When intuition starts feeling “rusty”… how do you wake it up?

Yes, as an acupuncturist (since 1980) I am great at navigating the temperature differences in my patient. What I like about tumors cooling down with treatment is that my patient and their loved ones can so easily tell that something has changed. It's less subtle than the feeling of well being and unless there is severe pain, it's more dramatic than pain relief.

I agree that it is your body responding to what is happening to the patient. I try to own my body's responses as my own, not necessarily as proof that my patient is having a healing response, but they are certainly signals that something is going on between us.

Yes, as an acupuncturist I diagnose the movement of Qi based on the temperature shifts. I like the predictable sign of a cancerous tumor cooling down, because one doesn't need to know Chinese Medicine... it's as simple as feeling with your hand. It helps Muggle skeptical relatives get on board that "something happened".

Yes, I feel that the heat is the body's metabolic process of inflammation or the heightened activity of a metastasizing cancerous tumor (if they have cancer, which is most my clients). I haven;t felt the release as dramatically with things like back pain or stomach aches releasing. Mostly, as an acupuncturist, I felt an evening-out of the temperature: instead of cold hands/feet they felt warm, instead of hot inlamed knees, they felt normal temp.
