your tummy!
