Subject: Re: [PulseDiagnosis] Pulse Position
Hi David -
Qualities
Each pulse position has a normal quality that is an elemental quality. When it is moderate and matches the element of the organ, it is a healthy expression. Examples of healthy include when the kidney positions are deep, the heart position is mildly flooding, the liver position is mildly wiry, the spleen position is mildly slippery, and the lung position is mildly floating and choppy.
These ideal pulse images correspond to constitution, the seasons, and the nature of the individual organs. Each constitution may present with a predominance of a given quality such as wiry, slippery, hook-like (flooding), deep, and floating hair-like. The same is true of each season and each individual organ. These qualities are all moderate expressions in the ideal pulse.
As one examines each position for the correct elemental influences, there are usually only one or two positions with untoward qualities. If the quality found in a position does not correspond to the organ, then influences from another element are present. This may provide a fulcrum from which to access the deeper physiology of the individual. For example: if a slippery quality is present in the kidney position, then earth is influencing water. Then, there is the global view where you are looking for a quality that is present in all positions at all depths. This event is suggestive of a process that is throughout and does not lend itseld well to this methodology. I.e. glaobally slippery pulses probably require an intervention that involves the earth channels.
I hope you are well -
Will

Subject: [PulseDiagnosis] Pulse Position
When diagnosing someones pulse,will the specific type of pulse be felt in a particular area or will it be felt in all 3 positions? For example, if a patient shows signs of dampness in the spleen, will the spleen position feel slippery only or will all positions feel slippery and if all positions feel slippery will it be splippery on both hands?
