Acupuncture sessions and Alexander Technique
lessons both seem to improve the symptoms of chronic neck pain after one year,
according to a new study. Alexander Technique involves hands-on lessons for
self-care in everyday activities, aimed at reducing poor posture, excess muscle
tension, poor coordination, stress or pain. Single interventions for chronic
neck pain do not on average provide long-term benefits, so the positive results
with acupuncture and Alexander Technique lessons were surprising, said lead
author Hugh MacPherson of the University of York in the U.K. Nov.2 http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/02/us-health-neckpain-idUSKCN0SR2FH20151102
The news
about the success of Acupuncture sessions and Alexander Technique for healing
neck pains comes just a day before the last quarter Moon. A chart for the Moon
phase at York has a skewed Grand Cross straddling the horizon axis.
Uranus-Pluto in its positive manifestation is a scientific breakthrough. Here
Uranus [17ar] is conjunct the stars Altais, delta Draconis, [17ar] in the
Dragon’s neck and kappa Andromeda [17ar]
in the constellation of the Chained Woman. As a generalized symbol the Chained
Woman, Andromeda assailed by the Sea Monster Cetus rules all kinds of
afflictions and here more specifically, the Dragon’s neck pinpoints the area of
affliction.
The word
chronic which means “continuing for a long time” comes from the Greek word chronos – another name for Saturn. Going further we notice that
Saturn [4sa] ,which is in a hard aspect
to Uranus [17ar], is conjunct the stars in the head and neck of the beast Lupus
and Yed Posterior, epsilon Ophiuchus, in the left hand of the shaman holding the
serpent of healing. Diana Rosenberg includes
head, face and neck ailments in this area.
Ophiuchus, or Serpentarius, the
Serpent-holder, the Serpent Bearer, the Serpent Wrestler, or the Snake Charmer,
is often depicted holding a snake, the snake is represented by the
constellation Serpens. Ophiuchus is identified with Aesculapius (Asklepios,
Asclepius), an ancient physician who grew so skilled in the craft of healing
that he was able to restore the dead to life.The association of the serpent
(Serpens) with this constellation, Ophiuchus, may indicate the miraculous
powers which are ascribed to snake-charmers. Before medicine became a science
the role of the physician and priest were combined in many cultures, and
existed in what we know today as the witch doctor, shaman, or medicine man, and
the earliest snake charmers were traditional healers. Their aim was holistic
healing, the healing of both mind and body. They used herbs, potions, charms,
incantations, exorcism, magic, divination, and prayers, in their means to
establish the cure [1].
