I have been taking acupuncture treatment for several years now. Its holistic approach to illness and health suits me better than the symptomatic therapy of western medicine. After about an year of treatment, I could feel KI running through and discharging from my body.
According to what my acupuncturist say, when the KI in my body is in an unbalanced state, JAKI (邪気, noxious KI) is trapped inside, trying to find the exit. My body is likely to keep the stress in, not able to relax and free myself.
When the acupunｃturist pierces certain points, the noxious KI is discharged from there. It rushes out fast and it is freezing cold. Sometimes the discharged KI is so cold that it runs through the needle freezing the acupuncturist's arm and shoulder. I can feel a lot of it coming out from the back of my feet. The point is called Yong Quang.
After the treatment, my body feels tired but lighter than before. It is like tipping the dust bin of stress that you had for some time.
Freezing air discharging from the back of the feet. Hmm, it reminded me of a scene from Disney movie.
In "Frozen", Queen Elsa "Lets it go" and frees herself from everything. Her powers are released from her hands and feet. There is a scene where she steps on the ground hard, and a great crystal appears, and fractals build up to make a grand ice castle.
I wonder if the freezing air discharged from my hands and feet is magic like Elsa's. I step on the ground hard to give a check.
From a point of view of a patient of acupuncture treatment, I can very much identify with the state of Queen Elsa. Letting go the freezing air from hands and feet, you feel lighter and better, more balanced. No more stress, no more things to suppress or conceal.
I wonder if the "Frozen" production thought about any link between Elsa's power and acupuncture.
