Muneaikue By Yoneakira Miyoshi
Prelude
In Yonago-city, Tottori prefecture, there was an extraordinary healer. Initially, he had no media appearances, and the majority of his patients was locals. However, as his reputation spread by word of mouth, people from across the country began to form an endless line to seek for his help. This healer is currently treating people in Shinyokohama and Kyoto, and his name is Muneakira Miyoshi, the founder of Miyoshi’s method kikou gihou-jutsu. He treats patients using ki (energy) and gihou-jutsu (bonesettler’s technique) without prescribing medicine, or inserting medical equipment into the body. Unlike prescribed medicine and surgical operations, the patients would not experience any long lasting side effects and complication or apparent scars. These treatments are very unheard of for the many people, and it is common for new patients to visit the clinic feeling dubious. In fact, the majority of patients who gave the testimonial accounts in this book, had some doubts in back of their head prior to the first treatment. However, after the treatment, the patients acknowledge his miraculous healing power, and claim, “Wow, I no longer feel pain…” or “Unbelievable…” Even though they could not comprehend what had happened to themselves, he could permanently relieve and cure their symptoms. And through this treatment, he aided patients to regain hope in their lives. We truly hope that this book will be reached out to those who in need of Miyoshi sensei’s miraculous kikou gihou-jutsu treatment.

    African Americans may hold the belief that diseases can be cured when a person of faith gifted with special healing powers touches the afflicted person. This touch is usually accompanied by prayer. Sometimes, it is believed that “…the laying on of hands is thought to free the person from all suffering and pain, and people who still experience pain are considered to have little faith” (Purnell, 2003, p. 50). It is important that the health care provider be aware of these spiritual practices, their potential effect on the health care plan, to provide culturally competent…

    The Gift By Li-Young Lee

    • 282 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Li-Young Lee’s, “The Gift” unquestionably communicates several ideas, some rather direct, and others buried within the rhetoric and composition of the poem. Although the meaning (of the poem) may be left to interpretation, one of the most prominent concepts of the story, in my belief, is the gift of love and consequent tradition of offering it to loved ones. In the beginning of the poem, the narrator describes his father comforting him in the painful situation of removing a metal splinter from his hand: “My father recited a story in a low voice. I watched his lovely face and not the blade.” The father’s calm and affectionate demeanor can be further attested to in the second stanza, “...I recall his hands, two measures of tenderness, he laid…

    Known as an “herbalist” also empirics. What is an empiric? Well an empiric is non-medical trained practitioner. Philosophical empiricists were not properly inferred with knowledge unless from one’s sense of experience. As Aristotle says “What the mind thinks must be in it in the same sense as letters are on a tablet which bears no actual writing; this is just what happens in the case of the mind” what Aristotle means by this is that the mind can be as empty or blank but experiences leave marks. Some believed in the way healing by prayers, charms, and even the believe of magic. However, empirics had potions which were trial and error. This was called scientific method this was based on the evidence of senses both natural and social science. John Locke was known to be a philosopher of such has he said” knowledge was held through intuition and reasoning c alone”. When empirics saw that the injured or sick person recovered they did record the potion. Superstitions were a great deal in how empirics made money because many sought for sickness to be a God’s punishment for evil. A great success from a empirics was curing dropsy which was a congestive heart failure. As we know in today’s world this kind of physician can be known as a scientist because scientists are known to find new cures and new ways on healing the…

    The Healing Hospital

    • 1316 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The medical community has reached a very important nexus in terms of providing care to the injured and infirm that find themselves in a hospital environment. The so-called Healing Hospital represents a radical shift from the traditional view of the role and function of a hospital or clinic in making an individual well. A contemporary hospital, when admitting a patient, will focus will laser intensity on what is “wrong” with them. That is to say, the entirety of their treatment is aimed at eradicating that which is ailing them. This is model that has served the medical community since the advent of modern health care. There a recent school of thought, however, that argues that it is no longer sufficient to simply treat a disease or injury. The so-named Healing Hospital Paradigm posits that true medicine ought to focus beyond the ailment and adopt a more “holistic” approach to making a person well.…

    Placebo Effect

    • 1505 Words
    • 7 Pages

    In our twenty first century, various remedial methods and mechanisms are presented due to the evolution of paramedical science. The healing process of the body works together with the mind. Hence, the treatment process has two dimensions; specific such as placebos and general like psychotherapies (Sheets-Johnstone, 1992, 69). Placebos are used everywhere, and backed up by a psychological tool: the Placebo Effect. A Placebo Effect is based on the illusion of pain relief or recovery created in an ill person’s mind. Nowadays, the field of placebo effect has made an important progress and has become a major focus of discussions. Through the years and all the way back to the first decades, people experienced and relied on placebo effects with or without even noticing, such as the ultimate mechanism of all: the remedy when there’s no healer. The advantage of a placebo effect lies not in the healing powers of the medication itself, but in one’s virtual perceptions and behavior towards that ordinary fictitious-power pill (Wager, 2005, August, 175). This procedure has been more and more studied and implemented, for it creates an optimistic view in the patient’s mind, ignoring therefore any negative stimulus such as physical pain or moral disturbance.…

    He stated that he was a form of guidance for the person and he claimed to do this by providing the individual with the pieces/opportunities to put things back into perspective. He stated that “Nobody could heal you but acknowledgement brings healing” and that’s what he used to support his practice because in his practice he’s not healing you, he’s just helping you heal yourself. He believes that people can only receive guidance when they are healing but they are the ones who heal themselves. The next presentation I attended went against the whole idea that an individual is the only one to have the power to heal themselves. The next presentation was done by someone named Astarius Miraculii, he claimed that the sounds of his Didgeridoo helps people find themselves as well as helps heal people. His Didgeridoo (the instrument that he uses to conduct his music) can perform a prayer through sound (harmonic alignment), which is how he started off his presentation. According to Miraculii, the didgeridoo has the ability to clear negative energy, help heal, and remind people of who they are. He states that there is power in words and sounds, which is why he is allowed to help people…
