The geometry of emotions: using chakra acupuncture and 5-phase theory to describe personality archetypes for clinical use

Abstract
The 5-Phase theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been an integral part of medical acupuncture for 2000 years. The research of John R. Chross, PhD, PhDAc, has resulted in a further evolution of the 5-Phase theory to include the Ayurvedic chakra energy centers. By using chakras, a clinician can appreciate the integration of human organ systems, the neuroendocrine system, and personality attributes (both positive and negative) associated with each chakra...By assigning chakras to the 5-Phase elements on a pentagon per Dr. Cross, it was possible to connect a series of negative or positive emotions, from one to another, using the familiar Ko and Shen cycles, to form theoretical personality archetypes and then to demonstrate archetype usefulness in a sample clinical case.
