Speaking from a Chinese medicine perspective, intention is crucial towards effective treatment. In one class, Liu Ming described how one doctor at Five Branches School was so effective in treating patients that other teachers and students wanted to learn his “secret.” They came and observed his clinic shift. They saw the patients getting positive results but did not see anything special that he did—he needled the same points as other doctors. In other words, there was nothing special or mysterious that he did. Finally, people asked him what his “secret” was. He said that when treating his patients, he truly and sincerely wanted to help them and his mind was completely focused on treating them. That was it! Intention, positive energy, and concentration allow one to focus on the treatment and make it possible for the maximum conduction of qi from doctor to patient.
