It is based on how one channel can balance other channels.\r\nPainful areas are not needled directly. Rather pain is alleviated by selecting distal points on the four limbs or on the head. Any one who has witnessed his treatments can be in little doubt of how effective it is. (\u8c2d\u65e0\u8fb9\u8001\u5e08\u7acb\u7aff\u89c1\u5f71)\r\n\r\nThe system is very logical. In fact it is so logical that an application can do the required analysis, calculate the channel combinations and show the the result in an understandable fashion. This procedure is known as doing the &#8216;matrix analysis&#8217;.\r\n\r\nIf you are a practitioner, and, like me, still have not memorised all the balance tables, then this application may be of use. The Balance Method application below does the &#8216;matrix analysis&#8217; for you, saving you time. It is intended to be used in clinic. It does assume that you already know the principles behind Dr Tan&#8217;s Balance Method.\r\n\r\n\r\nWhile using this functionality, do keep in mind that a drawback of software like this is that it only works in one way. Unlike a practitioner, it has no freedom of mind. Your mind is more flexible than this application! If you&#8217;d like additional functionality, let me know.\r\n\r\n<b>It is also said that the Global Balance Method is best for Global issues, i.e. chronic internal issues<\/b>.\r\nLocal issues, like local acute pain, are best dealt with using ordinary local balance.\r\n\r\n<u><b>Approach<\/b><\/u>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Identify channels in proximity to the painful area<\/li>\r\n \t<li>In the diagram, select those channels<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Click button &#8216;Show Matrix Analysis&#8217;<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nThe results shown are:\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>The minimum set of channels that balances all the selected channels<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Any Yin Yang Yin Yang combos across the 4 limbs<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Any Global Balance combos, whether it be of type (a), (b) or (c).<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div class=\"accordionOpen\"><center>&gt;&gt;&gt; The 6 Levels &lt;&lt;&lt;<\/center>\r\n<div>\r\n<div id=\"\" style=\"overflow: scroll;\">\r\n<table id=\"yinYang\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Yang<\/th>\r\n<th><\/th>\r\n<th>Yin<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>TaiYang &#8211; SI\r\nYangMing &#8211; LI\r\nShaoYang &#8211; SJ<\/td>\r\n<td id=\"mysquash\" rowspan=\"2\"><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/myWp\/images\/tan\/stickmanwalking3.png\" \/><\/center><\/td>\r\n<td>TaiYin &#8211; LU\r\nShaoYin &#8211; HT\r\nJueYin &#8211; PC<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>TaiYang &#8211; BL\r\nYangMing &#8211; ST\r\nShaoYang &#8211; GB<\/td>\r\n<td>TaiYin &#8211; SP\r\nShaoYin &#8211; KID\r\nJueYin &#8211; LIV<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div class=\"accordionOpen\"><center>&gt;&gt;&gt; View All 6 Systems &lt;&lt;&lt;<\/center><center><b>Local balance<\/b><\/center>\r\n<div>\r\n<div id=\"\" style=\"overflow: scroll;\"><b>LU<\/b>SPBLLIBLLIVLU\r\n<table border=\"2\" frame=\"BOX\" rules=\"GROUPS\" cellpadding=\"7\"><colgroup span=\"1\"><\/colgroup> <colgroup span=\"10\"><\/colgroup>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Channel<\/th>\r\n<th>System 1\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/myWp\/images\/tan\/matrix56.png\" \/><\/th>\r\n<th>System 2\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/myWp\/images\/tan\/matrix24.png\" \/><\/th>\r\n<th>System 3\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/myWp\/images\/tan\/matrix13.png\" \/><\/th>\r\n<th>System 4\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/myWp\/images\/tan\/matrix24.png\" \/><\/th>\r\n<th>System 5\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/myWp\/images\/tan\/matrix56.png\" \/><\/th>\r\n<th>System\r\n6 -self<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<td>Upper\/lower body (eg TaiYang paring)<\/td>\r\n<td>E.g. <b>Shao<\/b>Yang \u2192<b>Shao<\/b>Yin paring<\/td>\r\n<td>Exterior-interior<\/td>\r\n<td>Chinese clock opposites<\/td>\r\n<td>Chinese clock neighbours<\/td>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<td>Needle opposite side<\/td>\r\n<td>Needle either side<\/td>\r\n<td>Needle opposite side<\/td>\r\n<td>Needle either side<\/td>\r\n<td>Needle opposite side<\/td>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><\/td>\r\n<td>Hand\u2192Foot.

by a star (*) have many good qualities. Though of these, the best gua&#8217;s are the red gua&#8217;s.\r\nFor instance of the Earth gua&#8217;s, the best gua is 72.<br>\r\nOf all of the gua&#8217;s, the single best gua is gua number 18 (Yin over Yang. The bottom Yang will rise, and the top Yin will descend, representing &#8216;maximum change&#8217;). In fact, this gua is so good it can be used at any time of the year.\r\n<br><br>\r\nNow that you have chosen a gua &#8211; assuming you want to do a seasonal balance &#8211; how do you use it?<br>\r\n1) First do a normal &#8216;Balance Method&#8217; search above.<br>\r\n2) In the results, find section &#8216;Seasonal Balance&#8217;. There you will find a form input called &#8216;Season Number&#8217; (Should perhaps have been called Season gua?). Enter your season gua in the input box and click button &#8216;Show Matrix Analysis&#8217; again. This will calculate the seasonal balance matrix with suggested points to use.<br>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<center>\r\nThis page is dedicated to the memory of Dr Richard Tan who generously shared his insight with all.<\/center>\r\n\r\n<!--\r\nIf you see some short-comings in this application or would benefit from a different approach then do please contact me, anonymously if need be.\r\n\r\n[wpforms id=\"372\" title=\"false\" description=\"false\"]\r\n-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(To fellow geeks out there: let me know if I can be of help in creating a program that can calculate other &#8216;useful combos&#8217;.
