MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

The lungs take in the Qi from the ‘heavens’. The Qi animates your body and mind giving you the ability to feel bodily sensation and enabling you to make a good connection with the world. If the Lungs are healthy, you will feel alive and vital and be able to take in information through your five senses – by seeing, feeling, hearing, smelling and tasting. They especially enable you to feel grief, which is the emotion associated with the Lungs. If your Lungs are not functioning well you may start to find that your senses are dulled and you are unable to feel physical sensation or emotion clearly. Grief is a feeling of emptiness or longing and if the lungs are weak you may feel cut off and alienated from people and the world and feel something is missing – but find that you can’t put your finger on what it is.

In the section on physical signs and symptoms, I described how the Lungs protect you from infections and ensure that you have a healthy immune system. They also have a similar mental and emotional function and enable you to feel emotionally robust. If the Lungs are healthy you will be able to deal flexibly with and gain perspective on emotional situations. Weakened Lungs may cause you to feel fragile emotionally. This may lead you to react defensively if you feel criticised, and either show no emotion or have excessively strong emotions.
