Water enchancements

[elena]

If your Pillars (for example)shows you to be
a weak Water, with too much Fire, the cure
is to enhance the water - BUT, does this
also mean to embrace Water Qualities - so
instead of being more energetic, one needs
to be more passive?

Dear Anon,
1. The proper Chinese `cure' is symbolic and if was done the first time e.g. when one was born and found to be having too much Fire, the symbolic thing to do is to be given a name with `Water' to balance the person.
2. Theoritically you are correct to say that one should `embrance' water but this is not the correct method of applying Pillars of Destiny.
We should instead use symbolic items to represent ourselves. Like a person's name, for example, with additional of a `water' in his her, name, this is a symbolic representation and not `physical' representation.
3. Likewise, one cannot or must never `play' with the human anatomy in any way. Or subject ourselves to physcially attaching the significance of lack of water to Real water etc...
4. Only in other fields of Chinese systems can we then relate physcially water and fire.
For example, if one takes red hot chilly, the balance is to drink water to cool oneself.
Here, yin and yang attract each other but subsequently after the `marriage', becomes balanced because, water cools down the `hot' chilly.
Only in the `physical' sense e.g. comparing food with food that we should do it.
5. Just because we lack metal, does not mean we literally use metal/stainless steel implants in our bodies unless it is through other unfortunate circumstances.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
