3-665.65.14 Crescentia cujete
Clades: Asteranae, Lamiidae, Verbenales, Bignoniaceae, Stage 14.
Introduction
A woman with a big heart, giving to much to others, to men and retiring after having been used. It feels as fighting things is not worth the effort, it is better avoiding conflicts. The downside that the fun is gone, the enthusiasm for life is waning.
It can be the situation of having to continue a job that has become boring. One has to sit it out as one is still responsible for the income.

Enduring when others have given you up; surviving when others have given up hope.

Background
Crescentia cujete, the common calabash, is a tree in the Bignoniaceae plant family (the “trumpet-creeper family”) that grows in Central and South America, the West Indies and extreme southern Florida. The calabash is the national tree of Saint Lucia. It grows from 6-12 meters (20 to 40 feet). The flowers (5; 6.5 cm) have five fused petals that are light green tinged with purple, thin and bell shaped. They are pollinated at night by bats. The fruits, which have a thin hard shell with a white pulp and thin, dark seeds, are large, round or oval shaped, green to brown can grow up to 20 inches in diameter. They hang directly beneath the branches. The tree may flower or fruit at any time of the year. The branches of the common calabash are long and spread horizontally outward. The spoon shaped evergreen leaves are 2-6 inches long. In the wild, orchids grow in the bark of the tree. The calabash tree cannot tolerate any frost, drought or salt.
Uses
The big fruit is a calabas, used as music instrument. The calabash is grown as an ornamental, for it’s fruits and for traditional medicines. The shells of the fruit are very functional and are used as bowls, cups, water dippers, musical instruments, women’s purses, etc. The indigenous people use it for afterbirth, for cleansing the placenta. The pulp of the fruit is considered poisonous although it is used in some traditional medicines. The seeds are edible and are usually eaten cooked. The bark of the common calabash is used to grow orchids.

3-665.65.14 Crescentia cujete proving
Proving: trituration proving, Bocas de Toro, 23-2-2016.
Master Prover: Jan Scholten.
Pharmacist: Robert Muntz.
Supervisor: Kellie Kirkpatrick.
Provers: Prover 1: female, age 54; Prover 2: female, age 33; Prover 3: male, age 61.
Start
The beginning of the calabash proving was tense as there were not enough spaces for everyone who wanted to prove it. Two of the provers stood their ground about why it was so important to for them to be in the proving. One said she felt compelled to do it for her husband and another said she had had a dream of the calabash the night before and that that was a sign that this was the proving she should do. In the end it all worked out. There is something appealing about the calabash, the giant fruits are so dramatic. I thought this tension might have something to do with the proving.
The proving is written as it unfolded from C1 through C3. Prover number is followed by their statement.
C1
Prover 1: It is like hot air in my head; big head. Kind of with dizzy: it’s not so clear in my brain. Some movement in the middle abdomen, more left side. Has a sensation of getting bigger. Head not so clear now, just like hot air balloon in head.

Prover 1: Feels pressure on gb-21 (middle top of shoulder midway between shoulder joint and neck meeting shoulder).
Prover 3: Thickness in back of throat; buzzy thickness.
Prover 2: Left side draining; post nasal drip. Left side really loose now, right is more stagnant; not draining as much as left which went whoosh all the way down and is really clearing on left side.
Prover 1: Still cold shivering inside. Both neck and shoulders kind of a tension and pressure. Nose gets a little free on right side; left side is still obstructed, not free.
The very strong needling sensation on acupuncture point gb-20 (beneath occiput) means tension on one point and trying to expand. It is not so painful, it is a tension.
Prover 2: That’s how I felt on my left sinus. Feeling like acupuncture for sinus; not really pain is a tension.

Feels on left toes joint distension but not so strong.
Occiput very strong pressure; distension; pressure, not so clear; nose obstructed too. I feel it’s obstructed. It’s not obstructed but there is a sensation of being obstructed. Feels she is speaking in a very nasal way. yawning all the time.

Area the size of a fist.
I don’t like to put the glasses on; it disturbs me. Maybe it’s too heavy.
Prover 1: I’m sitting in a damp sauna. This kind of sweating is not normal sweating. It’s just like you steam something; put some food in the steam in order to cook it, then sweating. Dampness sweating, warm, damp sweating, steam sweating.
Prover 3: Blissful aspect about sitting here in paradise. For me it’s almost a buzzy kind of blissfulness, an emmm feeling. It’s like feeling the vibration of atoms in the universe; you are delineated but it’s part of that wholeness.
Prover 2: It also feels safe we are kind of in this bubble. Says to other prover “you drew a cocoon”.
Prover 1: I have a picture of the beach, not strong waves. Very peaceful, very bright, open. Not strong waves, peaceful, bright, open and white. You are open, free relaxed. But very very wide, not a narrow view of the sea but very bright.
Prover 1: fullness in stomach epigastric. Not better with pressure, not worse with pressure. It doesn’t disturb me. I just feel it. Yawning without being tired. Relaxing. Peaceful. Base of right index finger working all the time. Not so strong as before but still feels it.
Prover 1: If I look at your picture from here; Mao tou yi; looks like eyes of a certain bird.

C2
Prover 1: Weakness on the right side of the shoulder. It feels like I can’t do this work because I don’t have the strength. Itching on right side outer mid-calf.
Itching right below clavicle. All itching for a short time; gone with scratching then comes again.
Prover 2: Feeling like needs to stretch again. Feeling a little more unsettled so feels like needs to concentrate more. Shivers down left arm. Shivers are gone; left side.
Definitely needs to stretch. Feeling antsy, more antsy. I feel like I need to move I need to open up my joints. Fingers stiff. Opening and closing hands. Is not abnormal for me.
Prover 3: To 2: why are you wearing sunglasses?
Prover 2: I feel I need to refocus. I was in such in a good place but now I feel different.
I feel like I want to block out the world and focus on my task. I need to refocus with the plant. I felt really focused and really good; I just wanted to stay there.
What’s the opposite of focus? That anxious feel; then the shiver came which is cool. Kind of came over me with a wave with that shiver. That’s more what it was like (anxiety with shiver).
Prover 3: When I stood up to go get the water. Hands felt like they wanted to contract.
I felt it in all of my joints when I stood up; they all contracted. Backs of knees are contracted.
Prover 1: I see the white colors, the very big palm we saw yesterday. It was behind the gazebo. I see the white colored flowers it comes to mind. Not so many flowers that were white colors that we saw yesterday. One of them was very beautiful.
We saw one of them in red color; at the end of the trip we saw one in white color. Very very beautiful; it comes to my eyes.
Prover 1: Shirtless, handsome beautiful strong dark colored. Beautiful, very nice body; beautiful; I enjoy to look at him. He is just standing there no movement. It is like some flowers. It is nice to look at him.
Supervisor: What age do you feel you are?
Prover 3: 40 I don’t feel like a young man but I don’t feel like I’m 62 either.
I have the emotional maturity of a 17 year old. (that was a joke).
Prover 2: I feel my age: 33. I used to try to feel the energy of plants when I was 11. I read a book on Wicca and I was like this is what I’m going to do. Is a massage therapist.
Prover 1: Unclear how old I feel.
Prover 1: Knee pain on the left side.
Supervisor: what do you feel your job is?
Prover 3: To provide the very best proving experience I probably can. I’m trying to stop doing my day job. I’m trying to draw this seedpod; it’s incredibly important to the plant.
Prover 1: coldness and shivering.
Facilitator: go inside. Go to it and see what you feel. Close your eyes and put all your attention to it and see what happens.
Prover 1: Feels good. White palms around me like a forest. In the middle of the forest is a blue swimming pool. I stand in the middle. All these plants around protect me. I feel very sure, protected.
Facilitator: Why do you need protection?
Prover 1: From outside maybe. There might be evil qi, bad energy to attack me.
Facilitator: What is it? What form does it get? What way does it want to attack you?
Prover 1: Palms are so big trees. I am so small inside. I have very thin skin. I need to have these palms around me to protect me so I don’t get attacked from the outside or they will go through me and I will be destroyed. I’m so weak, I have very thin skin. My body is just like glass. No weight. So if there is wind or something like that it just goes through my body and I will be destroyed. It is not so solid. I think it will be good for me to have it around me. My body is very light. It’s not so strong. If I stand there, only this palm forest around me, I am nothing; I will disappear immediately. Because I am too thin, too small. The movement in the universe is so strong.
If I imagine that I am not protected from this palm forest, white color; I feel very weak, everything will just go through me, everything will disappear. I am too weak, too small, too thin; I will not exist anymore. So I get shivery.
I get shivery not always because of the cold; it’s also a kind of fear. Fear to be attacked, to be destroyed maybe. No people are there. I’m really alone in this picture. Only plants. No animals, no people. I feel a little bit lonely in this picture; takes deep sigh.
Facilitator: what do you make of it?
Prover 3: Something that has been really prevalent for me is feeling my muscles contracting and my entire body feeling (closing motion) which seems like going into a kind of a cocoon falling off. I tried to draw a leaf and everyone said that is a cocoon. When I stood up to get water all of my major muscles felt like they had been contracting too. Not clenching, moment of stretching; it was very odd.
Facilitator: When you go to the feeling of the contracting muscles, what comes up?
Prover 3: It’s very comfortable to be in that position. I’ve been feeling a great feeling of well being, so it’s not a defensive. It feels good being in that position.
Facilitator: What’s the pain when you stretch? Can you go to that pain? What’s the painful aspect of stretching?
Prover 3: The muscles have just become tight.
Facilitator: Try to go to the feeling of when you open up and stretch and see what goes underneath.
Prover 3: Strongest sensation was surprise that I had it. It didn’t last long.
Facilitator: Put your attention to the feeling see what happens then.
Prover 3: The feeling was one of great relief; when I stood up.
Facilitator: It was also painful you said.
Prover 3: Initially but very brief.
Facilitator: It’s always nice to have relief but that’s your natural state that doesn’t have to be cured.
Facilitator asks prover 2.
Prover 2: Do I have to talk now? Feels peaceful and light headed, is getting that again. Feeling like really needs to stretch and open up. Joint achiness in hands, then sinuses open up.
Facilitator: what’s behind the need for stretching; why do you want to do that?
Prover 2: Just letting things in; I don’t know.
Facilitator: Go to the feeling.
Prover 2: Just a general feeling.
Facilitator: why do you need to stretch?
Prover 2: Stretching is a relief from a posture of being closed in.
Facilitator: Why should you do that? Make yourself closed in and see what’s behind it. Why do you have to be like that?
Prover 2: I don’t know.
Facilitator: Close your eyes and go to the feeling and see what happens.
Prover 2: I feel like there’s a weight that makes me do it.
Facilitator: Go to the feeling of the weight.
Prover 2: I feel that it’s just nature just how I am; I don’t know why I’m like that but the opening up is just a nice relief. Just feels like a nice natural cocoon feeling.
Facilitator: I had an image of a woman who has a very big heart and gives a lot to the world. She is taken advantage of so feels vulnerable and she has to close in as a protection. She has to close the people around her off.
Can be men who is like that and who are interested in women.
A warm person who is really loving and caring without enough of an understanding of how to handle it. People can take advantage of it because she doesn’t know how to handle it in a healthy way.
Prover 3: This need to close down. That beautiful story of the forest and being protected by the canopy of great white trees. (to prover 1).
to prover 2: You with your sun glasses closing yourself off from life.
the whole thing of closing up too; something about this for the remedy.
Supervisor: what is that closing up for you?
Prover 3: It must be something about not wanting to deal with the surrounding world because it’s so comfortable in the space I’m in. expending the energy to interact with outside that space.
Prover 3: It would detract from enjoying this comfortable enjoyable spot.
The opposite? It’s about dissipating the concentrating.
Expending of energy and attention. I just want to focus on this (contract). It’s that sensation when you are reading a book and you were really enjoying it and you are totally focused on it and into it and someone says we have to. Needs the private space.
Prover 1: It seems like in this remedy we are all to go inside of the body; we are protected. There is less connection to the surroundings. I don’t want to go out and be integrated to the world. I’m alone. No people there, only plants; they protect. I’m afraid to integrate. The shivering is a kind of closing. I close myself under the palm; I couldn’t do this to open myself to take part in this movement, in the air in the movement of the outside. I don’t’ need to get the protection. To not be able to open oneself; to connection to.
Isolated to protect myself. I cannot open myself. I cannot open my joints, I cannot open my skin. Close joints, close skin, close nose; shivering is a strong reaction to protect against outside.
It’s so peaceful here but I still feel like it should be protected.
I need defense when there is something coming but there is no danger. To get more and more tense. Pain at base of index finger; this is just like a darkness, a block. This finger protects myself because I work too much with needles (acupuncturist). He protects itself to make it tense to close.
This finger doesn’t like to do so many work; says no, refuse to do it.
It’s too much for him. Maybe I have to change, to open as my work….
Prover 3: Injections, vaccinations; to change the movement from needling to (makes motion of injection).
Prover 1: Very small very weak. As baby, so weak that can just forget it.
I already died. after birth I got very serious pneumonia. At that time in China (in real life). Doctors told my mother we cannot help her, we cannot do anything. I survived from this illness. They all thought I would die I was born in a natural catastrophe, very weak. This is a big problem for me; my weakness in the lungs. My defense qi, my protection qi is very weak. (is all in real life).
Supervisor: What was the trauma that needs that defense? As the person who needs that plant?
Prover 1: It seems to me, maybe I give too much I have to be closed. It means also to say no. No business now, I’m closed. Really to take a rest. I am always closed myself, to protect myself I need to say no. In real life it is a problem for me to say no. This plant told me I need to close myself to say no in order to protect me; I am weak to say no. It is my topic in real life. We talk about it at home. I work very hard in my clinic. I have too many patients.
Sometimes after work I feel really empty; totally. I would like to change it to do less. I would already begin to cut my lectures. I want to save more energy to me. This plant tells me; sometimes you have to close.
Prover 3: I’m thinking about what you said, about the kind of person that might need this remedy. I think that what I’m seeing is a situation where being in the world I was thinking about not wanting to expend the energy; reading this book.
Being in the world in general, interacting, requires a certain amount of personal courage to do.
Supervisor: So you don’t feel courage?
Prover 3: I’m feeling like yes you can do it. But hesitancy, lack of confidence. A kind of laziness attached to it. Not wanting to expend the effort to be that person in the world. Because this is comfortable, very comfortable. Instead of having to put on your formal dress to go out or your battle wear, whatever it is to go out in the world. Battle wear? That cliché about your battle wear (a suit) to go into the world. It’s not so much about being afraid; just not wanting to expend the effort. Maybe you don’t value it so much. It’s not a lack of confidence.
It’s not afraid to be in the world, it’s not wanting to expend the effort to do what you need to do; to interact in the larger world; that is what I’m feeling around this. This is almost like a really calm meditative space; it’s very comfortable to be in.
Supervisor: Opposite of calm meditative comfortable?
Prover 3: frenetic.
We were in the Dominican republic in September- on the porta plata on the north coast. Driving up there; talk about frenetic the traffic was insane; just absolute chaos. We had difficulty because of GPS finding it. Nothing is clearly marked. Eventually we go there. Just across from the beach, it was Sunday, it was a festival day. There was madness on the beach. Stereos blaring everywhere. The place we were staying was very beautiful in a gated small place with 5 units. You stepped inside the gate and it was a very different world. There was an energy for us while we were there; we should go to town and get groceries. Do we really want to go through that effort and screw up that intestinal fortitude to go through that? So I guess that means there is sort of a question of value there too. Whether opening up is a valuable enough experience to warrant doing it.
Prover 1: Big sigh. Inside trying to get relaxed not to be tense, closed, try to be more open; the jaw, the skin, to see how it is.
Prover 2: I’m still really happy to be doing my little task. I’m still part of the group. I’m feeling quieter I guess that focus. Not needing my sunglasses anymore, just open. The opening up feels safe for me like I should be doing that.
it feels fine. I feel like it’s safe to open up (always has during the proving).
The whole thing started out good a whole thing of light headedness; feels calm Food for her was opening of sinuses; accompanied by a head airiness, a little buzz, for me that buzz was a good thing.
C3
Prover 1: I have to close me I have to protect me, just like this finger to say no, to not destroy, not to give too much. It is also to go back to myself.
We feel all very well I this group but we don’t have a connection. We seem to be isolated from each other. Protection to not lose my energy. Still too many patients. Yesterday we talked about it: I have to reduce to reduce; because it is too much. The pain told me. I cannot say no; that is my problem.
So maybe this plant will guide me to say no to close myself, to close my clinic.
For my understanding why I have this pain; I get all the time shivering.
Facilitator: when you feel the plant does it feel powerful, weak, rigid, or not rigid? What kind of qualities would you give it?
Prover 1: Yesterday the plant made us weak.
Prover 2: This feels really benign to me. It is almost like this one catches you unaware Like oh, that has happened to me; in the face.
Facilitator: is this more pleasant?
Yes.
Facilitator: the contraction, what kind of phase is that?
Prover 1: at the beginning though was on left side; need my protecting.
Facilitator: Normally when you say about retiring and contracting that is often stage 13. That is the stage where you feel attacked. But it can also go with a kind of bitterness. Retiring, about feeling threatened. With it you feel right that the others are not entitled to attack you; that It is on the right side; you feel sure.
In stage 14 you don’t have the power to fight, so doesn’t have the confidence within himself.
In stage 12: fighting. If you want to have a fight you will get it.
The difference between 13 and 14 is 13 fights half; It is why has a bitterness, a sarcastic quality and 14 closes off. They don’t show anything so they can’t be attacked. The music Pink Floyd is very much like that. So maybe your image of being completely closed off would go with this.
Prover 1: All the time nobody talked about lack of confidence; we are all sure. It takes a certain amount of courage and presence to go out in the world.
Facilitator: and you didn’t wan to do that?
Prover 1: Is it worth the effort to go through it ?
Prover 2: I feel like I don’t know why it is happening; I feel safe. (going out in the world).
Facilitator: in stage 14 they are still together but it is an empty marriage; they live together have separate bedrooms. It’s formal but basically there is not relationship anymore. You don’t fight because it is not worth it. It’s before really ending it. It’s only a formal relationship.
Prover 3: Can be with a client too. It is not worth the effort to say take your vehicle elsewhere, just okay whatever you say.
Prover 2: I feel like we’ve had a connection all through this but it was more about maybe taking in things.
Prover 1: I feel peace, I feel nice with them but none of us tries to really get connection as a group.
Facilitator: that also fits partially for stage 14. An expression of stage 14 is a boy in puberty. How was school? Okay did you do something? Yes. You feel a wall. That’s the protection of the boy in puberty because he doesn’t have the power to fight. He doesn’t stand up to his parents.
Facilitator: I feel that difficult to get into you (2) and also difficult to get into yourself.
Prover 1: I don’t feel my inner organs, a little bit on my abdomen but not really. Nose nose skin skin, joints. The surface only cannot go inside. This is clear emotionally too; the defense around.
Facilitator: also how that tree grows. It grows there and you hardly see it. When you really see it well, the flowers are very beautiful, almost exuberant, almost hidden by the tree. You almost pass it by without seeing it. Normally the flower is on the top but here it is on the inside; you can hardly see it.
Prover 1: It’s really very interesting. Today we have the lung deficiency, the skin and superficial; to get chill, sweating, aversion to cold, to build protection, the world to protect you; nose. And the intestine.
Facilitator: The fruit is not used for eating. The indigenous people use it for afterbirth, for cleansing the placenta.
Prover 3: Bored with work, getting old, is 62 ready to do something else. I still find it interesting. At this time in my life a sense of mortality. Is disturbing; an obligation: putting bread on the table having a job. It’s an obligation that we all had to endure.
Facilitator: what attracted you to old cars?
It was a hobby driving an MG. They weren’t around was what parents had. When in college would go to England and buy Roll’s Royce’s and ship them back to the US and sell them because the pound was very weak against the dollar then; it was quite profitable. There were people available but they were expensive to do repair and restoration work on those cars.
JS: what attracted u to those old cars? You could have sold furniture.
Prover 3: The mechanics. It was extraordinary. You knew there were human hands who put a beautifully plated finished screw that no one would ever see but someone thought about that detail and executed it and really admired.
Then it became my challenge to replicate the quality of work; and that was pretty much self taught.
Prover 2: So you had a lot of pride in it.
Prover 3: Yes it changed a bit over time because what I do now is the really difficult technical diagnosis on cars advanced systems. My job now is guiding my staff.
Facilitator: So basically you don’t do the hand work anymore.
Prover 3: Some but not a lot. When I really start getting bored with it a new wave of technology comes along. A new thing is hydro vehicles and fully electric vehicles. Looking at hydrogen vehicles.
Prover 2: What’s Tesla doing?
Prover 3: Doing very well.
Facilitator: What phase and subphase? Do you belong? Are you an outsider, an insider? To the world, the society, the culture. When you do this proving and you get this kind of feeling are there certain situations in your life when you had a similar kind of feeling?
Prover 2: Sometimes at work; a little bit of an arms length and maybe that’s what this is turning into for me. I really care about them a lot but maybe an arm’s length away. Some kind of protection up; a little bit of a wall.
Prover 3: Sitting back feeling really comfortable now.
Prover 1: As a child got pneumonia, already died. I survived I think it was my second life.
Facilitator: did you have the protection then?
Prover 1: If having the pneumonia. Because they said they could do nothing I think I felt alone. To let it die (her), to let it go, to disappear, to die. Put on the side. Not to see it not to notice it. I will disappear if I don’t get the protection. 3 months old. My mother told me: you want to survive, you want to live. The doctor said you have no chance.
Facilitator: When you think of it yourself, you have no memory…. As a child why did you survive?
Prover 1: I think I have a very strong power of life; Inside I am very strong. Outside I am very weak. I can only get through if I want. I have a very strong will.
Facilitator: Do you also feel it in this plant?
Prover 1: I feel very strong now; the energy comes back. I am a very strong woman, successful in my life.
Facilitator: Did the others feel it too, also as a powerful remedy?
Prover 2: I think a subtle remedy but there have been strong things that come out of it.
Prover 1: I stretch myself and make myself bigger. I have to be a very powerful woman. I also have to protect. If I feel powerful strong I am ready to do something. If it is good for me I don’t know.
Prover 1: Not so much I do this (contracted) in my life. I feel very comfortable, quiet, calm peaceful, by myself with this remedy.
Analysis of the Remedy code
Facilitator: The flatness is also of stage 14; flat. It also feels flat.
The phase and the subphase also gives something. When you go a level deeper you can also feel those if you try. The number is 665 that Is not coming out so easily; in the provings you don’t get the series. The reason is the series are a goal; but they don’t have an emotion attached to it. The phases and the stages have more feelings; that’s what you are attracted to. I’m already so sure that it should be 665. 665.65.14.
Not on the outside but not really connected could be 2 or 6. The story of neglected is stage 6: pneumonia. The 5 is the power, the enjoyment of life but stage 14 is doing the opposite. Stage 14 flattens out the phase 5, they influence each other. Phase 5 is also I came here for my enjoyment. To really get it out of this proving alone I would have had doubts. Stage 14 is the most obvious and that is the most important for the proving because the other ones we know.
Together: 665.65.14.
Prover 3: I often told my wife, get out of my office when she tells me some of the stories about clients complaints. I’d be like toughen up, get out there. Some people you need your hand held in life for that. If I was a homeopath and someone had a problem that they had I’d be like get a life; get out of here.
It’s not like I’m serious, I’m joking but not like something I’m cut out to do. Sometimes also very hard to heal people.
Prover 1: I cannot imagine this type of work. All the day hearing the stories, the complaints. I have a natural empathy but some days you are faking it. Some days you are like I really feel bad for this person and then you check yourself and you say; not really I don’t. I don’t care I have my own problems.
Prover 3: That whole thing of dealing with people is part and parcel of any job or position that you are in especially if you own your own business. So much about recognizing personalities and what they are going to need by way of support and guidance.
Prover 2: At work when you are doing everything and running the business and massaging. I’m like oh gosh I should really hire someone to take over the paperwork. I need some support.
Prover 3: Do you work alone? (to 1).
Prover 1: I work alone. Was with others for 10 years.
Prover 3: We’re a superior group, not a lot of interaction.
Prover 1: The first clinic I worked in with doctors; the patients get paid from insurance. If the people get paid for the treatment it is not only good. They don’t really want to get cured. For example you have back pain or sciatica. It is very important to get paid for the insurance. After 10 years it was a very big experience. I have many patients but I don’t like to do this kind of work.
I put a lot of energy inside. They are just like a stone (the patients).
They don’t move, they are not prepared.
They don’t have the idea to get acupuncture. They don’t look for the treatment; they look to the normal doctor. They are like I don’t want to cooperate with you, that is hard work. Like you said (to prover 3), not worth the effort They are not stupid, they are not open to that. This kind of a patient, I call them dr. killer. They kill all the doctors because nothing worked s they kill your name. So I am so glad they don’t come to me. They kill my name. Now people have to pay themselves. It is so important that the patient has to pay for that; they appreciate it.
I have one student in my class; said xieru I have 20 years of massage and physical therapy I am already tired I don’t want to do it anymore. It is not so strengthening for my physical energy. She puts 4-500 needles per day.
When I get that way I can’t say no because you get enough back from the patient. They are so thankful. My husband said it is strange: your patients come to you, they don’t want to leave you. I say you are already good. You don’t have suffering you just take a break.
Does four at a time; works 6-8 hours.
15-22 patients.
I like too my job, very interesting. I like it very much.
I have worked as a doctor for over 30 years. I have to think a lot myself to save the energy. If something happens to me I have to take care of myself.
Prover 3: There is a sense of mortality the older you get. A certain physical fragility too You have to pay attention to if you want to enjoy life to the fullest.
Prover 1: In our profession you can continue to work but not so much I often say if the grandchildren I will take much more time for the children. I have two children. No grandchildren yet.
