Too much yin?

[thejanith]

Hi everyone!I have something going on that seems to be prominant in the winter....I have been generating so much heat when I work that sometimes my face gets bright red and I actually get burns around my eyes.  I have been running warm when usually I feel cold most of the time.  I've been getting alot of headaches also.  I was told by a chinese doctor that I have too much yin.  Does anyone with an eastern medicine or bodywork background have any suggestions?  Sometimes I feel like I could spotaneously combust  .  Does anyone else have this imbalance?

 

[kind]

very interesting...if I were you, I would maybe consult with a dermatologist. Please don't be annoyed by this next comment but depending on your age, you may be going through the beginning phases of menopause. It can strike ladies anytime from their 30's and on up. Just a thought to ponder or not.  Be well,Jen

[you may be going through the beginning phases of menopause. ]Oh great!  Now I can add depression to the list of symptoms! Seriously though, I don't think it's menopause because I went through this last winter.  My M.D. told me that I am allergic to the cold and prescribed Claritin.  It didn't work. [if I were you, I would maybe consult with a dermatologist.]I don't know....it's not really a rash or anything...just heat.  Like it's inside and trying to come out through my eyes.  (that sounds kinda freaky, doesn't it?)

I am taking continuing ed classes for the next two weekends for qi healing, which is based in Chinese medicine.  I'll pose the questions to the instructors and let you know if I find out anything.

Can you see a DOM? It definitely sounds like an imbalance. I don't know where you are but some accupunture schools have a clinic. Is there maybe one near you that you could go to?

Too much yin?

Client's bodies can release a lot of heat, consider that if you only get heat flashes while working. Certain types of food you eat can also generate heat.  I would see a doctor first to rule out anything serious.  Niacin will also do the same thing.

Too much yin?

How is your general health?How is your blood pressure?Are you leaning/bending when this happens?Are you holding your breath without realizing it?Perimenopause can indeed be a reason.I'm just 40 and have been semi-"flashing" for about three years.Robyn

OH my goodness, I too have been suffering with the same thing.  I am 36 and the last month, not only have I been so hot while working I have also been suffering with horrible night sweats.  While working I am sweating so much that it is so distracting I have to keep wiping my face and  forehead as not to drip on my clients.  This is not only gross, but very embarrassing.  I wear a scrub jacket  w/ a tank top when I greet and say goodbye to my clients, but when they are on the table I have to take the jacket off or I will burn up.  I have a fan in my room, but only use it when the client is face up and covered with a blanket. (my table is heated also to keep them warm)  This isn't doing much to cool me off.  Now, 2 weeks ago I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed and have taken some pain killers for the pain.  also, I had a dry socket after the surgery and then I got a cold virus.  Could this possibly be the culprate?  Sometimes, I do get the night sweats right before my period, but they go away after a couple days.  I am so sick of being hot!

Sounds like you should really go see someone...

Here's a list of acupuncture schools, maybe one in your area, if you don't know anyone you trust who already has a practice.

Thanks everyone!  I'm going to make and appointment with an accupucturist this week...I'll keep you posted.Also...after reading the thread about areuveda (did I spell that right?) I took the test and came out with alot of Pitta...  maybe I'm imbalanced that way?  I think Pitta is heat and my temper has been flairing more easily.

sounds to me like you are running energy, but don't know how to channel it yet. Have you taken reiki?To repair the balance, I suggest a chakra balancing and microcosmic orbit meditation.place your hands on bottom of foot-ankleankle to kneeknee to hiprepeat other sidehip-hipbase chakra to sacrasacral to solar plexussp to heartheart to throatthroat to 3rd eye3rd eye to crownrun energy down the front of  your body to your base- hold tight the perineum, as you release the perineum shoot the energy up the back over the crown.do'nt do more than 14 times in a 24 hr period, as you will get headaches. Energy trapped there.yang produces heat, yin is coldbalancing will helphollowbone

Hollowbone, I think that's it!  When I'm working I feel my hands and eyes get fire- hot.  I feel like I'm being pulled away (like shamanic journeying) and I get a kickin headache for the rest of the day.I've never learned reiki or any energy work...is there a book that you can recommend?  I'm not sure that I understand what you're telling me to do.  Is this a balancing that I should do every day?Thanks everyone for your help!

Too much yin?

Hi,

I recommend an actual hands on course verses a book. Do the chakra connection, meditate, get grounded by growing roots from your feet through the earth 100 feet. Sometimes when you activate the healing energy the energy turns off/on at weird times. Intention is key.

or just google reik, 1000000 hits there!

if you live in the detroit area I would be happy to teach you, but hands on is really best.

I agree with hollowbone, it sound to me like your not channeling your energy.  I learned this with Reiki and Polarity.  You can channel in many different ways.  When I was learning Polarity, I channeled my partners stomach ache.  I didnt know she was having stomach problems before the session. When I was done, I felt her stomach pain.  I just relaxed and let the negitive energy flow to my feet and out into the floor.

Just picture the energy in your head.  White light for good energy...dark light for bad.  Then when I was feeling better...I washed my hands with cold water.  This disconnects the energy and washs away and bad energy that is left.  

Some people have a hard time understanding or believeing this transfer of energy.  I did a one time until it happen to me.  

When I recieved a Polarity session, it was the most relaxing experience I ever felt!  There was very little touching involved!  I was suprised.  

If you want , I have a chakra healing session you can perform by yourself. Even if that isnt the problem, its a great experience. I will email it to you, just let me know.

If that doesnt work, then, yes I would see a doctor.  It could be early menopause.  My cousin had it when she was 24!!!  It can come early for her.  She was a rare case, but it happens.  She was lucky to have her two childeren before then.  

Good luck

For me i've identified when someone is really toxic on any level i get hot really quick and sweat at times, that's when i really have to focus and hold the space because something unseen is happening and i need to assist in the process.    usually they have profound shifts.  

 

[Bunz!]

I have too much yang.  I often speak before I think, and look at most things as the big picture.  Im keeping this under control because my significant other is my yin, and I am her yang.  We create a pretty equal balance.  So maybe try finding someone to be your yang...

Too much yin?

That doesn't make any sense to me... yin is cold and yang is hot. My understanding is that you can have excess heat, related to an excess of yang, or deficiencey heat, related to a deficiencey of yin. I'm not sure how excess yin could relate directly to signs of Heat.
