Principles of Su Jok and Onnuri Medicine

When I graduated Physiotherapy, I was looking for effective, safe and easy to apply methods of therapy. Learning Su Jok gave me the privilege to delve into how health, life, even reality really work. Month after month, year after year I came to love Su Jok more and more. I came to realize certain ideas that interrelate with Su Jok and form the context in which Su Jok operates, that is, the mechanism that sets Su Jok to such high effectivess.

Su Jok has everything to do with how our minds work - with our capability to focus our energy to a specific goal; with determination. As I always love to clarify during our lessons:

«Treatment begins in the mind. Once the picture of what we are dealing with is clear in our minds, our therapy strategy is formed, the “how”, the “when”, the “to what end”. Application is just an extension of what is formed in our minds as we act accordingly.»

Mind power is no lesser issue in treatment - all successful therapists use it, although not consciously at all times. In order for our Lifeforce (our focused energies) to operate toward health restoration in a variety of pathological cases we need to train our minds in flexibility, which will enable the mind (guided Lifeforce) to operate according to the specific needs of each case. The variety of instruments, theoretical and practical techniques provide us with windows of opportunity.

We let our therapeutic self (mind) open the appropriate window, guided by universal (Onnuri) laws of diversity, similarity, neutrality, singularity. Two rules that we never forget is:

1. Our hands, our feet and every other body part shares the same lifeforce. At a fact of the matter level we sould say that they share the same DNA. All our parts are not only parts of us. They are we. What happens to one of them affects all the rest at a smaller or higher degree.

2. Our hands and our feet have great similarity to our whole body. Thus the energy (information) among them is transferred effectively, unstoppably, unconsciously (consciously when intended). This fact alone allows a variety of correspondence systems between hands-feet and body to emerge.
