Knock-Knock, Who's There: Exploring the Door to YOU through the 13 Ghost Points

Exploring the 13 Ghost Points: An Alchemical Journey to Authenticity
In our latest episode of the Inspired Action Podcast, we're diving deeper into the transformative realm of authenticity through an ancient Chinese Medicine protocol known as the Thirteen Ghost Points. The Ghost Points theme is all about aligning ourselves with our true nature, free from the traumas and negative hooks of our past.
In episode 131, we discussed how life's traumatic experiences can latch onto us, pulling us away from living in our true Qi. We've encouraged listeners to recognize these hooks and start the journey of self-release, allowing your true Qi to flow freely. This episode is a part of that journey, focusing on the first ghost point – your door to the world.
Understanding Your Door
The door is a metaphor for how you interact and present yourself to the world. Each ghost point in the protocol represents a specific theme in our lives, offering us the chance to align more closely with our true selves. During this episode, we challenge you to examine: How open is your door? Is it authentically reflecting who you are?
Elemental Reactions to Trauma:
- Wood: Normally engaged and leading, Wood can become reserved after negative experiences. How can they recover their assertive place in the world?
- Fire: Known for being open-hearted, Fire elements may shut down after trauma. The question is, how can they safely reengage with their natural love and playfulness?
- Earth: Earth individuals might continue functioning outwardly the same, but hide resentment or victimization. How can they set healthy boundaries while nurturing their innate caring nature?
- Metal: Often retreating after negative experiences, Metals might become isolated or cynical. How can they restore their faith in humanity and contribute their gift of integrity and honor?
- Water: Fear can freeze Waters , preventing them from pursuing their natural free-flowing excitement. How can they learn to trust the world again?
Cultivating Your True Nature
Pod 132 encourages you to explore past traumas and how they've affected your interactions.
It's not about changing who you are, but about understanding and embracing your true door—your authentic self. By doing so, not only do you begin to heal, but you also offer your natural gifts back to the world, enriching it and yourself.

The Nose Knows - But Do You? Five Element Smells
More bite-sized insights into Elemental living!
|
In Episode 7, we're diving nose-first into the intriguing world of elemental scents. Just as each of the Five Elements influences our behaviors and energies, they also possess unique aromatic signatures. Let’s embark on this sensory exploration together.
The Essence of Wood: Rancid but Not Really
Wood, characterized by its rising and retreating energy, also has a scent that mirrors this dynamic. Think of vinegar—sharp at first yet mellow on subsequent sniffs. While "rancid" doesn’t sound particularly pleasant, it's more about the punchy advance and retreat rather than an unpleasant smell. Like a bottle of vinegar, Wood's aroma is strong initially but fades gracefully, much like how Wood individuals navigate through life.
Fire's Flare: Burnt or Floral
Fire's scent, aptly named "burnt," wafts and lingers like smoke on a gentle breeze. Imagine the subtle fragrance of laundry dried in the sun. It appears and vanishes, much like the dynamic and fluctuating energy of Fire personalities. It's similar to the floral scent of rose. Though it’s not an overwhelming smell, it echoes the transient yet impactful presence of Fire.
Earth’s Warm Embrace: Sweet Ripeness
Earth's scent is sweet but leans more toward the overripe. It’s warm and inviting akin to the smell of fresh bread or honeysuckle in bloom. This aroma doesn't fade easily, resonating with earth's enveloping and steadfast quality. Picture it as a comforting hug that wraps around you, creating a space that's homey and ever-present.
The Metallic Musk: Rotten (but more Musky)
Metal’s scent, described as "rotten," isn't as frightful as it sounds. It’s heavy and sinking, requiring you to bend low to experience its full depth—think of the scent of vitamins or musk. Like a Metal’s descending energy, this scent condenses, implying depth and introspection rather than an actual stench.
Water's Persistent Perfume: Putrid
Water’s aroma, labeled "putrid," might conjure images of pungent reminders, similar to urine’s sharp smell. Yet, it's more about the persistence and awareness it brings. Just as Water’s energy is relentless, this scent remains in the air, tickling the nose and staying with you longer than others.
Homework: Sniffing Around
Feeling adventurous? For this week’s sensory exploration, select a room—preferably belonging to a family member—and take a sniff. Close the door, let the room hold its aroma, and then, with curiosity akin to a Five-Element detective, uncover what scent greets you. Is it a pungent punch or a gentle waft? Does it feel like a towering presence or a subtle whisper on the floor?
And why stop there? Try identifying these Elemental scents in real-world items:
- Wood: Get acquainted with vinegars and rancid grains.
- Fire: Try to capture the essence of burnt toast or floral components.
- Earth: Indulge in the sweet, ripe aroma of fruit or fresh bread.
- Metal: Experiment with the dense fragrance of vitamins or musk perfumes.
- Water: Encounter the sharpness of cleaning supplies or ammonia.
Ending Note: Embrace the Nostril Masters
As you delve into this fragrant journey, remember to let your senses guide your understanding of the Five Elements. Feel inspired by their unique expressions through scent, and perhaps, you'll find your Elemental inclination heightened by this playful sensory adventure. Until next time, happy sniffing!
